Slow – better off jumping into bootcamp. Fine for a quick change, not great for full editorial.

Best,

Run font book and check that the fonts are validated – you might have some bad fonts in there. Nothing special about font installation, beyond restarting the app.

Nope not a bad idea.

What you want is called a ‘combo updater” and has everything rolled into one updater.

Write on – use an Image Mask – the shape that draws the text goes in there.

The shadow? you may have to build it as a separate element with the identical image mask, or build a 3d lighting system.

October 5, 2011 at 11:55 am in reply to: Identifying the motion effects used in an existing video?

It’s a live action plate – and a particle system (could be AE or motion). THe animator may be tracking the actors motions, or may be hand building the particle systems to make it look like they react to the actor.

The second swordsman was shot on green screen, and the used his alpha channel (like the iPod commercials) – along with some particle systems built around him.

October 5, 2011 at 11:51 am in reply to: Broadcast monitor, HDTV or computer display for monitoring?

Ben, doing this affordably is an ‘issue’ – and I’d argue that as a compromise – it’s ‘okay’ but not idea.

The broadcast monitor would have to be connected to either the matrox or another monitoring device (such as firewire)

Anything directly connected to the mac is in the wrong color mathematics for the display to be accurate.

Consumer devices can be tweaked – but their response/color temperature is wrong for monitoring.

IF it’s just to ‘show’ to students – yeah a big screen TV will be cheaper than an HD computer monitor – more bang for your dollar – but if you’re going to use the TV to share your computer display, I find that the large screen are difficult to read text.

Karen,

It sounds like you have the “show alpha” setting on in the viewer. There are three drop down menus at the top of the viewer, make sure “Show RGB” is checked.

I think you have your canvas set to ‘Show Alpha” – This is from the Canvas Drop down. If that doesn’t work, post a screen shot and we’ll take a look!

October 5, 2011 at 11:44 am in reply to: How can I convert .mov H.246 files to a codec final cut pro 7 can work with??

Shane gave you a great link – FCP7 doesn’t work with compressed footage well – there are established workflows using MPEGStreamclip, compressor (amongst others) to transcode to ProRes.
