Designer Templates for Final Cut Studio

Mark Spencer | 02/11- 10:58 AM

Professionally designed templates for Final Cut Pro and Motion

image

Students, customers, and colleagues have been asking me for years to design templates for Motion and Final Cut Pro. I always resisted, because I didn’t want to do it unless I could do something that would really stand out.

Over the past several months I have been working with Ripple Training and a professional design team to do just that.

Keyframe Stretching in Motion

Mark Spencer | 11/12- 11:30 AM

Scaling Keyframes to Retime Your Animation

image

So you’ve created a great animation in Motion. You’ve tweaked every motion path, set each keyframe interpolation, and pulled and pushed on every bezier handle to get the timing and flow just right. Then your client tells you they love it but it needs to last 2 seconds longer. Before you pull your hair repositioning hundreds of keyframes by hand, check out this video for a quick tip on a handy keyframe editing tool that could save you load of time - and hair.

Getting the Most out of Motion

Mark Spencer | 10/27- 12:34 PM

12 Tips for Improving Motion’s Performance

image

One of the most enjoyable features of Motion is its ability to play back even moderately complex projects in real time - allowing for a type of interactive development process where you can add and animate layers while the project plays back. In fact, the real-time playback feels so intuitive and natural after only a short time that it becomes quite addictive - to the point where it can be really annoying when the performance begins to slow down.

2D Footage with a Stereo 3D Rig in After Effects CS5.5

Jeff Foster | 02/10- 06:09 PM

Edit and Optimize 2D Stereo Pairs from a 3D Video Camera or Twin Cameras with a Modified Stereo 3D Rig in After Effects CS5.5

Adobe included a 1-step option to create a 3D Stereo Camera Rig in After Effects CS5.5, to everyone’s enthusiasm for a simpler workflow in 3D space. Great if you are working in 3D space in After Effects, but what about an easy option for 3D Stereo pairs captured by a 3D camera or twin cameras on a rig? In this tutorial I’ll show you how to quickly modify the Stereo 3D Rig in After Effects to quickly mux your L&R video files and adjust the convergence for anaglyph, interlaced or stereo pairs output.

How to get the “24p” look for your live-switched multicam shoot

Allan Tépper | 02/10- 04:23 PM

A contracted article, sponsored by Datavideo Corporation.

Our friends at Datavideo recently asked me to write an article called How to get the “24p” look for your live-switched multicam shoot. The article covers many factors involved in accomplishing that goal, including framerate, aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, and menu settings in Datavideo’s digital HD video mixers (“switchers”) and recorders, and also the menu settings in several pro cameras from Canon, Panasonic, and Sony. The included chart explains which of the cameras have a direct HD-SDI output, and which require an optional converter to go from HDMI to HD-SDI to connect to the Datavideo digital HD video mixer. As you’ll see in the article, the approach is quite different from the workflows I normally cover, which are more appropriate when programs are to be edited, as opposed to when they are shot —and potentially broadcast— live. The graphics for this article were done by Victory Elliot of Datavideo Corporation.
