I’ve gotten decent results with Denoiser within Premiere but never tried it out in Resolve. Are you on the studio version of Resolve? It has pretty nice noise removal capabilities built in.
I had a friend who recently had issues getting Denoiser AND Neat Video to work. I think it may have ended up being a graphics card issue or something along those lines.

If you’re in the latest version of Resolve,
In the Delivery tab, at the top left, there are several options (i.e. custom, 720p YouTube, 720p Vimeo) and a little after that is a Premiere Pro XML option. Which I believe exports your timeline like it normally would, but in addition also exports the XML to go with it.
Pretty sure the one on the Delivery page would respect the handles. Let me know if you still can’t see it and I can take a screen cap.

Another great way to hide everything in the window; use cmd+shift+”h” on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+”h” on Windows (I think…).
Press it again to toggle it back on.That will hide not just mask paths but everything else as well, outside the actual image you’re working with.
It’s probably one of my most used keyboard short cuts.Nathan Walters

Didn’t Kodak originally say the cost of the film would also cover its processing fees?

I would put each comic panel in its own composition. And then put them all together in the main comp which would be the actual pages and all the panels put together.
So for each panel, put all the elements of that panel in a composition. Make them all 3D layers and separate them in z-space. Then add subtle camera movements to add the parallax effect.
And then deal with getting the “darker” feel afterwards by color grading it all after; adding lots of contrast and probably desaturation. And in your choice of color palette.
You could use the puppet tool if you want to animate one of the layers in the composition. Depending on what you’re animating, but that’s really the best way to add subtle animations, like an arm moving, head movement, etc.
Someone should really finish that tutorial…

I’ve had the same issue with my BMPC. Still not sure of the definite answer. But basically it seems to be caused when pushing the camera too far with ISO, shutter, etc. I am no expert and may be incredibly wrong, but I think it has something to do with the sensor and the debayering process used in the cameras. I was able to clean it up in Resolve using some misc noise removal techniques. Basically it softened it out and made it disappear. So maybe try that in Premiere as well.

I would say Adobe After Effects is the software to do these kinds of animations. It’s definitely not easy though and takes a very solid foundation in motion graphics. I’ve done work like this for Coca-Cola, Voya, Delta Airlines, among others, and it took 3-5 days, depending on exactly what the client was wanting.

Not that I’m certainly aware of. I think you’ll have to restart the encoding process. But you can start uploading Part 1 to YouTube as soon as it’s done (while the rest is still encoding) and will still probably save a lot of time.

My typical Key Light workflow that has yet to let me down. (I’m writing this on the top of my head, so some of my wording choices may be inaccurate to the actual plug-in).
Use the color picker to get your key.
Adjust the balance if the colors get off.
Turn it from “Final Result” to “Screen matte”
Adjust “Clip Black” to clean up the black.
Adjust “Clip White” to clean up white and remove the transparency you’re dealing with.
See if the edges look good. If not, mess with the Pre-Blur. If you do mess with the pre-blur; you may also need to mess with the Shrink/Grow.Hope that makes some sense haha. The big thing you need to do is the Screen Matte, and Clip Black and Clip White. That will fix a lot of what you’re talking about with transparency. And often the balance will handle the spill issues you may get.

Really superb job. Especially as someone who is new to the video side of things.
Main thing that caught my eye was in the first video. The in camera recording of the screen; the screen seems a bit too dark. For a video like this, I think you’d want it a bit brighter so it captures your attention better and has more life to it. It’s a fine line for sure though. Just maybe something to consider next time.
Great work!
