Thanks. Maybe I looked at it too much.

THanks for the info. Yeah, I think in future that I need to look for the less artsy shot and do some fake DoF effects in post.

To answer your question, the final shot is a mixture of 3D camera track (detailing the settings of FoV etc) and plain old motion tracking with some manual adjustments. Oh well, the client was happy enough with the results, but I would like to do better next time.

Hi Shawn

Thank you so much for all your tips and advice. I will try and convince my boss to invest in a subscription to American Cinematographers at the very least.

I know a colleague has some different lights to us, so may go and have a go with his and ours to see what happens!

Many thanks again

Joe

Hi Shawn. Yeah, I thought lights would would be a big part of it. We don’t have great lights. We have LED light panels (2 of these and 3 spotlight versions – https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1012483-REG/litepanels_903_1063_1_x_1_ls.html).

We don’t really have anything to diffuse the lights. We have reflectors, but the light then doesn’t go through anything.

What kind of lights and diffusion do you use/recommend please?

Ok, thanks. I’m not sure I get it, but that’s my issue – I’ll work it out.

It’s great to know what the principals of the footage are tho. Cheers.

Hi Chris

Thanks for your reply. It’s really useful to know. Would you please mind explaining a little more about what you mean when you said “matte tint reds as pink and tint shadows”.

Many thanks

I believe it was another user, not an Adobe employee.

I have also trimmed (smaller) AVCHD projects. To be honest, I only ever checked that all the files were there and in the sequence – never watched the full sequence of a trimmed project all the way through. Should probably do that…!

hi Tim,

Yeah, this isn’t the first issue we’ve had with file handling from the camera – It will occasionally not join ‘bridged’ clips.

The error is that certain files will always copy and certain files will always not. It’s about 50/50 in terms of what does and doesn’t. For the files that copy they are ‘complete’ in their respective sequence.

The response I got from the Adobe forums was that the Project Manager shouldn’t really be used with AVCHD projects as it doesn’t copy the complete File/Folder structure that is required for the AVCHD files to function properly.

Grrr!
