I am in the same dilemma. What to do ?!!!!!!!! I really want to get a Sony Nex-fs100 but it is so expensive. One thing I’ve noticed is that the FS100 is straight up, a movie camera. I don’t think it can take still pictures, such as the dual role of the 5D. I thought about the 5D, but the knowing the fact that a Mark III will be out soon will irk me everyday.

A good cheaper option due out soon would be the Sony A77 and VG20.

In addition to what I am describing, some will give my attempt to import a file pop up box saying ” already exist in history, do you wish to reload it”, click yes, and nothing happens. I don’t understand.

The only cases where they will work and merge together is when the objects are brought over from the content browser. I guess it may pertain to properly setting up the content browser in folders. ???

Thanks for the response Adam. In regards to question 1, I’ll give another example. Lets say I am editing an exiting project called “Banana” that was brought in from a previous save. Fine. Ok, now I import another saved object called ” Orange ” ( by either the file>open or drag and drop to the object manager ), now the ” Banana ” disappears.

My goal is to combine those two projects and have them both selectable in the object module. C4D has the Banana project hidden somewhere and I don’t know how to retrieve it because if I decide to exit C4D, it will ask me if I want to save the Banana project. In addition, if I want load the Banana project again, C4D tells me that it is already ” loaded “.

So confusing. I am just missing something so rather simple in this process.

Thanks for the help folks. Looks like the way to go is to push the Z axis way back and further than the distance of the camera. Another is just to leave the background space in 2D. Any of these will do for me for now.

Thanks

First off, thanks guys for the help. Its aggravating because I feel that it is possible but I just don’t know how to navigate through it. I am almost there !!

Rotobrushing my still map gave me exactly what I wanted, an easy and intelligent way of outlining the map. There are two tabs on top of my viewers, one is called comp 1 and the other Layer 1, both are showing me the effect of clippings. The propagation and matte adjustments on the top left does not do anything when tweaking. It just seems like I am missing the next command.

I’ll play around with it some more and hope for the best. Otherwise, I’ll try other methods to clip a still image.

Thanks

I am bias but definitely love the Canon brand. Better lens and optics.
