This may be the wrong forum for this question, but no thoughts, guys?

That’s a great idea. I think Andrew Kramer has a how-to on 3D photograph editing and I’m pretty sure I saw another tutorial on tutsplus.com as well.

Mike, that is a great link. Thanks for posting it. I should spend more time plowing through the Adobe site; I always seem to look elsewhere for answers first. LOL

Cheers,

I agree the premade CMSs are going to probably be your best jumping off point, but Fernando is right as well… unless you’re just designing a mockup in Photoshop, you gotta learn some code. I found WordPress pretty easy once I learned CSS.

Cheers!

Wow! Yes. Preferences > Media & Disk Cache > Write XMP data… I will attempt to recreate the error (!). Thanks for the reply, David.

Dave,

Thanks for taking the time to check those tests out. I guess I’m expecting too much from my 2006 MacPro1,1 and ATI Radeon 9800. Through the projector those all look horrifically jittery. For some reason it never occurred to me that the hardware couldn’t keep up.

I’ll see Charlie P. next month at GABF in Denver and I’ll be sure to let him know he is quoted not only in the homebrewing world, but also in the realm of compositing and motion graphics. 🙂

Cheers,
Charlie

Thanks for the replies, guys. I must be rendering incorrectly. If you get a chance, I’ve uploaded a group of very simple test renders at different frame rates & field settings:

Every one of them stutters. Can you tell what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks again,
Charlie

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I responded a day or two ago, but it seems to be stuck in moderation.

First of all, the important thing to note is: that is a homebrewed robust porter. Good eye.

The frame rate for all the clips involved is 23.976 – the others are live action. I’ve tried rendering out 23.976, 24, 29.97, 59.94, 60 and even changing the animation to move vertically instead of horizontally and I still see the stuttering and jitter.

The projector is connected via DVI @ 1280×720, 60hz.

If there is an ideal speed for motion graphics how to do I find it?

Thanks guys,
Charlie
