    the XMP info is embedded in the clips itself, so the easiest way is to copy the clips to the other machine.

    January 5, 2019 at 1:25 pm in reply to: CSV with linebreaks for source text

    Hi Gary,
    I know NOTHING about AE expressions, but I do know (a bit) about coding.

    Try DuckDuckGoing for ‘escape CSV characters’

    Some characters have ‘meaning’ other than being text.
    Escaping is a way to let the environment know that the character in question is in fact a character, instead of a command or code or something. (eg, you put in another quote before the quote char, or something like that.)
    I bet with a search / replace of your CSV text you can fix this.

    No, you did not get Kalleheikki’s answer.
    You’re probably not allowed to without permission, so he will not do it to protect his good name.

    Now, since it is a very simple game and looks quite old, you probably get it for free if you ask for it.
    Or, it will probably play even if you loose your internet connection, so you ‘have’ it always, and it will be perfectly legal.

    Or hire a coder (like me) and have it re-done tailor made for a few hundred bucks or less.
    (Or learn how to code yourself, this is a perfect starting project.)

    You need to tell a bit more.
    Is your input 6K scaled down with lots of effects?

    Try divide and conquer. Take one clip, render out, remove some effects, try again. Then you will know where the pitfalls are.

    Also, do something ‘normal’, see if that works as expected. If not, something is wrong with your setup.

    [Neil Goodman] “Davinci is fun to poke at and pretend I know how to color correct but again – not going to probably ever required to use it for at at least the next 5 years if ever.”

    Resolve has some more advantages, it has an extreme good and fast tracker and unlimited masking / spot correction.
    So, if you have to do witness protection / blur out unwanted elements, it’s good for that alone. (Just render out individual spots.)
    And, also nice, whatever you do in stacking effects, you can clip something in one effect, then bring it back in the next one and nothing is lost. That’s plain brilliant.

    (I must admit, I don’t know how this compares to FCPX)

    A must have in your toolbox, even for one shot a month.

    An organisation that forces clueless people in this bizz that you have to educate for free so that in a few years you are out of job.
    It might be less frightening, it may only be that news gets more annoying than it is right now, think of 30 minutes of video that tell you nothing but will make your ears, eyes and nose bleed. (This site is moderated, so I leave it to that.)

    Nah, sorry, that was too harsh.
    I do agree on large amounts of what you’re saying, and you misinterpret what I call ‘hack’.
    But, you seem to live in a high end world and seem to forget what the majority of people have to face.
    Small example, our biggest newspaper does videos now, and even they do NOT shoot in log and have proper white balanced / lighted / recorded, they still are able to annoy me with a video that fails in every aspect of the craft.
    So, please, bear with me and do read what I write, and try to understand at least half of it.

    Again,
    Happy new year!

    Sure Mike, happiness / wealth / success / food / shelter, well, even health is a choice! And it all comes for free, without having to sacrifice one for the other.
    Just tap your heels three times, and it will all come trough.

    Happy new year!

    Mike,
    You win, no questions asked.
    Math over good shows, logic over entertainment. Arrogance over argument. (Trust me, on the last one it’s hard to beat me.)

    Ok, poor choice of words on my part when I wrote ‘made up’.
    But, it is a hack to fit dynamic range in a codec.
    What do you think, that codec developers don’t know about math? It’s a trade off, and a poor one when it is not needed. I’m not going into discussion about that. (And I’ve yet to see an A/B comparison where Log defeats normal shooting on average shots.)

    Now, if it were your money, would you spend your money on CC’ing or on good lightning?
    And that is just the image. Would you spend your money on a high end cam or on a good story?
    Would you spend your money on gorgeous images but no time to edit them?

    I prefer a good movie on VHS over a bad one in IMAX.

    Let’s agree to disagree.
