I would create a Duplicate of the Comp, then delete the elements I don’t need. Go into the Project area where your layers are, select the comp you want the layers from, then hit CTRL-D. This will make a perfect duplicate of your comp. Open it, then delete the layers you don’t want.

It looks as if this is a native file format on the Panasonic SV-AV100 SD Video Camera. Supposedly Quicktime Pro with a couple of codec additions will do the trick. See:

There’s a big discussion there, and there are a few solutions, although none that I’ve tried. Good luck!

I understand your interest in the craft. I’m a woodworker, and sometimes go out of my way to learn crafts which are less practiced (hand planing, for example). I took a look at Focal Press, and they seem to have stopped selling books on the traditional craft of cutting. I looked at Powells.com, which specializes in used and out of print books, and seem to have struck paydirt:

A couple of these might help you out. Bear in mind that cutting 35mm film is a hugely expensive endeavor, when you consider processing and transfer. I worked at an ad agency in the 70s that shot 16mm color, then transferred to 1″ videotape, and we couldn’t make money on a budget under 20 to 30 thousand. Now I work in Illustrator, Photoshop, 3D Studio, and After Effects, and I send stuff to air right from my computer. Good luck!

Grinner –
WHAT technology? I can build something that doesn’t work as promised! We have an Adrenaline that cost over 20K, and can’t do much more than cuts, doesn’t capture without a problem most of the time, and is as buggy as a summer day in Louisiana. Let’s hope someone comes along who recognizes there is a HUGE problem!

Heather –

Sometimes it’s easier to use practical effects to get the job done. I think it is probably easier to buy the time-lapse footage of a Hibiscus blooming than it would be to animate it, either in AE or in 3D.

Here’s a reference shot from YouTube, should you decide to take the difficult route:

Here’s a link to a guy who shot a Hibiscus himself – he might license it to you:

https://physicles.org/media/tl.html

Here’s one that you could license – it’s listed as stock photography – if the client is willing to take a real flower:

Otherwise you can use the above as reference footage. If you have Photoshop CS3, you can even hand paint your time-lapse using the footage in the background layer for reference. Good luck!

I notice that Autodesk has no such Weasleology in their annual report.

I have no experience with Globe Caster, but I did a search for you on the forum and came up with this:

https://globalstreams.com/support/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1481&highlight=clock+onair&sid=13c5f25ea4c938feb7019796567d8449

I hope it helps. Here’s the content of it:

The current time can be done by keeping the CG application open at the same time as Switcher, and in CG, right-click on the workspace, and choose Time Display. It’ll pull the time off the system clock, and as long as you keep it open in the CG application, it’ll continue to update. DON’T try saving out a project with this feature, and loading it into Switcher – the time won’t update.

If what you’re going for is the display of a sports play clock on screen, what we would often do is a live shot of the game clock cropped into the screen with a switcher wipe.
