Nattress film fx for luma?

I've recently been using a new workflow, after cc and fx, I've been using film fx, curves>>white output to keep my luma levels legal...it seems to be working well, I like it more than adjusting in 3-way CC but I'm wondering if this might not be a good idea for some reason I'm not seeing.
Opinions?
Thanks, Bob

Zak thanks for your reply. I check with the scopes and Range Check, so my question is really about workflow.
If I have several CC-3ways (with limit effect) on a clip plus some other fx, is it "Best Practice" to adjust levels in each filter? or is it OK to adjust the overall balence with something like Film FX or Prc Amp?
Is there a standard operating procedure that most people follow, or does everyone just do it their own way?
Thanks!

Nattress Film Effects for FCP HD

There are so many filters, so many settings. I am converting DV from a Sony 3 chip camera into FCP HD, for home movies using DVD Studio pro. All I want are the simplest settings to get a film look, with proper deinterlacing, and one could spend a lifetime playing with all the filters, and their settings. Can someone please afford me the courtesy as to which filter & settings to use for my project ?? Any and all help is appreciated in advance, thanks,
rick

Do you know if it's worth the $50 extra for the tutorials which only
come in the box version?
there is no boxed version
there is only one version sold from either directly nattress.com or authorized resellers
if you are seeing someone offer a "boxed set" please email Graeme and ask him if it is "legit"
as for tutorials there are full documentation included with the plugin as well as you can ask here and Graeme (the developer) hangs out here and will help (as will others)

Nattress Film Effects (lots of nerdy detail)

Hello all.
Firstly, I use Final Cut Express 3.5, and not FCP. HOWEVER, I've read many times that the FCP forum is a much better place to post questions about Nattress Film Effects, due to the fact that there are MANY more users here. So, here goes:
I edited a music video last year using Film Effects in FCE 3.5. It came out great, considering the (admittedly lowly) level of miniDV cams we used. Film Effects made a HUGE difference. Awesome. Best $99 a fellow ever spent, and I mean it (we even got onto TV).
BUT... During the process, I encountered a major problem, and I'm quite sure that my work flow was the culprit. I basically had the entire thing cut and sequenced just the way I wanted, then dragged the Nattress effects where I needed them (to clips in various sequences, using different filters and so forth). With nearly EVERY cut, the filter "turned off" a frame before the cut, giving it an unbearably "sloppy" appearance.
i.e. I shot of a man singing on the street. CUT TO: Woman in Bedroom, reading love letters. I make that cut with no prior adjustments to the image. THEN I add a "G Film Basic Cool" to the man, and a "G Film Basic Warm" to the girl. Presto. Sloppy, sloppy cut between the two. The last frame of the dude and the first frame of the girl: both without the effect, causing a bad cut. With synced vocals, I can't "cheat" by tossing just those frames.
The workaround, I found, was to extend the clip either above or below the adjoining one (so that it overlapped), add the filter, and THEN cut. VERY tedious, considering how many seperate cuts were in the vid. Although, it would still be tedious to render overly-long clips and then widdle them down (especially since the point of a NLE application is to be flexible).
Am I totally missing the point of what the workflow really ought to be? Becasue what Film Effects actually DID to the footage (far from the cut) was truly great. I must be missing something.
Sorry for the overly long email. I'm trying to do my homework ahead of time on this one!
Thanks,
Chris H.

The good news is that the answer is simple. It's all to do with the order you apply plugins. Because FilmEffects plays with time to get the 24p effect, it needs to know about frames both before and after the current one. That means it needs to know about the frame beyond the end of your clip, for instance. Now, filters generally apply to just the in through out points, and don't apply to the frames beyond, so if you do a colour correction filter, then add the 24p from Film Effects, the last frame can be made up from a frame that doesn't have the colour correction applied!
The simple solution is to ensure than any filter that alters time, like the 24p from Film Effects comes first in the stack. If it's not first, a simple re-arrangement of order can fix the issue.
Not only does this ensure things work right, but you'll get faster rendering too!

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air. It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low. I stopped and tried to delete LR files. I couldn't do it. I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR. I contacted Apple. They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them. I have several back-ups. Thanks - Arthur

This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

How to create dynamic source file path for lumira?

i have source file for lumira visualization on D:\lumira\SourceFiles\sample.xlsx;
also .lums file in D:\lumira\demo.lums
But when i use the same Lumira folder in different system i have to again create connection for the datasource for fetching the data.So please suggest me how can i use this file so that i don't need to create a new connection again and i should get the updated data i.e. the data should change according to the change in the datasource file.

