RE: Tips on creating moving blue screen shots...
MT is a process of tracking some pixels that are different then the rest of the screen: it could be bright balls, black and white checkers. Tracking of blank screen is impossible. The second one is the simplest way but is hard to make the walk to look realistic when you walk on the spot. Maybe if yo...

RE: Tips on creating moving blue screen shots...
These balls are tracking reference points. They are for match CG background movements to movements of real camera. Search the net (and AE help) for Motion Tracking

RE: Tell me again why most of you don
No lightsabers etc, I'm afraid but AFAIR theres some sort of garbage mask. I didn't play with it long cause it's definitely not for me so I don't rememeber all possibilities but its keying mostly.

RE: Re: RE: When working with CGI Models in Live Action sett
AP and AE can import a sequence of numbered bitmaps as a one clip. In AP just select first file (with lowest number) and you'll see an acitvated checkbox "bitmap sequence" (or something like this) - mark it and AP will import all bitmaps from this sequence. You don't have to select all of ...

RE: Greenscreen Lighting/backlit green screen?
You need large greenscreen - the actor should be at least 3 meters from it. You need also a two sets of lights.: one to lit the green screen - the other one to lit the actor. Actor must be lit with shadowless light - from above.

RE: Re: RE: When working with CGI Models in Live Action sett
When I have to mix some CG with live action I use two ways: - render all in 3D Studio with live action video as a background (the simpler cases) or - exposrting everything as a TIFF sequence (they have Alpha channel already) It's good when you have unstable system - if something goes wrong (system c...

RE: Tell me again why most of you don
Chromanator is a nice, little software. AE is for serious proffesionals. Comparing is sensless. It's like comparing MiniMorris to Lamborghini.

Premiere is an editing program: cutting, color corretion, transitions and that kind of stuff. AE is advanced program to composing - it's simmilar to the Photoshop a little bit. You can control every pixel of the screen. It's dedicatet to creating special effects. Download a trial and you'll see the ...

Go to Adobe site and order a free cd with video tutorials that explains basis of AE. AE requiers some trainig at the beginning but it's very powerfull tool and quite simple. I tried to work with Combustion and it's to complicated for me (maybe I'm Adobe addicted) If you're expecting something like A...

You should throw away those fadings. Fade to black is a way to finish a SCENE or SEQUENCE. If you must - use cross dissolving. This scene is a bit too long. She's cleanig off the blood and... nothing changes. There's no close-ups. If you want to add some tension you need to use more camera angles. T...
