Hey that’s a real awesome site! It should be linked in that compressions FAQ post at the top of the forum. very useful stuff with lots of answers.

well shoot photoJPEG looks like it wins the fight for my uses. If only it had an alpha I would use it always.

thanks for the quick response Daniel!

hah yeah I figured there was no way around it.

The printer takes 200dpi, so that will help some.

Thanks for the advice.

yep…that worked just great! this seems like a valuable technique when one is happy with the default lighting, but could use a little more control. thanks!

bah humbug.

Any advice for creating a similar lighting setup to the default light? I have spheres flying around over great distances (planets). Is using global illumination something that might work?

In the end, I used the photomerge function. although it didn’t do exactly what i was asking at first, the result was fine. It arrayed all my images in a more or less random display…which actually worked nicely for my uses.

Cool thanks, I’m gonna check out this method soon. Also got some other ideas that may interest you (haven’t tried them yet) here: https://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=45217

Oh yeah that works just fine.

Edited the images in photoshop and batched them…didn’t take long to finish the batch at all.

Although AE has the tools mentioned in that tutorial, they work differently and yield poor results. There may be a way to do this in AE, but it exceeds my skillz.

I will post some before and after photos soon.

thanks again!

Oh my god thanks this looks like it’s gonna work perfectly!

I’ll try it in a bit and let you know. I’ll post some before and after photos.

I’m pretty sure Aftereffects doesn’t have the same set of filters, but if I can achieve the same process in AE that would be best so I could see how it works on all my footage.

Either way I can just batch the images sequence in photoshop.

YES!

Interesting thoughts, I will try them out soon.

One question:

If I were to prepare my footage in after effects to better wrap around the sphere, should I first export a 2D UV map to use as a reference? Any ideas on how this process works or correct terms that I can search the help for?

Thanks!

June 10, 2009 at 12:19 am in reply to: Getting HDV footage to a happy place : ) 🙁 !!!!

Aight. I’m going to capture the HDV to ProRes 422 on capture from the FW camera…as FCP 6.0.2 and above allow.

I also want to get the footage to be 1920×1080 square pixels, as well as progressive with deinterlacing.
I plan on deinterlacing with RE:Vision’s Fieldskit.

Should I deinterlace before I resize, or the other way around? Or at the same time? Intuition tells me to deinterlace first. How is this process ordered within an export in a program like Compressor?

I know it is typical for people to deinterlace when doing their final delivery exports, but I have to do fx work in Cinema 4d which does not support field orders.

Thanks in advance for all the help!
