Basic 3d Filter

Im creating a motion project and i want to use the 3d video filter to rotate an object with something on the back but i need to know what kind of image will i be able to use for the backside image

Like Specialcase said, you can plug any object into the Back Face input. (shape, text, movie, still, generator, etc)
You do need it to be in your project already though.
Note that you can not drag it directly from the Library to the Image well in the Dashboard. You must have it in your project first (ie in the Layer List, or Media tab)

Problems with Basic 3D Filter in Motion 2.0.1

Hello helpful people,
when I apply the Basic 3D filter to a layer the layer becomes a little fuzzy. With no settings on the filter changed. If I put the filter on only a piece of the middle of the timeline my object goes from sharp to fuzzy and then sharp again.
Also with the filter on, it seems to be about 1 pixel higher in size.
Any workaround around that? Or other ideas?

Where is the BASIC 3d filter?

Stupid question i know...I have version 1.0.1 and can't find the basic 3d filter that everyone's talking about? I've looked all over this board....do you know where it's at?

How to rotate/spin basic 3d filter

Hi everybody,
In Motion 2, I have put a layer in 3D perspective by using the basic 3D filter. Now I want to rotate/spin the layer in 3D. Is this possible? I tried placing keyframes and clicking/dragging the filter, but that didn't work. Any help is appreciated!
greets

hi,
you can animate the 3d filter to make it rotate in a faux 3d way. But you can make the whole thing spin in 3d space. For that you will have to get Motion 3

No basic border filter on cropped shots?

I'm making a movie basically on V1 and V2. V1 is standard material from my own camera. V2 is imported from a 16:9 source. All shots on v2 are scaled to 80% (so V1 is partly visible) and cropped (all 4 sides), as to get rid of the black beams on top and on the bottom. Now i want to apply a basic border filter to the tracks on V2, to detach the material from the underlying tracks, but fce (2.03) refuses to accept the filter. Other filters are accepted without any problem. I presume that the problem is caused by the cropping procedure. If it's not possible to apply a border filter to cropped material, is there a way to do it in a different way?

Thanks for your help. I tried, but did not succeed in getting the precise image i'm looking for, and apart from that it would take a lot of time to do this as the V1 track is divided in more than 50 short shots. Anyway i now understand why i could not apply the border. What i need is a way to really cut the shots, as you can do in Photoshop (select your part of the picture and cut it out). This apparently cannot be done in FCE. I tried to do it in imovie, but no way. I have only little experience with QTpro, but as far as i can see, there is no possibility to really cut out part of the video, to get rid of the 16:9 black beams on top and on the bottom. May be some other application?

Video Filter - Basic 3D Question

Oh great and wise ones,
Basic 3D Filter question. Problem, whenever you have an image/video clip twisted along its axis via the Basic 3D filter, the corners/edges get cut off. Are there any filters/tricks to manipulating an object in 3D space? I'm not looking for anything fancy here, just the basics. Or should I assume this is what Motion is for?
Thanks!

Hi -
Double click on the clip with the Basic 3D effect applied in the timeline.
Click on the Filters tab in the viewer.
At the bottom of the Basic 3D section you will see a control for Scale.
Adjust the Scale control until the edges of your frame are not being cut off.
If your frame is starting full frame and rotating, this means you might want to keyframe the Scale control so that it starts at 100% when the frame is flat to us, then becomes less as the frame rotates on edge, thereby keeping the edges of the frame visible.
Hope this helps.

Getting filter condition values from a table within the mapping

I have a table say mytable with columns as name, age and maritalstatus. I have another table paramtable with the following structure parametername, parametervalue. The data in this would be like say
Age >= 24
Maritalstatus F
Now from the table mytable I want to apply a filter which uses the values from the paramtable. Basically the filter condition should be something like
mytable.age >= 24 and maritalstatus = F
Any help on how this can be done within OWB?
Appreciate all the help i can get

Appreciate all the help i can getoption 1. take table 1 and tabl2 into a joiner and apply this filter on the joiner.
2. If table 1 has age and marital status then you can straightaway apply a filter with the condition without using table 2.
if you are always going to link tabl1 and tab2 then perhaps using a joiner is the best way.

