Unfortunately, not in this case. I have 3 masks on the same layer and only need to wiggle one of them.

Check out Maltaannon’s Skybox tutorial. I don’t know where I found it, but I downloaded it as an MP4 file. I think this is it on YouTube, though:

Although YouTube here at work is blocked, so I can’t verify it’s the same tutorial.

Just save your captured files to your storage media (DVD or HDD), and render out your files as you normally would. If you’re capturing Microsoft DV AVI files on a PC system, then render out to that codec. Else render out to Quicktime MOVs with either Photo JPEG or Animation codecs set to High quality.

Burn files to DVD or write to a hard drive for storage purposes.

No sweat. I appreciate all the Cow has to offer, so this is my one stop “how do I do that” shop. 🙂

Oh, I agree about planning and so forth. I guess since you all don’t have all the background info, you are coming at this from the wrong angle.

Yes, I am a professional. I got my degree in 1993. I’m a corporate video producer. However, that is somewhat stifling creatively speaking. So, I have started a “film club” for actors and writers and crew to create our own passion projects on the weekends for film festival submission.

One overly zealous member came to me with preshot footage described in the original post. I’m just trying to help the kid out.

Thanks for some of the helpful info, though.

q[Dave LaRonde] “If that’s the case, and you aspire to do effects work, I’d investigate another path in life.

Or perhaps you can just suck it up, acknowledge that shooting off the cuff is no way to get satisfactory effects, and start putting some thought into your shots. The people who accomplish the effects you want to emulate actually do that.”

Wow. Kinda harsh.

[Johan Tornlund] “Hello Tom,

When I was around 8 years old, I found a free version of Bryce 3D on a computer magazine CD. I had never had any form of 3D experience prior to that except being very fascinated by CGI movies from video games. Fortunately Bryce was so user-friendly and fun to learn that I was up and running, making majestic 3D vistas and landscapes within minutes. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked on 3D modeling and animation.
I have also used the Far Cry editor you mentioned and I remember, when I first tried it I was immediately reminded of the old days of landscape sculpting in Bryce. I think for someone who’s young and coming from the Far Cry editor, Bryce is the perfect choice for an introduction into 3D modeling.”

Thanks, all.
