as an anim8or user, do you find it to be nearly as powerful as 3ds max?

you might have better luck with anim8tor. i think it is at www.anim8or.com or something. Free, and seems quite a bit more user friendly.

basically any program as long as once you change it to black and white and you have the capability to change the white and black input levels. for example in premiere you can add the black and white effect, but it does not give you any controls for the black and white effect, so you adjust those in ...

probably just someone who wants to use your script. just cause he gave you all that cr** about plier and a blowtorch makes it even less believing. chances are if it were real, they would contact you in a more personal way because they would want their message to be clear and believable.

well they used a strobe light in the grayson trailer and the effect looked great. however, i usually lower the brightness in all my shots anyways then when a shot is fired i raise it back up for a keyframe or two. just a suggestion. other than that i do not know.

yeah people suggest re-install all the time for stuff like this. most of the time there are actual solutions. besides it makes you more experienced and knowledgable if the problem happens again.

anyone got the links for the free software cause those suit me just fine

that didn't work, i switch it from "work area only" to "length of comp" but i cannot select "custom". whenever i render, it renders up to 29.05, but if i drag on the timeline past 29.05 the rendered area goes away and i have to re render. is there a way i can just retur...

ok whenever i render out this video i am making to check out the effect, it only renders it up to 29.05 seconds even though there is over a minute of video. this just all the sudden started happening, i am sure it is just some button or option i accident did. any help?

sometimes i think you guys take the low budget film making thing too far. you do have to buy the real thing sometimes.

Does anyone know somewhere online where i can buy fuses like for fireworks except a little longer, like maybe 6 inches.

Including his famous matrix nobudget fake-bulletroom demo.

the matrix tutorial is not even there's. they should not have that up without giving credit.

i thought they could all shoot in 24p too, or at least the XL-1S. might be wrong though

do you mean like a timecode? cause for that you just highlight the video you want it on, go to effects, downs to video, and then click on timecode.

for those who are interested

ok i got it, have your actor rub his eyes a lot before. cheap, easy, effective. otherwise, just use normal eye drops they make your eyes red only for a few minutes and of course they are safe. its what they are made for.

ouch!

mine was just taken from Premiere. Every version of premiere comes with the Universal Counting Leader.

This looks really great, im really blown away by all the stuff that you have created so far. Seeing your clips make me want to get into After Effects. I downloaded the trial a while ago but gave up almost straight away because I found it a little bit complicated. What is your experience with it, ar...

well if you want to go really cheap alam dv2 can do some special effects, but that should really be a last resort. you cannot achieve the realism with alam dv2 that you can with after effects. you also do not have as much control in alam dv2. check out the website. i think it is fxhome.com but i do ...

the trailer seems to have a citizen kane feel to it.

removing the shadow of the box would be really easy, and i saw that but i had already spent a lot of time on this just for a test clip so i just left it in.

i think you mean kb. because 50-100k is really slow.

didn't they do that for sky captain and the world of tomorrow?

i decided that stock explosions suck after i realized that they look totally unrealistic. it is fine if you just want to have fun with film making but if you want to strive for a professional look then you stay away from stuff like that. either go for real recipes or don't use them at all.
