Hi Kannan,
I have the same problem, on a macbook pro that used to run MC5.0.3.
Did you resolve this issue?

[Lupo Zin]

Thanks.
I did all that (I think). and didn’t see much improvement.
Apart from exporting through compressor and quicktime my new Mac Pro doesn’t show better performances than my two years old macbook pro.
Could you recommend me about a place I can learn more about this? I guess this disappointment comes from ignorance.

Thanks…
Sorry for my noobism but I didn’t really get that Pacifier installation. I do have pacifier but how do I install through it?
and also, how does it solve the one processor thing?

[Lupo Zin]

You are right. it just that it’ll involve more than one mask and getting so complicated. I was looking for an easy way out.
now my biggest problem is that motion will crash while exporting the replicator duplicates. I guess 6000 replicas duplicated 25 times for 2500 frames is too much to ask 🙁
thank you anyhow.

Well…
I was trying to replicate the snow particle bottom up to the whole screen with replicator, but the bottom up does nothing different than the others, so if I’m choosing random it ignores the bottom up… bummer.
Now I’m doing thin lines of randomly replicated snow flake using replicator and I am duplicating replicator and layering it bottom up to on the timeline… hooray…
the problem is that rendering 2500 frames not only takes a while but crashes after 30 minutes… why?!?!?
I’m running a mac pro 2xquad 2.26 with 8 gigs of ram…
HELP!!!
(Thank you)

[Lupo Zin]

Thanks,
That’s what I was trying before.
The director wants an uneven pile, and the mask thing does not allow me to do it. at least not in a smart way without creating more and more masks…
there must be something from the 3d composting softwares that can allow it in motion… or is there?

[Lupo Zin]

Thanks but I didn’t understand how this plugin can be useful for this purpose.

[Lupo Zin]

I found a solution for that… sort of.
When I have to choose inserts from a very long master clip I just put it in the same bin where I want to have these Inserts (subclips) and then I do the CMD+U rename it and all… when I’m finished I move the master clip back to where it belongs.

Hey,
Thanks again.
We’re Located in Tel-Aviv (Israel).
I was looking into marks like da-lite, reintek, and luminvision.
needless to say, we’re a fringe theater and have no money. these already made things are still expensive for us. thought someone might have a creative idea. we’re very much aspiring for that look.
maybe we can’t d.i.y this one… still open for ideas about rear projection transparent materials that can be applied to glass or polycarbons.
thanks no.4,
Lupo Zin.

hey,
Thanks for your response.
I forgot to say something very important that I think makes the scrim less attractive. we are going to use rear projection. and want to keep the “black” (or less luminous) parts of the video transparent. if I understand correctly scrim can’t do that.
thank again, and again,
Lupo Zin.
