  • OH..ok got ur point.
    I’m sorry but i did a quick check on this shot the other day
    and deleted it right away, so i don’t really remember the cue point.
    But i assume the did a good work on preparation/filming.
    So the only thing the have to look after is a decent Key.
    Only florian herweg can give us a feedback about.

  • as long as i remember the shot that florian herweg posted,
    was about a guy making 3-4 steps to place him self against the green screen.
    So I guess they used a green backdrop as large as they needed
    The rest seemed to be a matter of editing, garbage masking and a good key.
    So i don’t think they need to do any roto, unless they need to composite a complex shot.
    Anyway you are possibly talking generally for the steps of a process, so i might misunderstood.

  • Apart of a slow drive i think the core is responsible for a choppy
    playback, cause i have an Acer Aspire Intel Core i5 which plays my DSLR 1080 perfectly.
    Btw y you recommend roto? u don’t talk about garbage masking right?
    cheers

  • nope .it’s not pixelated.
    it’s typical H.264 compression.
    All u need is some enhancement to get rid of this artifact.
    Try Neat plugin or denoiser by RedGiant
    But in some cases depending on the composite background u can get a decent key without any denoiser.
    Also a deartifacter plugin can be the solution.
    check Red Giant Composite Wizard.
    good Luck

    it depends .
    If this is a dslr project, then a motorized slider [ the market is full ] sounds ideal, but you cant have a free camera movement.
    For a heavy film camera my approach may bypass lots of obstacles and cost, plus you can have more complex shots.
    it sounds tricky-dirty but its just a compositing.
    This procedure was effective for me in the past.
    Having twins in the scene is the easiest way and it will return best results.
    But unless u r running a good production and u r lucky enough with casting.
    I’ll take that bravo as a friendly comment.
    making suggestions and having a chat by the same aspect is always preferable.
    cheers.

    hey depends of the style of the shot,
    but in case there is no complex camera movement, I’d recommend this:
    Start your camera rolling, do the movement as you like [ almost ] and while your talent/s is out of the shot, tell them not to appear in this place for the camera return.
    So you will end up with a clean plate/ empty room.
    Then u may try to fix a backdrop green screen in this final location of the room/space.
    Mount your camera on tripod/panther but don’t make any movement for the green screen part.
    Bare in mind to have the same angle/lens/lighting as it should be in the final shot .
    Set your talents against green screen backdrop.
    Continue filming the scene.
    Then use a 2d/3d camera tracker to get a virtual camera of the shot that you filmed previously .
    Composite the end part.
    Since your shot will be in a house or something there would be lots of useful points for tracking.
    However you can always set a decor that will help with this.
    If you need your talents to be sitting on a sofa/bed try warping green fabric on the furniture [ this wold make it quite hard ]
    lighting – shadows and a good chroma keying will do the trick.
    But in the end it might work.
    Hope it helps .

    My approach is not to deal with any codec.
    I’d recommend ( if i may ) u to work with dpx or tiff Sequences for read/write.
    All you have to take care after this is a just a hard drive space / low cost nowadays!
    But rendering as Seq. u will always have the option to resume render after a crash
    and u’ll be able to check the rendered frames whilst rendering as well.
    Once u happy just deliver it to the final file format.

    So the cg elements are ok through the clip, but not the live action movie.
    How about pre-render /replace the original quicktime movie with a tiff sequence?
    Then you can fire up your final composite render!
    It might be a transcode error
    Do u play with dslr H.264 ?

  • Thats what everyone is looking for.
    a twixtor plugin for audio. but i think there is nothing out there yet.
    There is a tool in Magix Sequoia which is called elastic audio, but as far as i remember it alternates the tonality under time curves but not the length of the clip.
    Anyone knows more would be nice to tell us more.
