is there any reason why i should not go with the fsb-8? as seen here https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/610342-REG/Sachtler_0772_0772_FSB_8_T...

most video i do is out of a suitcase in other countries. but it only adds like .7 pounds, and costs only $120 more. would this be the better choice?

I was going to get the FSB6 but got the FSB8 instead. I also got the single clamp carbon legs. It will not only hold more weight then the FSB6, it also has more levels of drag control and an illuminated bubble, which I find very useful. I had been using a Manfrotto 503, extremely difficult to get smooth pans with that, the Sachtler is in a whole other league. hth

I’ve been having the same problem with a 2.66 Dual Core, OS 10.5.5 and AE CS3. It’s not crashing, but taking forever to shut down. I haven’t been able to determine the cause.

Particular needs to be applied to a 2D layer. It’s not true 3D. If you have a 3D layer above the particle layer in the timeline it will block your view of the particles, just as it would block your view of any 2D layer below it.

In Photoshop try Image> Adjustments> Match Color. Might do the trick.

Thanks for responding Simon-

(1) photographing someone on a greenscreen then keying out the background.

I’m with you on that.

(2) applying the tint effect to the person layer, and maybe up the contrast, to get the B&W look.

More or less. OK.

(3) putting a white solid behind the person layer, precomposing both layers, then using the pen tool to draw a rough mask around the person.

Instead of drawing a mask I was thinking just expand the matte.

(4) adding a drop shadow to the layer to make it stand away from the background.
(5) adding cc page turn and animating the fold position to curl the person over.

Do you think they worked with video files or image sequences on this?

Pond5 has a lot of HD stuff as well.
