Re: Resolution Question - 13 years ago
Crikey! Well, that settles it then, Graeme. Silly of me not to spot that. Best Harry. (PS. hey guys, is it me, or is this incredibly complicated and full of - like - logarithms and stuff?)by harry323 - Café LA
Does your EDIT menu occasionally go AWOL? - 13 years ago
I have noticed that, from time to time, my EDIT menu simply isn't there. I don't notice it most of the time, because I'm so grown up that I use keyboard commands. I've trashed prefs endlessly, but it still happens from time to time and, when I need something like PASTE ATTRIBUTES (which I learned in this forum, thank you all) I have to close down and restart. Then the menu item returns.by harry323 - Café LA
Re: Resolution Question - 13 years ago
Jeff, if the Genesis has loads of photosites but only outputs 1920x1080, why does it have more photosites? Are they used up in color space? And if that is so, does additional color space add to perceived resolution? Harry The Idiot.by harry323 - Café LA
Re: UTTERLY O/T. NEED FILM CUTTING ROOM - 13 years ago
Dan, Thanks so much for the reply. By coincidence I went round there yesterday afternoon. They are very nice people and it is now "owned" by Ryan Noto who in another coincidence, used to be my client rep at Fotokem. Thanks again. Harryby harry323 - Café LA
UTTERLY O/T. NEED FILM CUTTING ROOM - 13 years ago
I need a film cutting room for 6-8 weeks for an archiving project, 16 & 35. Need two benches with rewinds and inspection lights and additional gear if possible in both gauges including splits etc. Ground floor (there's a lot of stuff to log) Internet. Secure. Any ideas appreciated. Sorry to post this here, but it's difficult to find film places these days. Hugs, Harry.by harry323 - Café LA

Re: Multiclip Audio Sync Problem - 13 years ago
I eventually got PluralEyes to do all the hard graft for me. Cost about $150 but worth it. Tech support is very good. The guy emailed me back very quickly about 6 times and at last we got it working ok. It takes quite a while to do the work, though. H.by harry323 - Café LA

PS., Joey. Maybe we too could have a book on Amazon if we compiled a list of pretentious and annoying film business terms like "biz" H.by harry323 - Café LA
Re: OT: A Good Editor?? - 13 years ago
"Sizzle reel" is starting to get on my nerves. I found it funny at first because it's so vulgar, but now I hear it from everyone. And your suggestion to ban: "sex it up" will surely find no objection. On the other hand, I am fond of the phrase, "add a splash of scotch to my gin". And I'm afraid that editors are somewhat prone to whining complaints while viewing daby harry323 - Café LA

P.S. Could we please institute a moratorium on the term "director's vision", or "vision" in toto? Love Harry.by harry323 - Café LA

Re: HDV to ProRes422 Render Looks Crappy - 13 years ago
Hang on ... Jeff ... If what you say is true, Jeff, then I should NOT have seen any improvement. I am using method #1 in your post, as I understand it: Shoot Canon 1080 24f HDV recorded onto a Firestore as QT movies. Download to MacBrain. Plunk this into a ProRes422 timeline. (No render necessary, obviously, but better to state this) Cut film and render any effects and layers and whatnoby harry323 - Café LA
Re: HDV to ProRes422 Render Looks Crappy - 13 years ago
I used to simply go: EXPORT> QUICKTIME (The top option, not via compressor or anything) and then you get dialog box asking for name and destination. This is HDV. The SEQUENCE, SEQUENCE SETTINGS> COMPRESSOR WAS previously set to HDV by default. I re-exported an old piece using your suggestion to change the SEQUENCE SETTING COMPRESSOR to ProRes 422 and the result was that there wasby harry323 - Café LA

Re: HDV to ProRes422 Render Looks Crappy - 13 years ago
Wow! Strypes ... That makes an amazing difference (changing the sequence setting compressor to ProRes). I can't believe it. I have exported yards and yards of material just going through the default Export To Quicktime setting. There oughta be a law 'bout this. Thanks a million, Strypes. I'm truly amazed at the difference in quality. Harry.by harry323 - Café LA

Re: HDV to ProRes422 Render Looks Crappy - 13 years ago
I've been taking HDV - in this case Canon's proprietary 1080f - editing in a Pro Res 422 HQ timeline and rendering out to Quicktime for mastering to tape for broadcast delivery. In my case I have noticed "blocking" which mysteriously appears in the ProRes version and which is not in the original DHV recording. Please let us know when you get to the bottom of this.

Re: Sorta off topic FCS, but Mac question about beloved Disk Warrior. - 13 years ago
Thanks very much for the advice, everyone. It seems, per John K. that I can't do an OS9 thing and make a miniature start-up system or partition so, per advice, I will install a dupe system on an external drive and boot from that when I am "Warrioring" my main start-up drive. But Andreas, in my massive ignorance, what do you mean by "Why not make a bootable copy of the CD?&quoby harry323 - Café LA
Re: Blurring Logo - 13 years ago
Andy Mees is a God. I use his plugins every day. I heavily use Andy's Region Blur - and, of course, have a special fondness for Andy's Gradient ND which, I am honored to remind you one and all, the Great Andy wrote at my request. (Blush). I am also particularly taken with that Grid thing of his - can't remember the name - but it has aspect ratios and TV and action safe and all that stuff oby harry323 - Café LA
Sorta off topic FCS, but Mac question about beloved Disk Warrior. - 13 years ago
I used to always make the DiskWarrior CD my startup disk to run it. I have just discovered that I can copy DW to my System Drive and it works fine on all but my System Disk. The only thing is wants - when you run it for the first time as a copy - is for you to enter your serial number. Fine. Of course DW works a million times faster on a hard drive and you don't have to wait the normal inteby harry323 - Café LA
Re: "Whatchoo Talkin' 'Bout Willis?!" RIP Gary Coleman... - 13 years ago
Met him for a couple of days while working on a TV pilot shot in London for an American network during the 80's. He was a decent chap. I kinda liked him. Very nervy. Cautious. But a good soul, from the perspective of a mere technician on the set. It's so awful when decent people get exploited and fall from grace and popularity. Another case of the child actor exploited by parents, as I unby harry323 - Café LA

Re: distorted topped-out audio crunches - 13 years ago
Pay no attention to my snickering friends, Osbourne. This expensive ($350) program will fix overloads by rebuilding the waveform: They claim (and I can attest to the truth of this) "eliminate overload distortion by automatically rebuilding clipped sections of audio" What a bunch of prudes!
