Matching part of a live-action footage with 3d perspective

Hi!, just a simple trouble... hope so...
I have a live-action footage showing the stage of a theater from the stage perspective. The stage has two parts, one lower than the other. The footage has no movement, the only thing i need to do is moving up the lower level, to match the upper level. I've been trying to do it just by 'eyeballing it". I duplicated the layer, mask the lower level, activated the 3d box in the layer, and tried to make the effect just by make keyframes and combining position and x rotation. But i just painful.. i just dont get it...

Hi Craig, i've been trying to shift up the layer, with a mask, the problem i'm having is that doesnt match the perspective of the frame, and when i try to softly rotate the layer as is goes up, its just doesnt look real. The idea is make a bigger bottom layer by precomposing and painting/cloning/stretching, so when its moved on 3d near to the horizon line i still have visible floor, thanxs anyway?

  • How to add live action video to the timeline in Adobe Flash CS5?

    Hi, I want to make an animation over live action footage, I've looked on the guides and the ones which explain what I need to do are for previous versions of Flash and don't work on CS5.
    I'm wondering how I can import a video in to Adobe Flash CS5, so that it plays in the timeline frame by frame? I dont mean putting it on one frame so it will play, but so i can edit objects over the top of the flash in each single frame
    Thanks.

    So are you saying that you cannot embed the video directly into the main timeline (I don't use CS5) as you could with earlier versions?
    Overall I wonder if you are using the wrong tool for the job. Flash is not a video editor and attempts to use it as such often fall short. Adobe After Effects or even a simple video editor may work better:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html
    If that is not an option... how about
    .... embed video directly into main timeline... or
    ... convert video file to .swf, then import .swf... extending timeline as needed..... or
    ... if vid is short, do frame grab for each frame, save as bitmap, import the series of bitmaps, place them on layer below animation... or
    but to keep the video synced to the animation, you'll need to set the Flash doc frame rate to exactly the same as the original framerate of the video. For example, if shot in mini-dv format, the frame rate of the video is 29.97 so the Flash doc frame rate would need to be 29.97 also.
    Best of luck,

  • Triangular poly filter for live action?

    Is there a filter that yields a triangular poly look to a live action clip with the polys following the natural contour of the imagery...similar to a low res 3D render?

    It would be fantastic if someone cracked that, would it not? No, short of experimental 3D reconstruction software or things like the various Kinext experiments there is no such software that I'm aware of and even if there were, to get a proper polygon flow you'd need more than one view. Y'know, self-intersections and other ambiguous situations that won't work from just one fixed angle...

  • Match Footage with Sequence Preset?

    I got some problem with matching my imported footage with my Sequence Presets. I'm new to
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have tried to read me to a solution here on the forum but need some more help.
    I have found some similar topics and can confirm that my problem is most likely caused by a mismatch between my Sequence settings and the source.
    Can someone maybe guide me through the sequese presets step by step and the general specs as well to create a good editing base for my project.
    I read that G-Spot was a good tool to get all info of the source file and here´s the source file properties I would like to match:
    I want the best possible quality out of my filmed footage, booth video and audio but I don't really know how to match those settings.
    I really appreciate all help I can get here.

    Welcome to the forum.
    One should go about this in the opposite direction - matching the Sequence Preset to the footage.
    It looks like you have PAL Widescreen, and that would be the Preset to choose.
    If one has odd footage, PrPro provides a way to alter the Sequence Preset - the Desktop Preset, which allows one to customize most attributes to match. Say that you have that same footage, except that it was shot at 18 FPS (not the normal 25 FPS), in the Desktop Preset, you could change to 18 FPS. That holds for more attributes.
    Then, if one wants something else, when the Export, most formats/CODEC's will allow them to make the change there.
    Starting with a Preset that matches the footage 100% will give the best editing experience, and the fewest issues.
    One note: you are dealing with MPEG-2 footage, so it has already been pretty heavily compressed, resulting in an initial loss in quality. With most Export options, one will compress that footage again, resulting in another loss in quality. The ultimate workflow would be to go back to before the MPEG-2 compression, if at all possible. If not, then one just has to live with the quality loss.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps,
    Hunt
    [Edit] I see that you have AC3 Audio. That might, or might not pose an issue. What exact version of PrPro do you have? With about CS4.2, AC3 Audio support was built into the program. Before that, one had to find the AC3 .dll file in Encore, and copy it over to the main PrPro folder. The exact name of that .dll file depends on the version of PrPro and Encore, that one has.

