[Charlie Austin] “[David Lawrence] “[Charlie Austin] “I don’t skim clips or scroll beyond an edit point in the timeline or turn source audio channels on and off in PrCC. Because I can’t.”

Actually, you can do all of those things in Pr, but that’s a topic for another thread… 😉
”

In the timeline without changing modes? Do tell.”

Right-click on the clip, select “audio channels”, change any channels you don’t want to use to “none”.

[Charlie Austin] “…or turn source audio channels on and off in PrCC.”

Actually, you can…

EDIT: Dangit! David beat me to it. 🙂

[David Mathis] “Would love to see higher frame rates available.”

These are nice updates to be sure… but I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for higher frame rates. These cameras are already pretty compact for the formats they shoot, and they generate a fair amount of heat as is. Unless, you want HFR Prores Proxy… it’s probably not going to happen.

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Shawn Miller] “I don’t know if you’re interested, but I would be happy to provide some details on how to go about this… for future reference, of course. :-)”

That sounds fantastic. Thanks so much.

editstation at gmail, if you want to do it that way.”

Yes that works, I will PM you a bit later. 🙂

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Shawn Miller] “Maybe Slice-X could be helpful here?”

Maybe, but then I don’t have all the tools I do in Ae.

Part of what is so hard about this project is getting disparate perspectives to line up. I’m not going to lie, it’s tough if not impossible. Some of these shots are simply going to look kind of “fake”, which is OK and fits in to the theme, but it has to be a really really good kind of fake, and with Ae, I am able to use actual camera physics to get some of this stuff to (sort of) line up correctly.”

Ah, gotcha’. Sorry to hear that, sounds like you’re the one that has to “make it work” – not always a fun position to be in. Do you do a lot of this kind of thing? If so, camera mapping might also save you a lot of work in trying to match perspectives. The folks providing the background plate wouldn’t even need to worry that much about shooting the correct perspective, just the (somewhat) correct height of the camera when shooting a spherical panorama. I don’t know if you’re interested, but I would be happy to provide some details on how to go about this… for future reference, of course. 🙂

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Shawn Miller] “Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you’re not using Mocha for roto and tracking?”

Honestly, every time I do a bigger composting job like this, I try to get to know Mocha and then subsequently get weirded out.

I have used Ae for so long in this capacity, that I know what to expect, and to Adobe’s credit, their own proprietary tools get better and better

tl;dr…I’m lazy.”

Ha ha, yeah, I have a suspicion that Mocha could make your life much easier… but totally understand if you just don’t have a week or two to invest in learning it. Maybe Slice-X could be helpful here?

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Shawn Miller] “I would be really interested to what you’re working on, Jeremy. Is it going to be public at some point?”

Yes. I know it will be in certain stores for the public, I am unsure of a web presence at this point, but how can something not have a web presence these days? :)”

Very true, I hope you’ll let us know if it hits The Interwebs. 🙂

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you’re not using Mocha for roto and tracking?

[Shawn Miller]

I would be really interested to what you’re working on, Jeremy. Is it going to be public at some point?

I’ve shot and edited a LOT of these… and I “live” in this environment full-time. This is easily the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks. Thanks for sharing, Bill.

[Bret Williams] “let’s add z position as a push, and L/R would of course be “slider” not dolly. Can we get a jib position?

But really, in 20 years I’ve never see anything but XYZ. Suddenly we have tilt and pan.”

I must be old then, in my day, we called L/R movements dolly, truck or crab… you kids and your fancy new sliders. 🙂 I tell you, it all went down hill when filmmakers stared caring about “crop factor”. 😛

Seriously though, I agree with you about the x,y thing… now, if we could just get the 3D folks to agree as well (some are “y up”, some are “z up”). 🙂
