    Color Correction

    Hmmm...I might disagree on the 24 frames per second contributing to a film aesthetic...in my opinion it does. It is likely that you've lit the scene like video if I follow your description. Video shooters key from the front...cinematographers/DPs key from the side or back. 3 point lighting...

    Problem With Rendering

    Is the sequence window the 'live' panel when you're hitting enter? When did it start having this issue? It sounds like it worked at one time... Any major changes to your system recently?

    Blurring Out Sections Of Video

    Typically you would layer a copy of the clip on the track above...on top of itself. You can blur the top layer and use a garbage matte to confined the blurred area to just where you want it. If you want soft edges, you could do the same thing with the layers, but you would have to create a...

    Color correction problem

    What are you looking at when you see the colors as "different". Do the colors look different from the computer monitor to an outboard video monitor? Pass along some details on your editing setup and exactly where you are seeing the difference please.

    Reconciling DH footage with SD

    Is the HD 1920 or 1280? If the whole thing could be cut as 1280x720 (progressive) that might be a good compromise, but if your source footage is all interlace, I would test whatever editing system you have to see if the conversion is acceptable.

    How to Direct Non-Actors

    I would just add that in those moments when you are very frustrated and tempted to read the line the way you want it read, the actor's focus (particularly inexperienced ones) will change to parroting the way the lines were read instead of "living" them. Sometimes getting the line read the way...

    Is the object glossy to begin with? What sort of lighting do you have on it? Does the object look as you intend on the original shot?

    Adobe Premier Pro or Final Cut Pro and why

    Re: Adobe Pre Pro Re: Adobe Pre Pro Interesting. Apple does have the edge on marketing when people who use neither PPro or FCP recommend FCP... First, what issues are you having with PPro and what sort of a machine are you running it on? i think one area where Adobe needs to improve is...

    video card question

    Consumer display cards don't have the Open GL processing strength of "Pro" cards typically...also Pro cards (for instance the NVIDIA Quadro series cards as opposed to the consumer GeForce series) will typically have a much higher polygon count and support for many more clipping planes, which are...

    Screenplay to Animation Help

    Perhaps you could be more specific about what your needs are.... Do you need a writer to adapt a story to a screenplay? Do you need an animator to plan out an animation from a screenplay? Do you need animation only? Do you need everything? ...lots of roles under the umbrella here...

    Importing Quicktime .mov file

    I assume there's a red indicator on the timeline over the QT clip? All QT needs to render inside of PPro as it's an AVI-based application. Once you place the file on the timeline and render it, it will play properly, though you could save yourself some time if you are making the files in...

    Need Serious Help

    Scott criticized the production company person who said he needed to know more about post production than he does...he doubted that. He criticized the instructors he'd met briefly (since he obviously wasn't a student) and a school he hasn't attended... I'm not endorsing any of these particular...

    Need Serious Help

    Look... Here's how I did it: I decided to go into this field in the last semester of high school...so I started preparing for entrance exams very late. I just got in to a state school under the enrollment deadline. I ended up doing a LOT of work in my very early college career because I...

    Need Serious Help

    I'm not sure what you learned in high school...but apparently you think quite a lot. I'm sorry if you find what I said harsh, but since when does the most talented kid in wood shop become a lead carpenter right after graduation? The best student in cooking/home economics will have a hard time...

    Need Serious Help

    Well...the reality of the situation was pretty well outlined by you... 1. You haven't taken your SAT's (which you could do if you decide to...) 2. You don't really know if you can finance an education but have you explored it much?...it can be more difficult than it was 15 years ago, but there...

    what video camera is best?

    I think that overall, the concept of tape being the only possible storage medium for documentary work is passing as the media gets less and less expensive. P2 is actually far superior to video tape for robustness...the harddrives you empty the cartridges onto however, aren't. However...it's...

    Help me! I starting a post-production company....

    I like Red Prince's answer here... It's like asking someone for advice on becoming a top-notch chef and asking "What stove should I buy?" The largest hurdle to becoming a top-notch chef is understanding cooking at an unusual depth...not buying appliances. 'Top-notch' equipment and 'budget'...
