3ds Max :: Big 3D Digital Sequences
Jul 11, 2011
MY QUESTION : MAYA or 3D MAX or BOTH?
I've been playing around with digital film with chromakey lighting and Adobe After FX post production & compositery techniques.
I now what to continue to develope this stylisation with big 3D digital sequences.I'm in at the deep end but a fast learner..I've got a great TRON scenes tutorial kit which uses MAYA and I've got some great 3D models (landscapes, trees, vehicles etc) but they only seem compatible with 3D Max, not Maya...
What are the main objectives of each suite MAYA and MAX 3D? For example why is my TRON template kit MAYA based, not MAX 3D.How do i make my files universal... for example I require a dragon, what model / file format is compatible for both packages?
I've also seen nice animation results with Blender 2.57... Are these file formats compatible with Maya and 3D Max.

I want to create a file with image sequences; not a video file, a long png file. Example: I have 10 jpeg or bmp images, each image needs to sit at the side of the last image in a line, so instead of stacking the images one on top of the other as the Scripts > Load into a stack would do, I would have 10 images side by side, abit like the three images below but butted up to each other on the right-hand side. Is it possible to automate this task?Is there a script already made for this?

My timeline (no sequences). It does not have columns on the left handside. It does not have a slider on the bottom of the box. It is useless.

Calling all RED users (and not RED users as well). I have just posted a new 2 part series on dealing with upscaling RED sequences in Autodesk Smoke
This user requested topic shows how you can achieve the workflow of doing your editorial and basic effects with a small debayer setting followed by unlinking the sequence, upscaling the debayering settings and relinking everything together at the higher debayer setting. We also cover the affects of ConnectFX created before or after upscaling a sequence.
As I said, "Debayering Fun for Everyone!"You can check this out now on the Smoke Learning Channel. URL....iTunes - Do a search for the Smoke Learning Channel.

I'm making a video with Premiere Pro CS5.0 in Windows 8.1, from footage from an HD camcorder with a 5.1 microphone. When I make the basic sequences, the 5.1 sound is preserved. My New Sequence Settings include: Master track type:5.1, Mono tracks:0, Stereo tracks:0, 5.1 tracks:1, Submix tracks: all zero.
Â
However, when I create a Master sequence (same settings) and drop a basic sequence onto it, the sound appears onto a new Audio 2 Stereo track, although the initial Audio 1 and Master tracks are showing as 5.1.

I notice red cursor jumping back and forth as I play to edit in open project - did not do this before.What can I do?
i recently dragged the Premiere pro cc icon to my apps folder - could this have introduced a time /rendering delay?I think the sound has also become lower!

I've downloaded the trial of Photoshop CS6, and imported image sequences and video files. But whenever I use a filter or make another edit, it only affects the frame currently being displayed. Is there any way to apply a change to all frames of the sequence or video at once?

I have used VideoStudio 11 happily for some time now but when I recently captured a HDV video in the DV format I found that the audio in some of the sequences plays back normally BUT some does not play back at all or only at a very very low level. The audio on the original tape is fine and I can see the audio waveform on the sequences that don't play back.

I am trying to relink still images in Smoke. I have .tif files and were taken by a still photographer. As I'm relinking to the original sources, Smoke is identifying sequential file names as image sequences and it's not available in the Potential Matches as a link option. For other stills in the same folder where there is a break in a numeric filename sequence, Smoke identifies and relinks just fine.
Â
Is there an option to ignore image sequence identification?
Â
I also run into this for other elements where are numbered by designers like credits_01, credits_02, etc.

