Not sure if helps you, I haven’t tried it myself.Best of luck!

ahh that looked sweet dude!
Well, I think I figured mine out- I’m not sure why, but if you just restart the program, and then don’t scrub through the timeline at all before you render, they all appear.
Weird…but I guess it works =\ -
Ah, I see about the tapes. Thanks for the help guys, but I’m still a little confused about the interlacing. These cameras are mostly shooting at 60i, right? But some of them have a 30p or 24p mode.. When they’re shooting at 60i, am I going to have to deinterlace the footage each time I want to work with it? Because the camera I have now interlaces the footage (its really old..not even digital), so its a pain to have to deinterlace it before I can do anything.

Hmm. I can see where tape would be easy to store and all, but I’ve used it once before for a project, and it took a lot longer to get the footage onto the computer than the (cheaper/lower quality) camcorder that had an internal hard drive.
Is this ever a problem for you?Nah, none of those cameras are out of the pricerange =)
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/481076-REG/Canon_2059B001_VIXIA_HV20_2_96MP_CMOS.htmlMost of these cameras shoot at 60i, but some have a 24p or a 30p mode, does this mean that when I’m shooting at 60i, I’d have to deinterlace the footage? Because the camera I’m using now (when I can’t borrow a better one) is 15 years old, and I have to deinterlace the footage every time..which is kind of a pain.

Ah cool, thanks! I’ve been comparing more cameras, and I’ve been getting more confused..
2. I was looking at the JVC GZ-HD3, which has a 1/5″ 3CCD sensor, but I noticed that several of the cameras that are $3-400 cheaper are using 1/2.7″ CMOS sensors (like the Canon HV20). As I understand it, these 1/2.7″ CMOS sensors will be better, but they’re on cheaper cameras?Also, the HV20 has image stabilization, but its still cheaper than the GZ-HD3? The only other difference I can see is that the GZ-HD3 has 60 gigs of onboard memory, whereas the HV20 uses the HD miniDV tape stuff. I’m just mostly confused about the price difference.
And then there’s the Sony HDR-HC7, which doesn’t seem to perform as well as the HV20?Is this one of those things where I just have to go into a camera shop and try them out to see which one I like best?
5. Haha, thanks. I’ve been flamed too many times on some other forums, so I wasn’t sure how the people were here =)
Thanks,

Ah. I have a copy of poser 7/vue 6, think I could get away with some face/body morphs for the character? I’m not very good at modeling, so I’m not sure how well I could get it to work.
I’d call myself an intermediate Vue user, since I picked up the book for beginners and already knew how to do all of the stuff, but I’m not sure what you mean by rendering multiple passes? I’ve never really played with those settings, does it just render out a different channel for alpha/depth/color?Hmm… where could I get/make one of these robot arms with flesh?

ahh cool thanks alot! I didn’t know that stuff about lightsabers cauterizing wounds.
Thanks for the tips on setting it up. That just leaves me with 1 more question. When it comes off, how far out should the head go? Should it just fall straight down on top of the character? Or will it fall a few feet out? If so, will the motion path look kinda parabolic? Or does it all depend on how he’s moving when his head gets cut off, and I’ll just have to eyeball it?
