Blade Tool for Viewer Window - 17 years agoI have this clip where a cough takes place in the background. it is clear and last exactly 2 frames. i could send it to soundtrack but wit it being so clean i would like to cut it out in fcp. so i loaded the clip into the view and isolated my frame and learned that you cant use the blade tool in the viewer window. i am lo on disk space and i am saving every gig for fcp project. i dont want toby J.Corbett - Café LA 5.1 output - 17 years agoi am un sure if this is a DVDsp question or a fcp question. i would like to use 5.1 sound on my project. now should i start the 5.1 file in fcp or wait til it gets to dvdsp to make it 5.1?by J.Corbett - Café LA Turn Bezier cut into animation - 17 years agoi have a map and i used a bezier tool to cut out the shape of one of the counties. now what i am trying to have happen is this: 1. pan the map to the region i am talking of (accomplished ) 2. Zoom in to where 5 counties meet - ( accomplished ) 3. show a line tracing the area in animation (this is where i think the bezier tool comes in) i want to put like 2 frames of time between eacby J.Corbett - Motion Re: removing room echo - 17 years agoi normally set the shots up pretty good. this shoot was hand held cam work following someone as they gave a tour of a historic site. the rroms were big with hardwood floors. so even my footsteps ( in socks ) were slightly noticed. i am sure that there is some ad ons/ plug-in effects for my dvx to handle this problem. if sennheiser could keep up with demand for their mic systems i would have hby J.Corbett - Soundtrack Pro Re: removing room echo - 17 years agoi will try it. i also tried a gate and it did do a little but was a bit choppy. i did let the job go out the door with the echo-ish verb going on. they didnt nind but i am still experimenting with some things for the next shoot. i have a a lav but it is acting crazy so i have to use my on-board till the manufacturer stock and repairs catch-up.by J.Corbett - Soundtrack Pro Re: Free Hugs - 17 years agoyeah that is wonderful to see that. it was hard to get one but the hugs came in after all. hey mike can i hug you i am feeling nuturing.by J.Corbett - Show and Tell Re: 911 Cover Up is an Excellent Doc. - 17 years agoamerica has done far worse things than 911. everyone chooses to believe what they want to believe about anything. like the mother who thinks her kids is great mean while others see him/her as a bully, drunk, rapist or murderer. sometimes blind love is the best love cause you dont register the negative. it makes it so everything is familiar. i dont know what to believe about our world anymorby J.Corbett - Show and Tell Re: 911 Cover Up is an Excellent Doc. - 17 years agoyeah i see your point. i just hope it doesnt get to that and people admire the work that was done. i will try to be less controversial with my nxt show and tell.by J.Corbett - Show and Tell Re: Up Res to HDV ?? wow - 17 years agoso basically your saying that there is no reason for a person to up res. are there any workflow for improving what you have captured. for instance , if i send 24p or 30p thru compressor and tell it to de-interlace the footage or ad a film filter will this be an improved look. i have a slightly hard time with believing that all of these settings that i have are not useful for helping the final outby J.Corbett - Café LA Re: 911 Cover Up is an Excellent Doc. - 17 years agomike, maybe this is nonsense. but think of this. when people are accused of things that they did but thought no one knew their reaction is often an up roar. some people have this same reaction when their beliefs are called in question. i have always said to myself what if i am wrong. i do this so that i dont mix my personal feelings up with what is presented. i may believe that it was an actby J.Corbett - Show and Tell Up Res to HDV ?? wow - 17 years agoi do 90% of my shooting on a dvx 100b. it is a dv camera it shoots in 30p wonderfully and 24p wonderfully. i am not 100% sure but i think i am getting sd quality what ever that means. i have been reading a lot of different post that suggest that i can upgrade my dv to hdv. how does this happen? and what are the benifits other than an assumingly better image?by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: 911 Cover Up is an Excellent Doc. - 17 years agotell a friend. it is a must watch.by J.Corbett - Show and Tell Re: 911 Cover Up is an Excellent Doc. - 17 years agoyeah that what i said too...wow i watched it 3 times to soak it all in.by J.Corbett - Show and Tell 911 Cover Up is an Excellent Doc. - 17 years agoi dare anyone to watch this video for 8 mins and then stop. it is amazin the amount of research that was done here. you may want to stop because you dont want to believe in the US being this way. But i submit to you, that at the very minimum respect it for the research and the editing.by J.Corbett - Show and Tell removing room echo - 17 years agoi filmed a person talking in a bathroom. there is a lot of echo in it. now i could accually live with this but being anal i dont want to. how can i isolate the voice so that i get rid of some of the echo/reverb on the voice? i have used sound tract to enhance b4 but never to take away.by J.Corbett - Soundtrack Pro correcting low light reds - 17 years agoi filmed a house in the evening. inside of the one of the rooms had lo light due the blinds being down. it has a tint of red to it. when i lower the reds ( with rgb balance ) i start getting a greenish tint. i am wondering if there is another filter or process that might work better for pulling out the reds so that the walls in this shot would have a slightly