how to make a scotch tape effect, but what i'm looking for is creating duct tape (usually "silver" or brown) and/or masking tape (usually white or off-white). what do you suggest (ie what textures to use, any other layer styles, etc)?

How many times can an HDV Mini Cassette be used? Does footage quality go down as you re-record? Is it best to color bar the entire tape before recording onto it?

Alternatively, any font that already looks like that? The font used in those name tapes is Franklin gothic condensed, but I need to simulate the "stitches".
How I could create the tape with font and "label" font for a poster? Basically like the poster attached. Is this possible to download as a font possible this clean?Â

View 10 Replies View RelatedAm converting a VHS tape to DVD. So captured successfully (albeit with an EzCap device). Produced a fairly good quality AVI file and with no editing at all, used VS x2 to produce my mpeg compatible file.
Details of that file are here:
File Format: PAL DVD
File Size: 4,514,938 KB
Duration: 6056.920 Secs
Video Type: MPEG 2 Video, Lower Field First
Totoal Frames: 151,173 frames
Attributes: 24 bits 720 x 576, 16:9
Frame Rate: 25.000 frame/sec.
Data Rate: Variable (Max 6000 kbps)
Audio Type: Dolby Digital Audio
Total Samples 290.252,160 Samples
Attributes: 48000 Hz, 5.1 Channels
Layer: None
Bit Rate 384 kbps
Started a new project, imported the mpeg into the timeline and proceeded to produce my DVD folders. The only custom setting was to reduce the bitrate to 5,000 to get the whole file onto one DVD.
So far so good. Problem is slight out of sync audio towards the middle to end of the DVD. It gets progressively worse as if the audio is at a slightly different frame rate to the video! I have double checked my settings when burning the DVD folders and they are the same as the mpeg except for the bitrate and I have chosen LPCM Audio 48000 Stereo. I tried first with Dolby but that gave the OOS so thought I would try this new setting but the result was the same.
-I just installed the VideoStudio v10 software and it captures video fine, however I have an issue with the audio. The audio is present but for some reason there is a noticeable static on the video file. Im using a 2000 Sharp ViewCam VL-A10 monaural/analog 8mm camcorder to transfer video to my computer. Im confused because there is NO static on the original 8mm tape, when I play video on the camera, the sound is fine as well as when I plug it in to my TV set for playback. I dont understand where the static is coming from on the digital transfer? Ive tried several capture formats MPEG, DVD, AVI etc. the static is present on all versions. Im using the EasyCAP USB device with A/V plugs for capturing.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm a theatre student, and one of the software programs we have in our design studio is 3DS Max. We don't actually use it for theatre work (it's for another class we share the studio with,) but I'm interested in design work, so I thought I'd try to teach myself some of the basics, just to get a leg up.
I've used some design software before, so I'm not totally ignorant of the basics of using a program like 3DS, but I've been having some problems that I just can't figure out. I'm trying to model a chair. So far I've sketched out the seat base by using a box, with an added arc. I've joined, welded, and extruded by seat base, as well as moving it in the Z axis +18 inches. Secondly, I added some tape helpers, because I want to make sure the base is the right size. It was off a little bit, so I just selected the sketch in the top view, and the appropriate segments, and moved it a bit to meet up with the tape helper. However, here's where I run into problems.
If I move any part of my sketch while in the top view, it changes the models Z location in all other views. I've never had any problem like this before. I've tried everything I can think of, including locking the Z axis move in the objects hierarchy, but so far, no matter what I do, the object gets changed in all axis, even when I'm manipulating it in one axis.
I have to make a roll of tape in Inventor, but I'm not too familiar with/used to the program. It's the small invisible adhesive tape, like the kind you'd find in office. So far, I sketched and extruded the plastic part the tape gets wrapped around, which is basically just a small tube. I also have a rectangle that's really long for the actual tape part, and that's extruded but very thin. they're both made as standard.ipt files. I opened a standard.iam file to put them together using constraints, but I'm not exactly sure how. I have the edge of the rectangle on the outside of the circle, so I just have to wrap it around. I'm assuming I just bend the rectangle (tape) around the circle (plastic part), but I don't know how to do that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently started using OSX. Using CS6 Premier Pro on OSX Mavericks.I'm capturing DV tape from a Canon GL2.Both "Scene Detect" and "Tape" options selected.
Â
Two problems:
Â
1. Capture drops out at the first frame of video. I press record a second time and it proceeds to capture the rest of the tape. It almost looks like Premier is trying to determine the aspect ration of the material as the preview window appears to switch between 4:3 and 16:9.
Â
2. Scene Detect is off by a frame or two (not sure exactly how many). So basically the end of the shot has a frame or two of the next shot.
When I try to capture a video from camcorder-(HI 8 Tape) it starts to copy the stops and says tape is copy protected. Then program freezes. It worked last week and this is since svc pak 2 today.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from AJA K3 to a BMD Decklink HD Extreme.
Â
Initial testing went reasonably well - working at 1080psf23.98 - output was solid, tape layoffs and captures were frame accurate on short tests.
Â
I'm finishing up a long form 48 minute show, and the audio sync drifts over the course of the layoff. Â It's about 1 frame per 10 min of content.
Â
By 47:30+00, my audio is 5 frames early during Tape Output - a sync pop is at 47:29+19 - but picture is spot on. Â Usually I'm working in short form TVCs, so I may have never noticed this - but it's definitely a problem for longer work.
Â
To hit my delivery, I exported a ProRes QT, and laid off from FCP - kind of humiliating to have to depend on FCP for tape workflows.
Â
I also had problems batch capturing from 1080i tape - it could do individual clips if I manually set ins and outs, but Batch Capture never cued up properly in 1080i - it kept rolling back and forth over the cue point, tried 10 times, then gives it up. Â
Â
I've done this a hundred times with the AJA card and never had a problem - but the BMD is not nearly as solid... Â (Also performed the Batch Capture in FCP without issues - so the hardware and BMD software seem to be working fine - but not with Smoke.)

