Swamp People Trailer...How did they do that? - 13 years ago
Hey Guys, We're gearing up to shoot a new Show Open for one of out clients and recently ran across a visual effect we'd very much like to consider. I think I'm familiar as to how this is done, but any insight as to how exactly this effect is done would be a huge help. My thought is a bank of DSLR's on a rail system. Has anyone executed an effect like this within FCP or AE? Thanks guys, herby Jay Brown - Café LA

Re: Importing a targa sequence - 17 years ago
Another quick question...After I exported the Targa files to a DVCPRO50 format, the images are really nice and clean, but during a few shots where there is a lot of full screen movement, there seems to be slight image problems. The image retains the quality, but on the top third and the lower third of the image there is a small bar across each third that almost looks like it is blurred and shakiby Jay Brown - Café LA

Importing a targa sequence - 17 years ago
Hey Kids, Big question: I have a Targa sequence that I need to import into FCP. It's an intro for a Television Show that was created on Avid-based editors by my client. What I have is roughly 1400 individual files in the .tga extension. How can I convert this to an uncompressed quicktime file so I can work on it in FCP? Any info would make me smile. Thanks, Jasonby Jay Brown - Café LA
Working with Mutiple formats in one timeline - 17 years ago
We have a Client who is going to be sending us footage in HDV and some in SD. We need to know what is going to be the best way to import the HDV footage? Are we going to need additional hardware or will FCP take care of the HDV? We do have a sony hdv deck coming. Will there be a problem working with both formats in one time line in FCP? if so what is the best compression settings to use to mby Jay Brown - Café LA

Re: Jagged Edges - 17 years ago
Koz, It still is really jagged. I put a soft edges filter on the video files and that seemed to help. -Jby Jay Brown - Café LA
Re: Jagged Edges - 17 years ago
Koz, I'm not working w/ graphics here...just raw footage. All I am doing is rotating the image after I re-size it to 70% and rotating it to 10.45. There are step-like jaggies on the edges of the video. Any more suggestions...and nothing changed after I went to 100% on the Canvas. Thanks, Jby Jay Brown - Café LA
Jagged Edges - 17 years ago
Hey Kids, Anyone know a good way to get rid of jagged edges. For example...I have three layers of video w/ a gaussian blur, all different sizes and rotations. The main video clip has a slight rotation to it. When the clips are angled I get all kinds of terrible looking jaggies on the sides of the video clips. If there is a trick it would really help. Thanks, Jasonby Jay Brown - Café LA
File Storage Solutions - 17 years ago
Hey all, Looking for the most efficient way to share video files among multiple computers. I am a bit confused over the cost jumps from 2TB servers and a Raid Array of 2TB. What are the benefits and disadvantages of either of these options? Our goal is to share video files locally in-house between three editors. We would like to be able to work on the same project simultaniously, but theby Jay Brown - Café LA

Deck Quit Reading Timecode??? - 17 years ago
Hey Kids, Real wierd, I have a Panasonic DV1000 MiniDV deck that quit reading timecode yesterday. What exactly could be wrong. I put a tape in and it just has the signal that the tape is playing, but no timecode. I've tried numerous tapes that all have solid timecode layed down and still get nothing. Any info??

Reconnecting deleted auiso from timeline - 17 years ago
Hey guys, Any way to reconnect the audio to a video clip that was brought in onto the timeline when both channels were locked...thus no audio is there when you doubleclick on the video file on the timeline. The only way I can figure to do it is to go back and re-cut the montage without the audio channels being locked. My editor didn't realize they were locked until he was halfway done w/ theby Jay Brown - Café LA

Upgrade from FCP 5.0 to FCP 5.1 - 17 years ago
OK, so I've been having issues with my new Mac Pro 2.66 and it was made aware to me that I need to upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 for things to run smoothly. Is this correct? If so, where do I get the upgrade. Do I really have to do it by mail??? Thanks guys and gals. -Jay B.by Jay Brown - Café LA

Very Dissappointed Mac Pro Editor - 17 years ago
Hey GUys, A few questions. First, I am a die hard Mac Fan and have three edit suites with all Mac and Apple Products. I recently ordered a Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz. w/ 2 GB RAM and the X1900 Card. Since I have got it I have had nothing but problems. I have a new Graphics card on order being shipped because of a bad DVI Port on my original. I am also getting a power down shut off message wheneverby Jay Brown - Café LA
64 bit processors and FCP5.1 - 17 years ago
Will upgrading to FCP5.1 take advantage of the 64bit processor in the new macpro towers? I am hoping to speed up rendering time and file conversion time.

Colour Correction Issue - 18 years ago
Hey guys, I had this real wierd timeline issue last week where I was getting dropped frames everytime I played a clip dirrectly from my timeline. Well, I have it narrowed down to one thing...the Color Correction Filter. On every other video filter I have used I have no problem playing the rendered clip from my timeline, no dropped frames. Now, when I add the CC filter I get the green lineby Jay Brown - Café LA
Re: Wierd Issues w/ my Timeline - 18 years ago
Derek, I am watching on an external monitor. I turned off drop frames and all that did was set my audio and video off sync. I really don't know why my new set-up is failing. It is the same set-up I have w/ my G4, same software...everything. It isn't a drive issue because I have 467 GB left on the 500 GB drive, where all the footage is coming from. I also tried using an external HD that isby Jay Brown - Café LA
Re: Wierd Issues w/ my Timeline - 18 years ago
Working with Mini DV and no, I don't have to render the footage when I drop it in. I added a Colour Correction to the clip and it still didn't need rendered, but did anyway and it still is dropping frames. The footage is in the internal 500GB drive, which is formatted OS Extended. The footage plays fine until I put a filter on it...then it drops frames all over. I'm wondering if it's a rendby Jay Brown - Café LA
