Thank you both for the information and advice.

I usually bundle up projects every couple of months and burn disks overnight. While not fast, I’ve cataloged everything with NeoFinder and I can usually find anything I’ve done over the last 25 years (CD-Rs and DVDs back in the day). Then the problem becomes, do I have a program that will open the…

I’ve done a little more digging. I’m reading the man file on ‘cp’ (The terminal command). On suggestion is: “Note that cp copies hard-linked files as separate files. If you need to preserve hard links, consider using tar(1), cpio(1), or pax(1) instead.”

One nice thing about using the terminal to do the copy is that the -R switch with ‘cp’ not only…

Hello,

For some time I have been backing up projects to Blu-Ray disks. I tried to copy one of those ISO disks to another medium and have been running into an issue. The copy fails at the point where the .fcpbundle is being copied and it reaches an alias to a media file in the “original media” folder. I get this error in the terminal: “Unknown…

Also, you can use Set Channels and Curves.

Set Channels: “Set Alpha to layer’s Luminance”

then add a curve and adjust only the Alpha.

If it becomes part of the Creative Cloud, maybe we’ll switch off of Vimeo.

I was considering IBC in early December. I could run into the same issues.

I’ve not tried it yet, but Adam Plouff’s Battle Axe has a new compression tool, Anubis.

I’m late to the party, but… Bob is right about the TBC. You shouldn’t have two of them in series. That’s an extra Analog to Digital to Analog (A/D D/A) step you don’t want or need.

You might need a TBC remote for the UVW-1800 to be able to adjust the output of the deck. Scopes are important, but if you can’t adjust the UVW without the remote.

Here’s my attempt. Could have picked a better font, but it was a nice diversion.

After studying the original more, I see where I could have moved the anchor point a little to create a more sweeping effect on the “C”. There are other things I see in how the words dissolve on where they feel like they are behind and not just a non-additive mix.…

Brute force, animating it once in a pre-comp and then duplicating it and offsetting it, tinting.

Maybe Yanobox Mosaic?

Also… maybe “Processing”? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processing_(programming_language)

There was a video editor that ran on a Mac called Affinity by Accom, but that was over 20 years ago. We had one where I work.

The graphic element you have highlighted, I would call the entire thing an “Over-The-Shoulder” or also reffered to as an OTS.

Around the same time the Chyron (Originally Chiron) was being developed, CBS Labs developed Vidifont. http://jcbd.com/vidifont/

Also, DVE was a trademark of NEC for their digital video effects.

Was this of any use?

I tried to recreate using a Shape Layer.
