File size images limited to 4096?
I tried to use a large panorama, created from tiling multiple shots, taken with my Nikon SLR.
I was totally stunned when a dialog box popped up, stating that the image exceeded the allowable size and would be reduced to 4096 … what!??I’ve only had Studio 2 for a few days …
But I was hoping that the FCP/Motion combination would make After Effects superfluous …
… but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen …As it turned out, I ended up using Lightwave.
I couldn’t get enough resolution out of Motion.
and I couldn’t get the camera and camera-target controls to work smoothly enough in After EffectsBecause the things I do in Lightwave are so simple (images on cards)
I was hoping to start doing many of them in a motion graphics program.
But if the largest element is restricted to 4096 …Is there (I hope) something I’m not understanding?
Does Motion just need way more memory? (I’m using 6 gigs)
… a work-a-round maybe? -

Here is the exact quote from the dialog box:
“This media is too large to render at full resolution, and will be shown at a lower quality.
The maximum size is 4096×4096”The project itself will output at 1920×1080.
I only need that much of the back drop showing, at any one time.I’m I miss reading this dialog box?
Can I get the full resolution (all the detail) of my panorama when I move the camera across it?I’m running a three way test right now with Motion vs Aftereffects vs Lightwave.
Lightwave seems to be kicking everyones butt … but
It’s a -bunch- of extra steps, files and rendering time.Motion is totally new to me … so
I’m mostly thrashing around on it. Can’t seem to get a camera-target.
And the perspective view seem to only give me -one- perspectiveAfterEffects is an old friend … but I’ve never used the
camera for 3D effects and can’t seem to get a perspective view at all.What I’m doing is very very simple.
I just want to move a 1920×1080 window/viewpoint
around a very large (16000×3000) panorama …
But I need to squeeze every last bit of detail out of the large Photoshop file …OK … I got that off my chest … back to testing 🙂
Thanks

have you tried splicing the large photo into tiles and then arranging them inside Motion and doing each of the moves with the camera inside Motion?

Yea … as it turned out:
A couple of days ago, I did -just that- in AfterEffects with an extremely large 360
that was too big for even Photoshop.
I thought for sure that I would get seams that would prove impossible to work around.
But … to my surprise … I was able to piece them (and keep them) perfectly together.
So … today I went back to the Motion Project I’d been testing with and split the panorama, that Motion had been objecting about, into three pieces of 4000px. And sure enough, I was also able to put them back together seamlessly …
The output looks great.The more time I spend in Motion the more I like it …
I’m starting to feel at home with the “Way” of the program.
But I’m also starting to get the feeling that it really wants about 20 gigs of ram :o)Thanks for the reply
