iphone 4s footage on the big screen - 11 years ago
Sorry for the off topic post, but not sure what the right forum would be here ( if any) anyway... Has anyone projected footage shot with the iphone 4s onto a large screen. I am assembling a video shot by many people using their own phones, which, after I cut it, will be shown at a banquet on large ( 10 foot-ish? )projector screens. I am concerned about how the footage will look. I dont mindby paul kelleher - Café LA
Re: Matrox express card 34- anyone have one? - 12 years ago
well, my plan was to use veescope live on the mbp, which allows live monitor and key testing, BG replace, scopes etc, all on the live shot. In reality, the key looks to be just fine w/o too much futzing. And as always, even w/o the extra monitoring, testing etc, the actual shooting time required expanded to fill our studio time exactly. Amazing!by paul kelleher - Café LA
Green Screen multicam learning the (kinda) hard way - 12 years ago
Shot an industrial green screen, using 5D and 7D, 3 cams, thinking get all the coverage I need, wide medium, close in 1 fell swoop. It was just two actors not too much movement. I cut it together before keying and the 3 cams made it very easy to multicam cut. Then I put in the background photo. OOPS! Maybe this is obvious, but I didnt think about it till post. If you shoot multicam greenby paul kelleher - Café LA
Re: Matrox express card 34- anyone have one? - 12 years ago
Thanks Joe- actually that would only be for OUTPUT from the macbook. I needed input to the macbook. We got it figured tho, just using standard monitors, cam monitors etc, skipping the macbook input. Shot green screen, multicam , which brought up a new set of issues... see my new post! Thanks again Paulby paul kelleher - Café LA

FCP X Multicam audio- driving me crazy- can anyone help? - 12 years ago
Simplest description I can come up with: Created multicam clip with several audio sources too. I "breakout/open up/open in timeline/angle editor" the audio tracks and make changes. ( turn off tracks/ volume changes etc) I go back to my multicam blue track ( where you make cuts) and I hear completely different audio mix - or for instance right now- no audio.

Re: Green screen blues - 12 years ago
I was not there for the shoot.The format is listed above. I'm working in fcp x . Does that still suck or are you talking about fcp 7. Forgive my ignorance but I dont know how to choke the mask.... or even if its painful..by paul kelleher - Café LA - X
Green screen blues - 12 years ago
Hey Guys - I have a keying problem- HAIR! I know this is a common problem. I dont know if its fixable or if its a bad green screen shoot. I can get a decent key on the woman when still, but on playback the edge of her hair looks buzzy fuzzy, vibrating. I've toyed with all the controls, read and watched tutorials, but I can't get it much better. Any suggestions? Thanks PS. No- I dont haby paul kelleher - Café LA - X
Multicam confusion - 12 years ago
Ok here we go: New fcp x user... Vet 7 user 2 source cams , 5d, 7d, plus 3 other tracks of audio ( shown as one audio clip ("3" on FCPx timeline). All syncs up, cuts nicely. I am able to select Audio 3 as the full time audio in the multiclip cut. My issue is audio. I (mainly) want to use one of the extra audio tracks as the master audio. I tried "opening up" the muby paul kelleher - Café LA - X

Double system sound workflow - 13 years ago
Hey Guys- Take a vacation from bashing fcp x and help me out...you'll feel better and so will fcp x Got a project with maybe 100 clips, shot on canon 5d, sound recorded separately ( 5 Trks), now linked to the correct video I used Pluralize to sync everything.

Re: Playhead stops moving in timeline - 13 years ago
Sorry- No answer here- but a confirmation of symptom. My playhead does the same thing, seemingly after the project has been sitting idle for a bit. I hit play- it does- but playhead doesnt advance to new location till I stop playback.. Did you ever get an answer? Thanks paulby paul kelleher - Café LA