Hi,
this isn't possible.
you need to go the Connections window in Lumira home page, and repoint the connection to the new location

How to have a web-based interface for Lumira that also performs Ad-Hoc visualizations on data that should be loaded live from HANA.

How to have a web-based interface for Lumira that also performs Ad-Hoc visualizations on data that should be loaded live from HANA. I have another tool that puts data into HANA, So don't want to reload this new data into Lumira every time I want to run a report.
so do i have the ability to create polished ad hoc dashboards, reports, infographics and storyboards Apart from Ad-Hoc reports, I also need a dashboard with some fixed reports that update with the live data.
So please suggest me to accomplish this task.
Thanks and regards

Why are some films available for download in the USA and not the UK or vice versa? For example the film 'Back to the Secret Garden' is available for download in the US and not the UK.

Film set for my iPhone

I own the power support crystal film set for iPhone 3G. I have installed the film but there is dust under the film. The second film I have is dirty and I don't know if I can use it still. Does anybody know a way I can reinstall the film with no dust?

Apparently, you can rinse it off dry it and try again -- I don't know how you could possibly do that without getting dust on it.
For the record, I had to go through 4 of them when I put mine on the iPhone 3G three weeks ago -- that is the same number I need to get them on the original as well -- in fact, when I sold the old one, I left the film on and let them know it took me 4 tries to get it on.
I found that putting a small piece of scotch tape on the lower right corner allows you to lift and replace better...
I really have clean office area, with very little dust, and yet every single piece of dust in the house managed to suddenly materialize in the exact 12 inches of space I was using to try to put the film on. Finally I got one on, and there was no real trick to it.
Incidently, I heard a Genius at the Apple Store brag one day that he can get them on less than a minute -- I told him great, put it on mine....5 minutes later and two crystal film sets ruined (luckily he swapped then out for free for me since he blew it) nothing was on the phone.

When In iTunes on my iPad and click on purchased I don't see any of my films, there for can retrieve them from iCloud any suggestions?

Why don't I see the films I have purchased from iTunes when using iTunes on my iPad? The fore can't download then from iCloud

You are correct in your assumption as long as
A. you live in the United States.
B. you are using the same Apple ID
C. the movies are from a studio that is now allowing this in agreement with Apple.
When you are in iTunes - tap on the Past Purchases tab. Then tap the View button in the upper left corner and select Movies from the resulting menu. Then you should see your purchased movies.

How do you make Nokia appreciate the need for Lumi...

As much as I'm loving the new devices Nokia releases I can't help but feel they keeping getting the internal storage wrong on their higher end devices.
An ideal world would offer decent internal memory (16GB minimum/32GB+ preferable) as well as microSD access on all their Lumia linup. I accept that there woiuld be a trade-off for some designs to try to incorporate this on all the devices, but for those devices that don't have a microSD and you are selling as high-end (92X series) you should provide an absolute minimum of 32GB internal memory.
The Lumia 925 is a beautiful device, but the 16GB version (which I'm assuming will be the most readily available option compared to the 32GB version) is woefully lacking for decent internal storage.
As great as the cloud computing/4G LTE revolution will be, it isn't here yet so you can't sell devices that appear to be intended to have their internal memory extended/supplemented by cloud access, as there's very few countries in the world that have a 4G network up to the task.
Even when cloud access/4G is improved I still would consider it vital to have decent sized local storage as well as high-speed cloud access. Network access/reliability isn't 100% and so a device that relies on cloud access ends up being as crippled as Google's Chromebook has been since launch having to rely on a tech which isn't there yet. Sure, gaming and the bulk of your music might make sense to play via the cloud when you can but with such amazing cameras on the devices there needs to be enough internal memory to give the user no worry of using it all up with apps, downloaded music&films for offline viewing, photos and their amazing holiday videos.
Nokia makes a great deal (and quite rightly) that the camera in your pocket should have great imaging capabilities as it's the one you can most quickly reach for. Their Lumia devices are being positioned as devices suitable for all locations and all situations and so should be able to operate as such - when we go off the beaten track, we should be limited in what our device can do because it can't access the network!
I sincerely ask Nokia not to put out any higher-end Lumias without the following minimum requirements:
1) 16GB+ internal storage with accessible expandable microSD memory.
2) 32GB+ internal storage if no microSD slot available.
3) 16GB+ internal storage with built in inaccessible microSD memory (32GB+ minimum) if the phone's design makes external microSD impractical/undesirable

