Incredibly quick question for editors, I'm making a countdown slate in After Effects, just to do some learning (I'm coming from Motion). I'm used to seeing 16:9 Full Height Anamorphic on slates before, but all of our work is done in 16:9 full frame, and I'm not sure what the term is for that. Do I just put "16:9 full frame"? edit: ie non anamorphic thehustler fucked around with this message at Apr 23, 2013 around 20:33 |

It's crazy time consuming to isolate sections of the image like that and it's making me a bit crazy. I just want to zoom in on a patch of skin or whatever. Are you on a Mac? Use the built in DigitalColor Meter. Its in Apps/Utilities. It will go in and give you exact RGB values for pixels.

What's everyone's opinions on showreels for editing? Sure, making a montage of stuff to music shows of some degree of skill, but I don't think it tells anyone as much about your appropriate editing skill as a series of actual clips. What I have is a handful of music videos directed/shot/edited by me and promos for TV shows. Setting cool shots from the videos to music would show me off as a director, but then there's no way to really include the promos and I'd rather show off all my roles working together. I was thinking something I could do would be a mock TV thing where each video is a channel being flipped through and in between is where the ads could go, but that could be loving cheesy.

It's for a "Trainee Creative Producer" position at a TV station's ad department. I think the commercials are mostly internal promotion for the station, which is why I want to include an example of my TV promos.

Is there a thread for video cameras? I'm going on a trip with my organization and I was asked to put together a short film about the trip, I don't have a super large budget, under a grand, and it needs to not be bulky.

Then as long as you demonstrate solid fundamentals, you should be good. Promotional media is all about being impactful and concise, so a compilation to music should suffice if you put some thought and effort into it.

In Premiere (preferably going back to CS3 since that's what we edit the one show on. Don't ask) is there an easier way to mask something out of a shot than garbage matting it and animating the garbage matte? IE dude is wearing something we want covered, so I simply matted out a good section of his shirt, and laid it over top of what I wanted to cover and animated the matte to move with him. Is there any easier way to do that rather than have to go through drat near frame-by-frame to make sure the matte is properly positioned? Especially cause I got to go through a half hour show this past weekend and have to lay the matte over an idiot who couldn't affix a lapel pin correctly, and get it done in 45 minutes before the show had to go to air. Managed to do an all right job, but it was far from the world's best. Since I'm still very much in "amateur" status i figured I'd ask you pros. Also, gently caress cutting together promos. Seriously. gently caress it. Actually, take that back. I love it. I hate that my boss and I have very different ideas of what we want in promos. (I like artsy stuff. He...doesn't. So I'll design a promo, he'll go 'well it looks nice but why not use these scenes instead?') yet when I ask him what scenes he wants me to use he goes "oh, well, you're the one cutting it together, you pick."

I wouldn't try this in premiere. This is a job for the tracker in after effects, mocha, or possibly the color keyer in colorista or davinci resolve.

Yes, After Effects will save you a ton of pain doing work like that. Even if the tracker doesn't work for that particular clip, manipulating and animating masks goes much more quickly in AE than in any NLE.

Thirded: round trip to AE. That isn't what Premiere is for.

Y'know I hadn't even thought of AE for that. I feel like a right idiot now. I really need to get a lot better with AE. I've poked around with it a little bit but now have all the more reason to learn it since we do two weekly shows and if AE can do that stuff much more easily then so much the better. Especially cause we film both on friday and air both over the weekend giving us next to no post-pro time to fix things.