Filter Question 4: Sharpen's Luminosity option

When using the very basic Sharpen filter (not the FX Plug one), the Luminosity option appears to be unchecked by default. FCP Help doesn't seem to offer any suggestions as to when it would be appropriate to turn it on.
With the very small amount of Sharpening I'm applying, the difference between having the Luminosity checkbox on or off is extremely subtle. But am I correct in concluding from my squinting eyes that having it On keeps certain colors from slightly oversaturating, due to the contrast-increasing effect of the filter itself?
But that would seem to suggest having the Luminosity On would be the default setting-- so is there something else about that option of which I should be aware -- or wary of?
Thanks,

Agreed (and echoing David's point). But it also means:
Why can't Apple's "Help" documentation provide quick access to a simple paragraph as succinct, as informative, and as helpful as the one YOU just wrote! With hyperlinks that would let me learn more about "3X3 convolutions" if I so choose? The point is, even if my understanding of the tech aspect is minimal, at least that was an explanation of what the different parts of the filter DO.
Now actually using that same filter in a tasteful way obviously involves testing, experimentation, and lots of trial-and-error experience. My annoyance with Cupertino crowd is when they don't seem to want to tell us anything about a particular function whatsoever -- as if to say: "Oh it's much too complicated to try and document -- just click away on the buttons and eventually you'll figure out what it does".
I'm not saying the "figuring out" still doesn't have to happen -- but please just give us a general idea to get the ball rolling. Either that, or hire someone like Andy Mees to make the Help files a bit more Helpful!

Basic 3d, how do I change rotation axis (anchor) point?

I have a photo in front of me. Now I'd like it to fall toward me, but when I spin the X axis, of course, the focal/center/axis point is the center of the photo. If it was falling toward you as if standing up on a table, the bottom of the photo would be the rotating point. I don't see a way to change this anchor point in the basic 3d filter - can it be done?
Thanks!

The easiest way I found to do this is the following:
Make the layer you want to rotate in 3D (the photo, in this case) a child/sublayer of a new, empty layer.
Apply the Basic 3D effect to this new, parent layer.
Select the photo sublayer and drag it until it's relative position regarding the axis sytstem/anchor point is the one you want. After that, when you animate the Basic 3D filter in the parent layer, the photo will behave as if the axis system was offset to the location you wanted.

Empty filter panel in Bridge CS5

I’m using Bridge CS5 on Windows 7. If I create a new folder, add an image file, and attach a keyword, the filter panel remains empty – as if the folder were empty. That is, not only are there no terms under the Keyword filter, but no filter options are displayed at all.
However, if I use Find to search for the attached keyword, then there’s no problem locating the image.
This is such a basic issue that I’m sure I’m missing something obvious. Is it related to caching or indexing? Closing and reopening Bridge doesn’t make any difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I see what’s going on now. It looks like there’s a minor Bridge 4.0.4.2 bug relating to the filter panel (in the lower left part of the Bridge window). Basically, no filter options are shown in the panel unless the current folder contains at least two files.
To see this behavior: (1) Create a new folder; the filter panel will be empty of course. (2) Copy an image file into the folder; the panel is still empty. (3) Copy another image file into the folder; the panel is populated with options, e.g. keywords, camera raw properties, etc. for the two files. (4) Delete one of the files; the filter panel is empty again.

Motion Basic 3D Problem

I would like to move the x-axis or the anchor point of the basic 3D-filter to the base of an object, enabling the object move around it's base instead of it's center, is this possible?
If so, how do I do it?
If not, how else can I create this effect?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Basic 3D Backface in Motion 2

I'm trying to apply a backface to a Basic 3D filter. I know how to do it in a typical situation, but I've got the Basic 3D filter on the edge of an object (so it sort of opens a door on its hinges rather than just flipping the door in the middle). The texture that I apply as the backface is applied to the center of the 3D filter, not the center of the object. Does that make any sense? Does any body know how to apply a backface to center of the object and not the center of the filter? Any workarounds?
Thanks!

Avoiding Weblogic basic authentication check

I want to use Acegi basic authentication filter with WLS 8.1. But weblogic doesn't allow requests which have Authorization header and no such user is configured in weblogic, although I haven't configured any security in weblogic for my web-app. How could I send username and password using basic authentication, without weblogic to check them?

You can comment out the security constraint and login config in the web.xml of your application.

Basic 3d not smooth

does any1 has the same experience as mine when you using the basic 3d filter to rotate on the Y axis, it doesn't move smooth. I have only 2 keyframes on the Y spinning & it's not smooth. I've also notice that any animating motion keyframe would not be smooth. let's say I move my object form left to right & it's jiggering not smooth at all.
any help?
thanks
JP

hi
need a bit more information i thinnk. what are you animating, over what values and in what time scale are you doing it. I was using the 3D filter on the Y axis today and it was a smooth as smooth can be. (animating from 0 to 89 degress over 8 frames, and then back again)

Basic 3D Effect

I'm trying to have one image A rotate to reveal another image B. I'm turning the image on its y axis 180 degrees. When I attempt to add the second image to the backplate well of the basic 3d filter nothing happens. The well does not accept the image. Image one and image two are both ntsc DV movie files from Final Cut Pro.
Can anyone please provide me a step by step how to do this. I looked it up in the manual and it did not tell me anything.
Thanks,
