I have a similar set up, Bryan, a cMP 2010 with 2 x 3.33ghz, Nvidia 960 ti, etc. Mostly runs well but I do have regular unprompted shutdowns in PPro 2018 (v12.0.0). Sometimes it's something as simple as nudging a window to make it larger or smaller, etc. For the...

Where it stands against decklink 8k or even their own kona 4. i found no big upgrade than kona 4 except 12G sdi/HDMI 2.0 or ports layout. and sdi/hdmi are always back compatible. is there any temptation to upgrade to this?...

This is my first post here. Hope I am posting in the right group. (little confused about where to post). Need help in understanding this. When I post a 4k mp4 clip from my Lumix gx 85 camera in vegas pro12, the clip has extended freeze frames at the end....

Just a note that I am working with the audio track, in case that wasn't clear. 1. I selected an 11-second section within a longer clip. 2. Copy and Pasted it into a new audio track. 3. Pasted the same clip at the end of the first track. Played the...

When it comes to doing storyboards I was thinking about learning how to use frameforge and doing it that way, to present them with more clarity. But how do you present them to your DP and crew, after you are done? Does it look more professional to give them a...

You only have 6 gigs of RAM? Am I reading that correctly? You need 16 gigs of RAM for AE to work nicely. So I have 2 recommendations: 1) GET MORE RAM! 2) Transcode mp4's to a good intermediate codec. Dave LaRonde Promotion Producer KGAN (CBS) & KFXA (Fox) Cedar...

Firstly the calibration for -23 or -24 is in the preference menu. If you want to run the loudness, you need to reset and run from the beginning. Assuming you have done all that do you have everything at unity levels, no EQ or dynamics and correct patching and panning?...

Anything produced for cinema should be shot, edited and mastered at that native rate for the best results. YouTube will take that rate just fine. Then convert for any broadcast TV. Oliver Oliver Peters - oliverpeters.com...

If you delivered 29.97 and they are playing it at 23.98, 24.0, or 25.0, then it will look like frames are being dropoed and therefore “choppy”. Oliver Oliver Peters - oliverpeters.com...

I've included a still from a recent green screen shoot - this is on neutral settings, STD-5 - the key worked fine, but there's too much detail on their faces - I'm not expecting cinematic, but I'm also not expecting the coarseness it's throwing up....

Oh I see what you're saying Pierre — I rarely use Premiere. But I thought Premiere was not color managed? If it is not, then it would be correct to send the image into a 2.4 gamma calibrated monitor, or to emulate that with a LUT. I don't use the...

my system specs are amd a8-3820 apu with radeon hd graphics 2.50 ghz processor and 6 gb of ram when i turn off all of my effects it still freezes at frame 25 yes i do, but i tried previewing it at full and it still freezes at frame 25?...

Your hot glow there looked like a 32bpc effect. I think there's a bug in dynamic link's color profile conversion from Ae to Pr/AME with super-bright values, well over 1.0, especially in the blue channel. This can only happen with floating point color (32bpc); neither of the integer color depths...

@Walter Soyka You are the boss! I just smashed the like button! It fixed the issue, but now I am completely puzzled! Why did you ask if I was using 32bpc and what exactly does the "Clip To Output White" to On does? Please LET ME KNOW!!!...

Then gotta be something on their end...do they convert it after you give it to them? Play it off a hard drive? Shane Little Frog Post Read my blog, Little Frog in High Def...

Walter, I forgot answering, yes it is on 32bpc!!!...

Is your project set to 32bpc and exporting via dynamic link to Media Encoder? Try this: apply a Levels effect on an adjustment layer at the top of your comp. Don't touch the histogram, the inputs, gamma or outputs -- just set "Clip To Output White" to "On." Walter Soyka...

Okay thanks. I would actually ask my film school professor if it's okay to break rules in certain situations, and he said that every situation is different and he cannot tell me if one will work for one, cause it may turn out that it might not, depending on several...

I don't have an answer but am also curious to know any info on this - earlier today I was seeing some scripting failures (unique to the new AE update) which I haven't yet had time to investigate - but that would explain it (they use JSXBINs that way)...

It is choppy on the big screen. On my computer screen I don't have this issue, or just a tiny bit maybe.....

Found it. I must have hit command + shift + 5, and to get it back to color you hit command + shift +2.... just in case y'all were curious. ☺...

Hello, I was in photoshop working on a website layout and and I went to take a screenshot (command + shift + 4) and I hit some other key combo on accident. Now the layout is in all B&W, any idea on how to I get it back to color?...

I'd suggest that rather than just a gray card, you get an actual color bar chart to use on set: part of the chart is specifically made to calibrate exposure. And if you can afford it, get a Macbeth chart, which can really help you in the color correction phase...

Apple Compressor should be able to convert the DVC Pro in batches. MPEG Streamclip can do them one by one but it's free. But I think Mojave may have killed it....

So after updating to After Effects 2019, I've run into a little issue without a true way to solve it of yet. I used to be able to run expressions as jsxbin files to try and somewhat "protect" them. However, since the latest update, it no longer works. I'm guessing...