  • Post serialized part from free to block stock with a follow up action

    Hi,
    I try to post a serialized part from free to block stock, but the standard function modules QMLR_FREE_TO_BLOCKED_STOCK,  QMLR_FREE_TO_BLOCKED_STOCK_ST2 work good with not serialized parts, but it doesn't works with serialized one.
    I create quality notification with serial number reference in RQM00-SERIALNR field, when I execute the follow-up function the M7175 error message appears.
    Someone know a solution to this issue?
    Thanks
    Marianna

    Hi The standard FM will not update the serial no for the material. So when you are doing the material movement through follow up action system can not move the material with out serial no. So you can change the functional module aith help of abaper to fetch the data from quality notification field.

  • Can't match footage with (custom) Preset in CS3

    I've captured footage from my Hi8 Sony Camera using Honestech VHS to DVD device.
    Setting were to capture in SVCD. I chose this to optimize file size and this should accommodate the 420 lines from the Hi8.
    Next I create a new project but no Presets are offered to match this format.
    If I import the footage with having chosen any preset then in the project panel the imported footage shows as the following:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 664.8 MB
    Image Size: 480 x 576
    Pixel Depth: 480
    Frame Rate: 25.00
    Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:33:22:24
    Average Data Rate: 339 KB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.6
    There is no preset for this and if I choose Desktop ion Custom Setting and enter the 480 x 576 there is no choice for the 1.6 PAR. The result is the video is truncated in the horizontal.
    The alternative seem to be to capture in DVD format giving the following result:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 4.1 GB
    Image Size: 720 x 576
    Pixel Depth: 720
    Frame Rate: 25.00
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 01:09:02:08
    Average Data Rate: 1.0 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.066
    However this gives a much larger and unneccesary file size.
    Can anyone help out here?

    I do not think you will get a settings that will match SVCD its rather obselete.
    You have to capture in DVD mpeg 720x576, this is quite common.
    You will have to get a larger disk if you cannot store this file.
    4 gig is not large these days.

  • I have a sequence on tcp that is Standard Def. I have a new set of files in High Def that match the old files. I would like to replace all the SD footage with the HD footage. Anyone know of a workflow to do this task?

    I have a sequence on tcp that is Standard Def. I have a new set of files in High Def that match the old SD files. I would like to replace all the SD footage with the HD footage. Anyone know of a workflow to do this task?

    Do a media manage of the sequence converting the files to the appropriate HD format making the clips offline.  Then simply reconnect the offline clips to the HD clips.  There may be issues in the file names, but they can usually be worked out either with the naming options in media manager or renaming your hd files.  There are many utilities that allow you to batch rename files. 

  • Action footage edited in FCP Express is choppy in iDVD 6.0.3

    Hello...
    I have edited action footage (featuring football) in Final Cut Express and the exported it as a .mov file. When I played the .mov file from Quicktime, it plays great. But, when I imported my movie into iDVD, burned it to a DVD+R, and watched it on a regular DVD player, the action footage was very choppy. Sometimes there were "ghost trails" behind the football players' running shots, and at certain parts the movement seemed sped up and almost like a "cartoony speed" - if that makes any sense.
    So, I tried a few more times with the same bad results
    Does anyone know how to go about fixing this problem? Thank you so much in advance for your feedback!
    ...Rae

    Rae,
    Your problem may just be the result of MPG-2 compression artifacts. Rather than making your 'burn' from iDVD to writable media, 'burn' to a disk image file (an option under File in iDVD). This will create a version of your final DVD on your desktop. Use Apple's DVD Player application to play the image file on your computer. If you still see the ghosting/choppy playback then you have a content problem. If the disk image plays with no problems, then you had a problem writing the digital data to the writable DVD media that led to a lot of burn errors. Use Apple's Disk Utility to burn the image to writable media. See Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD in Mac OS X at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
    Using good quality media (Verbatim or Maxell) and make the burn at 4x or slower. Disk Utility allows you to adjust the burn rate, while iDVD doesn't.

  • Can I video capture 'live action' from Viewer screen ...

    Can I capture 'live action ' video as it appears on the 'viewer screen' in iMovie as I move the cursor across the 'source video' clips. Does iMovie allow me to record this 'action' to hard drive ?? ... Suggestions greatly appreciated.

    it is this 'rapidly changing 'still' images' as it appears in the 'viewer' that I want to record.
    You could use a screen capture application like Snapz ProX to capture the "preview" window as it is either playing or being "scrubbed." On the other hand, if you have QT Pro, you could also export the original source clip as a sequence of still images (image frequency can be selected by the user) to a folder and then simply open the "Image Sequence" using QT Pro to create a motion clip with a user selected frame rate for viewing. This approach would provide a more even playback than a screen capture of a "scrubbed" playback which depends on how fast and steadily you "scrub" the file.

