    I got it to work using a hinge connector in the middle of my paddle. When other objects run into paddles, they turn as expected.

    How do you prevent the gears from taking on gravity when they collide? I can’t figure out the correct procedure for isolating the rotation and preventing all other movement. Thank you in advance.

    I agree that the Neat Video plugin does a good job.
    Just as a reminder, like most new equipment, you will need to play with it a little to get good results.
    Also note, renders are very slow even with a fast machine.

    I suggest 2 possible approaches:

    1. Render the full clips you want to use, reimport them, and then re-edit them into the timeline.
    this will alleviate having to re-render every time you make a change to that footage’s edit.
    (faster final output render)

    -or-

    2. render the footage after everything has been edited.
    (longer final output render)

  • The audio setting has to be switched to get it to work.
    However, based on my previous experience with BetaSP machines and Final Cut Pro, I would try switching the audio mapping to the even number of audio output tracks that you have in your timeline.
    So if you are using 3-4 audio outputs, switch the setting to 4.
    Let me know if it works.

    September 7, 2011 at 2:36 am in reply to: Add closed captioning files to sequence in FCP7?

    I have been out of the analog video world for awhile, so I would like to refresh my memory regarding blanking and closed captioning (some could say I’m blanking on blanking).

    Does blanking surpress the transfer of CC?

    If I am exporting a FCP sequence with line 21 already embedded in the quicktime video, then is there a setting I need to enable/disable to allow the output of the CC?

    Thank you in advance for your insights,
    MC

    Just so you know, they don’t really exist.
    Anyone selling you 5.1 headphones is really selling you a phase cancellation network that fakes the sound.
    Those kinds of headphones are not reliable for mixing surround sound.
    If you are doing any serious mixing, you need a real 5.1 setup.
    If you have limited funds, you can get close with a properly set up, home surround sound system.
    If you can afford it, your best choice is a recording studio that is set up to mix 5.1.
    Good luck.

    You could do it with Photoshop and Final Cut Pro, but this is dependent on your skills.
    Depends on your budget, time frame and how much you wanna learn or experience.

    You’ll want After Effects.
    But be warned, there is a large learning curve if you have never used the program or have little experience with key framing.
    If you insist on doing it on your own and need help, I would suggest checking out Lynda.com.

    They did one of 2 things:

    1. They used a green screen and put the two together later

    -or-

    2. They used Photoshop to separate the two people in the foreground and enhanced the look by making a really nice spray. Then they zoomed out on them as a foreground as the also zoomed out on the back ground. The trick is to zoom out slower on the foreground compared to the background and have the final resting place of the images to be set and the end first and work backward for keyframe timing.
    The second one might be the more probable of the two.
