I have some 3d extruded characters (numbers) that I want to appear from a distance from different orientations coming to rest in
front of the camera. The issue I’m having is that when I ease the Z
axis so they come to a gentle stop, the characters start to curve out of
the frame. I can’t wrap my brain around how to maintain linear motion

Thanks Michael. The specs on audio are confusing. Do you know if I export a stereo audio mix as a single interleaved file, or separate L/R channels for these services? The terminology they used seems to leave a lot to interpretation.

I’m hoping someone here has either the knowledge or a resource for me to
know what my audio export settings would be for a short film that is
going to be uploaded to Amazon Prime. This is my first time prepping
for a streaming service so I’m going in cold. There are no specs on
Prime’s guidelines for audio such as loudness or peak. Only for…

Thanks! I pretty much did that, but I had several different time lines for different scenes so it took a little while. Playback is so much better now though!

Yes, I watched this and I was able to use the last method. Just hoping I wouldn’t need to recreate all my bins, but I considering what my mistake, that’s not too big a deal.. Thanks for your reply.

I was finished some projects in 30fps and mistakenly started a new
project without switching to 24fps. The new project has mixed frame
rates, but is primarily 24fps, so that is what I want it to be. I got
many hours into this before realizing my mistake. In master settings, I
can change the playback frame rate, but not the project frame…

I have done a few short films but each time I have done all the effects and color myself. With the possibility that a project comes along where I get to focus on just the edit, I’m wondering how a project gets color correction/grading if there are effects/compositing that need to be done? In particular, I’m addressing the idea that raw/log…

I am trying to do something I can’t quite figure out in Resolve: I want
to be able to move an object (a .png image in this case) up the screen
and have it disappear behind a mask. I can create the mask but it moves
WITH the object. How do I make it so the mask obscures the object and
stays stationary? Probably easy, but I can’t figure it…

Thanks Mark! That is good info.

Total noob lighting question: I am shooting a podcast in a small space where the a wall opposite the subject and one on the side are floor to ceiling windows to natural sunlight. If I measure the natural light coming in the room as 5000K and set the spots and fill lighting to 5000K, then can I set the white balance on my camera to 5000K and be…

I’m using the latest version of Premiere (and Media Encoder) that has the “Export” tab on the top left of the interface. The resulting file is wildly different than what is in my timeline. I don’t mean the “washed out” look that is resolved with that export LUT in the Effects tab, I mean the colors are just all over the place wrong. Is there a…

Since Big Sur, playback on Quicktime goes out of sync while VLC player is fine. Anyone find a reason?
