  • I think it’s a sign of how old you are. When you say ” God are people still wondering how to do that” The older you are.

    Cheers Old Folks,

  • Motion tile to get the frames to appear vertically and I thought there was a film burn plugin with AE. A little projector noise and your set. Seeing frame sprockets would be do-able if you precomp the film edge image with the video then the motion tile and burn.

    I know being under pressure to finish a piece you want to use the tool your most comfortable with but when you have the time learn both Motion and Shake and you’ll be be better at AE because of it.

    If you have a valid reason to do something in AE or any program just explain it to the people you work with. If they don’t listen it might be that they don’t know or worse don’t care.

    Keep Comp’ing

    Well it’s realtime only to the point your computer (GPU) can handle what your asking of it. If you take the time to learn the program you will see that somethings go quite well. The integration with Final Cut can work well, it depends on how you want to work and what your trying to do.

    I believe people thought little of the preset “behaviors” that AE came out with (v6 or was it v6.5) but found ways to use them.

    At first Motion didn’t seem to give me that control I was looking for and of course the way you do something in AE is different in Motion.

    If you have both use both. Now if you want to compare things you should of got them to buy Shake.

    [Empathetic1636] “So, is it a very large layer that is sliding around in the 720×480 Comp?”

    This is the easist way. You could use a camera as well.

    Use the alpha channel for glows or light rays. If you have a vector file paste as mask and use something like vegas or stroke.

    Think about what it would look like if you shot it and how the light would move.

    Well, I’d call it a tilt but… AE’s tracker can guess but not very well. Is there another point that is still in the frame after the tilt and is it on the same plane (distance from the camera) as your first tracking point?
    If so, then at the time in which your first point goes out of frame you need to relocate the tracking point to the new point and continue the track.
    There is a particular way to change the point so you don’t get a jump in the tracking but I can’t describe it.. so check the manual on how.

    You could make the footage a still frame (might have a difference in noise).

    If your spot is visible the whole time you could take the tacking info and stabilize the masked layer. This should just remove the pan from the shot. Keep in mind that the tracking point should be in the area you used in the mask.

    The Tut looks promising but it only played for ten seconds.

    I’d like to hear what people have to say about this as well.

    For the time being, you could duplicate the layer and draw a mask around a clean part of the panel. Track the original and apply to a null. Position the duplicate with the mask over the part you want to cover on the original and parent to the null.
