Hi Mylenium
I switched to Adaptive Res, even Off, yet i still can not view my 3D scene with lights when in 16bit mode.
Anyone else with any thoughts

Hi Dave
No Im not. Im using just regular colour effects, like the levels, curves, hue/sat, blur, and blending modes.
I just don’t understand how noise is introduced.
The original looks clean (without noise), however it has been pointed out that QT Animation is only 8 bit. So maybe i have to look at higher bit codecs like Microcosm

Hey guys
ITs definately noise, because i can see it when i ram preview out of AE. The faces on the talent, their clothes are all noisey and looks cheap.
My matt key is fine when coming out of keylight too. No grey areas.
Cheers

Hi Alex
Thank you so much for your advice. It has saved me alot of time.
I currently run a small business producing DVDs and have done for over 4 yrs now. I am and my business is ready to move into a higher end auhtoring package to keep up with the advanced requests that are coming through, and hope to migrate to Scenarist one day. Furthermore, i want something that is rock solid.
I enjoy the interface of Encore and how it interacts with other apps, but Im just fed up, and i have read many others are two, of little bugs in it, that can make my life hell, and damage my businesses reputation. We have just won a contract with a company to produce their DVD every town months (which was the dual layer project i mentioned in the above post) and i looked pretty silly. We went into damage control to keep the contract, and i have 1 month to learn a new app.
Unfortunately, im not a Mac person and wouldn’t want to learn a new OS aswell as an app.
DVDLab looks the goods then, unless there are others on the market that i am not aware of. However, being a fairly new app, wonder how many bugs are in it. I will need DLT support aswell, and will have to look into Gear’s software.
Cheers Alex

Hi Alex
Im not too familiar with DVDit…and iwould say that was my own fault as i was looking at more expensive software with more capablilities.
I have Encore and use it quite ofter, however i used it on a very large dual layered project and it was a nightmare. Linking to buttons using the Propeties window (specifiy other command) proved to be its biggest down fall, as it would link to incorrect buttons. The job took longer than expected to complete, and made me look silly.
Anyway…..im looking to get away from encore and had looked at DVD Lab. It looks the goods (however i have not downloaded a demo yet), but its user interface looks complicated.
I had heard producer was on par with it, and having reel DVD already thought that a more expensive product would be more reliable and in the end, easier to get jobs with, rather than software that is around a few hundres dollars.
I will look into what you have said though and look for a demo.
Cheers

Sorry Bob, i seemed to miss the bit where you captured the footage.
Was it off a Digi Beta or off an digital audio tape?
Cheers

Hey guys
i really need some advice on this….
how can i take advantage of the fast import with this setting. I have used the 3:1 interlaced export setting and that took advantage of the fast import, but when i have used the 3:1 progressive in the same project, it doesn’t work.
What can i be doing wrong?
I dont know much about Avid, but all my work ends up being imported into one, and the compression time is taking too long when i import.
Thanks for your time
Chris
