The GoPro Hero Black Edition is $400 (I know $100 over what you asked) and can shoot 120 frames per second at 720p. downsides are memory space and it only has a wide angle lens.

I agree with you on a lot of what you have said Mark. The biggest problem I see with this beta site is that it is 100% customer facing. The way I see it Vidaao has two clients. The video customers and the “creatives” as they call it. The site only caries information that pertains to the video customer. I think that they need to more openly explain to the videographers and editors how the contracts and payments work. Do we get paid in each step of the process (which some of their literature not posted on the site suggests) and which parts of those processes are they? what are the requirements for getting paid? Must we meet all client changes at the quoted amount? Is it one round of changes, or some other system? There are a lot of questions that would have to be answered for me to really be able to consider them as an option.

Is your naming template set to current frame?

Yep there is. In the property that you are key framing next to the key frame button (the stopwatch)is a button that looks like a graph. hitting this button tells AE to include those key frames in your graph editor set. You then have to turn your graph editor set on by clicking the graph editor button on the top of your timeline next to the auto-key frames button. This will open up your key frame graphs in your timeline. Just change the curvature of the line between your key frames to adjust your ease.

I agree Walter it can create some blobby artifacts but it does also have a series of sliders that allow you to tweek the synthesized frames till they look good (not perfect, but good). It is not perfect by any means, but it could be a good solution as a correction for a one time mistake.

Hey I believe Andrew Kramer has a plug in for this exact situation. https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/frame_rate_converter/. It converts your frame rate to whatever you want it to be, but then adjusts the speed to the intended real time. Thank God for Andrew Kramer! Hope that helps.

I agree with John Particular is very nice for this, but I think you can also use CC particle world which comes with AE. Andrew Kramer has a nice tutorial on it.

First I just want to say thank you Ridley and Todd for taking the time to explain these features. I love every feature the creative cloud has to offer. When I first heard about the cloud I was super excited that updates would now come throughout the year. That I could have my hands on the latest and greatest, the day that it came out! My problem is the feature it lacks, I.E. a perpetual license of any sort. I get that there is a grace period and I get that you can pay for an app you really need for $20. But as a young videographer with tons of student loans to pay. $600 a year, nearly double an annual upgrade in the CS model if i remember correctly, is far too steep. The $300 to $400 dollar upgrade a year was a reasonable model for me. It was hard, but reasonable and worth always having the software there for me to practice new techniques and improve my craft. So what i’m saying is I understand why Adobe is doing it this way. It makes great sense for them, it just doesn’t make sense for me. If it were just me out there who felt this way then i would just say, “well that’s a bummer for me” and I’d have to be okay with it, but the fact is, it is not just me. There are a lot of people who cant swing this sort of cash only to have their tools disappear after a year and 99 days. I like Adobe and I think they make the best products out there, I am just sad that i wont get the privilege to continue being their customer anymore.

Did you take a look at your screen Position and Anchor Point key frames. It looks like a stray key frame rather than a glitch. It also doesn’t look like the problem is with the camera.
