[Oliver Peters] “- active integration between Premiere and After Effects, Photoshop, Audition”
Don’t forget Cinema 4D via Cineware, that’s a big one.

[Bill Davis] “In an EXTREMELY minor way. (from watching a brief advanced TEASER screening at NAB.)
(Plus editing is on-going – so ending up on the cutting room floor is probably still a very distinct possibility.)The fascinating thing to me was how really good the footage looks. Bradley was shooting with a simple BlackMagic production camera (at least for the interviews I was around at the Creative Summit last fall) and even projected very large, the footage looked REALLY good.
The production industry certainly has evolved massively regarding access to tools since the days back when I had to ship in Mitchell cameras from LA to Phoenix just to shoot my early commercials.
Amazing really.”
Ah, I see. I will still keep an eye out for you and Charlie though! Completely agree about the Blackmagic Production camera, it produces fantastic images – the fact that you can buy a 4k, 10/12bit camera that shoots in Prores or CinemaDNG for $3,000 is still just mind blowing to me. The tools we have access to today are simply amazing.

[Bill Davis] “Off the Tracks
A Documentary about the FCP X Launch coming soon.”Nice trailer, this looks interesting. Are you in the movie too, Bill?

You can’t select multiple in and outs on one clip and then insert them in the time line in the order you selected the in and outs from the clip. I am not talking about selecting multiple clips in the browser and inserting the in the timeline. I am also not talking about creating subclips.

I get it now, thanks.Shawn

[Gabe Strong] “I think he is talking about selecting a range within each clip…..and
doing it for several clips….”Ah, that makes sense then. He only mentioned selecting clips.
Shawn

[Brian Seegmiller] “No you can’t.”
So… you’re saying that I can’t select a range of clips and automatically lay them out on the timeline in the order in which I selected them in Premiere Pro?

[Brian Seegmiller] “One cool feature in FCP X is the ability to range select your clips in custom order. While holding down your “command” key and then range selecting your clips, they will be put on the timeline in the order you selected your clips.”
You can do that in Premiere Pro…

[Simon Ubsdell] “[Shawn Miller] “maybe I’ll tutorialize some bits from that project. ”
Please do. I’d really like to see that!”
Definitely! It might be something fun to share with the Fusion community.
[Simon Ubsdell] “That’s a really interesting analogy – I too started out in audio back in the patchbay days so I see exactly what you mean.”
Ha ha, that’s awesome. I’m always surprised to see how many of us started out on effects racks, multitrack recorders, sequencers and the like, but ended up working with digital video.
[Simon Ubsdell] “I doubt I’m anywhere near your level when it comes to multi-pass 3D but I’ve been really pleased with some of the results I’ve got back in Fusion for exactly that reason.”
I’m not so sure about that, but let me know if you ever want to passes to play around with… I’m always rendering stuff out for test and POCs; UVW, motion vector, depth, ID mattes, object mattes, normal, etc… ☺
BTW, are you still working with Modo? Which renderer are you using?

[Simon Ubsdell] “[Shawn Miller] “Fusion has turned out to be the best tool for the job.”
That’s cool! I had thought you were a Nuke user.”
I was actually in the process of learning Nuke and strongly considering buying a license… then Mamba and Fusion came along around the same time (I think). I kind of liked Mamba, but Fusion just felt more mature and intuitive – I’ve been in the process of learning it ever since. ☺
[Simon Ubsdell] “It would be fascinating to hear a bit more detail about your compositing workflow for this – if anybody should do a tutorial on this it should be you not me!”
Ha ha, this would probably never have occurred to me… I’m still learning myself, but who knows, someone might find my style of working useful – I’ve got a pretty fun live action short involving a CG drone coming up, maybe I’ll tutorialize some bits from that project.
[Simon Ubsdell] “There are several advantages that stand out for me but the two main ones that I can think of right now are a) the ability to pipe anything anywhere at any time (which means you can be massively more sophisticated with the way you actually composite the multi-pass elements), and b) the ease of applying Effect Masks to filters, which doesn’t just have productivity benefits, it also facilitates a lot more creative possibilities.”
Completely agree, node based compositing reminds me of my old days of audio recording – you could build out completely different effects using different compressors, exciters, reverb units etc, and then pipe anything into and out of those systems – want to change the effect? Just bypass that exciter module and pipe in the EQ… or keep that chain on standby, build another effect with completely different units and patch THAT into the mix… or combine both effects chains in a submix… if your patchbay was properly labeled, you could quickly do just about anything. ☺
[Simon Ubsdell] “Actually I think Conduit is still going and it’s now free.”
Yes, but now it’s Mac only. I agree on everything else though, it was the first application that made compositing fun for me.

For my part, I really enjoy putting these together using a linear workflow in Fusion. “Does this mean that there’s a multipass compositing tutorial coming? ☺
