1920x1080p GH2 footage gets converted to 720 59fps through Log and Transfer - 12 years ago
Silly question - there doesn't seem to be a preference in LOG AND TRANSFER to make sure my footage from the GH2 doesn't get converted from 1920x1080p (24fps) when it gets into my bin. Am I off in assuming I should be able to just capture the native files at 24p HI REZ through Log and Transfer. All the love - Genoby Geno Andrews - Café LA

Re: Hey all, Geno here with an output question regarding footage going to a Davinci for color correction. - 15 years ago
Shane! Thanks. Didn't know that. Renting a deck and outputting to tape isn't in their budget. (At least not from my end.) What FILE can I give them they can work with if I output from FCP? Can I output as Animation or some other format they can use? Does changing the format degrade the quality? Can they color correct the film and give me back an M2V for Studio Pro so I don't need to bby Geno Andrews - Café LA
Hey all, Geno here with an output question regarding footage going to a Davinci for color correction. - 15 years ago
I'm cutting a short. The footage is odd compared to what I've cut in the past. 960x720 (DVD Pro HD 720p60) 59.94 fps I've cut the project and now the filmmaker wants me to output a master file for color correction on the Davinci. I output the file with the same specs as the original footage. But the color guys sayy they can't import the file. ???? So now they want me to output is a formaby Geno Andrews - Café LA

Actually another friend sent me the file - now I'm getting a message saying "Please choose a translation template"??? I chose the 6.0 project file and I get ERROR: No translation templates matching the selected XML were found. Unable to import this file.

Re: Need help converting a 6.0 file to 5.1.4 - MORE HELP - 15 years ago
I found this on Mad Cow - "Is there any way to open a FCP 6 project in 5.1.4 or is the only way to open it upgrading to 6?" You can create then save an XML file of the whole project in FCP 6 and then import the XML file into FCP 5.1.4. What won't be included in the XML export file are any codecs or filters that are unique to FCP 6. That should do it for you. -----------------by Geno Andrews - Café LA

Re: Hey Guys - Geno Andrews here - quick question about 1920x1080 vs 1888x1062 - 15 years ago
Excellent comments. If I'm handing over all the assets to the DVD author, don't I want to give him all the elements as beautiful and uncompressed as possible so he can fit it all on the DVD? And if I go back to my timeline and output my movie as ProRes HQ 23.97 1920x1080 - should that be the best file format I can give him? Won't it be huge? WOn't he need to recompress for the DVD?

I have the master HD output of my film at 1920x1080 based on the Quicktime GET INFO I have another version of it that I created from the original file IN QUICK TIME (I had to kill an opening title) but this new version which looks identical to the original is 1880x1062 and is only 16 gigs as opposed to the original which is 69 gigs.

Hey guys!!!! Geno Andrews here. Michael, since the last meeting D. David and I sold "Cold Play". As a matter of fact, last month at the meeting we didn't have the time during show-and-tell, but if there's time at the next meeting I'd love to show the 5 minute cold open to the film.

Re: Could running DISK WARRIOR, SEPARATELY, on stripped drives be causing dropped frames? - 16 years ago
Thanks for the input. Though I'm still confused only because I merely followed someone else down the rabbit hole regarding the initial setup of our drives. To my best recollection here were the steps taken. We bought OWC Mercury Elite Pro 800 gig drives. (Now waht's confusing is that I guess there are two 400gigs in each case. SOmehow they are hooked together to create a single 800gig) So wby Geno Andrews - Café LA

Hey Guys - Geno Andrews here. As many of you know, D. David and I sold our first feature. Yeay for us.

DVD SP - Once I drag an Aif to the Main Menu - I CAN'T GET IT OUT - 16 years ago
I posted a couple of questions regarding this in the DVD SP forum, but no love over there and there must me a fast answer. I dragged an aif file to the MAIN MENU from my assets bin. I don't want there now. But I can't delete it from the assets cause it's in use in the main menu. But I can't find out how to delete it from being used in the Menu. I'm in the hell loop. Please help.

