Thank You!

a long time ago you recommended the book called “Digital Compositing for Film and Video”, that was the best, if ever read on that topics. So I guess Your recommendation is very good this time, too 🙂

Did You compare it to magic bullet ?
Do You know the virtual dub solution ?

The price for FieldsKit is really ok.

Anyone else ?

Thanks again!

Thanks!

Meanwhile I did something similar. But such big nested compositions are really impractical for a simple despilling. So all in all, I guess there is no simple way in AE. It’s realy a shame, that AE doesn have a real math “node” or effect. It would make it so easy.

Thanks for Your investigations 🙂

Still there is that question, if the scripting language of AE allows such things.

Thanks so far …

it could also be some kind of a chroma key process just to isolate the regions that need a green reduction. Not to confuse with the principle of difference matte that keylight uses for pulling the matte – as far as I know.

But I am still focusing on that mathematical approach.
So especially for Darby Edelen:

One formula could be:
Every pixels green value keeps it’s value UNTIL is is equal or more than the red value for that pixel. If it is more, then limit that green value to the same value than red.

I also wonder: Is there a way of using the script language for such math on pixels and chanels ?

Thanks!

OK 🙂

How I would like to know people that know people who know people.

But now I know where to ask.

Thanks !

But that never happened before in the same workflow.
And as I wrote: If I try to reproduce the problem from the same clips – there is no problem. Only those.
So somehow the single clips which are only “virtual” clips from a big AVI hav reversed fields. NOT the source AVI.

Anyone else ? 🙂

But how did You know that bugfix ?

Hello 🙂

they are all Matrox DV-Cam codec.
It would have been there if a did a DVD with the wrong fielorder. I could have reversed it at encoding, but thats not really a solution.

As I wrote the reverse fields did’t change anything.

Any ideas anyone ?

Thanks!

Hello 🙂

Thank You! But I wonder:

why are that important informations so hard to get.
I was on a show by adobe for the new features of CS3 and afterwards decided NOT to do the upgrade, because I couldn’t see serious improvements. But fixes like that ARE worth the money. Why isn’t there a liste of the REAL improvements. I don’t care about “Puppet Tool” ans such nonsens.

Thank You Steven!
