    I think the 1080 even on the 5DMKii is for monitor only, it isn’t for outputting to file, although should be good to monitor scopes through OnLocation. But again, you’d need something to get the HDMI signal to your system for OnLocation to recognize. They are working on 7D Magic Lantern firmware….but it’ll probably be awhile before we see anything come out of that.

    To convert to 23.98 from 59.94 (60fps)… first copy the files to a separate folder on their own….

    if you’ve got Cinema Tools as part of Final Cut Studio, open that, look for Batch Conform under the file menu. Select the file with the copied H264’s (or converted 720p files), and then select the framerate to conform them to. Takes about 2 seconds a clip (not even). Changes the metadata on the clips in that file, then places them in a 24 fps conform file. Now they are all slowed by 50%.

    All good. I would imagine this would be a feature that Canon would offer in future models of camera, but I’m not sure something like that could/would be accomplished through firmware updates, it would probably be a future model of the camera.

    The 7D still doesn’t have full HD output live on the HDMI to use On Location in the way you would like to. As soon as a camera such as this does, it opens a whole realm of possibilities (such as 10bit 4:2:2 recording), but right now the HDMI is for playback only.

    Then just open a blank 720 or 1080 template in PS, copy-paste the whole image in, resize manually until you get to the absolute maximum closest possible point you want to be to the earth. Apply the transformations to the layer, then copy, create new document (shows dimensions of what you just copied) and paste into the new document, then use that in AE to apply CC Sphere to. I assume you can do this anyways, just making sure. 🙂

    The HD renders will be pretty slow, depending on your system. Don’t forget clouds (there are also Nasa cloud images of the earth you can pull from). You can either make them a separate CC Sphere comp on top of your original if you want them to move independantly (more render time) OR just marry them to the PS image.

    Import the audio as .aiff into Sountrack Pro, or do the whole Send thing…

    Highlight a section that ONLY has static, then go to Process > Noise Reduction > Set Noise Print.
    Then highlight the entire audio clip and select Process > Noise Reduction > Reduce Noise
    Play with these settings while previewing the file.

    Also, this sounds like it is mostly pops and clicks, so I would also use the Pops and Clicks filter under the Analysis tab at the bottom left. Check the box, click Analyze, then after it is finished hit Fix.

    Hope that helps,

    Yes I would think the project being nested would have something to do with it.

    Just export the clip alone as a self-contained, then re-import, edit in, and see if that fixes the problem.

    Heh, yes I’ve gotten that very same message. I usually scale the image down to a more manageable size in photoshop, then import into AE. You can probably scale down by 50% or so, and still get good results.

    Are you doing SD or HD?

    Is there a reason that smoothcam is being applied to the text?

    If you have Adobe After Effects you could download a Nasa Blue Marble image from Nasa’s site (below), use CC Sphere and have fun with that.

    I would suggest a summer image, probably not the largest .tiff file, but the largest .jpg one might do nicely, depending of course on how close you want to get to the earth. If you want to get closer to the earth, then either of the aforementioned programs should work nicely.