I recorded video on a Black Magic Cinema Camera (BMCC), which has legendary video quality but an awful on-camera microphone with tinny recording process, and recorded audio on a Zoom H6 which has great low-noise, more bits and greater sampling rate capability.
Â
In Premiere I made a Sequence containing the video footage, then added the H6 audio and synchronized it by waveform to the BMCC's audio, which I subsequently muted. I call this a Source-Sequence, as it is intended as a virtual source media item, to be cut into one or more Edit-Sequences (my term).
Â
Not "holding my breath" but trying it anyway, in Premiere's Project/Bin pane, I selected that source-sequence then did RightClick > Analyze Content. Teasingly, that option was not greyed-out. However all options in the the resulting popup-dialog were greyed-out.
Â
In this situation, to be useful, the speech analysis would need to be available to Sequences, not just to (Master) Clips. Obviously one could render such a sequence to intermediate but that would waste time and disk space and would essentially freeze the state of the Source (e.g. including any sync issues that might be discovered later, or whole-source color corrections issues etc.). If one subsequently altered that state, a re-render, re-link and re-analysis would be required. If a Souce-Sequence were used instead, and no alteration had been made to the audio (or if user indicated "don't care"), then there would in principle be no need for re-analysis.

We are working in a shared storage environment with 4 editors runnig Premiere Pro CC. We set up a Master Project with all the raw media, then split it between 2 editors to sync and create rough assemblies. Afterwards, we need to import the assembly sequences into the master project. I select a bin, Import a project file, select "Selected Sequences", Dynamic Link shows that it's connected to the project, then it takes 10+ minutes (I wish this were an exaggeration) to "load" to project so that I can choose the sequence(s) I want to import. This is even more frustrating when I import a sequence and it brings in duplicate Master Clips, forcing me to go back to the project and figure out what has change with the interpretation of the clips. Is there any way to speed this process up? Projects contain 5000 - 10,000 media elements.

It seems After Effects CS6 suddenly stopped accepting DNG files during import.
Just the day before, I was imported DNG sequences generated by the raw2dng app (Magic Lantern RAW video, shot on a Canon 5D Mk III), but AE suddenly stopped accepting DNGs over night (they are greyed out on import).
After Effects CC will still import DNGs, and opens the ACR window immediately, as it should. I'm running OSX 10.9.2, and all of my Adobe software is fully updated.

After assembling the render output of my 3d app in photoshop (32bit) and changing the appearance via several CC layers in different layer modes (e.g. Hue/saturation in Overlay mode) I ended up with my composing for print purposes. The comp is complex, with several masked folders, single masked CC layers and many image layers (some with masks). Now the client wanted me to animate part of the image. No problem I thought. But the trap is of how to assemble the different image sequences (diffuse, specular, reflection, masks, etc, etc). I came up with a PS action which loaded the single images and arranged them in the same fashion as the master file. But now PS doesn't load the incremental images for the batch processing. Images are named in a Diffuse_00001, Specular_00001, ... fashion. Loading the first set works, but from Diffuse_00002 everything goes wrong and PS load the 00001 files (except from one file which loads in the proper incremental way). I can't transfer this stuff to AE as it is much too complex and I do no AE only very little. I guess PS should be capable to solve this batch task, but a simple action via batch seems to fail.

The client asked me to give them a version of the Final sequence in which the colour of a looping background was slightly different so that they could compare the two. They also asked for two different pieces of music so they could test which one worked better. Before they picked the final version they wanted everything slightly shorter. The duplicates keep piling up.
Is there a way to swap put a shot in a master sequence and have it update in all the other duplicates I have made? How does one keep track of all the sequences in Smoke with all these little changes.
PS. With the audio I put the two music tracks in the sequence and muted one or the other. Dealing with different lengths of a commercial needs me to duplicate and then things start piling up.

I'm creating an exploded view presentation of a large assembly. I understand that when sequences are created, the parts that are hidden at the time are added to the Hidden folder of that sequence. But since I had to work back and forth between sequences to tweak the order, I want to hide some parts that I just added and that belong to a previous sequence. The part is now randomnly hanging in space when the camera angle is trying to show another part of the assembly. How can I make parts hidden for some sequences but not other? There's no option to hide parts, only to unhide them from the Hidden folder. BTW, using Inventor Pro 2012. Â
Look at picture to better understand the question.

