Hasta La Motion!

I went home, plugged in my external hardrive and tried to play it. This is what comes up when I try too. Whats going on? I was talking to one of my friends and sent the file to him and he was able to watch it on his macbook pro. I have a imac.

here’s some pics of the file and error messages. I also have a final cut pro 6.0.6 and i’m getting version 7 of final cut pro now. I’m hoping it would make things easier for me.

one of my friends says that I’m missing a codec.

Budget: $1,500
Skills: Maya, Shake, After FX or your own packages

Don’t Let Him In is a British psychological horror film due to be completed Feb 2011. You can see more details here:

We’re in the last few days of post production and still need 3 shots finished using Maya/Shake and After FX. We have a previous FX artist who has done most of the work, so it’s just a case of finishing off what he did and compositing with 2k plates.

There are two possible routes as I see it: Either a) take Shake/Maya project files (half completed), render against 2k plates and output to dpx or b) do again yourself.

We already have a sales agent in place so this movie will be distributed. See www.DontLetHimIn.com for a trailer.

This is a chance for a decent FX artist to get their work seen worldwide within a month or two and a great credit on IMDB.

Budget is $500/shot or $1,500 total. Email kelly.coldwood@gmail.com if interested asap.

I’d be grateful if someone can tell me if I’m doing things right.

I’ve set my viewer lut to REC709, and all my read and write nodes to REC709 too..

Should I be using a colorspace node, converting things to SRGB Pal as at the end of the composite tree?

Any tips are much appreciated thanks.

first, who came up with this 20th century definition of compositing!? it sounds like someone copied it from a 1985 textbook or something. why not put a couple if pictures in there and extend the page a little.

and the part about effects animation and sfx doesn’t need to be in there at all, but should be in a seperate article! (by the way noone calls it "cgi effects" anymore! it’s cg effects or visual effects and they are not a part of special effects!)

p.s. it’s really weird to edit wki-pages in that teeny-tiny editing window! either do it right or let it go altogether. it’s gonna be really tough convincing people to update or contribute to a wiki like that…

just my 2cents

These codes (menu.py) below usually works fine in 6.1 but not anymore in 6.2 :

nuke.knobDefault(‘Write.codec’,’Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)’) # apple prores
nuke.knobDefault("Write.file_type","mov")
nuke.knobDefault("Write.codec","apch")
nuke.knobDefault("Write.fps", ’25’)

anyone have any solution ?

thanx