standard audio track assignment? - 13 years ago
Is there a specific standard for audio track assignments? 1&2 dialogue, 3&4 ambient, 5&6 effects etc. Obviously anything can go anywhere but much easier to export if someone is expecting specific assignments Thanks Paulby paul kelleher - Café LA
Re: Matrox mini vs NTSC monitor - 13 years ago
Yeah I think thats the smart answer too, but the question stems simply from a physical space limitation, no room for larger dual LCDs AND the NTSC monitor. I may end up having the ntsc available as a final check on titles, interlacing etc., but normally working with the LCDS until thenby paul kelleher - Café LA
Re: Matrox mini vs NTSC monitor - 13 years ago
One more clarification... what I originally meant to ask... although all of the above is great info...is simply this. "If I have an LCD monitor setup thru a Matrox mini box, do I still need an NTSC monitor also?" Can I dump my NTSC CRT? Or do I still need it to confirm titles on interlaced footage etc?"by paul kelleher - Café LA
format for change log - 13 years ago
I'm recutting a movie, working with a writer/ footage finder, producer etc. I'm trying to come up with a working document to identify intended changes, changes made, etc. Something that the writer can fill in to identify changes, than I can make the changes and note it on this same document, so all will know what is going on by looking at this shared document. I definitely have some ideas of whaby paul kelleher - Café LA
Red footage media management help - 13 years ago
I have a project shot w/ the red camera, all footage transcoded to pro res. The finished projects are two 5 minute shorts. I media managed the final projects so the pro res footage is safe. Is there any way to media manage the red cam footage, saving only the parts I used in the finished pieces? The media managed pro res is only 4 or 5 gigs and the entire red raw shoot footage is 280GBs so I donby paul kelleher - Café LA
Re: Matrox mini vs NTSC monitor - 13 years ago
hey shane- I'm talking about the matrox mini ( see above) I should have said MX02 mini I guess, sorry. And yes I meant with a monitor. So, for clarity, what you are saying is: 1. For HD via the Matrox MX02 and a monitor, no NTSC monitor is necessary. Even on interlaced HDV, I can check titles on an LCD? 2. Why wouldnt you use the matrox for standard def? Thanks for weighing inby paul kelleher - Café LA
Matrox mini vs NTSC monitor - 13 years ago
Hi all- I am looking at getting a matrox mini box to allow HDV monitoring. My current setup is fw out to a sony HDV deck to an NTSC monitor. (although this setup is really only for Standard def - It can output HD to NTSC, via the downconvert on the fly- but it looks really crappy) With the Matrox box, do I still need an NTSC crt monitor for checking titles, interlacing etc, or canby paul kelleher - Café LA
red cam ( re) workflow help? - 13 years ago
Hey All- Did a shoot with Red cam. (2k) Captured footage via FCP log and transfer to prores LT. I Did my edit, and now looking at the footage I realize it is quite blown out. I'm thinking that I should have pre- tweaked the footage using the red software. ( or at least thats how I did a previous red cam job- but I'm vague on the details) In any case, this is only a 5 minute timeline. Is theby paul kelleher - Café LA
Video clip on CD? Audio Tracks on DVD? Needle Tracks on...? - 14 years ago
Ok that last one was just to get attention.. Hey Guys- I have a client who wants to make a multitrack audio CD ( comedy), but also has a video animation he wants to add on the end.

Audio dropout on slideshow@ - 14 years ago

Re: SOLVED!....pretty much Re: freaky odd Fcp output size? - 14 years ago
Agreed. In this case I think I would have to do a lot of work to use DVDSP, so I'm battling to stay with iDVD- for this purpose. In any case- I love this forum, for its participation and questions. If i rail against "Blanket statements" like - "Just dump iDVD and use a REAL tool!" , its only a minor complaint and people's valuable inputs far outway anything else, IMHO.

Re: SOLVED!....pretty much Re: freaky odd Fcp output size? - 14 years ago
no problem. it actually gave ME a chance to rant a bit at the "just switch to DVDSP for everything" suggestions that are all over the forums. iDVD has been a HUGE timesaver for me so I'm reluctant to give it up. Consumer apps have their place..ok, now I'm rambling... paulby paul kelleher - Café LA
Re: SOLVED!....pretty much Re: freaky odd Fcp output size? - 14 years ago
well to be honest, I dont really use any of the other iDVD menus, in fact, I'm often shopping in iDVD for a plain still menu w/o the little "TV" windows where the video plays in the menu, before you hit play, so for the most part I agree. But like I said, this is a special case. Short attention span agents look at these reels. I want to show them as many "looks" for my cliby paul kelleher - Café LA
Re: SOLVED!....pretty much Re: freaky odd Fcp output size? - 14 years ago
a few versions were, long ago,but that ability to open iDVD stuff in DVDSP stopped at about iDVD 4 or somewhere..not exactly sure on the number.. yes it would be nice, to build simply in iDVD , then go to DVDSP for much deeper control. paulby paul kelleher - Café LA
