VideoStudio :: How To Create Ultra High Resolution Maps For Movie

Mar 24, 2013

I have for a long time struggled with obtaining hi resolution maps to include in my movies of trips I have done.

I have searched the internet for images of such maps for download and even used screen shots when using Google Earth.

I always wanted a higher resolution so that I could ZOOM in without the image becoming too fuzzy due to the fact that I was ending with an image of only (say) 512 x 288.

I am also a fan of FSX (M/S Flight Simulator) and recently taught myself how to create photo-realistic scenery which uses the TILES from Google Earth to create extra large (in pixels) images of parts of the world.

Today I realised that I could use the same to create images for maps to use in movies (I recently created an image around 5200 x 3000 pixels - the only limit to image size is how much memory you have and so using a 64bit processor and system works a lot.

It is named sBuilderX and it is available from [URL]....There is documentation within the zip file HOWEVER to create the image files for hires maps you will need to search for and download file make_photo-real_ground_textures_in_fs_x.zip which is available as a free download at [URL]...

You may need to join the web site (FREE) to enable the download.

Within sBuilderX you can choose to use Google Earth or or Microsoft Live Virtual Earth, terrain or streets. Also note that the image files are BGL files only however you can change those to JPG if required.

Hope this may have useful for few people who like to include hires maps (which they can use zoom without loosing sharpness) in their movies.

AutoCad :: PDF With High Resolution Image Huge File Size

Jan 14, 2014

I am trying to export PDFs of drawings with a high resolution image covering almost an entire A1. I realize of course that the file will be very large but it is much larger than I feel it should, and there are also some discrepancies.

The original image is around 100 MB, but only about half is visible in the viewport, so the PDF should be around 50 MB if there is no compression (only negligible amounts of text and lines besides the image), however if I plot it to a PDF using Adobe PDF, setting the resolution to 300 dpi and medium JPEG compression the resulting file is 150 MB. If I choose 72 dpi and low JPEG compression the file looks very bad and compressed but is still around 40 MB in size. This is far too large considering the amount of compression visible in the image, it looks like a 500 KB file tops.

However if I use the DWG to PDF printer instead of the Adobe PDF I can get a very good looking file at around 2,5 MB. Very suitable for printing, but the compression shows if you look up close in the computer (which is a requirement for these files). The odd thing here is that it makes no difference what resolution I set it to, 150 DPI to 1200 DPI creates the same looking file at exactly the same size. I'd like to be able to create a 2,5 MB file to email and a very high quality file for archivation, but not 150 MB large.

Another odd thing is that if I print another file but with the same type of image (a different facade) with 1200 DPI I get a very high quality file of 40 MB, but if I repeat the exact steps and settings for the first file I end up with a 150 MB file. Of course some differences in the image would account for some of this, but not nearly of this magnitude. I deleting everything from the large file and copying in the content from the small file, and successfully printed a 40 MB file again, so there doesn't seem to be some setting or bug in the file I am printing from, rather something in the original file with the image that I have Xref'ed.

How I would go about creating a very high quality file that doesn't bloat up way more than the original image? A 40 MB file is great considering the images are huge, but I can't get this result consistently.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Importing And Using Alpha Channels In Autodesk

Oct 2, 2012

I am experimenting with Smoke 2013 pre-trial and I am having issues with importing images and video with alpha channels.

1. If I have a layered Photoshop file or png with an alpha channel (a still frame lower third), I see that I can import it as a multi layered clip, but what is the best way to have it in the sequence to show up properly?

2. If I have a QuickTime in animation format or Pro Res4444 format with an embedded alpha, how can I import that file to show and cut it on a top layer to animate above my video?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Output Resolution Of The CFX

Dec 6, 2012

When applying CFX to the clip it ignores resolution of the project and the time line and creates a resolution of the whole CFX based on clip.

In other words 1080 clip in 720 timeline creates CFX with 1080 out node, ( all action creates in 1080 swell) and only then send 1080 output to timeline where it applying resize soft effect. I know i can change resolution of action, but a can't change resolution of output node ( the las node that feeds output to timeline.) Is there an easy way to work around to feed lets say 720 to escape resizing in timeline.

AutoDesk Smoke :: R3D Import Resolution Incorrect?

Aug 4, 2012

I'm trying to import 4K-5K R3D files from an Epic into my 1920x1080 project. Oddly enough, Smac thinks the clips are 1280x675 resolution. Why and how can I get them in at 1080HD or even larger?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Auto Stabilizing High Resolution Clip?

Feb 4, 2013

I've been trying to use the auto stabilize module on the desktop on a R3D clip that's at full 5K and I've been encountering some problems.

I can't seem to process the stabilization at anything higher than 1080p. But I need the extra info in the 5K in order to crop into the footage.

