That interface totally like screams the 90s, and the fact that it has tracks, oh my. Tracks are like so totally last century. A loony mushroom be those tracks. They bark clutter. Much prefer disorganized keyframe graph, something to look at.

Alright, here is how I describe stuff:

1. Library — Name of show, feature or commercial
2. Events — Bins which will be based on scene, not just just scene number but a brief description of scene as well
3. Project — Spot, reel or part of show. Example would be, night at the diner

Keywords are exactly that, smart collections used to find clips faster and easier.

Now, my head will stop spinning.

Back to other things like watching Jerry Springer, a great show. 😉

Great article and before we know it college graduates will be at home with their parents living in the basement setting up their own studio. Party time, excellent! 😉

Still scratching my head still trying to figure why Apple decided to throw me in a state of confusion. So much, that I might have switch over to Resolve, at least their language makes sense. Darn if Apple did not to put a lump of pebbles in my shoe. I now feel like a dinosaur. Ugh!

Tim, as always thanks for posting! Also, thank you for posting the link to the article. Read the comments and came across the name of the company the owner of the store mentioned. I wish I had taken a picture of that Bolex camera to share. I was told some of the lenses on that camera were valued at least $100 in U.S. Dollars, the asking price for the camera was just slightly over the cost of just one lens!

As far as the price of a Bolex H16 camera on eBay, the asking price does vary widely from one seller to another. Some were priced around $70 but not sure of working condition. Others were priced around $1000, but most were priced somewhere in the middle. A few H8 variety were listed.

Not sure when the dark room classes will start but very interested in attending.

On a side note, someone was using one of those instant film cameras at a birthday party in the restaurant we were eating at. Prints were a bit smaller then what came out of the original Polaroid camera. Was interesting to that in action. Ferrania is making even the standard 8mm film.

Interesting to see young people interested in film. In fact some college age kids were interested in a 16mm projector I was going to sell it but decided to keep it.

Interesting that Charlie brought this up. I was in a camera store in the Dallas area the other day. The owner mentioned there is an Italian company, don’t remember the name that is making motion picture film. It is one of those kick starter companies but it is nice to know film is making a bit of a comeback. Even got to look at a Bolex 8mm, not Super 8, camera. From the year 1954, great condition and a bit heavier than I thought it would be, not much. That baby was built like a tank! The owner said he will have classes soon on dark room stuff. Will attend and perhaps post a blog here on it.

Just purchased a H16 recently.

I would recommend giving Red Giant Universe a try. Tons of great stuff even should you decide to go with the free membership. I am also going to check out some of the stuff Bret mentioned.

Thanks for posting. I have FCS 3 Studio lying around somewhere. Might set up two partitions, Mavericks on one with Yosemite on the other. I will keep X on Yosemte side, to have that glorious 3D text, install old school on Mavericks partition.

Where should I save any project files to?

My biggest beef with After Effects is having to use RAM previews and the occasional long render time. Curious to see how Fusion stacks up. Of course, I prefer expressions over parameters on occasion. As they saying goes about having cake and eating it.

I take it Motion will work on Yosemite?
