Thanks! I have seen the Element and thought it looked cool. I think the crane folds up and is about 7-8 feet long or so.

Anyone know if that “boxy” Scion have functional space?

Thanks for the warning. It would really all come down to finding the right person to do that AND of course tons of testing before hand.. the wedding would be summer 2012 so I would have time to test it out. I am on the same page as you Sohrab and I wouldn’t want to crimp my style trying something I may never do again. But if the solution turns up to be a simple one, I find the right person to operate it and my client understands the level of quality will not be all that… I may consider it. I am going to email the client and tell her that she may want to hire a webcasting company if she wants it done right.. but if she is OK with a MacGuyver job she can give me some time to do some testing 🙂
Regardless I am going to try to get her to hire us for the actual wedding video.

Thanks Rafael. With my last comment I wouldn’t be moving around, I would have someone tethered to a computer in one place and they would do pans to follow the action and maybe some zooms. If I can get the technology in that tutorial to work I would think it should work?

I have another thought. I suppose if I was tethered to a computer I could broadcast the footage. I was thinking I could offer them the option that we do the wedding like we normally would, then we would have another person dedicated to have a DSLR in a location close to the action… maybe with a good zoom lens and plugged into a Macbook. We could set-up up like this tutorial suggest, which I have actually done with Skype and it worked great: https://blog.planet5d.com/2010/06/using-a-canon-hdslr-5d-mark-ii-as-a-webcam-for-skype-or-ustream/

Assuming I would be able to do that and use ustream.com to broadcast it.

Then they would get a great final product PLUS the live stream of the ceremony.

Any thoughts? Anyone done that?

Thanks Shane. I kinda figured it would be a hard thing to do, part of me is relieved! If it was possible I would think it would be a headache.. but maybe a fun challenge.

February 8, 2011 at 1:49 am in reply to: Artifacts on export and grey render bar

Thanks John, well you did get my mind thinking. I changed the Render Control to ProRes and it didn’t help. Then I actually exported it to ProRes and that got rid of it… took like 10 times as long, but it worked.

I am still curious if anyone has any thoughts as to why this is happening. I really don’t want to change my workflow and start exporting to ProRes, I just don’t have the time or storage for that.

Any other thoughts as to dealing with the dreaded grey render line?

Thanks Stephen! I had no idea, that may open up some pretty cool doors of possibility!

Merry Christmas!

Thanks Reid! That is looks like it could work with a lot of work (noob to Motion).

I am curious if anyone else has idea’s. Last night I did keyframe the 8-pt garbage Matte to give it a go and it was close but I couldn’t get it to be accurate with the edges in the pillar.

This should be in a separate post but does anyone know if there is something more accurate and flexible then an 8-pt garbage matte? I would love to find something like the selection tool in Photoshop.. maybe I am dreaming (something for the next version of FCP 🙂

Your example is not playing for me? Can you check your link.

I have the new 27″ iMac (see specs in my sig) and I have been very happy with it. Not sure how my 2.8 i7 compares to yours, but iMacs are good. Just be sure you get your render & edit codecs in order to speed up rendering!
