Creating Violent Shudder - (Artillery Blast) - WWII Documentary

Hello all
I've received some pretty good advice here on the forum. And in regard to a WWII documentary that I'm working on,
I plan on using a few Cannon GL2's, a Panasonic AG-DVC80, and a Panasonic DVX100. They all seem to be somewhat equal in capability. (within reasonable comparison to each other)
Anyway, I've assembled 20-30 WWII impressionists for a re-creation of a battle gone wrong in North West Africa 1943. In one scene, one of the veterans tells of how Rommel's 10th Panzer caught their platoon in open ground, and laid deadly artillery fire upon them.
We cannot use explosive charges, but I can simulate shells landing nearby by their reactions, perhaps camera movement, and of course sound effects. I've tried a few settings in 'Live Type', but I can't seem to get the right effect.
Was wondering if anyone has ever tried to shake physically shake the camera? Is this a 'controlled science'?
Thank you

Camera shake can be done manually or siulated. If it's done on set, you are stuck with the baked-in effect. Do it in post.
You probably already have Motion but you will want to get After Effects. This kind of psuedodoc usually requires tons of effects. And you must anticipate the expectations and sophistication of your audience to establish the credibility and therefore expense of your effects sequences.

Violent Shudder (Artillery Blast) simulation

24P VS 29.97 WWII Documentary

Hello all
(I'm really sorry for posting this twice - but it looks like this may have been a better place to post this, as no one responded the other post)
I've gotten a lot of help here in the past and I really appreciate it...
As I'm getting ready to shoot a re-creation of a battle that took place in North West Africa in 1943, I've hired a few cameras besides using my own GL2; using a few 'other' Cannon GL2's, a Panasonic AG-DVC80, and a Panasonic DVX100. They all seem to be somewhat equal in capability. (within reasonable comparison to each other)
These cameras are of course Non-HD, (it's all I can obtain), and all (except the DVX100), are NOT capable of shooting in 24P.
I've heard different things about 24P, but make no mistake here, I'm restricted to using standard 29.97 - I've only got access to cameras that shoot in 29.97
Is that such a bad thing?
Well, as recommended here, I bought the Nattress Filter Package that has many options for creating varying intensity of 'Grain'
I've already made a 10 minute segment of WWII impresionists, and it came out quite well with the Nattress filters. The downside is the lengthy render time with filter attributes copied to many many frames ...
I've also heard that with 24P (although it may look more like film), can be problematic in that it may produce an undesirable 'stepped effect' in regard to action and fast movement.
Any other thoughts on this?

Thanx

I think there's exactly two reasons to shoot 24p.
1. You're printing back to film in the end.
2. You plan a very long show that has to be burned to a single sided DVD, so you can cram more time on your DVD with fewer frames per second...
In all other repects 24fps is inferior to 30fps... it has judder... i.e. fast movement looks pretty bad. 30fps looks smoother in every respect. There's a lot more to a film look than just 24fps... shallower depth of field, and a higher contrast ratio for starters.
The idea that 24fps looks better is an "Emperor's New Clothes" situation imho.

Help With Date driven report

I am trying to generate a list of the programs on all channels for a specific day showing the channel number, supplier, package, program name, rating code, and show time. This will be similar to a program guide, only not package specific. This is a date-driven report, therefore it should only display programs for a single date specified.
[code/]SELECT DISTINCT
S.PROGTIME AS "SHOWTIME",
S.PROGNAME AS "PROGRAM TITLE",
C.CHNUM AS "CHANNEL #",
SU.SUPNAME AS "SUPPLIER",
R.RATINGDESCRIPT AS "RATING"
FROM SCHEDULE S
CROSS JOIN CHANNELS C
CROSS JOIN SUPPLIERS SU
INNER JOIN PROGRAM P ON P.PROGNAME = S.PROGNAME
INNER JOIN CHANNEL_PACKAGE CP ON CP.CHID = S.CHID
INNER JOIN RATING R ON R.RATINGID = P.RATINGID
WHERE S.PROGTIME='18-DEC-10'
ORDER BY C.CHNUM
Which gives me an undesired resulT containg rows that put names of all channels with each channel number and ends up outputting 3016 rows which there should be only 29.
I don't know how to add my script file here since there is no option for an attachment.