@ yasfer21
Don’t think there’s any need to argue anything here I believe another_rob has a point I purchase a Lumia 800 on release date knowing it only had 16gb of memory with no way to expand it, but I thought the 25gb of cloud would be good enough to compensate for lack of memory in the phone it self. Well what a fool was I, I don’t live out in the sticks, I live in a medium size town just outside one of the UKs main cities and even here there are parts of the town that you can loose phone connection let alone a good data connection, so I learned very quickly that the cloud option is at best poor and worst pointless for me.
I can see that yes cloud will get better with 4G and is only going to get better over time but it is to soon to make the phone so dependant on it, just a small point MS has now taken back 18gb of that cloud storage any way, didn’t bother me as I’ve not used it over the last twelve months now any way, also just another point the phone uses some of that 16gb of memory for the OS and other system software so you don’t even get the whole 16gb for your own use, I never looked myself when I first got the phone to see how much the OS used.
I also have my own nas storage at home which I have access to via the net so I can see and understand the advantages to cloud based back up and file transfer, but after saying that I’m now looking for a different phone partly due to the lack of greater internal memory storage in the phone. My own Lumia only has 750mb of memory left and that is only because I have had to decide not to copy files to the phone that I used to have on my previous phone Nokia N900.
I know there is going to be cost considerations that Nokia have used to determine what memory to put in the phone so as not to make it to pricey and put people of as the mobile market is so very competitive but why not at lest give the user a couple of options either phones with different memory options or just a card slot, for me my next phone will have at lest 32gb of internal memory and an sd slot so I can have all the files I want full access to anywhere and at any time. So with this in mind I think there is no Nokia that meets this requirement and even if there was I have other problems with the OS on the phone so will not be buying another windows phone, which if a sad day for me as I’ve owned Nokia phones for over 25+ years.
Please this is just my own personal view as was your post and this forum is here for people to post there own views and ask question or ask for assistance and I hope that Nokia read these post and try to put phones out there that we will all be happy to own and use, just for now I will be using someone else’s mobile for the next couple of years I guess has I will be taking out another 18 or 24 month contract. No phone manufacture is ever going to make a phone that is perfect for everyone, mission impossible.
I will keep an eye on this forum and other press to see how thing progress with the Lumia range and who knows I may be back with them in a couple of years time so I wish you all well.

Can I swap a regular film release for an extended version?

I know now to wait until the 'extended edition' of a film is released, but I feel cheated for having purchased the theatrical release. As in the case of The Desolation of Smaug. I would simply like to swap this purchase of for the Extended edition (and am happy to pay the difference in price), rather than have to purchase two copies of the same film. Can itunes help?

Creative question. Alternative to film grain for my render?

Hi I'm new to AE but have learnt the basics. I've recently done renders for a project but then at the end figured out that youtube can't create good video at 640x360 so I'm currently rendering my entire 8 minute movie again into 1280x720. Problem is that it doesn't quite hold up as well, looks a bit flat. So I'm wanting to disguise that a bit by overlaying some texture into my scenes to make them more stylistic. The standard film grain tutorials I see often look a bit too cliche if you know what I mean? I want something more subtle and something that will work for 8 minutes worth of footage. Something to break up the image a bit but more than just some noise overlayed on top. The mood of the film is dark, vintage, creepy so I can get away with quite a lot. Does anyone have any ideas? If you click on the image for full 1280x720 you''ll notice that I already have some texture just from having a low sample rate, I sort of like it, as a base at least.

You can overlay all sorts of textures using blending modes from coffee stains to rust textures.

Nattress Film Effect Question

Dear all,
I really like the effects in http://nattress.com/Products/filmeffects/FilmEffectsImages/largeHDVFilmEffectsIm ages.htm
What are the presets or settings to achieve that effect?
Is there a more detailed documentation on each of the filters along with examples? I recently purchased the plugin, but besides from a few easy-to-understand presets, I am quite lost.
Thank you,

G RGB Mixer was used for the colours and gamma adjustments, and G Vignette was used to blend the edges off to black.

Will the base 13' Air suffice for Film editing for a college student?

I was considering the machine due to it's portability and low entry price but I am concerned about it's possible lack of editing power for my college courses.

That is completely subjective. What are college level films? How do they differ from any other type of film?
Go out and buy a base model 13" Air and test it. You have 14 days from date of purchase to return it for a full refund. If it doesn't meet your need then either get one with a faster CPU and more RAM or buy something else that will work at the speed you want. It is not about will it do it, it will do whatever you want. It is about the speed it will do the work you want it to do. Again this is subjective as only you can tell if it is working fast enough for you.
