ok, what you may want to do in the future is shoot 24pn, this will literaly eliminate the extra 6fps and save you room not only on your HD but more importantly your p2 device. (be it cars or something else)
just an fyi

tbh, december may be a little soon. I wouldn’t really think about updating until feb 1st if not later. By then most products will not only have updates bringing them to leopard, but a second or third update fixing the bugs that the initial update had.

yea mocha ae is like 300 bucks, and would do this job like it was cake…it would still take a huuuuge amount of time don’t get me wrong, but it wouldn’t be as horrid. I would say what steve said, about tracking, that you can’t go and let it track, doesn’t work like that.
I’ve left mocha tracking and got lunch, thats how much i trust it…

don’t get me wrong there are a lot of troublesome jobs that just don’t seem like doing.
thats not to say this one was better or worse
but this is an exemplar case of something that is doable but just would be so intensive, it wouldn’t be worth doing and wasting hours upon hours of time on.

[zygotesoup] “Not to mention, this is not a class of college students sitting in their desks, it is a class full of kintergardners running around all over the place.
“alright, I’m so against wanting to do this, I might not even post, so you wont do it….
no seriously if he is willing to shell out doughfor something like mocha (or the cheaper mocha ae)you could set up all your tracks at once and do this like that, expect about 4-5 hours of track time minimum. (probably alot more)
when we say loose the track, if it’s ‘lost’ it’s rare it will come back into tracking.
when we say lost we mean this- when tracking a tracker is trying to repeatedly find a set of pixels that match a defined range of luma/chroma/ values in a similar pattern to the frame before. with fast moving objects tracks are lost much easier as the subject is subjected to motion blur (excuse the pun) as well as you than have to bump the defined search range up to a much higher size creating more lag and slow down as the program trys to keep up with searching from a set of maybe 64 pixels, to 256 pixels.
hope this makes sense

well, heres what you would do, if you were A) suicidal B) getting payed enough
1) go to workspaces->motion tracking
2) select the footage
3) add your first motion tracker, and track
4) once done, apply track to a null or solid, or some way to save the data in a more organized fashion.
5) go to the tracker controls and add a ‘new’ track. you can do this is several ways, by using the tracker drop down menu on the panel, or simply hitting new.
6) repeat step 3-4 and repeat 5-6 as many times as neededthis will take a LONG time

walter, give you self a kick, go download virtuedesktops on a tiger machine. It’s the most recent source spaces was stolen from. It was halted from beta do to the announcement of leopard.
it wokrs a bit better (not as smooth) than spaces imo. especially being able to make my slide command ctrl shft tab…way way better.
I have leopard on my edit machine on a spare drive to dick with stuff. Mocha works suprisingly well on leopard sans update…then again it work really well before.
ae works..well not as good as 7 did on an intel, but not horrid…kinda…still runs i guess

[JeremyG] “Hitachi has 5400RPM 250 Gig drives FWIW. “
ok, now i’m jealous…

[JeremyG] “I always run out of space. I wish I could have 1TB in MBP. I have a 250 and it’s a constant shuffle of data to keep it clean. Considering that FCS2 alone is about 30 Gigs worth of stuff (if you choose to install it all) you run out of 250 Gigs fast. Add to that CS3, media and other stuff, 250 Gigs seems like it should be the size of a jump drive.

ok, have you ever looked at all the stuff you are installing?
Do you need pal dvd sp templates? how about hd templates? Do you really need the 12+ gigs from live type? how about all the sound fx and loops in soundtrack, or all the templates in motion? my fcs2 install has about ~10 gigs max on it…max
also, I ran all my work through a 12″ power book (typing on it now actually) with a 75 gig hdd…250 gigs would be a dream, if it werent like 4600 rpm…
