Absolutely. If there isn’t too much obscuring the wall then you should be able to get it in out of mocha within 5 minutes. It’s well worth a look and if have cs4 then you will already have it. Look on the imagineer website for tutorials

February 8, 2010 at 9:34 am in reply to: Importing a Photoshop animation into After EffectsDoes photoshop not have a quicktime or tif sequence export? Am on the train right now so can’t check. Alternatively, as it’s only 6 frames, why don’t you just save each frame separately and name them accordingly so ae will see them as a sequence?

If you look around the forums you’ll see several Matchmoving related posts that are in the wrong forum ie After Effects, Maya.

Probably because it being compressed like hell as a wmv. Export out as a .tif sequence, then you shouldn’t see any difference. Also your colour working space and the software you are using to play back your exports will make a difference to the appearence of the colours.

After Effects is a 32 bit application. Try a google search before writing a post.

I’m trying to get a matchmoving forum up here, at the moment without much luck.
What exactly do you mean by ‘can’t get the camera motion right?’ Does it look right in PFTrack but wrong in AE? Once you have tracked the camera successfully and imported to AE, then the Particular part should take care of itself.
Make sure you export locaters from PFTrack so you know the position of various objects in your scene so you can line up the emitter accurately.

Hi, I built a one of these a few weeks ago. I’m at home right now and the project is at work but I don’t mind sending it over to you on Monday. It’s all built around expressions so all you have to do is drop your album covers in their respective pre-comps and then move the slider left or right and everything will animate automatically.

You can…. If not then it sounds like the age old After Effects and windows clipboard problem although I haven’t actually noticed it myself since using CS4. Restart After Effects and it should work again.

Thanks Guy. I was hoping there might be a workaround other than the standard dissolve… I guess I’ll just have to turn the motion blur up nice and high to hide the transition!

Personally I would create the graphics in a 1024×567 (or 1050×576 – I think DVD SP still uses 1.422?) comp and export them as a 720×576 QT MOV using the animation codec. As far as fields go, that depends on the look you want. You can render from after effects with upper field first but I think this creates more of a “videoy” look which I don’t like. I usually render without fields and let the DVD authoring software split it into fields. I prefer this look even though it won’t be as smooth looking, I think it resembles film more. Hope this helps.
