How to get the cinematic look with FCE 4?

I have an hdr-sr 10 camera with avchd and am using FCE 4.
How or what are the steps I need to take to get that film or cinematic look? Is there a special combination of filters I need to use? Is there a setting on the camera I need to use as well?
Mike

Light the scene carefully.
Turn off detail enhancement on the camera.
Never zoom; move the camera instead--using a home-made dolly, for example.
Try to set up your shots to decrease depth of field,
by setting your aperture to the smallest number (f1.8)
and keeping your optical zoom maxed out--if possible.
Use zebra stripes; never overexpose.
Shoot multiple takes from different angles.
Get your microphone close to the talent.
Turn off auto-focus and auto-exposure.
Turn on Progressive Shutter Mode.
Use a tripod to make sure your establishing shots are rock steady.
Edit without dissolves, unless you're showing the passage of time.
Check out whether these filters will work with FCE4:

Go to Ken Stone's site, and scroll down to Film Look:

When shooting, wear a beret.

How to get a cinematic look?

I just did a small 4 minute movie in FCE 4 and would like to get a cinematic look. There's actually a function on my camera (Canon HF 100) to get this type of look along with using a frame rate of PF24 but I didn't use it.
Is there a certain video filter I can use to try to obtain this type of look?

Good thing you didn't use the 24p mode on your camcorder, because FCE doesn't work with 24p footage.
Try looking over this thread and see if it's of any use:

How to get the same look as flash for borders?

Hi i have selected circle and filled the circle with some color. now i want to have border around the circle so i have saelected stroke from the edit menu and applied with one pixel. how ever it is not giving a solid look as in flash. in photoshop the border looks like disolved and transparent. is there a way to get the same look as flash?

Look at the image. i have described everything there in the image itself. even when we use layer style it is the same problem. is there a way to resolve this? the text in the image is as below.
if u carefully observe the circle pointed there is a slight gap between the border and the filled color. This is not good. i dont want any gaps between the border and the filled color. I have used bucket to fill the circle and used stroke from edit menu to get the border for the circle.

How to get the application expose with a mouse

Hi,
I want to get a quick overview of all open windows of the SAME application (= application expose). Normally, you can do this with your trackpad (three or four fingers down movement); I am now working with a "normal" (non-Apple) mouse and keyboard. How do I get the application expose with the mouse? I am able to quickly get the misson control wiht CTRL + right mouse click; and I am getting the App expose with shift + arrow down.
Isn't there a way to get the application expose with the mouse as well? E.g. CTRL + Shift + right click would be very useful but that's taken by the 'slow moving' mission control.
I know, it's a minor detail but it would be quite good for the workflow
Any hint is most welcome. Many thanks.

How they create the cinematic look (Basic Film Question)

Just wondering how real cinema is done with digital cameras. Is it filters, or their cameras, or programs which clean the colors and image up, like After Effects, or all of the above? Seeing all digital movies like "Inland empire" was a little disappointing because the digital look is, well, TOO realistic.
Traditional film in most movies for the last two decades always has the same feel, where it's not familiar enough to resemble a home movie, but close enough that you can identify with it.
Anyways, I'm just pondering the potentials of my low budget and access to these great programs, such as FCP and AE, and I wanted to know if it is indeed possible to create what we see from modern films with our humble means. Phew.
thanks.

I think it comes down to a couple of things. Film has grain. (but you could add that to the RED shots an get it that way if that's what you want).
The other thing that will replace film is plain dollars and sense. You can buy 24 RED One setups with the cost savings of a major motion picture's film stock/processing/telecine costs. With the general public not being able to tell the difference (heck most of them can't tell the difference between video and film now), Hollywood is gonna take those savings. They already are actually... there are many films right now in production using RED ONE... and if it makes the bucks that a film shoot does, trust me, producers are going to start wanting RED shoots instead of 35...
The situation reminds me a lot of the time when Hollywood editors wouldn't touch an Avid, because they said they "needed" to feel the freaking celluloid. PLEEZE... the real reason was they were computer illiterate and quite frankly, they were too lazy to get up to speed. It wasn't until the younger editors began to get it that Avid began to take hold in motion picture production. Took years for this in fact. The same thing is going on right now with DP's and RED. I think it scares them a bit and there's that old "film is better than video" thing that still pervades.
Content is king. Doesn't matter what you shot on.