If I create multiple sequences within a project, and 'reset current workspace', only the sequence tab currently selected will remain (at least, this is the case when I save and reopen the project). I tend to sync video and audio on the timeline in one sequence, and build an edited scene in another, so I lose either the synced rushes or the scene-in-progress.

I need to open about 50 folders and extract the image sequences within the folders from my library. A flame demo artist showed me how to do it at NAB and I can't remember how to do it now.

We have an iMac workstation here running Premiere that will not open projects or import clips. Here's the sequence of events that led to this:
Â
1. Premiere was locking up on the splash screen whenever it got to "ImporterQuicktime.bundle". I tried trashing preferences and launching with plug-ins disabled and received the same freeze. Based on forum recommendations I removed "ImporterQuicktime.bundle" and "ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle" from the plug-ins folder inside the package. The software launched fine - but none of the Quicktime files in the project were working. So I then took copies of the above 2 files from the iMac next to this one, with the exact same configuration, and pasted them into the plug-ins folder. Since then - launching the software has generated the below errors.
Â
2. Attempting to open any project gives a long error that starts as: The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located.
Â
3. Starting a new project and attempting to drag any Quicktime ProRes media into the project gives the error: File Format not supported.
Â
I have trashed the preferences, re-installed the Pro Apps Quicktime Codecs, de-authorized the computer and re-authorized it, and upgraded Adobe Premiere from 7.0 to 7.2. None of which fixed the issue.
Â
I'm thinking about trying a complete re-install of Premiere next.Â
Here's the details:
Premiere Pro CC 7.2
Mac OS 10.8.5
iMac late 2012 model, 32Gb RAM, 2Gb video card

So what I need to do is to take the following
Â
filename (1) from Folder (A)
filename (1) from Folder (B)
Â
Open in Photoshop and run an applescript to combine the two images and save the result to a location.
Â
Then
Â
filename (2) from Folder (A)
filename (2) from Folder (B)
Â
Run the batch again and again until all images in the sequence are processed in both folders.
Â
Was looking into an Applescript that may do the job but can't seem to find anything. Happy to look at purchasing a solution if it is available.

easy way to import 2 sets of image sequences into AE and have them side by side, so both sets will be inside 1 frame.Example of what I'm doing is having a phone conversation, instead of switching back and forth between the actors (image sequences) I want to see them both at the same time next to each other.

I am realitively new to Premire Pro, and have been working on a stop motion project for my HS. I want to have it to where I can have both of my stop motion sequences playing in the same frame, side by side. I have a sequence of my character doing one thing on side, and another one doing something different, and I want to mash them together to look like they happened at the same time. Like I said I am pretty new to Premire pro, and if you need more infromation, let me know, and I will try to provide.

I have made a short film of 6 minutes (in 6 parts on after effects) I have added all the effects and the camera work on AE, but it needs a lot of editing here and there, which I find impossible to do on AE since you can't cut and join scenes like Premier pro. I need to import all these sequences onto premier pro for editing now. The problem is once I import the files, it imports in the right order in systematic folders etc, but it doesn't show any of the camera work or the special effects like gaussian blur etc. All my hard work has gone.
Â
There must be a way you can import the after effects file on premier the way it looks on AE.
Â
Another problem is I read some boards and it has been suggested to edit the clips first on premier and then add effects on AE but I read this really late and I've already composited the whole film on AE. I just need premier for cutting now.
Â
P.S: I also thought about exporting the AE sequences as TGA files but there's ZERO space left in my internal hard disk for that, and it would take forever to export them all anyway. Any other kind of export would reduce the original quality which I dont want, and which I dont have space for anyway, so that option is out as well.

Why do artists use Photoshop for their digital art? I have Photoshop CS3, and it does have brushes and stuff, but I don't see why a professional artist would want this program for art rather than PHOTOGRAPH editing. This artist used Photoshop 5 for some of his earlier drawings, and Photoshop 5 which came out in 1997 seemed to create a great end result.