Ok here is my syntax I have been working on
SELECT DISTINCT
S.PROGTIME AS "SHOWTIME",
S.PROGNAME AS "PROGRAM TITLE",
C.CHNUM AS "CHANNEL #",
SU.SUPNAME AS "SUPPLIER",
R.RATINGCODE AS "RATING"

CROSS JOIN CHANNELS C
CROSS JOIN SUPPLIERS SU
INNER JOIN PROGRAM P ON P.PROGNAME = S.PROGNAME
INNER JOIN CHANNEL_PACKAGE CP ON CP.CHID = S.CHID
INNER JOIN RATING R ON R.RATINGID = P.RATINGID

JPEG? TIFF? PNG? PCT? Best still format to use in FCP7???

I'm making a WWII documentary that will feature a lot of pans and zooms on stills. My sequence setting is DV-NTSC, 480i.
I'd like to know the best Photoshop still format I should be using. I've heard that TIFF is best but it also happens to take up a lot more memory than for example JPEG, PCT or PNG. One photo I have that is only 233KB as a jpeg, 450KB as pct and 800 as a png file is a whopping 25MB as a tiff!
So if I plan to do any zooming or panning, will tiff files slow down FCP7.
What is the best photoshop format for large stills to be panned on and zoomed into?
Thanks very much in advance,
- Nick

If I'm reading Studio X correctly, JPEG would actually be slower since FCP would need to decompress each image as it's opened in addition to whatever video processing is done. The TIFF would only need to be read in. But that impact would only be upon initial load.
One way to speed things up is to divide and conquer. The more images you have in a sequence and the more sequences you have open, the more FCP will slow down. It's not just opening the images but creating the thumbnails used in the timeline that seems to take time. It would be better to split up your final output into several sequences with a smaller number of images in each one. How you split it would depend on content. I usually also split up large projects into several sequences to speed up any rework I encounter after compression. If you find some small error in the DVD (like a misspelled name for example), it's short work to fix that one sequence and re-compress than to have to re-compress the entire project again.

Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop - Keyframe Animation

Hello Hello
(Perhaps Tom is reading this)
Well I've spent many many hours using FCE 3.5, and I can honestly say (although I really love it), I still find that Keyframe Animation does not appear as reliable as iMovie's engine for creating good steady Pans and Zooms.
But I won't give up on it if I can just find a way to make it work consistently and accurately.
My work (for my WWII documentary), requires slow and steady pans and zooms .....
Wondering if this particular Tom Wolsky tutorial particularly specializes in working with Keyframe to create pans and zooms?
http://www.fcpbook.com/FCE2%20Editing%20Workshop.html
Most other DVD tutorials lack any concentration specifically relating to Key Framing....
Thank you
Mike

Hello Martin
I've always said that you are a gentleman.
Why do I say that?
Because unlike yourself, (although I'm getting pretty good with FCE), I don't have quite the same number of hours, nor posts, logged in here and as you and Tom Wolsky.
But I've felt for quite some time now, that unfortunately as professional as Final Cut is, 'Keyframe' just does not have the same stability nor reliability as iMovie.
And I'm honored and relieved to hear that you actually agree.
I've put many hours in on this problem. I've also tried other programs like "Photo to Movie" which will smooth out the jagged edges of a zoomed still (another issue), but will take away the crispness and clarity of a still that iMovie offers.
Yes these tips provided by Ken Stone are helpful and I thank you. 'They are really nice'
But I think, for really smooth and steady pans, and zooms I will stick to iMovie (at least for now)
Thanx again Martin
Mike

MPEG Stream Clip Export Settings

Happy New Year!
I've been working on a WWII documentary.
You guys turned me onto a really nifty piece of software which I use occasionally; MPEG Stream Clip
It's great - just wanna make sure I'm using the right export settings for re-importing a piece of film back into FCP.
I assumed it was best to export as a Quick Time File rather than a DV. Why? Because it seems the DV export puts compression on the clip. In 'Options' I also choose Apple DVCPRO-NTSC
Take a look;

Thanx
Mike

*just wanna make sure I'm using the right export settings for re-importing a piece of film back into FCP.*
If you're working in a DV NTSC timeline then you are doing it right. the Streamclip option for dv creates a dv stream which is not the same thing as a DV NTSC Quicktime Movie.

Solid Layer Shape messed up

Hi, I am trying to create an energy beam/blast for a project. I created an ellipse shape on my solid layer but when I try to expand the shape with the pen tool it becomes a rectangle. I am not sure what I did wrong but here is a screen shot of the problem. Help would be much appreciated.

It works as it is supposed to - your solid is simply too small and outside the bounds there are no visible pixels when the mask goes over the edge.

Broadcast titles in Photoshop?

