Ae roto Scene
Posted in: Adobe After Effects
I shot some 120 HD sequences using my DSLR camera (Canon 550D) and all need color correction as the white balance was not set. Some sequences are indoors and some of them are outdoors and some are under tree shades.
Am looking for recommendations which can help me in a efficient workflow.
Here are my current thoughts, kindly comment.
1. Convert all sequences to Edit friendly format (I use Avid DNxHD codec)
2. Edit them in Premiere as per the need
3. Export to AE and Color Correct the “edited” footage
(this edit sequence could be a mixture of Indoor and outdoor shots also).
I am not sure if this is the right way or is it better to color correct the original and then convert to Edit formats and then proceed.
Basically I am confused :confused:
Tx,
Haf
PS: Took the liberty of calling them as Sequences, as the DSLR creates a separate MOV file for each record press.
When I solo the green channel using Show Channel in the viewer it is perfect, but I cannot export this as it is preview only. So I used Channel Mixer to solo the green channel and checked the monochrome option BUT I end up with a black screen.
Next I tried soloing the green channel and then applying a grayscale Tint. However this gives a different result to the preview. The tint effect darkens the image slightly and makes the whites turn gray.
I have tried many different solutions but I cannot get the perfect result.
Any suggestions?
Thanks 🙂
I know The Mill in New York has several Flame suites, and I’m sure they use Shake / Nuke etc … but I hear they use AE for some vfx as well.
I was curious do they use it a lot for comping!?
Thanks

3ds Max w/ MR to AE question
Posted in: Adobe After EffectsIf so, could you explain what render elements in Max you use and your workflow putting them together in After Effects?
RenderMan Compositing in AE
Posted in: Adobe After EffectsThanks
Maybe it’s something in my settings for Qmaster, but if someone has a fix I’d be very grateful. So far Qmaster is acting like a glorified Render Que and only rendering one frame at a time. I feel like it can be so much more, I just need a little help.
Any takers?
There is a screencap of the settings I’m using attached.