  • Uses for the Action Property with SQL and Oracle DB Adapters

    This thread is a complement to the Wiki Article
    BizTalk: Streamlining WCF SQL and Oracle Messaging-Only and Other Patterns
    The question.  In what circumstances is explicitly setting the Action value with the WCF SQL and Oracle DB bindings useful or beneficial. 
    A complimentary question.  Is it even possible to set the Action value to anything other than exactly what is required by the Message.
    I ask because of three very specific behaviors of the bindings themselves:
    The binding enforces a match between the Action and the Message, therefore...
    There is a one-to-one relationship between the Message and Action, but...
    The binding is able to correctly derive and perform the requested operation with the unspecific CompositeOperation.
    For clarity, I understand how to set the Action. I. understand what the Action represents in the SOAP scheme. I understand how Action can be used as an abstraction for SOAP operations.
    Thoughts?

    Do you have any good suggestion to learn how to use action property with SQL and Oracle DB adapters?  I learn a lot from your replies for years in BizTalk forum. :)

  • Place an Effect on part of a live group

    Hey all! I'm having an issue I was hoping to find help with.
    I have two parallel lines that I have an effect applied to (zig zag). These lines intersect with two straight parallel lines. I need to paint the box they create. I selected all my lines and created a live group and when I go to paint I get a warning message. All complex visual effects (zig zag) will be removed in order to use live paint. So I figure, 'ok, I'll apply the affect afterwards.'t I only need the zig zag on 2 of the 4 lines, but no matter what I try, once they are a part of that live paint group the effect will apply itself to all four lines. Is there some way that I'm missing? The only thing I can think of at this point it to use the pen tool and to create a line with 100+ tight curves, but that will be extremely time consuming and won't come out as clean and nice looking as the zig zag effect.
    Thanks for any help you guys can give!

    Select the zig zag lines. Choose Object > Expand Appearance... then proceed with Live Paint and what you were trying.
    You have to make the effect permanent in order to keep the appearance and use Live Paint.

  • Ingesting P2 footage with Prelude

    I'm ingesting P2 footage with Prelude (CS6). The first few seconds of the transferred footage have digital hits.
    I've opened the same footage in an old copy of FCP and it's clean. Any idea what to do about it?

    I'm transcoding to P2 and in the process transferring the files from an external storage drive to a working drive on my desktop. (I've used this process before and it worked fine. I'm on a Mac and did upgrade the operating system.)
    The hits are chunky horizontal lines which sometimes may include parts of the shot that are seconds ahead. It lasts a few seconds and goes away. I can post a bit if you like.

  • Importing 3D objects to animate within live action

    Regarding motion tracking, I'd like to import a 3D model of a robot and interact it with live action characters in a scene. Nothing too complicated - it hovers around but, it needs to be in 3D space for realism. What I've read of tracking, I can put an object in a scene and lock it down through camera movement and such. I would imagine the rotobrush tool will come in handy for this process. I just haven't wrapped my brain around how to animate this robot in a scene where the camera may be moving. Any suggestions?

    3d tracking a scene is never "nothing too complicated".
    The most important step is having a good script.
    Other steps following that will include planning, storyboarding, shooting the scene (with enough tracking markers - or trackable elements - in the right places in the shot), shooting a clean plate (also, take the chance to grab some ambient room noise for your audio editing later), and shooting an HDRI - note: this is not an all-inclusive list.
    That was all just pre-production and production.
    Steps in post would include tracking the shot, modeling the 3d elements, texturing the 3d elements, lighting the 3d elements, animating the 3d elements, rendering the 3d elements and their various passes (object buffers, ambient occlusion, shadows, lights, motion vectors, depth pass, etc.), compositing your 3d elements into the scene (which will involve color correction and may or may not involve keying, rotoscoping, and other techniques - you'll figure this out during the planning stages), rendering out your composite in a proper intermediate codec, bringing your final shot into your editing program, adding sound design, color grading, and producing a finished file in the correct delivery codec. Again, there is more to it than this, but these are some of the basic steps.

  • SRM 07 Live Action

    Dear Expert,
    I am starting to work with the SRM 07 Live Action.
    I can enter  to the Live Action after I published the Action.
    Can someone tell me how to create password to the bidders I added to the auction?
    How can I create the URL for them?
    Can they enter the action using regular internet Access?
    Thanks,
    Yaron

    Hi,
    You will have to have the vendors in the SRM vendor organization, and also create contact persons to these vendors.
    So when you create contact persons you will have a su01 user with bidder role associated with it, hence for the same su01 user a portal user with bidder role has to be created.
    Once the live auction is published the bidders have to login to the portal with above user and access the live auction.
    Regards
    Sam
