Re: Vision mixing? Is it so hard? - 16 years agoI don't know, it's HSBC bank corporate stuff, basic...that's all I knowby Phil UK - Café LA Vision mixing? Is it so hard? - 16 years agoNot related but this could happen to anyone...I've been offered two days of TV studio vision mixing...I did it in Film and television school and it was easy. Cut live between three cameras in a studio interview environment. Easy? Or is it? If anyones ever done this I'd love to hear from you.

It's great to to hear from others on matters as serious as expanding your technical and creative scope which is what this is all about. I work as I said with two AE designers..I cut, online and master and know what this app can do. I love after effects, the whole concept of it and have been tolby Phil UK - Café LA Re: FCP editors and After Effects - 16 years agoAlways great to chat widja all....thank you. No time like the now.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: FCP editors and After Effects - 16 years agoHey Joe, Cool...I must have obfuscated your earlier comments. I guess it's time for me to hit the manuals, I've been putting it off for ages, so much so that I have an After Effects mental block to overcome..What with all those motion paths, key frames, trap code etc and yet I feel that AE is like an old friend with whom I need to get to know better. Getting AE tuition in this country is not easyby Phil UK - Café LA FCP editors and After Effects - 16 years agoGreetings, I work solely as an offline/online editor and work with two After Effects artists and thus have a basic understanding of how AE works though I am not by any stretch a trained graphic artist. I wish I was and have done so for years - I love motion GFX and feel that running After Effects is the one point where I lack.

In the UK, field dominance is upper first for uncompressed 8 bit 422...do I need to adjust field dominance with the filter controls or during export and masby Phil UK - Café LA Re: career advice needed - 16 years agoStart making movies my friend even if you have to go cap in hand to all your friends and wash dishes to do so. You are in a good place for film, in Canada you have more grass roots support for movie making for it is written in the Canadian constitution the films will be made. Most deals for film in Canada are made in Toronto...go to it. Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA Re: career advice needed - 16 years agoWhat is it you want to do? Full time editing, GFX, Directing? In all of Europe you will have difficulty getting a work permit no matter what you do and besides the money is crap unless you are a Smoke person or in there in the British TV trade. Budgets are becoming a joke for the hoops you have to jump through I would stay put in Toronto as lot of post is done there and wheeling and dealing. If yby Phil UK - Café LA Re: OT: They what!? - 16 years agoI can't resist this, yes there is a vast swath of the British populus who are as thick as...pop music, TV, you name it it's been dumbed down...alot of people in Britain are illiterate - People have no sense of history and to think Churchil is a myth fills me with a sullen dispair. Kids TV and the toy market want girls in Britain under the age of 13 to speak like Bratz. It all adds up and we are iby Phil UK - Café LA Re: MPEG 4 to edit in FCP5 - 16 years agoMpeg 4 is insane - unworkable, it melts down..listen to Derek...Streamclip is your saviour.by Phil UK - Café LA Re: FCP tool bar question. - 16 years agoI'm so used to doing this kind off thing by hand - I don't know what a ripple edit is either.by Phil UK - Café LA FCP tool bar question. - 16 years agoI bet this sounds really stupid. I don't use this very often but what is a roll edit? Also what does the edit selection tool do? Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA Re: HDV dominant field order-lower or upper? - 16 years agoIn Britain uncompressed SD is upper field first. The science of video is of great interest to me.by Phil UK - Café LA To update or not to update? Shakey 2008 - 16 years agoI really love an update but am hesitant to update OSX 10.4.10 to intel 10.4.11 and QT 7.3.1 from 7.2.0. I have a mac pro 2 x 3ghz dual core intel xeon running FCP 5.1.4. The computer is running extremely well as it is. What do you reckon...Cheers Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA Re: Timecode shooting on film - 16 years agoHi Derek, thanks for getting back. No scratch audio as its 16 mm with no sound recordinst, no relating timecode, the telecine timecode is different than the slate. It's a nightmare and time consuming. I've done it before - I guess there are no tips for such carryings on. It is amazing what editors have to do to clean up and bring it all to life. Good thing I'm a drummer. Cheers Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA Timecode shooting on film - 16 years agoThis is an open question and relevent to any editor who edit with film. I seem to get problems with clapper/loaders and digi slates. Timecode never corresponds to the time code I edit with nor the time code of the telecinied film rushes. I edit by eye. Half the time I can't read the slate because it's shadowed or out of focus. Has anybody else had this problem? Is it because shoots are so rushedby Phil UK - Café LA Re: truly understanding multiclip features? - 16 years agoDom, I am in North London at Gas & Electric Ltd in Camden. www.gasandelectric.co.ukby Phil UK - Café LA Re: truly understanding multiclip features? - 16 years agoI have my clips stacked V1 - V2 - V3 etc..how do I initialize the multiclip device and what should happen? I can't get it to start up thus I always cut by hand which is fine but I'm losing out somewhere. cheers Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA truly understanding multiclip features? - 16 years agoI do a fair whack of multicamera/angle stuff and have always been fairly hands on ie: I sync the clips by eye because clapper laoders and cameramen still mess up with slates. I stack the clips and cut sequences together. Never have I used any multi clip/cam features. I would like to but don't seem to successfully get the thing going ie: view>multiclip>whatever. Is this a function that makesby Phil UK - Café LA Re: FCP to Avid help - 16 years agoWhats also a drag is Avid keyboards differ from version to version.by Phil UK - Café LA Strange grain with HDV footage. - 16 years agoThis is a corporate thing for a beer company involving a bar with said product using soft focus on background with said product fizzing in its glass in focus. There is a strange grain in the footage not unlike a film look grain filter with grain size up maximum and amount about 50%. It is not supposed to be there. It is fine on the rest of the footage. The cameraman swears it all looked fine in tby Phil UK - Café LA Re: converting 16:9 FHA to 4:3 in FCP - 16 years agoI tried the 4:3 timeline, my hearts not in it so I'm going to a telecine house. This will come back to haunt me and it I can (with confidence) do this conversion in FCP that would be Brilliant.by Phil UK - Café LA converting 16:9 FHA to 4:3 in FCP - 16 years agoI am not sure about this. I have been asked to convert footage shot 16:9 FHA to 4:3. I have never been asked nor have I ever made this conversion. To my knowledge you either shoot 16:9 or 4:3. I know 16:9 FHA is a 4:3 frame but??? Where to go on this? I know that a telecine suite can do this but can FCP 5.1.4 or Natress Film look filters. Cheers Y'all Phil UKby Phil UK - Café LA Re: Art of the Edit? - 16 years agoI think you need to be very clear that you can't just get a non linear system and presto! You are an editor. All the advise on this thread is excellent - only learning and doing it alot gets you there. I don't think there are any rules or text books. Watch tons of movies, edit some super 8 by hand, go to College, get an assitant job or become a runner for a post production house, do everything yoby Phil UK - Show and Tell |