I am creating titles for a dv source documentary edited in FCP which need to be broadcast quality. The film will be shown on television, DVD, theatrically on video and quite possibly theatrically on film (after transfer).
I have LiveType and Motion but am inexperienced in those programs. Is Photoshop capable of creating type that will be of the highest quality and color fidelity for broadcast? Do I need to think ahead for a possible film transfer? If I do use Photoshop, which settings should I use 8 or 16-bit, etc. The FCP project is dv NTSC codec, and I have read about and experienced the limitations with type in this codec. Is it worth quickly learning Motion or LiveType to create the type in?
Any help greatly appreciated. I've looked around the board but haven't found a satisfying answer. I want to make sure I don't make a decision I regret later.
Thank you
Patrick

Forgive me if this is not the answer your looking for, but I don't see how Photoshop is a true substitute for either Motion or LiveType. That is, Motion and LiveType are all about creating animated titling while Photoshop is for creating titling elements which then need to be animated in either Motion, LiveType or FCP.
Photoshop is a very capable piece of software and is more than up to any challenge when it comes to creating lush, professional titles, but it's not a substitute for Motion or LiveType.
Perhaps if we had a clearer idea of what you hope to accomplish -- care to describe the kind(s) of effect(s) you're looking to create? -- we could be more help.

Time to buy FCP X?

I'm hoping the community can help me with a decision.
I am not a professional editor. I consider myself a serious hobbyist, creating multi-cam “event videography” or documentary videography (as opposed to fictional narrative/story-telling type of movie making).
I was very excited when I watched the NAB video demonstrating FCP X, and was anxious to purchase it when it was released, hoping I would get affordable access to simplified color correction and the ability to view multi-camera shots (I assumed, since it had been a part of FCS).
I have read many postings about FCP X, many of which focused on complaints about this new version. Two things that sent up red flags for me:
FCP X does not allow the user to set the scratch disc. Does this limitation have something to do with how the program utilizes the 64-bit/multi-core features of the newer Macs?And
There is no multi-cam view editing (at least nothing that I can't do now with FCE).
Several posts have suggested that Apple has assured users that the multi-cam editing feature will be included in future upgrades/versions, although I've personally been unable to find anything about this provided directly from the Apple web site.
I'm very familiar, (although by no means an expert) with FCE. I am not at all familiar with iMovie.
In your opinion, should I purchase FCPX and start learning it, with whatever shortcomings exist (and with crossed fingers that multi-cam will be added in the future)
OR
start using iMovie to help familiarize myself with that software's “architecture”--if that's the correct use of the term—in anticipation of the “new and improved FCP X” due sometime in the future (and in the meantime, spend my money on a Blu-ray burner or another external hard drive)?
Thanks for your time and input.
Gary

I'm not sure this will help you.
I have never used fce, I have never used iMovie. I opened iMovie for the first time ever about 6 months ago - too weird and closed it after about 15 mins.
I have used fcp since 1.5 and am familiar/comfortble/profficient with it. I used to be full-time in video editing/camera/production but not all that busy in that area for a couple of years.
I am not going to install fcpx 'til it's fixed or at least until there's a clear sign that Apple are going to reinstate the missing features from Fcp 7. Heck why bother to learn it if they don't reinstate them - it'll become some ******* child of the editing world. No use in a production environment.
AAPL look like they're trying to reinvent the wheel with this release - and reposition the product altogether.
I'll wait until it becomes clear - because I can. Other users will not want to wait and have to move to whatever tool works for them in their workflow.
It may be perfect for you.

AE CS5: My Illustrator map is totally blurry after applying CC Sphere

Please see these screen grabs.
Please download the images to see them full size.
I have a vector map of the world that I created in Adobe Illustrator for a documentary about World War I.
But when I wrap my map around the "CC Sphere" to create a globe, any dolly in/zoom in/scale up causes the borders of the states to become totally blurry. This DOESN'T happen when the map is in 2D. Notice that in the screen grab "MAP-SHARP BORDERS" I have upscaled my map to 700% and it remains tack sharp because it's a vector map. So why isn't this the case after applying the CC Sphere effect?
Am I even using the right plug-in??? I thought that CC Sphere was the way to go to wrap a map round a globe. But I want to be able to zoom in without getting a blurry image. Even though I have "continuously rasterize" turned on, it doesn't seem to work with CC Sphere.
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

