That’s perfect. Thanks Walter.

I solved it finally. What I didn’t realise (but I should have) was that you obviously need to turn of or remove your vibrate tag once you have baked your keyframes. So it was applying double vibration, hence why the keyframes didn’t look the same when I copied them.

Thanks for your help.

Hmmm…

I have tried this, but it’s not solved the problem unfortunately. Basically the issue seems to be when i copy the keyframes from the start to the end they are not the same. I am not worried about the frame being duplicated at the seem. Basically when i copy the keyframes the rotation is very different at the end and the position seems to be a bit different as well. Looking in the actual coordinates on that object, the position and rotation is all wrong. It doesn’t make sense to me. It seems like its not actually copying it.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Thank you both for your replies. much appreciated. That is what I was thinking Dave. Will have to try and persuade them to do it the other way round. Shoot first and then track it. Oh well, thanks anyway.

Yes, unfortunately I do. I need to be able to work on the go and I also do alot of work in-house at studios and sometimes need my own gear. So unfortunately laptop is a must for me. I am not too worried about it not being ideal. My pc at the moment is no beast. All I am worried about is that the laptop will be worse. As long as it is as good or better than my current pc its fine!

Cheers

Hi guys,

thanks for all your responses. I am currently using CS4 on a 5 year old pc. Its a HP Pavillion m7000 series. Pentium D 3.20 GHZ, 4gb ram, 512mb graphics memory. So I am not used to high speeds. Its pretty slow, but I’m used to it now. I suppose what I am really asking is. Will MBP be any slower or will I find it faster?

Cheers

I know. It’s a rubbish piece of software. I tried importing the files into avid media composer 5 and it wouldn’t have it either. Avid had the full length of the video, but instead of the image it just plays a white screen. the audio plays no problem.

Any suggestions on a third party encoder?

Any suggestions on a different way to capture the videos?

I am currently using a Samsung VCR and an EasyCap SCART to USB cable. Unfortunately Premier doesn’t support this and as far as I can see neither does Avid. So my options are running out here I think.

Cheers

Hi Alex,

When I choose AVI I get to compression options. YUY2 and RGB 24. I then get some recompression options. These are as follows:

No recompression
Main Concept (Adobe2) H.264/AVC Video
Main Concept (Adobe2) MPEG Video Encoder
MJPEG Compressor
Intel Indeo(R) Video R3.2
Intel Indeo(R) Video 4.5
Intel IYUV codec
Microsoft RLE
Microsoft Video 1
TechSmith Screen Capture Codec

Any good Ideas here?

Cheers
