Great tutorial. ” The actual rotation animation part of this is surely really simple though, isn’t it? ”

I’m trying to follow along, after using the camera and grid to help align my rectangle/outline (to round the edges) I still need to use the distort tool to make things look right. All is fine until I try to rotate the rectangle. I’m not even close. Any chance of you finishing your tutorial. Would you say that Gareth used a Photoshop file to fill in the license plate ?

thanks in advance

Thank you Emily for responding, I thought I just got lost in the shuffle after a month.
I was trying to save the warp co-ordinate like you would a style, custom shape or brush.
Something to be saved without needing a layer from an old file. Someone from another forum
said you can’t do that with warps.
I liked the idea about using the liquify filter because you can save the mesh, but I thought that
filter only worked with straight lines, not curves of any sort, maybe I’m wrong, I haven’t tried it yet.
Your other idea works, like it did for me, but i guess the warp feature just doesn’t want to save a custom
warp.

thanks again

Thank you .

thanks,
I’m learning about read & write speeds, but right now they are just numbers to me.
I’ve got nothing to compair what a 20mb/s cards speed really means.

[Bruce Breidbart]

heading there right now.

thanks

” In either case, it’s essential to remove the pulldown from 24p 1080 footage and get it to a 23.976 (aka 23.98) frame rate”

Could you please explain why ?

thanks

Not surprisingly I’m still having problems.
I’ve selected – Method to Stablize. Borders to Zoom .Direction to Hor& Ver. I highlight Pos/Sca/Rot.
I add my track & let Analize to it’s business . After the tracker goes as dar as it can, I check it’s results
by playing back the shot. The result is my footage leaves screen left leaving me a lot of black.
I’m just trying to stablize a shaky panning shot,with no black along the sides or top, who thought it would be so difficult.

Thanks in advance

[Bruce Breidbart]

Can you explain a little more the slicing of the shot into parts ?

Thanks in advance

[Bruce Breidbart]

Thanks I’m going to watch it now, is there a different workflow for FCP6 ?

I can see how a new Lacie 320GB Rugged Triple Interface Portable Hard Drive 5200 rpm or an Lacie 500GB Rugged Triple Interface Portable Hard Drive 7200 could come in much handier for sending across the country to retreive the files.Unless you suggest another brand name.
But if you don’t mind explaining the process of getting the video files onto the hard drive without
importing them first , I can then relay this info down the line.

Thanks in-advance
