Hasta La Motion!

Hey guys. I am new here 😀
Do you got any nice websites with a lot of free presets?

Also for making rain do you use presets/image/animation/effect?

Thanks!

Hey All

I’ve created a brand new website for VFX, Audio and Multimedia producers for all competence levels. It’s at www.projuice.org

Pro Juice is a weekly presenter driven online portal and television series about music, video and multimedia for ‘guerrilla producers’ that want to make, distribute and market their media. An ever expanding demographic, ranging from industry professionals to the legions of creative types who dabble in all forms of digital media.

There’s a bunch of cool stuff up there now and more to come weekly from now on… Look out for a cool tutorial on creating mortal combat style weapons, colour grade techniques, twitch style effects and more!!

I’ll keep this thread posted as new tutorials are posted!!

Cheers

Nick

Hey guys this my question

when you enable multiprocessing in AE it says that in order to get better performance from
the instances of AE you need a minimum of 400mb but if you want better speed you should reduce the ram available to your main Ae instance in order to free up the space for the instances

so if you run a 3gb ram system and you have a 2core processor then the main instance of AE would be set to max ram usage which is under 3gb and the second instance would only have 400 mg available this option i understand will make it run slower

so having the main instance only use 2gb would free up a gig for the second instance and then Ae would run faster

my question is this .. i run a 4 core system with 8gb of ram
so my main instance runs at full ram cap on a 64bit system and that leaves 5 gb free
so dose that mean the other instances dont get any ram becouse my first one is set to max and AE cant acces more then 3gb or not

I allso read that every AE instance will open its on 3g of max ram so techencliy Ae would be able to utilaze more then 3gb or ram
any ways i am ranting my quesiton is on my 8gb system do i keep the use max ram on my settings and the other ae instances will use the rest of the free ram or do i need to drop it to like 2gb or somthing so the other instances work faster couse my AE is not working as fast is id like it has truble with like a DV comp somethings and i think i am just setting something up wrong

Thanks guys

Hello, am I really the only one who experience difference in video when exported from AE, compared to original footage in FCP?

Example: I export a DV-PAL QT from FCP/ import it into AE and render it without adding effects, just for the test/ import it into FCP/ Result: video is darker than original.

I’ve tried the compressions: None, DV-PAL, Animation (horrible result) and Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2. Needless to say, I always use best quality settings.

This is puzzling me big time…

Thanks for advise //Erik

Hi,
I wish, once and for all, to straighten out how to maintain the quality of a DVPAL clip when rendered from AE into FCP.
I’ve noticed, in AE before rendering to FCP, I need to change the default position 288 up to 286 to maintain the original position in FCP. I choose compression DV – PAL and interlaced (if the clip was shot so). As interlaced, I choose Lower field order first (I’ve heard FCP likes that while PAL). Still I find there’s a slight difference from the original clip in the FCP timeline.
I’m aware of that adding a lot of effects and color adjustments might affect quality but besides from that.
Greatful for advise! //Erik