whiter look.by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: OT - suggest an osX friendly printer that prints ON DVDs? - 17 years agohey wayne, i have been using the epson r300 for like a year or so. works great prints directly to the cd.by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: On2 Flix has no pre-sales support - 17 years agoYeah wayne the swf files are of a lesser quality. sorta takes away the good cam work, quality of footage, and editing you did to create the story. clients dont understand that it is the compression that it taking away from quality. h264 is the best quality you can post to the web it is just not universal enough to reach even 85% of pc users. and pcs still are the most used. i wish there wasby J.Corbett - Café LA Re: On2 Flix has no pre-sales support - 17 years agogreat i sent the post to my developer (minus the knock). i am really trying to understand this because i am being forced by client demand to update my web site. i appreciate your help and would gladly pay a consulting fee for it. i know i have asked you quite a few questions on this. i have created a swf file b4. its a kinda skippy version of the encoded .mov ( skippier than the flv) is thisby J.Corbett - Café LA Re: On2 Flix has no pre-sales support - 17 years agoso when i tell on2 flix pro to create a flv i have to create a swf also. i uploaded a flv for my developer to put on my sight nothing shows up. file link www.creekcitytv.com/webgems.flv i dont know why yes it is still from the demo version but i was trying it to see if it would play while embedded and no go.by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: On2 Flix has no pre-sales support - 17 years agoIs the adobe flash 8 encoder easy to use? i mean ieven if its a little tiny bit of a learning curb but would give me the higher quality i might just opted for that to be sure that if i am getting a solid format 90% universal .flv i dont really need to be able to bulid websites ( would be awful to have it though), i just need a really clean web video that can be played on mac and pc. the pc is theby J.Corbett - Café LA Re: On2 Flix has no pre-sales support - 17 years agops i like the fact that the flix pro gives me the option of creating a player which is not a usable option with the demo. i just wonder if that would solve my local play back issue or if it would be bad for my embedded video on my site.by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: On2 Flix has no pre-sales support - 17 years agook let me get this strait. i have macromedoia and adobe flash players and they will not play these files on my cpu. you say if i get them embedded into my site they will play. if i upload them and attempt to view the file from a browser window they will not play. this is my understanding of what you have said Travis. would i be correct? i am also understanding you to have recomended thby J.Corbett - Café LA Re: On2 Flix has no pre-sales support - 17 years agoeye see so if i upload it to my server and try to view via web adress/ file name it still would not play? oh and yes i am using flix pro standalone.by J.Corbett - Café LA On2 Flix has no pre-sales support - 17 years agoon2 has no pre-sales support. you can not even send an email unless you buy the product and become a registered user. there is no return policy it f you buy it. if anyone has On2 flix please let me know if there is a phone number. i am getting a flash file but it is really skippy and will only play once after encode. seems to have a feature that give you an auto preview but after that no playby J.Corbett - Café LA Re: Rewview of FLV converters for OS X - 17 years agoi just got off the phone with adobe and they do not sell a flash video encoder stand alone. they only have flash pro 8 at 699. well out of my budget. how can i get flash with 300 or so bucks? that on2 never gave me a flv file i could only get swf from it. is that a limitation of the trial software?by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: Sound Compressing - 17 years agowell i hate to bring in a dirty word but protools mbox would probably be a perfect way to do this. with the mbox2 you can go directly into a 44.1/16 or 48/16 environment and you are not limited on time. the hardware has a wide choice of interfaces to use ( rca,xlr,1/4inch...) if the tapes have separate track you could just record 1 track and then cut it put as needed. the great thing about thisby J.Corbett - Café LA Re: Can I barrow a currently playing video from someones website - 17 years agoJohan wow, that is a hot demo real wow. i am not worthy:-) i feel like the most incapable editor at this moment. i hate to ask this in this thread but how do you get the pan effect as if the cam was moving from room to room. and what do u use for 3d. if you have a technic tutorial i will buy it with out thought. and again wow!!!!! oh and thanks too.by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: 80% Eureka !! - 17 years agoi have had enough success with the h264 to make that my codec maybe later i will go flv. if 80% of people can see that thats good. oh by the way the video is going to be embedded with some png's to click on for choices of video to watch. soyi ( mandarin for 'so' ) i guess its all ftp from here.by J.Corbett - Café LA Re: Rewview of FLV converters for OS X - 17 years agoso your saying that i still need to use flv or flip4mac to make my web vids because of the inconsistancy of qt and other formats. i am gonna make a descision to day and live with it so if you have a lick to convertion software that is proven 2b reliable i will need it as i am gonna solve this TODAY if it kills me.by J.Corbett - Café LA |
