I like it. Very creative use of no video to tell the story. While Arnie’s idea of 3D is good, I think that would add complexity beyond your time and budget. Using the camera in FCP and Motion get you halfway there and for a music video it will do. I am, however, not the final authority on the subject 🙂

I think “In the Blink of An Eye” by Walter Murch is the clearest written exposition I’ve read on this topic. Not every thing he says works all the time but is a good start.
For the last station ID I did I created a story of community involvement in 10 seconds by compositing. The ID music carries it along.

I’ve done most of my work in ProRes 422HQ and compared to smoke or fire(uncompressed HD in an antiquated hardware system I formerly used) the renders are much faster. They are dealing with a more complex codec than DVC Pro so the rendering is a bit longer but the finished quality is noticably better.

If you add four more audio tracks and 2 more video tracks you can drag the associated camera onto a different video track and the audio will go to the audio track associated with the video track. Video track one will have audio track 1&2. Video track two will have audio 3&4 and video track three will use audio track 5&6. Later you can consolidate the video tracks to one (or not – I output a QT movie of the finished product and put that to tape or DVD so I have no dropped frames). I’m sure there may be simpler ways but this works for me.

Double click the clip on the timeline sending it to the preview window.
Then right click on the preview window and select “make new master clip” (or similar – I’m on a PC right now) and it will save it to the source window. You also should be able to relink the media which will take you to the browser location where the clip came from.Del

I’d make clones of the wav files and then change the timecode on the cloned wav files to DF. There should be a utility somewhere to do this. Try relaying the cloned wavs after re-timecoding and see if that helps. If not, the answer lies somewhere else.

If it’s on an additional layer, turn the layer off. If it’s a guide, turn off the guides. If it magically appeared on an existing layer, there’s trouble in River City.

LOL Sounds like one of our salespeople. They don’t care what it is as long as it plays on their laptop and they can email it to the client.

It seems to me that if PS CS4 tifs or targas were fed to an AJA Kona or Blackmagic card the keyer should recognize the alpha and fill. How you would get them out of PS would have to be an export and that might create a problem when trying to change keys. I’m sure you could create an action for doing it, though.
Whether the I/O card is hooked to a laptop or desktop ought not to matter.
