Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Pulldown removal of a 3:3:4 pulldown? - 14 years agoThanks for the replies- cutting is not really the issue. These are mostly edited pieces that were transferred from Super 8. We just want to be able to watch them on the desktop without seeing the interlaced frames. So R/T playback in FCP not a big deal either. It's all going to be viewed clip at a time in QT player... Just thinking- how to get rid of that pulldown. -Noahby NoahK - Café LA Pulldown removal of a 3:3:4 pulldown? - 14 years agoNow before you roll your eyes and say, "Noah you're crazy, there's no such thing as a 3:3:4 pulldown!" Well actually there is, in this case we're talking about Super 8mm film shot at 18 frames per second and pulled down to 29.97, which requires a 3:3:4 pulldown. If you don't believe me, check out the film lab's own page on this: That being said, anyone have a suggestion for how eby NoahK - Café LA Re: No Skipping First Play - 14 years agoJust keep in mind most users *hate* this so don't make it too long or too annoying, especially if you are expecting people to watch the disc more than one time. Noahby NoahK - DVD Studio Pro Re: WAAAAAY OT: Things I've never had to do before.... - 14 years agoSure check your manual about making menus using complex photoshop layers. However this has the same issue- each layer must be loaded from disc one at a time. So the performance is dismal and this is way most pro DVDs you'll see use a single simple highlight layer instead. Remember DVD video has been around for an eternity in terms of technology (circa 1996) so they really are not capable of doingby NoahK - DVD Studio Pro Re: WAAAAAY OT: Things I've never had to do before.... - 14 years agoEven in DVDSP sounds attached to buttons are nearly impossible to pull off due to limitations in the DVD spec. It can be done sorta but you'll be waiting an eternity on each button press for the actual sound to be loaded as another track and played. Not worth it. That's Flash design- which is a common perception of clients who are unfamiliar with DVD design limitations. Easy to do on a website (oby NoahK - DVD Studio Pro Re: OT: Ironman 2 Trailer out now... - 14 years agoI'd say it's more script than directing choices- which is why I'm a little sad to see Iron Man 2 load up on the baddies. And I'd debate you that Ridley Scott would have made a markedly better Batman and Robin film from the same script. It's like editing- garbage in/garbage out. BTW- Michael Keaton was offered $35 million to appear in Batman Forever but turned it down because he thought the scrby NoahK - Café LA Re: OT: Ironman 2 Trailer out now... - 14 years agografixjoe Wrote: > > GOOD GUY (HERO)= Protagonist > BAD GUY (VILLAIN) = Antagonist > MORE VILLAINS = MORE CONFLICT > > Movie Making 101: CONFLICT ROCKS!!!

I'm happy with just one good one who kicks extra ass. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Archival of hundreds of hours of footage? - 14 years agoLet's just all go out to dinner and wish our respective backup schemes the best. We can call it Dinner for 5 (or 4 if backups fail). Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Archival of hundreds of hours of footage? - 14 years agoGah- you guys are dense. The "I" in I told ya so is "I=me=Noah" not you guys.by NoahK - Café LA Re: Archival of hundreds of hours of footage? - 14 years agoEh- ok do it your way. I'll just cackle away with my old school LTOs....by NoahK - Café LA Re: Archival of hundreds of hours of footage? - 14 years agoOk- and if the HDD doesn't mount years later will you give me 5 bucks and say I told ya so? Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: OT: GOOGLE Chrome... - 14 years agoFor me Safari and Firefox are already about as fast as my broadband can deliver. I'd be more interested in better overall UI. Loves me some browsers but wow they've evolved so little in the past 10 years... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Archival of hundreds of hours of footage? - 14 years agoI'd take it to a post house and have them back it up onto LTO tapes. Inexpensive and a lot more reliable than to HDDs. Of course you'll need to go back to de-archive, but I'm guessing this is something you don't need to access again anytime soon? Otherwise, yeah lay it off to HDDs if you need constant access. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: fcp 6 compatible with fcp 7? - 14 years agoYou can't. It's a one way trip. Any files saved in FCP 7 can no longer be opened in any earlier version of FCP. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Effect - 14 years agoI also came up with some similar looks in Motion using these overlays: -Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Effect - 14 years agoI think you could make something like that up with a photoshop vignette and then a very tight masked distortion filter to make the edges of the vignette bulge a bit. Looks cool. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: audio synch question: using 30fps "flip camera" footage in a 29.97 timeline - 14 years agoWell it's not going to be drag and drop but definitely not that tricky. Probably a manual drag on longer takes. If you can find another camera that shoots exactly at 29.97 it will be easier. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: what are the EAST SET UP Settings for the Canon D5 ? - 14 years agoThe 7D shoots at actual broadcast frame rates- i.e. the 30p is actual 30p not 30fps, there's also 24p and 29.97, etc. So different ball game than the 5D Mark II, which only shoots 30 fps. Noahaby NoahK - Café LA Re: audio synch question: using 30fps "flip camera" footage in a 29.97 timeline - 14 years agoI don't think it will be an insurmountable task- I mean you aren't planning on a huge amount of footage from the flip are you? Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: FCP to DVD for duplication - 14 years agoWell anything you make in DVDSP is MPEG-2- so the no additional compression is strictly speaking not true here. Once a DVD is a DVD- you can make as many duplicates from that master without losing yet another generation. But anything you pass through DVDSP to author a DVD is going to be compressed to MPEG-2. Otherwise it will not be playable as a DVD. And yes- MPEG-2 is substantially compressed bby NoahK - Café LA Re: FCP to DVD for duplication - 14 years agoYou mean a DVD you can play in a DVD player or using a DVD-R as a place to store video as data? The former is of course a generational loss but only the master disc takes the hit. The second depends on what compression format you take. I'd suggest googling a bit about DVD authoring and compressing video... Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Theatre lighting color issue - 14 years agoI'd just finish the cut first completely- then go into color correction. There's no point in correcting and rendering footage you're not even using. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Theatre lighting color issue - 14 years agoWell it's all just hues. All you have to do with the color corrector is first isolate the color you don't want- the purple. Then subtly adjust the hue until it looks more like the burgundy you do want. Once you have that- it's cut and paste attributes to all clips and fine tune. It shouldn't take much time at all once you understand how the color correction filter works. All the rest of that stufby NoahK - Café LA Re: Theatre lighting color issue - 14 years agoWell I wouldn't call it resort- that's actually a pretty easy color correction fix. Better to do in Color but just as doable with the color correction filter in FCP. Just need to practice. Hard would be blue berries served by blur haired grannies in front of a blue screen. Good luck separating that out. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Theatre lighting color issue - 14 years agoYou basically want this minus the black and white part: Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: Multiple Canvas windows - 14 years agoOr add a couple more video cards to your system. Noahby NoahK - Café LA Re: exporting file with alpha from chroma-key in FCP? - 14 years agoAlso some animation programs prefer an image sequence- such as a Photoshop sequence or PNG sequence. That gives you more flexibility than a movie file.by NoahK - Café LA Re: what are the EAST SET UP Settings for the Canon D5 ? - 14 years agoWhat's a D5? You mean a 5D Mark II?