When I'm trying to analyze the footage, I'm getting the error: "Cannot read all frames required for the analysis"

So far I've tried:

-Caching the footage

-Converting the R3D to full 5K DPX and importing that

-Using proxies at 50% frame size and do the analysis on the proxies

So far nothing seems to be doing the trick, the proxy frames did go through the analysis, but when I applied the correction on the high-res the module gave me an error and crashed.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Importing MTS Files

Jun 12, 2012

Since the aim of this pre release is to squash bugs there is another thing I found out so far:

The media library crashes when I enter a folder containing .MTS files (AVCHD file container for the Pana AF100 & Sony FS100 for example).

I think these medias should be transcoded automatically since it's a popular codec right now but unusable for edit.

AutoDesk Smoke :: 2012 SP3 Crash On Importing Files?

May 29, 2012

Any time the gateway scans a directory, which has a clip that has stereo audio, Smoke hangs. Is this a bug? Specifically the file was a Canon 7D file which had audio recorded with it. The crash does not happen when we try a file without audio or a file whose audio has been converted to mono. The file was directly from the camera. Same thing happens when it is a Prores HQ file with Stereo audio.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Importing Corner Pin Data From Mocha Pro?

Mocha support have been very useful, and the problem is not to do with aspect ratio or frame size. The track looks perfect inside Mocha.I've followed the exact process featured in the link below.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Colour Shift On Importing RGB Uncompressed QT

Jun 25, 2012

I have a job done in Smoke 2012 Subscription Advantage Pack and exported an RGB uncompressed QT. I can pull this pack into the same software version on any of the other 14 Smoke on macs I have and it is exactly the same as the original. I have installed the new bug fixed Smoke 2012 Subscription Advantage Pack2 and this same clip comes in with a large colour shift. The whole image is about 10% darker! I have exported the same clip as YUV2 uncompessed QT and also a TARGA sequence and pulled these into both software versions and it is identical to the origianl. NO CLOLOUR SHIFT.

I also have 2013 beta version and I'm getting the same colour shift.

Have you done something to the colour management of RGB Uncompressed QT's in your newer software releases.

All my masters source files have been RGB uncompressed QT's for years and this is now causing big concerns.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Get Time Estimate On Backburner Importing

Dec 4, 2012

Today I was messing around with import. Tried to pull in 100GB of footage and found it took nearly 1hr 45 mins over USB3. I know the slow speed was down to the rubbish hard drive I was pulling from but it would have been really useful to know that it was going to take 1hr 45mins. I could've gone to the pub!

We get a time estimate on backburner importing? I also wanted to check that smac 2013 isn't throttled anywhere on import speeds? I know that smoke all the way up to 2010 vsn was throttled so that you would never get import as fast as your disks could go.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Importing And Caching Media In ProRes 422

Feb 13, 2013

I've been running the trial for a week with no problems importing and caching media in ProRes 422. Today when I booted up smoke I attempted a similar practice run with importing some random clips and playing around again and noticed that nothing was getting cached. When I clicked import it said it could not connect to backburner on port 0.

There appear to be a couple of threads regarding this issue where people lose the ability to cache media or export using backburner. I followed a thread posted here: [URL] ....

I tried restarting backburner, restarting the mac, reinstalling smoke and attempted the "clean install" script that is listed in the article above. After I performed the terminal commands and reinstalled Smoke, it connects to backburner but now in the jobs tab/backburner manager says it is waiting (occasionally switches to "busy" for a second or two).

Here's the error I get in backburner manager:
Matthews-MacBook-Pro.local 1946321280 swBIOSubJobServer.C:385 02/13/13:16:23:24.347
1946321280 swBIOAdapter.C:454 02/13/13:16:23:25.403 Cannot process tasks 0... in /var/tmp/WireJob/SubJob0
Unimplemented feature while reading source frames

I'm running Smoke on an internal SSD and my framestore is also on an internal HDD, but I can't imagine that's an issue since I had already successfully imported media before.

I also attempted to export a sequence of soft imported footage (also failed). The error is below:

Matthews-MacBook-Pro.local 2893642280 transcoderMediaProvider.C:312 02/13/13:16:56:30.268 Cannot get type of clip IFFFS-16:/stonefs7/Stinkzone/workspace/Media Library/_Export_130213_165628_1/H_16777343_S_1360792589_U_170633/hires: Project Stinkzone not found

This isn't the first time I've had something like this happen.

Illustrator :: JPG Places Huge At Screen Resolution?

Jul 26, 2013

I have been using illustrator since 1988 and I am not sure why all of a sudden this is happening. I must have clicked the wrong box or something. I save a jpg from my psd file at 5 x 6 inches at 300 dpi. I place it into my letter sized page in illustrator CS5 and it comes out huge. I look at the bar at the top at it says its 72ppi.

Just earlier today, it place fine and viewed like a 300 dpi file. What did I mess up to make this happen all of a sudden.Why is it placing at 72 ppi?
 
I checked InDesign and it places fine.

I place the psd file and it places fine.

But the jpg places huge at screen resolution.
 
I understand the difference between print vs screen resolution.
