What have you done in X lately?

[Tony Sarafoski]

Been using X since version 10.0 and have done the following work between 10 – 10.4

• Cut this pilot in about 5hrs https://vimeo.com/39737711
• A website intro, using AF, Motion for graphics, edit was all done in X https://vimeo.com/38404194
• One of many AMEX testimonial we have been working on, all done in X + Motion 5 https://vimeo.com/43089453
• Will be editing 12 webisodes in the next few weeks,

Had 8hrs to transcode, edit, upload for proofing, make adjustments & send final master to client, this to date was my biggest challenge in X https://www.heraldsun.com.au/travel/tourism-australia-reaches-three-million-facebook-fans/story-e6frfhb6-1226377548245

Most of my stuff is internal communications as well. The stuff I can post on Vimeo is usually external or broadcast, which narrows what I can throw out there for viewing.

I’ve done a lot of fun stuff in AE I’d like to share on the AE forum at times but it’s all “top secret.” 🙂

I find it frustrating that even in the corporate world everyone is shooting HD and we’re all editing these nice meeting presentations and such in HD, and yet, at the big extravaganza or what not, they present it from a widescreen DVD. WTH? Seems like someone is dropping the ball there. I can easily burn an AVCHD DVD and it looks great. People keep telling us the staging companies, or the hotel, or whoever only has a regular DVD player, not a blu-ray. I find that ridiculous and I think next time I’m going to burn a blu-ray or AVCHD and tape it to a freakin $60 blu ray player and give it to them.

[Dave Gage] “I saw the first “Kick-Off” video a couple of days from your reply to my post, so it was fun to see this “sequel” video. Were the blue-white right to left moving numbers done in AE? Is the orange/blue/green split screens at the end also done in AE?”

Yes in AE. Sorry I missed that question earlier. Cox already had some print material for the campaign so colors and fonts and basic message were already kinda there. Just had to animate and adapt and add video.

Awesome to see other people’s work in here, I especially liked Michael’s record store doc: https://vimeo.com/35334800

I’ve been using X for personal projects since 10.0.0, now I start all new projects in it.

[Oliver Peters] “You might want to start on the last page and work your way forward. The oldest page has some of my demo reels, including some of the long-form stuff (features, etc.).”
Will do. The weekend got lost to the kids, but I should have more time this week and weekend.

[Oliver Peters] “Clearly you get every bit of quality out of the image, but in general, most TV spots go for a more punchy and saturated look than a feature or documentary.”
Makes perfect sense.

[Oliver Peters] “If you are very interested in grading, here’s a link to the blog posts I’ve done specifically discussing color correction/grading with various tools:
https://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/category/color-grading/“
Thanks, I will take a look this week also. I don’t need much in the way of grading for what I do, but it’s interesting stuff.

Thanks again,
Dave

I’ve found that once you get the hang of it, the combination of the Color Board plus Irudas Tonalizer VFX do a great job of grading.

[Mark Dobson] “I both shoot and edit the films my company makes, working with a producer / journalist, and for me FCPX and Motion do everything I need. the only part of Final Cut Studio I still use is DVD Studio Pro, and that is very infrequent because as Apple have correctly predicted nearly all end delivery is now file based.”
I really like the composited map effect on the 3rd video. Did the map have a background you were able to key out for the overlay?

Thanks,
Dave

Mark,

Somehow I ended up with the wrong quote in my last reply. I was actually replying to:

“The first 3 items on my vimeo link were produced in FCPX and one thing I am particularly impressed with is the ability to create fairly complex composite graphic sequences with comparative ease.”
