Re: Workflow workflow
by Craig Mieritz in the Apple Color Forum
Thank you for the replies. I know it's a little convoluted but as you've said previously Arnie (I'm paraphrasing), sometimes you just try to do what the client needs. And the editor is going to edit it in Avid. I agree that testing the workflow is essential. It's a talented...

Re: Creating an own Alpha Channel Transition for DVDSP
by Raymond Tuquero in the Apple DVD Studio Pro Forum
Sorry the Transitions folder is under Library > Application Support I also remembered that you have to render it out with a Black BG ... not a Transparent BG ... DVDSP makes alpha channels with Black and White settings ... I don't remember the terminology of how that works right...

Re: Seeing Through Layers in 3D
by Jim Johnson in the Apple Motion Forum
Howdy, It sounds like the 3D group that you probably have your cube walls in is getting rasterized. This means that it's forced to comp into the scene in layer order (i.e. the order in the Layers List). It will still respect the camera and be depth-sorted unto itself, but...

Re: Motion Tracking with Moving camera vs. object
by Jim Johnson in the Apple Motion Forum
Howdy, What you're asking to do has 3 solutions: 1. Hand animate the corner-points that move out of frame, because they can't be tracked when the feature (i.e. object being tracked) is no longer visible. This can work fine, depending on the length of the shot and how prominent (or...

Re: Motion Tracking with Moving camera vs. object
by Stephen Smith in the Apple Motion Forum
If I could see the clip I could give you a better description on how to do this. It sounds like you may not need to do a 4 corner pin. You may be able to get away with just doing a one or two point track. Just track the...

Re: Motion Tracking with Moving camera vs. object

Jim, I appreciate the input, but this isn't something that complex, and I have seen it done in motion many times, so this is just something I am doing wrong, not something that is going to be solved by another $100 worth of software after spending $1,200 on FC Studio....

Re: Motion Tracking with Moving camera vs. object
by Jim Johnson in the Apple Motion Forum
Howdy, This is the kind of situation where a good 3D track makes the shot a no-brainer, rather than a potentially-tweaky 2D four-corner pin. PFHoe, which is a "lite" version of Pixel Farm's 3D tracker, is cheap and can export 3D matchmove for Motion (as well as a bunch of...

Re: Workflow workflow
by Arnie Schlissel in the Apple Color Forum
We had to test to find out. The original was P2 DVCPro HD, but cut on Avid. Who knows, if it had originated on tape & had been digitized to an 8 bit Avid codec, it might have been fine. Or not. Arnie Post production is not an afterthought! http://www.arniepix.com/...
