Re: OT: R.I.P. Steve Jobs - 13 years agoSad day. The world has lost a true pioneer.by Bill Kelly - Café LA Re: The cost of plug-ins - 13 years agoI've started doing a few projects in PPro rather than Final Cut since the debacle. I was one of "those guys" who had PPro on the hard drive with the Production Premium package but never opened it. Of course, that meant that I didn't own any plugins or filters for PPro. Because I'm a heavy After Effects user, I took advantage of the Adobe Dynamic Link and brought my sequences into AE andby Bill Kelly - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: OT: DaVinci Resolve Lite (Mac) FREE DOWNLOAD with full manuals!! - 13 years agoWas able to download it today. Going to take a look over the weekend.by Bill Kelly - Café LA Re: OT: DaVinci Resolve Lite (Mac) FREE DOWNLOAD with full manuals!! - 13 years agoJust tried to download it and got a Site Error page after going through registration. Grrrr. I hope they can get it fixed soon. I imagine they are having some bandwidth and server issues today.by Bill Kelly - Café LA Re: Compression to put feature cut online - 13 years agoDownload MPEG Streamclip and open your full resolution file in it. Choose H264 on the top drop down as your codec. (Actually I'd recommend downloading X264, as it encodes in the H264 codec but is much faster). See the box that says limit data rate? Check that and then start plugging in some numbers. Try about 1500 kbps as a start and see what it tells you the resulting file size will be. Adjust tby Bill Kelly - Café LA Re: FCPX: No multicam. So... I have FCP Studio 2. If I can find a copy, should I upgrade to Studio 3 just to have the last version? - 13 years agoI saw a few posts around the internet that FCS 2 runs under Lion. You have to install Lion over Snow Leopard as an upgrade instead of making a clean installation. Final Cut Studio 2 itself doesn't use Rosetta, it's just it's installer that does. I'm hoping it's true because I never upgraded past FCP 6 either.by Bill Kelly - Café LA - X Re: OPPORTUNITY - WHO THE PRO'S ARE!!!! - 13 years agoBen King Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Actually Robert a "Pro" editor could cut a good > show on Windows Movie maker if they had to. That's absolutely the truth. Tools help, and better tools help more, but in the end it's the talent and experience that gets the job done.

I'm finishing up some projects in classic FCP this week and weekend, but next week I'll be starting a new project and I'm going to do it in PPro as an experiment, so I might have some answers for you then.by Bill Kelly - Café LA - X Re: Sadly - Premiere Pro 5.5 is looking better - 13 years agoAndy Field Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > From a creativecow thread -- user who's making > Premier Pro work nearly like FCP7 (but with 64bit > speed and little or no rendering) > > Making the switch to Premiere Pro That's me!

The animator is wrong. Your DV is 720x480 non-square pixels. IF translated to square pixels, it would be 640x480. However, if you're planning to output to tape then you want to keep your sequence 720x480 with your aspect ratio NTSC-CCIR 601/DV. Actually even if you're planning on outputting for the web or another square pixel format, wait til after you are done editing and have expoby Bill Kelly - Café LA Re: Crisp Animation? - 16 years agoThere's probably no need to deinterlace your footage. If it's an animation from a graphics program (be it AE, Maya, Cinema 4d, whatever), the footage is most likely progressive. I'd guess it has to do with your sequence settings. What codec are you using for your timeline? DV is pretty bad with graphics. If you're dropping your footage into the DV timeline, then it's being rendered into the DV coby Bill Kelly - Café LA Re: I need a checklist for my first BIG Edit project on HD - 16 years agoTwo guys walk into a bar. Why didn't the second guy duck? Ba dum bum.by Bill Kelly - Café LA Re: Audio Levels Gone Wild - 16 years agoI've noticed that NBC's HD feeds (noticed this in two different locations, LA and in Pennsylvania) are very, very low in comparison with the other networks. It's kind of annoying because when you're watching an NBC show and switch to another channel you get blasted out of your seat because you had to increase the volume so much on the NBC channel. There's definitely some different standards out tby Bill Kelly - Café LA Re: FCP & After Effects Problem - 16 years agoYour easiest remedy might be applying the Shift Fields filter to the footage coming from AE. That will shift the field order from lower to upper. Probably the better option is to give the AE guy your sequence settings and have him use those as his export settings.by Bill Kelly - Café LA |
