I did a little testing with a handy overclocker called ClockGen. It allowed my cpu to overclock by half a Ghz and sped my renders up quite a bit. If your cpu is somewhat unstable it might be a bad idea but most intels will give you decent overclocking without messing with your motherboard. Be careful and watch your temperatures.

I use the shuttlepro and it’s fantastic! I don’t use multiples but I can understand what you mean about wanting that flexability. The reality of it is that if you’re doing multicam it’s not going to be for every project. You can easily just swap the multicam settings in and reprogram it when you’re done. If you are doing multicam for every project then I’d say jump to and use four of your buttons for it. It would be worth it. 🙂 I know, not terribly helpful but I’m with ya!

Hi there.

Congrats on completing your first film! Great work.

A couple of crits.

One: I would avoid the use of handheld shots at all cost. Unless you have a glidecam the shaking hand motion becomes more than distracting and leads the audience to believe the film is unprofessional.

Two: If your talent is doing voiceover avoid them reading from a script. It sounds lifeless and does little to endear us to the character or story.

Three: Keep doing the work. It’s gonna get better and more rewarding the more you do it!

Keep it up.

I’m running something similar with 512 ram and it runs nicely. 🙂

Renders aren’t as quick but that’s fine.

you could also try the “light rays” FX and have it set to the opposite of your movement?

good luck. 🙂

Try a workaround and render it to wav and then drop it into a lower track. Set that to solo and try another mov render. Sounds buggy.

I don’t like firewire drives because my systems always seem to lose the drives every so often. Then I have to do a restart and it messes things up.

USB2 always seems to stay up for me though. Never any dropped frames or transfer problems.

Awesome.

I haven’t played with assignable keystrokes so this makes sense. I went through the list of stuff that had been “binded” but I didn’t see createsubclip. I should have looked at “available”. Funny how something simple like that can really cause issues.

I know that Illustrator has many strange things that can’t be keystroked so I made a bad assumption.

Thank you mucho Edward.

Flix is a nice little program. Flash also has some nice options for importing mov files.
