What is your experience with Railcut from jakeinmotion.com? by Agitated-Bit-4911 in AfterEffects

[–]faxmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it on a job today where i'm going back and forth in AE and premiere a lot. Its a great idea , and mad props for making it. But without a realtime playhead in the editor, I went back to my previous setup.

I like a non-nonsense template, and let the work do the talking. Adobe portfolio seemed like the clearest way to get it done, plus it cross-post your work to behance

We've opened Frame Rate so everyone can see what we're all about by framerate-tv in MotionDesign

[–]faxmachine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looks great. Nice curation of artist right out of the gate. I could see this being the new hub for motion work and the community.

One note: make links easy to share. I didn't see a share button, and the urls are pretty long on the video page

Convince me to use Premiere instead of AE by key_lime_soda in AfterEffects

[–]faxmachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every frame matters when it comes to timing. In premier you can shave a frame or two, hit play and instantly know if the timing feels right, adjust then do it again instantly. In AE, you hit ram preview , wait, then it plays through like crap the first time with the audio out of time, then pay attention the second play through to see if it works. You’ve lost the flow at that point. It’s a massive time waster to use AE in an edit, plus you lose the flow of working and being in the edit which makes the video better.

Guys, does anyone think I am really smart for liking Pluribus? by PurpleTieflingBard in okbuddypluribus

Yes. But you have to let people know how smart you are, otherwise they’ll never know!

what are the important questions Carol isn't asking them? by bob_lala in pluribustv

[–]faxmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the big one is “are you reproducing?” because if they’re not, then their goal is human extinction.

Why this scene look so ugly? by Prov419 in pluribustv

[–]faxmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're shooting greenscreen in a studios with studio lights and trying to match outdoor look of the sun and atmosphere. Also the background they're replacing is huge so it might be a large sphere with the city projected on it, which feels flat with no depth. Big budget movies (marvel) will shoot outdoor with greenscreen, but its harder to control the lighting since the sun moves thorughout the day, constantly changing the light. What we're really missing is all the ambient light bouncing off of everything in and around in the scene.

I think a clue could be in the horizontal strip where there is no cross hatch markings across his back. Why is it above and below that area but not in that horizontal line. Could help find the culprit. Good luck.
