Hi Ross,

Warp Stabilizer gave me some funky results so I went back into Mocha. I ended up painstakingly tracking the entire rim of the cup, so a LOT of keyframes.

The result is not bad at all, not the most efficient method I grant you, but since I will not use the entire shot anymore and rather slow it down and use maybe 1/4 of it I’ll be fine.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Bummer

Well I spend 10 hours in Mocha yesterday so I did learn a few tricks. There is one shot that gives me grief and it is this one

The shot is exactly what it looks, she stirs her coffee and put down the spoon once done. Even though the camera was handheld and pointing down the shot is not that bad, I just want to remove as much wobbly as possible and keep the cup at the center.

I could I go about telling Mocha that I want the cup to stay there and not track the movement of the camera?

Thanks

Awesome! Thank you fellas.

Hi Todd,

This here is the first fight in Gladiator, past the 7 minute mark there are shots that are so sharp they feel to me as though they were accelerated somehow, look for a shot where snow starts to fall, everything then is super sharp and I can’t help but feeling that it looks like it was shot in 15-20 fps.

Are my eyes deceiving me and it is all done in post or can I somehow get that effect right off the bat while shooting?

Thanks

ps, There is of course the Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan that has tons of shots to which I am referring to, look into the first minute of this video and you’ll see plenty of super sharp, slight faster than normal shots

I shoot with a 60D and simply drop the clips on the timeline. Never had any issue at all even though my rig is aging.

You know that you can easily create proxies since version 11?

If you don’t well you simply need to clip on any clip in the Project Media window and click on “Create a video proxy”. Vegas will then create a proxy in the same folder as the original.

Setting the preview window to either Draft or Preview will tell Vegas to use the proxy but if you stay in Good or Best it will use the original files.

Cheers
