Hi

Although I’ve been using after effects for a month I’ve done all videocopilot’s basics tutorials and I’ve done 10 or more of his other tutorials.

I don’t think I am going to get a satisfactory video with the green screen as I am taking close up product videos. Perhaps the green screen is better if you’re taking a video of someone talking or something similar? Could someone point me in the direction of a guide on creating a 3d product (like used in the video) with one of the 3d programs? When doing a search on google, all I’m getting is stereoscopic 3d results.

Also I don’t know if the camera I am using is good enough for green screen. It is a Sanyo Xacti SH1 which is full hd 1080p

thanks
Nick

My computer spec is:

AMD Phenom II x6 1055T 6 core processor
14GB DDR3 1333
2x 65GB SSD in raid for windows
2x 1.5TB SATA hard drives in raid for storage.

I have no problems with after effects it is pretty fast for whatever I am doing.

4GB sticks of DDR 3 have dropped quite a bit at the moment. I would have put 16GB in but for some reason the motherboard wouldn’t take it even though it said it would. The most I could fit was 14GB

You should be able to pick up 4GB sticks for £35 easily

Sorry, I am a new member and the post was sent for moderation before I could reply again.

The video is not very sharp. On the edges of the object there seems to be random pixels that flicker black.

What I am wanting to do is create a spinning object like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdBeyhBYoyw

Could someone please let me know how this has been done as the object looks like it is 3d.

Thanks for the replies so far and I will take a look at the links.

thanks
Nick
