timecode jump - 17 years agohey guys, just a question about something i noticed. here are a few of my settings for reference: sequence: Kona2 525 29.97 playback: " " I am editing a sequence and i have notice a leap in my timecode.... 1:01:59;29 (00:01:59;29), the time code will jump to 1:02:00;02 (00:02:00;02). and will continue in 2min intervals. Now this happens at everyby James T - Café LA Re: Export Alpha Channel....ONLY!! - 17 years agoGOT IT!!! no need to render.... and use QT conversion to stay in Animation!!!! If at first you don't succeed, keep ****ing it up till it works.by James T - Café LA Re: Export Alpha Channel....ONLY!! - 17 years agosorry guys, Just need to get back to top of the forum list.... kinda have a deadline..... Thanks again. Jby James T - Café LA Export Alpha Channel....ONLY!! - 17 years agoHey Guys, I have an eight second clip that is an Alpha channel exported from 3d studio max in QT Animation. I need to do some minor adjustments (trimming and looping) in FCP, and export the clip w/transparency, before i bring the animation into my sequence as an alpha channel. Everything works well, except for the export after the trimming. I have set the "view" in my caby James T - Café LA Re: VTS folders - 17 years agoThanks for the reply, My question was directed more to difference between the working protocol in DVD Studio vs. a program such as Scenarist (where you can link between video tracks, do to the ability to put multiple tracks in a single VTS) But, now thinking about it... "and the timeline is not like a FCP timeline." makes sense, just not perfect senseby James T - DVD Studio Pro Re: Video Bit Rate too HIgh - 17 years agogot it! Don't ask me how must have been a fluke (6hr fluke) Thanks Jby James T - DVD Studio Pro VTS folders - 17 years agohey guys. I have a question about VTS folders. "WHY IS THERE ONE VTS FOLDER PER TRACK?" Why can i not move multiple clips to a VTS folder? Is this standard DVDSP protocol? (kind of a pain in the ass for linking) perhaps you can explain. thanks again Jby James T - DVD Studio Pro Re: Video Bit Rate too HIgh - 17 years agothanks for the reply, all audio is compressed to Dolby2.0 ac3 TRT: 1:22:46;13 I have explored all options I have no idea what the problem is...... Could it be part of the VTS order? thanks again, Jby James T - DVD Studio Pro Video Bit Rate too HIgh - 17 years agohey guys, I have seen this topic on here from time to time, and now its my turn. I have just completed the authoring for a Dual Layer disc. With a bit rate of 5.5 w/ VBR 7.4 I get an error during the muxing stage: "Video Bit Rate Too High" I have reduced my bit rate from an original 6.0 w/ VBR 8.0 to 5.5 w/ VBR 7.4, and still same message.

Which text are sans and which are sans serif, and ones don't interlace properly. It is such a pain when you don't know! thanks again, Jby James T - Motion tracking - 17 years agohey guys, another simple one, what is the best way to control tracking from the center out and not from left to right as simple key framing will get you? thanks again, Jby James T - Motion Re: solids - 18 years agonever mind, just modified a shape (blue rectangle) changed the fill mode and shape works perfect. however, if there is a way to make a solid from scratch, i am all ears thanks Jby James T - Motion solids - 18 years agoyes i am trying to create a very simple project I am editing a trailer were there is nudity but can not show it.

I have tried what you have said but I do not think that I am working it properly. Let me know if my layers are in order of your instructions. Where do i place the text in the layers? Which layers do I apply the filters(color correction) to? I have changed the order of these layers asby James T - Motion keying - 18 years agohey guys, I have some footage shot on DV in a studio with a white back drop. I have keyed out the white, dropped a white matte behind the footage, and placed my text in-between. My question is, Is there anyway to clean up the keying, or the "white border of separation?" Thanks guys for any help, heres a picture if it helps. Thanks, Jby James T - Motion bending text - 18 years agohey guys, i have a real easy question i just keep drawing a blank. i have some text that i want to bend. i pretty sure i remember a filter were you can bend your text by selecting a point over a line and dragging? appreciate any help thanks Jby James T - Motion center trough - 18 years agowhat's up guys, is there a way to center trough your text, FCp text looks like ****, just thought i would run them through motion. Might make things a little easier, i noticed the * doesn't quite continue over to motion. thanks for any help, Jby James T - Motion more to do about workflow - 18 years agojesus, I can get anything right. same footage as before, shot on SDX dvcpro50 anamorphic, sequence in FCP dv50 anamorphic sent to motion looks fine, trying to bring it back into FCP for printing to video, when importing the project file into FCP, it has been squeezed into a 4:3 aspect. I dont know what to do anymore, If someone could help me out with the correct workflow it would be awsomeby James T - Motion Re: motion workflow - 18 years agoyea, I sent the whole sequence, its 30sec. now, when I render in FCP5, it going to to give me FCP quality text, correct? if this is the case I dont want that. Is it going to lose the qualityby James T - Motion motion workflow - 18 years agohey guys, got another easy one for you, unfortunately not for me. I recently shot and edited a commercial on a SDX900, edited in FCP 5, exported to DV50 NTSC anamorphic.mov, brought the file into Motion to do the text, now I need to print to tape for the broadcast. What is the best way to do this w/o losing my text quality? I dont believe you can print to video through motion, can you? Or,by James T - Motion Re: mask - 18 years agoi wanted to know if there are more features to the alpha mask other then just to cut and past with the layer ( i.e. after effect effects)by James T - Motion mask - 18 years agoother then copying and cutting masks for other layers, are there any other uses for the mask in motion 4? (i.e. morphing etc).by James T - Motion bit rate - 18 years agohey guys, whats goin on? just curious really, is there a minimum bit-rate that should be used vs going to a DVD-10? i understand how to find the correct bit rate for the right amount of data in the build, i am just curious if it is better to switch to a DVD-10 before you hit a bit rate of 2? thanks guys, hope to hear from youby James T - DVD Studio Pro Re: overlay's - 18 years ago"full color" = (all colors) hell, Ill even settle for 256 sorry, Jby James T - DVD Studio Pro Re: overlay's - 18 years agohey hal, No, I wanted the face in top to show full color when selected? I am aware that DVDSP, can handle 3 overlay colors; blue, black, and red. but was hoping for a miracle. I dont know, is there way to hide a dropzone until selected I dont think this is going to happen, I have already created a different layout. if anyone as any ideas, let me know Thanks for your time, Jby James T - DVD Studio Pro |