Keyboard shortcuts for tags not working

I'm working on a WWII documentary and using Prelude to assign lots of markers, including tags for historical figures who appear very frequently in the WWII newsreels such as "Rommel" and "Hitler"
Not sure why, but when I assign any keyboard shortcut for a custom tag, the shortcut doesn't work, please see here:
I decided to assign "3" for the Hitler tag, but any shortcut I assign for any tag, just doesn't work. Yet it seems that you can assign keyboard shortcuts even for tags, and the Prelude help manual says you can:

Hi -
In order to support keyboard shortcuts for the Tag Panel we needed to implement a bit of a unique method. The Tag Panel itself does indeed need to have focus in order for it's keyboard shortcuts to activate. The core reason for this is to remove the potential for keyboard shortcut conflicts between the rest of the app the those stored within a Tag template. Remember, you can share Tag Templates across system and with other users. and each template can contain it's own shortcut definitions. The only way to prevent conflicts is to enforce the focus rule.
the recommended workflow is to open a clip and set focus to the Tag Panel. From the Tag Panel all of the Transport Controls (JKL, SPACE BAR for play/pause, etc.) will still function when the Tag Panel has focus. So you should still be able to review your clips and apply Tags via shortcut.
Let me know how this works. We are always looking to improve workflows so if you come up with some improvement ideas please share.

Michael

Audio transitions missing when combining sequences - Premiere CC 8.1 Caravan

Audio effects not following when one sequence is pasted into another - Premiere CC 8.1 Caravan
When I finish sequences "A," "B," and "C," and I wish to make a new sequence (sequence "D") that has parts of sequence A, B, and C, I load any of the three sequences into the source monitor and then use the insert/overwrite to paste into sequence D. When playing A, B, or C in the source monitor, everything sounds fine. When I insert (or overlay) those segments into new sequence "D," audio transitions (such as exponential audio transitions to fade in/out music) are missing. So on sequence "D," any audio transitions from sequences A, B, or C do not follow.
I just confirmed that this problem does not exist in Premiere CS6. All audio transitions follow from one sequence that is pasted into another.
In CC, I re-created the problem by putting an exponential fade in and fade out on a clip of music on sequence A, and it works just fine. I then pasted that sequence into sequence D. At the point of the transition, the music does not fade in at the beginning, but just stays muted until after the fade-in transition, then pops in full. Then at the fade out, the audio does fade, but it is full of digital static.
I did this same test in CS6 (same machine) and everything works fine. All transitions and effects are perfect.
I just noted this the other day when creating a highlight sequence of a documentary we are producing. I noticed that sound bites were cutting in abruptly. This is a serious problem.
Can anyone else recreate this issue?

Hey KMueller - neat thinking.
Before reporting - I did try the drag / drop, then the import, then the media browser options and they all ended up the same.
Using your idea, I just straight forward made a copy / paste of the file in the folder it sits in, then dragged that over and hey presto - it came in with audio...
The icon representing the original file says video only still - but the icon representing the "copy" of the same file has a video & audio icon - and it plays ball on the timeline.
Thanks
Dave

How do you embed an image inside an animated arrow in Motion?

I just designed an arrow by using the b-spline tool and selected "arrow" for my end-cap.
Is it possible to embed an image into my arrow?
I am working on a WWII documentary about North Africa and I have this map animation sequence of North Africa where I need arrows (armies) to have the British, American, Nazi flags embedded into them. I have no idea how to do this. Please any hlep would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
- Nicholas

Howdy,
Adam pretty much described this, already. You want to take a flag image (or maybe a tiled grid of a bunch of little flags, whatever), then apply and image mask to it, then make the arrow shape the reference for the mask. One more time for the people in the cheap seats:
1. Apply an image mask to the flags (Object->Add Image Mask or CmdShftM).
2. Select the image mask object and view the Image Mask tab in the Inspector.
3. From the Layers List, drag-and-drop the arrow shape into the Mask Source image well.
By default, the mask is applied with Stencil enabled (also found in the Inspector), so the mask will be lined up with the position of your arrow shape object.

After Effects animated counter using point control counts up then down then up, why???

I'm trying to make some animated counters showing the number of victims killed in the Holocaust for WWII documentary. Most of my animated counters are working. But for some reason, the animated counter for Norway isn't.
I need for the counter to go from 0 to 890. But instead it shoots up to nearly 7,000 in the middle only to go down in order to get to 890. I have no idea what's causing this. But here are my settings:

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you very much. Correct, I set the first frame to bezier, but not sure why that would cause the numbers prior to the end to be higher than the end number. By setting the first keyframe to bezier, I was hoping to have the animation begin slowly and then increase in speed. But for some reason it's also giving me a higher number mid-way than the end number.