CalDigit HdPro2 RAID
Laying out multiple clips to tape from smoke 2013 (maybe in excess of 20 - 30 clips at one time) without having to 'ctrl/click' on each clip individually. In every previous edition of smoke I would be able to go to media library, highlight the folder with all the clips in and press 'output' and all clips would be taken to I/O menu. This is a must for multiple playouts to tape which some of us still have to do on a regular basis. AND don't get me started on having to re-timecode every clip individually because someone thought it a good idea to remove the 'step' (increment) timecode button.
And why if i use smoke2013 without the mac menu at the top do I not have an 'Output to' or 'Capture from' VTR menu.
I've been trying but I keep getting an error message that reads "Every Clip was Discarded: Max Depth:1"
I know the VTR is working because I was able to capture in Smoke.
MPEG video captured from a tape based camcorder in premiere cs5 will not import into lightroom 4.3. Why, when it is created in an adobe product?
View 15 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to take the square cd cover image and make a cassette tape cover, or j-card, with that image.
Here's a picture of a j-card template.
Right now all I want is the front cover, spine and tail. I wasn't sure if the templates I found were compatible so i tried to make my own template. What I did was make three separate ones. One for the front cover, one for the spine and one for the tail. I was able to take the square image and use the scale tool to make the image fit inside the front cover. The first problem I had was not knowing if the image quality was good enough to print. It seemed easier to use inches when I made the template and not pixels. So I made the front cover template 4 in by 2.5625 in. I exported the image as a jpg but the final image looked too small. So now I'm not sure how many pixels I need for a printable picture.
Now with the spine and tail most likely I'll just chose a background color and type over it...Artist, Album Name, Song Titles ext. My plan was to use the jpg images I exported and paste them together, then save that final image as a jpg. and print.
I wanted to draw a piece of duct....a transition piece to go from circular duct to rectangular duct, and make it so that the circular is offset from the rectangular.
I didn't need anything too pro so i started with a rectangle and a circle, then started drawing a few interconnecting lines. I tried a few 3D commands, but none of my usual seemed appropriate. What loft does?
quick search on yt: [URL].....
click - click - click and it's done! i reckon the whole shape could be done in under a dozen clicks!
gave SHELL a go with it and it's exactly what i was aiming for (never thinking i would get close). i've no idea why it is called 'loft' tho!
I am trying to place HVAC duct work in Revit 2014, and every time I draw the duct work I get a error message: A serious error has occurred. The current action hase been canceled. It is strongly recommended you save your work in a new file before continuing.

Is there a "BUG" in the systems side of Revit 2014, I have downloaded the Release 1 and the service pack 2 (which that is crap also).
Any dynamic block or any sort of add on for running HVAC flex duct in a drawing in AutoCAD LT 2D? I am trying to come up with any easy way to show more detailed duct work beyond just a single line.

I'm switching from Corel to Adobe and in transition I keep thinking ia have it and then I'm lost again. In CorelPaint, I could mask an area and then use a tool to add to or delete from the mask pixel by pixel or larger areas if I wanted by using a brush. I am REALLY good at it in Corel but can't figure it out yet in Photoshop. I can draw simple masks but not manipulate them.I hope this makes sense. I want to learn adding to and deleting a masked area. I looked at some online searches but here I am. In response to my last posting (another topic) I was directed to some tutorails and got it quickly.
