Hasta La Motion!

NOW! I have to submit the file in 1080p 23.976 with Avid DNxHD 1080p 36 8bit codec . I can‘t put in native 1080p because I will loose my 2D camera movements and I think if I scale up it will look like %$!”$. Also, is it safe to change the frame rate from 30fps to 23.976 just like that on the export settings?. I’m using after effects on a MAC I also have Final Cut.

So, what do you recommend to keep the image sharp and still meet the requirements? If you need more information just ask me. Thank you!

I am trying to find a work flow of using reel’s smart motion blur plug-in in shake. Is there a special way that I can use the vector files rendered from Maya 2009 framebuffers to make it look correct.

The workflow for me currently is to render out a motion pass from Maya 2009 using framebuffers into open EXR format and import it into shake using the openEXR plugin for Shake v2.5.1. Yep I am on Windows.

The reason why I use openEXR is that that motion vector pass needs at least 16 bit of data, for some reason the file format iff and tiff in Maya cannot support 32 bit when rendering framebuffers (good one Autodesk).

Does anyone know of a solution to composite correct motion blur in Shake using vector passes rendered from Maya? Right now I seem to be getting just diagional lines blur, and not true motion blur. I have read the documentation and have been following http://aloedesign.com/2008/12/maya-2…/#comment-3029

motion blur tutorial, but that tutorial doesnt seem to be for Shake, its for after effects instead. It is a good tutorial but there is some confusion about temporal sync as he doesnt really explain how to fix it correctly.

Since Maya renders the data into the R,G,B, do I have to convert it into X,Y,Z inside of Shake, if so how do I do that?

Thanks for your time, and help.

I just bought this pic expecting it to be mint but it’s rather blurry. Could i get some opinions as to whether it’s ok to go ahead and work with it?

This is after i sharpened it.

spec:
original size 2.8k
output will be for portfolio so like 1k tops, about the size shown (dvd)
going to do matte painting then camera map and fly in

thanks.