How to get the search field with API UCM for a specific UCM Profil

We have UCM 10g
For the checkIn we have for exemple the URL : http://xp-ucm1.oth.prs/idc/idcplg?IdcService=CHECKIN_NEW_FORM&dpTriggerValue=1&dpDisplayLabel=Codification%201&IsSoap=1
To obtain all the field for the checkIn is very simple with this service(IdcService=CHECKIN_NEW_FORM) and RIDC, but for search we don't find the idc service ?
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
−
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
−
<idc:service IdcService="CHECKIN_NEW_FORM">
−
<idc:document dRevLabel="1" dUser="sysadmin" dDocName="" dDocTitle="">
<idc:field name="xClbraUserList:isExcluded">1</idc:field>
<idc:field name="xsgti_top_rule:isSetDefault">1</idc:field>
<idc:field name="xlist1:isExcluded">1</idc:field>
<idc:field name="xsgti_g_ll_niv1_1:isExcluded">1</idc:field>
<idc:field name="xsgti_chrono_soc"/>
<idc:field name="xsgti_g_entier4:isExcluded">1</idc:field>
any ideas

Hi,
In fact, I don't want to send parameters to the search service but to get the fields to display an advanced search form of my own.
Some rules and profiles filters the amount of fields availables and having a service that can do this filtering for me would be very useful.
The check-in service do this for a trigger value (profile), but I can't find how UCM uses services to display the search form with the right fields depending on the rules and rights of the user.
When I call a search form, UCM calls a service : http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx/idc/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DOC_PAGE&Action=GetTemplatePage&Page=STANDARD_QUERY_PAGE&dpTriggerValue=xxx&dpDisplayLabel=xxx
But with &IsSoap=1, the values returned are not good, some fields are missing, the field captions are not right... I guess UCM calls sub-services but which ones ?
Thanks :)

How to get the funds credit with the cancellation of the update for old acc

i just cancelled my old email and mac.com account. Now here is the question. How can I get the funds refunded back into my checking account when the upgrade made to the old account is now interrupted due to the fact that my previous mac.com is invalidated due to the new mac.com account that has been created and with the current update included?

This forum is for discussing issues related to the Mail & Address Book applications included with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Yours appears to be a .Mac issue that has nothing to do with Mac OS X’s Mail. If that’s the case, the right forum for such questions would be one of the .Mac Forums, such as .Mac General, for example.

How to get the JMenuBar associated with a JMenuItem?

How do I get the JMenuBar (or JFrame) associated with
a JMenuItem?
The JMenuItem is in a subMenu of a JMenu on the JMenuBar.

Hi,
JMenuBar is extending from the container class,
When a menuItem is added to it,You can get the instance of JMenuBar by type casting the getParent method on JMenuItem
ie..
JMenuItem mi1 = new JMenuItem();
JMenuBar jm = new JMenuBar();
jm.add(mi1);
JMenuBar jm2 = (JMenuBar) mi1.getParent();
Hope this helps

in search of the best looking photoslide show DVD to view on a TV..... a couple more questions
if I understand some of the recent posts to get a clear picture:
Question #1
I need to import all of the photos into photoshop CS (or a similar product) and resize them to 1280 x 960 (4:3)ratio then open iDVD and import them.
If I am doing Ken Burn effects then resize them to 2560 x 1920 and use "Photo to Movie" to create the slideshow then import into iDVD (to get a cool menu)
can you just bring the images in from iphoto (in the same format that they were imported from the camera)?
I am using a Nikon D70 6.0 megapixel
Question #2
If I burn the disc in iDVD... it is not as good as using Disk utility or Toast because of the burn speed (2X) ... is this correct?

How to get the publish method with server side actionscript?

We publish this way at client side:
ns.publish(name, howToPublish);
How to get this howToPublish at server side?
application.onPublish = function(){
//how to know whether the stream's publishing method(live,record,append) here?

I am not sure whether you can know mode of publish via SSAS, best way would be to use Authorisation Plug-in which can intercept you publish request and get the information which you need - in this case mode of publishing.

How to get a "film" look with video

I'm hoping someone can help me find a thread from the archives that I had seen recently, but now cannot find.
The process that was described included "doubling" the video track, then offsetting V2 by one frame (?) then de-interlacing....or something like that.
If that sounds familiar to anyone, and if you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I can't remember if it had been a thread in the "FCE" discussions or "Pro Video" section, but I can't seem to find it in my searches.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Gary

Thanks. I checked out the web site, and although it only refers to FCP, I assume "Film Effects" is compatible with FCE HD v3 as well.
I appreciate the info.

How to get the entire trace with dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace

Hi,
I made 35 procedures where test35 is
calling test34 and test34 is calling test33 etc.
division-by-zero is in test1 and format_error_backtrace shows the trace up to test31.
Just curious, is it possible to get the entire trace?
Thanks
An example
SQL> BEGIN
2 EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create or replace procedure test1 as a number; begin a:=1/0; end;';
3 FOR i IN 2..35 LOOP
4   execute immediate 'create or replace procedure test'||i||' as begin test'||(i-1)||'; end;';
5 END LOOP;
6 END;
7 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> BEGIN
2    test35;
3 EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
4   dbms_output.put_line(dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace);
5 END;
6 /
ORA-06512: at "ANTS.TEST1", line 1
ORA-06512: at "ANTS.TEST2", line 1
ORA-06512: at "ANTS.TEST30", line 1
ORA-06512: at
"ANTS.TEST31", line 1
ORA-06512: at line 2

Out of interest, do you get any further back if each error message is shorter (e.g. a shorter procedure name)? From a quick test, SQLERRM is limited to 510 characters (doubtless documented somewhere though I can't find it just now) - the documentation says FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE is not subject to the same size limitation, but that doesn't mean there is no size limitation.
