I’m glad my question opened some helpful dialogue. The lightbreaks are found at: https://www.lightbreak.com/ Had a shoot a few weeks ago out of state where had to get 25 shots in 5 different buildings in two days, including testimonials. My client’s client wouldn’t increase the budget so that we could do it right…so there wasn’t time to experiment with lighting and in some cases, we settled…but that’s a different topic.

Pardon the intrusion, but is this the same John Felt that use to be a tech on the Trinity forum?

Was just telling you what I had and making conversation…not that it was the better way.

Actually I have a great product, might be called “light breaks”, they are acetate with black printed patterns on them such as trees, window pane, random… you attach with the included frame to a C stand and shine a light through it. It’s great, as long as you have a decent background to start with. Thanks.

Thank you for the replies. Since the new ID channel, which is mostly crime solving shows has come on the “air”, I’ve seen them a lot. Whenever possible, I always try to use “real” backgrounds that represent the on camera persons position or career, but that’s not always possible and not every location you go on is camera ready. So it’s nice to have an alternate and I prefer the pleated look to the wrinkled look. A photographer friend of mine saw an online study that showed that most clients do not like the Muslin wrinkled.
I did a photo shoot last week and steamed out the wrinkles, as the background had a beautiful soft pattern and the camera really picked it up. When I do use backdrops, I use egg crates on my talent to keep the light off the background and light it separately. Thanks for the setup tutorial. So what does everyone else use when the only location you have is the back of a warehouse?

I assume the analogy you are trying to get across is that each one is unique and I should just experiment. I agree, but there is a certain style that I saw and liked and wondered if anyone knew how to get there quickly. I realize there is no right and wrong. Thanks.

Not everyone has Cineform, that could change things. The issue with me, is that it worked in October, then the same project would not transcode a few months later. I thought it was my machine until I started reading other posts. I do have Matrox on my machine, but no other Matrox users reported this. I also change the 3gb switch settings, but haven’t tried it yet. One user said that after changing the 3gb switch he had no more issues in Encore. I’ll let you know over the weekend. Of course if you don’t use the 3gb switch, then the common denominator is missing.

I’ve rebuilt my project at least 5 times on two different computers, the very first time it worked and the 6th time it worked. All I did was hit “burn disc” each time. Major transcoding issues both on my assets and motion menus and even animated thumbnail page had errors. This never happened to me on version 1 or 2.

I get the same error message when transcoding or rendering motion menus

Thank you Bill, Sorry…I should’ve replied sooner. I took Greg’s advice right away and shipped my sony field monitor to the location of my shoot. Thank you for taking the time to follow-up…I appreciate it.
