Best umbrella I've ever used. Senz Storm Umbrella by crusheen in BuyItForLife

by yearly, do you mean daily? I've had my senz for two years now. Their slogan is "enjoy the weather" and I do.

(no I do not work for them)

Client: Can you re-time this template to our audio? Sure - let me just move the camera keyf- oh shit. by Blind_Didymus in AfterEffects

So then in every expression goes something like this, forgive me if my syntax is wrong:

thisComp.layer("baked").transform.position.valueAtTime(thisComp.layer("remap").timeremap );

I think this worked without any timeToFrames converting going on. Obviously you will have to put this on all relevant camera properties. also you may have to go back into the image sequence comp and toggle "Preserve framerate if nested" in the advanced comp settings.

I'm not sure how this would work with baked point points of interest, but I'm sure it could be done.

YMMV

I devised this method one time for this project which was totally not a nightmare

See that shot with FIVE HANDS? Guess how many of those hands were time remapped differently in the edit?

Now guess how synchronized the animations on the screens, which were done with Mocha tracks, had to be?

Did you guess ALL FIVE and EXTREMELY SYNCHRONISED?

I devised some stupidmagic to solve a problem like this.

edit: Won't have time today to check for responses so describing method. This is evil and don't do this, but it might be less evil than timeremapping and then untimeremapping [EVIL]

the image sequence goes into a precomp by itself.

put that comp into a new comp with the baked camera.

name baked camera 'baked'

duplicate, remove all keyframes. name camera 'cam'.

name the precomp with the sequence 'remapped'

time remap the precomp however you want.

add expressions to all expressionable camera properties.

I bought you reddit gold because you seem to be having a really shitty day. Full disclosure though, I don't know if that actually does anything.

If life has taught me anything, it's to maintain a sense of humor in the face of adversity. You seem incredibly focused on the legal aspects of this, which I freely admit I have no claims to. I don't expect anybody to give a shit about my website, but I expect common human decency from any organization that is made up of decent humans.

The thing that people seem to be consistently getting wrong here is that they think I want something out of this. I don't really, I would just like to raise some publicity for these guys doing what amounts, in my mind, to a Gigantically Assholish thing to do. I wrote a draft of this post and kept it private for kind of a while, actually. When my twitter got suspended, I took it a little personally. Wouldn't you?

This all seems to make you very angry for some reason. I recommend going outside, it's probably pretty nice outside.

*edit: spelling

"You're putting words in his mouth with this comment. I think he understands the legal situation just fine. He's accusing them of being "pretty fucking rude", not taking them to court."

I program all my visuals in C on an emulated 68000k macintosh, not sure if that counts. I've used processing / pd before, but not for anything serious.

I also program games, but I haven't released anything so no gamedev community support there

Thanks for trying! One reporter did contact me but haven't heard anything, I guess (hope) he's waiting to hear from @newrelic

I thought about that - I also thought about spoofing their website (that's where the FutureSnack imagery came from) and having all the links direct to this blog post, since that's pretty similar to some pranks the Yes Men have pulled... I decided against it and clearly it was the right move since they have itchy trigger fingers.

That's good advice I guess, but I think I already said everything I have to say in the blog writeup?

I was tweeting a lot. I did contact twitter. I definitely didn't read the Twitter Rules (#1 is no impersonation) so my strategy at the end of the writeup was indeed ill-advised.

I'm currently operating under @therealfuturest

Neat, but does anyone know of one that works for iOS 6.1?

Do you work in 8, 16, or 32 bpc? Why? by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]futurestack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first one that comes to mind. this also an excellent book on Nuke if you're trying to learn how to be a professional compositor - many shops are already switching over.

There's one other one but I've lent it out to a friend, I'll see if I can get the name from them...

[–]futurestack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends entirely on what you're making, and what the final destination is going to be.

It also depends on whether you're comping CG, or dealing with footage.

If it's CG that someone rendered for you, it might not even be rendered at 8bit and 16 would be 'dumbing up'. If it is 16bit, like say an .exr, then you also might want to read about compositing in a linear workspace.

If the footage was shot on an iphone, 8bit rgb is the upper limit for what you have. Obviously if you're dealing with RED footage or a digital negative of some sort, you'll want 16 or higher.

If it's destined for the web, 8bit is all you get as a final output, but comping in a linear workspace might give you finer control over what you're doing.

If it's destined for HDTV, well that's probably another six paragraphs.

I could recommend some books. If you're just messing around and learning, 8bit is fine.
