If you have any kind of tracker points on the background you could stabilize the shot in After Effects.

I tried this but, what exactly should I be looking for?

June 24, 2008 at 6:53 pm in reply to: Intensity Pro & Premiere workflow suggestions

I figured out (with the help of the fine folks at BMD) a good solution to my workflow dilemma. In case anyone runs into the same scenario here it is…

I’m shooting tapeless with a JVC GY-HD110 camera & a DR-HD100 DTE recorder. Premiere CS3 (WindowsXP) & Intensity Pro card. I downloaded & installed Decklink drivers. This gave me all the codecs. I copied the codecs to another folder then uninstalled the Decklink drivers. Then I installed the Intensity drivers and copied the codecs (from the Decklink install) to my presets folder in Premiere. The Varicam motion JPEG HD720p 23.976fps setting works great with the JVC files (shot with the same parameters). No rendering required and I get playback through the HDMI to my HD monitor. All is well.

Tape Central also has it at the B&H price of 5195 but thats 195 over my limit. I think I’ll call them and see if I can wheel & deal…

I have to agree with Jim on this one. I hate to say anything bad about Media100 (I’ve made a pretty good living with mine over the years) but, I don’t think it can compete with Final Cut. In the end it all comes down to what you like to edit on and what you’re most proficient with. If that’s M100, then thats what you should use. Personally, I love using FCP. When I first started using it, it was like somebody untied my hands. 90% of what I used to go to After effects for, I do right inside Final Cut.

Thanks for the recipe. I gave it a try and with a lot of tweaking I got some pretty good results. I think I’m going to go ahead and get Shake though. I need to do this to a ton of shots (reality show) and to be able to send out the individual shots from the timeline in Final Cut and fix them with very little effort will more than pay for Shake. Plus, having another tool in my arsenal is always a good thing.

The smoothcam I used in Shake was on a VERY jittery piece of DV footage. It was following a subject through a zoom then a pan. I applied the smoothcam filter, set the range and scaled up the image to account for the smoothcam and the results were amazing. I haven’t been able to do this with AE other than in a static shot. I was wondering if anyone has a way to do this effectively through a zoom & pan?

I have a Decklink SP in my G4 Dual 1.42 and it works fine. I can even monitor HD material through it to my broadcast monitor. You’ll have to get a PCIe card when you upgrade to a Macpro. The only way to upgrade your IO from a G4 to a Macpro (without an expansion chassis) is to go with firewire.

Put the multiclip into a sequence. Double click the multiclip to load it into the viewer from the sequence. In the viewer click the middle button at the top and select ‘open’. Click on your sequence again to make it active. Play your sequence and select your angles from the viewer as it plays.