How can I remove an item from the assets bin OR from somewhere it's being used? - 16 years ago
Very confused here. Related to my last post, I simply want to DELETE the aif from the menu where I dragged it. But I can't select it anywhere. When I simulate the menu I hear the aif being played. 1) It's too loud. How do I turn it down? 2) What if I DON'T want it to play with the menu? I can't find it in the menu track to delete it. And I can't delete it from the assets bin cause it sayby Geno Andrews - DVD Studio Pro
How can I lower the volume of an aif track dragged to the main menu? - 16 years ago
Hey guys, working in DVD SP 4, I can drag (from the assets bin) an aif to the main menu. But the volume is too loud in comparison to any of the chapters I click to. Can I change the volume of this aif track I've dragged to the main menu without having to open the aif, reset the volume and reimport? This is probably so easy and I just can't figure it out.

Re: Trouble getting clear image in DVD studio pro when converting from HDV to SD - 16 years ago
Numu, Does the footage look soft or blurry even when previewing in DVD Studio Pro? Or is the real issue that you don't like the look on a large screen TV? Ben, if the issue is in the conversion, and NOT just that it looks bad on a TV, is there a better setting our of Compressor? I remember I had issues with this kind of thing last year while cutting my feature. Converting HD to SD and haby Geno Andrews - DVD Studio Pro
Re: Alpha channel education needed - 16 years ago
Handles it like a clip. Perfect. Timeline, just like AE. Key frames, customizable FPS, it recognizes all the output formats AND you have complete control over all the standard PHOTO manipulation in PS. Layers, Masks, Adjustment Layers, Layer Styles, Smart Objects, Clipping Groups... very cool. It's the main difference between CS3 Standard and Extended. Extended has the 3D aspects and Aniby Geno Andrews - Café LA
Re: Alpha channel education needed - 16 years ago
You guys are so amazing... one day I'm buying the rounds. "I'm curious, though... Why are you tweaking video in photoshop?" CS3/4 is making inroads toward becoming a more useable tool for filmmakers. I know I know I know, (Joe,) much of what I'm doing can be done in AE. But for me, the learning curve there is pretty steep. And in Photoshop we can now tweak video footage as a smby Geno Andrews - Café LA
Re: Alpha channel education needed - 16 years ago
Tom, this actually does seem to be what I was looking for. Bottom line is more of a PS CS3 question. CS3 EXTENDED has the AE Timeline built in. Very useful for tweaking Video imported from FCP. Problem was RENDERING the video OUT of PS. I'd loose my transparent BG. The ANIMATION setting seems to work based on the "Millions +" tip. I can now key out the GREENSCREEN footage and oby Geno Andrews - Café LA
Re: Alpha channel education needed - 16 years ago
J - You've hit something here. If I render out of PS as an ANIMATION I get the RGB + NOW it holds the transparency. The only bummer now is, that i have to RENDER when I get back to FCP. I could have rendered out the file in the Project's native settings, i.e., DVC Pro Blah Blah Blah, but now that I think of it, ANY transparency whether from PS or AE or even from LIVE TYPE would neeby Geno Andrews - Café LA

Alpha channel education needed - 16 years ago
A little knowledge please. If I have a greenscreen shot I key out in FCP. How can I export that shot so the background is TRANSPARENT if I open in Photoshop. And on the reverse, how can I EXPORT from Photoshop and maintain the transparent BG? For example, if I take a clip from LIVE TYPE into FCP the BG is transparent. Same clip into PS the background is transparent. But how can I expoby Geno Andrews - Café LA

I know Rich from my old Photoshop WOrld days through Scott Kelby. I don't own his book, but I've been through it. It's great, but it's more of an encyclopedia for DV and Photoshop. Tons of topics that I wouldn't even want to touch. It's not what I would consider a RECIPE book like the books I've been involved with. My work has been in many of the Photoshop WOW! Books.
