I think, for the first time in my life, size is not a problem. My one monitor is a crt 21” and the second is a crt 19″. I do not have a client monitor yet but that will be a near future purchase.

Dave,
I find it much more satiisfying to blame things that can’t defend themselves.
….. i am embarrassed…..
I will go to the site and check it out. Thanks for the tip, on the toot.
But I still think I need to set up miy monitors though. The keyed video look fine on my monitors and not so good on 2 brand new, calibrated, monitors.
I have done some more research into calibrating and it’s way more complicated than I thought it would be. There are things out there that make it easier but I am still looking for a way to so it cheap or free, but accurately.
Thanks

Can you shoot against a green screen? If you have a portable one (12′ x12′) you should be able to do it quite easily. That way you can have the same lighting conditions , if you plan on shooting on location. Just make sure to shoot a good background plate.
We did some location shooting with a green screen, my first time, just recently. It turned out fine. Just make sure that if it’s out side that you try to shoot the elements as close together as you can, in time i mean. You want to keep a consistant light. Don’t shoot one element with cloud and the other no clouds. Try and pick one or the other.
When compositing, motion blur will help go along ways in selling it. and just keyframing the motion of the talent out.
I agree with the time saver though, if they would just agree to get hit it would save you tonnes of time.

hi Steve,
I did try all of that, the funny thing is that it never showed on my layer that I had an effect on it . It looked like the layer was clean but the effect was obviously going on and it had keyframes as well but they didn’t show up on the timeline.
I quit for the day and opened the project today and everything was back to normal. Thanks for your help though!

I was just playing with the automate function in Photoshop under file>Automate>Contactsheet II.
I think this will give you what you need. All you have to do is tell it where the file is that holds all of the photos then determine how many columns and rows you want then it goes ahead and does it. I am using Photoshop 7.0
Hope this helps

There are freeware programs out there that will do this in a way for you. Aya does have links to them in his tutorial. They do work based on supplying a picture for it to make a mosaic out of. You could supply it a varied colored background that you create yourself and that way it will create a mosaic based on the colored background in stead of a face. Using colors will just give you a nice spread of pictures.

Hey Thanks Elvis, If this looks good when I’m done I think I will be able to convince my company to buy this software. The demo is awsome!!

Did you use the text tool or choose the text from the effects menu? Are you talking about the text preset effects or other filters?
