I was watching a scratch demo at assimilate’s website. HE was working with 4k plates that were in an HD 1920 project. So he resized the image "down" to fit in the 1920 window. I said to myself, wow that must be nice to compact all of those 4k pixels into a 2k project. ( almost 2k)
Should I be doing the same with HDV 1440 X 1080 if my goal is to render to DVD?
For example, I set up my project to 1440 X 1080 and then render out to DVD standard. I’m guessing that the transcoding dumbs down the resolution to 720 X480.
So my question is which is the better deal? Working in a 720X 480 project and Resize "down" to fit 720 x 480 (which should compact those nice 2k pixels into 720)
Or
Work in 1440 and let the transcode do the work for me?
Thanks,
Lou

Los Angeles, CA August 17, 2010 Visual effects company Method announced that it has promoted Claus Hansen to head up its Creative Finishing division as creative director. Hansen, who has worked with Method since its 2009 merger with RIOT (where hed been on staff since 1999), oversees all creative projects for the division in addition to contributing his own talents as a finishing/VFX artist. Recent projects from Hansen at Method include spots for Playstation with Deutsch, Nike Puppets and Jeep Manifesto with Wieden+Kennedy, and Scion xB Splicer for ATTIK.
Methods Creative Finishing division has continued to expand, growing into a robust team of highly skilled artists with a wide range of talents, and Clauss leadership ensures that all finishing projects are subject to Methods high standards for quality, said Methods Creative Finishing executive producer Robert Owens. More than any other company, what we offer clients is bandwidth and talent. Our strength is in the team and its ability to work together.
The Creative Finishing division has expanded to fill the third floor of Methods recently remodeled Los Angeles facility, featuring comfortable rooms with stunning balcony views attended by Methods client services team. The division is staffed with five Flame artists, including Hansen, and the teams two Smoke artists have recently been joined by the newly hired Aaron Neitz. In addition, with Methods CG and compositing teams available for more complex VFX just one floor away, finishing clients also have access to powerful effects for their commercial projects.
Were thrilled about the growth of the Creative Finishing division, and applaud the quality of projects that have come to Method under Claus leadership, commented Patrick Davenport, Methods VP of operations. In addition, there are tremendous benefits to having a visual effects team on hand for CG work or other complex VFX needs outside of finishing. Method has the infrastructure and talent to tackle even the most involved VFX projects, which means that we can offer our finishing clients a wide range of services.

He has also created visual effects for a number of television series including The X-Files, Charmed and Ally McBeal. A native of Denmark, Hansen graduated from the Danish design school Kunsthåndværkerskolen with a degree in illustration and graphic design.
Methods Creative Finishing division has truly become a force to be reckoned with. We have the power and the people, and since we can always ramp up to go full steam ahead, no job is too big or too small, Hansen said. The team has a great combination of very talented people, and we all work incredibly well together. With our very dedicated in-house producers, all our jobs go very smoothly. Because we can scale our resources and technology to the needs of any given project, were able to deliver projects on a very timely manner.

How to remove "copy to group" button in our own gizmo’s.
Advance Thanks
So I’m trying to install Nuke 6.1v1 on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and all is well for that part. When I try to install the plug-ins from the plug-in installer they seem to mount and say they are installed, however they don’t show up in the Nuke menu. How would I find out if anything was installed in the environment variable for OFX plug-ins? Anyone have experience with this situation? Could be that I’m using Ubuntu but I don’t think thats the issue, would be nice if The Foundry considered .deb packages as well as others. The only reason I say that is because I notice Mari was previewed via Kubuntu which is very similar to Ubuntu, so I would imagine the ties being similar…Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions and apologies if this has been brought up before couldn’t find anything related.
i have stored the data from a color knob in a file:
[1, 2, 3]
Now i want to write these values back into the color knob.
I tried:
x.knob(‘color’).setValue(1, 2, 3)
This runs without an error and the gizmo is switching to the "3-value-input-mode", but the numbers stay the same in all fields.
Does anyone know how to get those values back into the ColorKnob?
Thanks for your help!
cheers,
sean
