aww thank you so much guys!! @KnightsFan I'm trying to separate the main character from a static shot where the camera doesnt move... The photoshop idea is a good one – i did that with another shot, worked great~! @Hans Punk ahh, an occlusion layer~! let me look that up lol, thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Guys, I'm trying to roto two four second clips for my short and it's been so hard~! What the heck is going on?! Am I doing stuff all wrong?? Tell me what you think: All instances where I need to roto are removing people from a background. The camera is not moving at all. One clip does have a fairly problematic background, as far as hues that blend with the actor's face. I get that. But even with the other clip I feel like I'm having way too much trouble. I've been trying to get this done in AE with the Roto brush + roto refine edge tool, and I also tried in Mocha AE. With the roto brush, the selections arent accurate, and it takes a ton of refining with the option key, and THEN it doesnt track well at all. I was doing SOoo much work frame by frame that I was like Heck, I'll try Mocha. So in mocha, I did the whole thing twice – first time I added way too many points and I was like Oh thats why its not tracking well. So I did it again, and... SAME result... the "tracking" aspect of the software is working, just really poorly~! (???) Roto is something I dont have experience with, but Im not a dummy and I can follow a tutorial?? What's going on here? Are my expectations just out of wack? How do you guys do roto? I'm so frustrated because if I'd just literally gone frame by frame with my wacom in photoshop this would be done by now!!! Any suggestions/insight would be much appreciated Sadly, K

omg

@KnightsFan that is great info, thank you so much!!!

ahhh, thank you guys! @ all: i actually have a timeline in resolve that is 98% colored and complete, but i need to do some things in AE: some compositing that involves roto, and some retiming. i *could* do that stuff in fusion, but id have to download the new resolve (im running 14 right now), and thats more than id like to get into if possible. my computer is also reaching its playback limitations in resolve at the moment. im good with just doing my composite shots in AE, and bringing them back into resolve to render the whole thing thank you all for underscoring that an additional unnecessary rendering step is a bad idea!

hi

Hi guys! my 5d3 raw ML short is coming along, and my plan is to take the graded resolve edit into after effects for finishing, some compositing and touch up 1) does that sound ok? (lol) 2) whats the best practice for export? 3) anything i should know? i have no previous experience with the above 4) THANK Uuuuuuu

this thread is AHmazing

wait a min, am i supposed to be using headphones? is that the problem ? binaural recording is awesome!

YES, i HAVE~! and its CRAZY ??? im so glad you brought this up @Grimor, i was gonna start a thread to ask the same question guys, type "ASMR" into youtube search and look at the views... its wild~! i personally get *nothing* out of this, but i think its great that girls can just make videos like this and get youtube rich now... why am i even doing narrative? i could just be sucking on a fake ear posted two weeks ago. lookit the views

thank you guys! i was shooting on the top level of a parking garage with IS off until mall security came to complain... i need my own security guard... security to stop the security... ?

you can discuss the technique all you want, but when people write that they LOVE IT in CAPITAL LETTERS... it doesnt get any better than that

Guys – I have to get some shots tomorrow with a locked down camera that is not moving at all, in order to do some double exposure effects in post. I'm gonna be using my 24-105 IS L f/4 SO.... in my mind there is no reason that IS should be on, and it could possibly create bad results, and that's common knowledge. TRUE OR FALSE?

no kidding. thats a problem. if one of those trees goes up the whole mountain is on fire ?

im sold on dark skies and springs and bighorn sheep id go yeah guys, socal is crazy. riverside county is huge too! i live up in the san bernardino mountains heres a picture thru my living room window!!! its so peaceful i love it

ah, so in January when the festival happens its beautiful weather someone should have a fest in the worst weather possible... or just some extreme conditions. its a good gimmick some crazy shit like this

@fuzzynormal omg lol i looked it up and i forgot that BS is in SD county ? its huge ppl dont get that. like when I think of San Diego, where does it end....? no one rlly knows does BS have "springs"? that sounds enticing. did u know it snowed?? sometimes
