Exactly the same three questions I would like the answer for…

[Stewart Bourke]

Just to close this issue off – upgrading to 10e sorted the issue. I have been using the latest BCC – so when I upgraded to 10e and installed the Bcc installer I had tried in 10d everything worked fine.

Thank you for you assistance.

Peter,

My apologies for the delay in replying – I have had tech rehearsals for a show all weekend.

I was using the latest version of BCC8 – I downloaded the latest version immediately to installing it.

Here is what I did to replicate:

a) Put DV media clip on track 2
b) Put PNG image on track 1 immediately above event on track 2 – duration 5 seconds, offset by 5 seconds from start.
c) Dropped image shatter fx on the PNG event

scrubbed through the timeline – as soon as I hit where the png starts, I would expect the image to start shattering. However, it does not, I get artifacting and partial exposure of the second layer ‘behind’ the png – I would have expected to see the png shattering to reveal the video on track 2

I also tried rendering to a file, and when viewed, it did the same.

I hope this help.

Thank you.

Folks,

I would appreciate some response on this. Upgraded to BCC8 to get some effects but ended up not being able to use them for a paid project – had to go back to bcc7…

Thanks everybody for the help. Jermey in Boris sent me a screenshot of how to set it up – I had confused things.

Great support – thanks.

Steve,

Unfortunately not. I do not appear to be able to have a 2:1 transform on a track, and to be able to rotate that track in 3d space. As soon as I made the track a child track of the empty track above it the light-wrap did not work. Even adding the light-wrap to the parent track did not work.

I’ll check in with the guys in Boris – thanks for your help.

Peter,

Do you know if the support team managed to reproduce the issue?

Thanks

I am pretty sure you can do most, if not all of this in blufftitler. It has a particle system, flares, 3d model manipulation, reflections etc. takes a little getting used to, but definitely worth a look.

Have a look at the virtual studios in Blufftitler – outerspacesoftware.com

Nils,

Have you had a look at blufftitler? It has realtime playback, support for audio and video, and you can drive show content from an external XML file. Don’t let its price tag or first-looks put you off – it is a great piece of software.

I use it with 2 x matrox triple-heads.
