In virtualdub there is a setting “uncompressed RGB/YCbCr”. Is this lossless? A 1:30 minute clip comes out over 5 gigs, but i can always delete it afterwards.
After rendering as XVID it seemed to be darker, so I had to brighten by 5. Does that uncompressed format change the colors? I thought it was copying frame by frame exactly what is on the screen.

May 7, 2007 at 6:39 pm in reply to: is there an easier way to blur/pixelate moving faces?Thats terrible… I can’t believe no one yet developed a track by hand plugin or external software.
Yes I’m using adjustment layers, thats what I meant to write. The reason I use many of them is because I have to constantly change from motion tracking to manual keyframing due to a chaotic street scene.
So for the first 10 seconds I can track, then some people block the view. At that point I stop motion tracking. Create a new adjustment layer. Fast forward to the point where the person’s face is again in view, and start doing manual keyframes, because now its impossible to track as they are bouncing in and out of the field of view.
The problem I’m having during motion track is when a pedestrian walks past my subject, I don’t know how to “turn off” the mask. So I just create another adjustment layer, zoom a bit forward, and begin tracking/keyframing from that new point.
On the clip I’m working on today there are 9 different layers because the scene is changing so erratically – heading bouncing in and out – people walking by – subject turning their head sideways – etc etc.

The trick was to uncheck “BMP sequence” when importing a .bmp file.
But either way, my logo’s white lettering 255 255 255 is coming out a dullish gray. In VirtualDub the same logo came out bright white just as it looked originally.
Any idea what would be causing this?

I went into preferences > import , and “length of composition” was already selected. Even after deleting and reloading it still did not work.
I went back and converted the .bmp to a .psd and now it imports with the correct duration.
When doing the .psd file import there was a choice to import as a “composition” rather than “footage”. I chose composition to see if it would make any difference. Now the logo was given a correct duration.
Will I be forced now to convert everything to .psd files? I had everything BMPs because I was using virtual dub to add logos before.
