January 8, 2006 at 11:38 pm in reply to: Pro Animator Motion Blur has yellow edge?

Hi Jon,

Here are the settings I am using in the project…

Background is set to black with alpha turned on. Motion blur is set at 4 passes and AntiAliasing is set to 3×3. Render is set to full frame and res is 720×486 with D1 pixels. I have tried various adjustments to these settings but still get the yellow edge.

If I take the motion blur off the yellow goes away. Image below is with no motion blur.

Thanks again for your help,

Mike

I have to add a thanks as well. I have been experiencing the same thing but have been to busy to trouble shoot it. Ahhh, sometime when lurking you happen to stumble onto gold nuggets 🙂

Hi Jon,

There was a reflection map on it, great idea by the way, so I did another test on text that has no surfaces applied to it. In addition this was rendered on a completly diferent system as I am home from my studio now.

Lighting is the default 3 lights however I changed the collor on all of them to white.

This is really strange that I am seeing it on 2 systems but you are not seeing it on your end.

Hey Jon,

I am using ver 3.0.2 here is an image I just rendered of it. You can see a yellow edge on the text. This is rendered full frame with alpha, but it also shows up in field renders with no alpha.

Thanks for the quick response!,

Mike

Well, if you can work some type of story line into the footage you have that would be step one. If not, which is probably the case, I would start by thinking minimally when it comes to effects. Fish eyes, cube transitions, page turns and all the rest of that kind of video regurgitation can draw away from your messaging. And as Bob said, may get you fired.

Speaking of messaging that would be another good place to start. Does your client have any messaging they want to tie into this? Maybe some one word copy that can be CG’ed in an interesting way. Things like Elegance, Comfort, Style etc… Try to move them away from the lines of corporate speak that many client will try to hand you. There is no way to put CG that talks about “Positive proof points” and “Good value propositions” into a piece and make it work.

I would look at the pacing of the footage and see if it works in different sections of the music that are higher or lower energy. Maybe some motion effects to slow the footage down during lower paced sections of the tune.

Color effects… maybe a color wash or a drop in the chroma for some of it.

Graphic elements… can you tie in logos to the footage? Maybe a graphic overlay that works with the color pallet of the clients logo?

Again I think the key here is to think minimal. Let the footage sell the product, you are just enhancing it a small amount to make it more interesting.

Good luck with the cut,

Mike

As far as I know there is no way to do this currently. The closest I have come so far is using Widows Media Files with window burns for approvals. Be careful what you wish for though, if this technology hits we may be in same boat as many IT professionals. You may be looking for a new line of work while some cat in Bombay is editing away at bargain basement rates.

I don’t know about the DNA level Avids but the Meridien Avids will not. I use Cinematize to convert to Avid compressed Quicktimes and then import.

Hey Richard,

The only way to do things like the transfer layers that you are describing in the Avid is with plugins. Boris will do transfer layers if you have that. The other option is to go to After Effects or Combustion for this type of work. As for me I do the later of the two. I find that AE and Combustion both have much better interfaces to create motion graphics and heavy composites in.
