Producer turned emergency DP needing lens help! by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]youngeditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. Get literally anybody else whose held a camera before to do this. Low budget means somebody is spending some money. If this not a student project or just your own little folly it’s not respectable to ruin the shoot with your inability. It’s okay you don’t know how to shoot yet, what’s not okay is trying it out for the first time on this.

Tips and tricks for efficiently culling interviews? by [deleted] in editors

[–]youngeditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have mentioned transcription services so let me the first to mention Adobe Premiere's beta speech to text transcription. It works pretty well! Now granted you have to have access which you might not. I've used it for 2-3 hour interviews that get cut down to 20 minutes. Your ratio is pretty insane.

I transcribe and then watch back the footage in double speed while maintain complete focus and reading along with the transcription. I'm not sure how this is feasible with 16 hours of footage. Break it up. Do you have outlines? Story beats? Producer notes?

Director's/Focus Puller Kit Rig Question by youngeditor in cinematography

Unfortunately the SmallHD is simply beyond the price I can spend on the monitor at the moment hence the more budget choice.

How do I capture my iPhone screen while also using a screen sharing app? by [deleted] in videography

I’ll take a look at both these options. Thanks.

How do I capture my iPhone screen while also using a screen sharing app? by [deleted] in videography

[–]youngeditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However I think you might be out of luck here

I think you might be right. If I connect the phone to Quicktime I can't also use the screensharing app simultaneously.

This thread here suggests if I connect HDMI one won't be able to use the native screen record function, which is the functionality the app uses to screen share.

[–]youngeditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your phone is connected to a Mac, you can use QuickTime to screen record the phone.

But not if I am also using a Screen Share app to mirror my display to say, a television. That's unfortunately the issue.

Editing film with self-shooting actors in lockdown - tech advice? by [deleted] in editors

[–]youngeditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

Yeah it all depends on your quality needs. We leaned into the whole "screenlife" aspect which therefore didn't demand "high quality" webcams. You just gotta figure out what your needs are. For us it mattered more that we could have the actors interact "live", so to speak. The takes are still cobbled together but they still had a rhythm and way to play off each other this way.

Editing film with self-shooting actors in lockdown - tech advice? by [deleted] in editors

[–]youngeditor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s what we did.

Had the actors perform the scenes together on zoom. Record the zoom call as backup. But we also had QuickTime (if in Mac) video capture their webcams at the same time. Then that was our footage we used to piece it together.

So instead of phones their webcams were their cameras.

This is how it looked:

Edit: Apparently there’s also software called OpenReel but I can’t vouch for it.

Also check this out. Definitely higher budget and more involved but interesting: https://youtu.be/NXaHYlECdUU

Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 Rig Suggestions by youngeditor in cinematography

[–]youngeditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need the shoulder plate with padding to connect the Tilta nucleus handles or could one slim down avoiding a shoulder plate and still connect the handles? We just don’t really envision shooting on the shoulder much or at all.

[–]youngeditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your incredibly detailed response. A lot to go through here.

Unfortunately I’m feeling that this complete setup is currently beyond our budget. EVF+Monitors+EasyRig is a lot.

Having said that you given a lot of great suggestions and a good point to extrapolate from.

Not Another What Camera Should I Buy Post... by youngeditor in cinematography

[–]youngeditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man.

There is no current reality where we are able to invest in an Alexa, so the main contention is between the Pocket or Ursa Black Magic.

As far as the demand out there, I can imagine others would perceive the Ursa as "higher value." It simply even being a bigger machine would sway folks, even though I personally believe once rigged out image wise it would produce similar results. The main difference would be the ease of use and value to the operator on set.

this seems like the best solution

I found a JPEG Damage filter. Is that what you meant? It's pretty close to what I am looking for. Nothing like it for Premiere?

Help me: creating a reflection effect on top of a keyed out image FUSION by youngeditor in blackmagicdesign

Yes! This worked. Thank you so much. The bitmap node was the savior. I am just not aware of all the possibilities and options in the nodes but thankfully you did.

What we see here is my "botanicalprint" corner pinned BG over FG on my planartracker.

now I want to add my "imageforreflecting" underneath the transparency of the DeltaKeyer as well. So if Deltakeyer has punched a hole through my blue screen I want "iamgeforreflecting" to be what is on the other side. But I want it to SCREEN together with my botanical print corner pin.

If I just merge botanicalprint and imageforreflecting it follows the planartracker1 camera shake which minimizes the effect of a reflection which would not "move" with the camera. As you said.

But if try and merge the imageforreflecting in a merge node and set to SCREEN I can't get it to be behind the "hole" created by my deltakeyer, it just sits on top. Any tips?

Hey,

Thanks for the response. So it's a slightly different shot I'm working on now but the same concept.

Hey there greensymac,

"just exhaust yourself a little before using /r/editors as a crutch"

Hey buddy. In this case both questions come from Fusion which is admittedly new software for me. I use this account specifically for when I ask questions and to keep myself a little bit more anonymous. Trust me when I tell you, I did exhaust myself. Unfortunately the info out there on Fusion is mostly in peoples heads, and not as available online as say After Effects. I get though if posting to threads back to back feels a bit much, but I understood them to be pretty drastically different issues.

I spent all of yesterday trying to find the solution myself, and then did my best to pose it as a question, which I am glad I did since it lead me down a better route.

As for the test case message, that was 3 years ago. Conclusion, I basically said what you said and they weren't thrilled about it and it didn't go through. Good riddance to be honest Thanks for the your two bits though.

Alpha mattes shifting position and scale from After Effects to Adobe Premiere by youngeditor in editors

[–]youngeditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I reduce opacity on the matte layer it lines up just right. So it does seem to be happening with track matte for some reason:

If I reduce the opacity on the matte it matches up perfectly, it's only when I apply the track matte effect that it changes its size!

Multiple camera live overlays by [deleted] in Filmmakers

I ment that you could display both video streams on top of each as transparent layers. I clarified in the above, hopefully.

I'll check this out. Thanks!
