3D apparently isn’t hurting plugin makers…

[Simon Ubsdell] “Yes, motionvfx do some great stuff … but for anyone who’s interested in making this effect for themselves in Motion, you might like to try out my popular YouTube tutorial that shows you how to do it:”

That’s, as usual, a great tutorial, did it a while ago with… decent results. Not because of the tutorial, but because I still basically fumble around in Motion. 🙂 You should DL the demo of the mvfx thingy, it’s quite nice. Perfect for lazy editors like me! 😉

[John Rofrano] “Are you referring to the fact that all keyframes are linear and there isn’t any way to set a curve/easy in/out? Because I agree with you there. Other than that, I don’t have a problem with how keyframes are handled.”

Me neither. 10.2 seems to have a lot more ability to set curves on keyframes as well. Not sure if it was the case before as I don’t do a ton of keyframed moves, but I just did some stuff the other day and pretty much every KF I set had a linear/smooth option. Is this missing for some KF stuff?

My favorite default feature is that titles act like compound clips in X. Change one, they all change. Really annoying for slates and spots with multiple versions containing the same titles/cards. Sure, just remember to duplicate it and delete the original before changing it. Efficient.

Oh yea, I do see the Linear and Smooth option now. That was not there is 10.1.4 (I just checked my other Mac Pro). So this must be new to 10.2. Awesome!

How are you getting the curve handles?

That caught me out big time when I first used PPro again!

I don’t see these, what effects?

Just click the KF in the viewer, helps to zoom in so you can see them…

[Steve Connor] “I don’t see these, what effects?”

The picture is just a transform, but they seem to appear in most things you’d KF in the viewer. Again, I haven’t really poked around that much to see if they’re missing or different in other things, but they seem to show up like that when I need them…

lol… still gets me now and again.. The best thing about Pr is that, unlike FCP 7, I can work in X at the same time. You really get a feel for the difference between the two apps when you’re CMD-Tabbing between the two all day. 😉

[Scott Witthaus] “import every friggin folder as a bin” unless I missed something”

Most times you want to assume to bring in a folder as a bin or preserve the folder structure. You also have use of the Media Browser for different workflows.

[Scott Witthaus] “and title tool”

You have three title tools. Built in, Photoshop and After Effects. If you don’t like one, there are two others. That said, I agree that the workflow of the built-in title tool could use some work.
