We retired our SD Mojo today and found it had been weeping silently in the corner for who knows how long. Poor guy :(

You should really know both.
I usually work in reality TV and all that's ever been for me is Avid, but then I've never done anyone's music video or short film without FCP.
Both are prevalent enough that you'd be cutting yourself out of a lot of opportunities to just learn one.

I guess its the legacy of the 30-50yo editors there and I'm not sure, but sharing a central raid for projects and media between suites might suit Avid more.

FCPX, Motion and Compressor are up now on the app store.

Anyone willing to take the plunge and report back on it?

All I want to do with it is set up a bedroom operation for music videos, so I'm still excited.

Just came in to work to find our grading CRT swapped for this

OLED :swoon:
I'm gonna bring in my PS3 tomorrow night and watch some blurays on this thing.

Does anyone have some advice on getting rid of the moire that's screwing up this shot (right around 0:50)? It's a line-drawing given to me by an artist, so I'm not sure how best to deal with it.

I brought it into After Effects, did a lossless render, and I don't see the moire in FCP or the quicktime file when I export it, but I get it when I compress it. I've tried putting some blur on image to try to fix it, but that didn't work either. I know it's the thinness of the lines but I'm not sure on the best way to proceed to knock it out.

Did you shrink the resolution during compression? It might be resizing without interpolation.

Anyone know of a Premiere plugin that will give me the effect that the last.fm player puts over its art? I dont know how to describe it, but heres an example.



Be careful. If anyone views it with any large amount of compression, like on Youtube, the hashing will probably just smear.
And if it's viewed downsampled from the native resolution it'll moire like nuts.

You could try Lightworks.

I don't know how robust it is in the free beta, but in previous incarnations it was used commercially in TV and Film production.

Yo. A little bit of Avid help, if you please.
I've got backups of cards for a show for AMA consolidation and all that. I'm fine with what to do regularly, but I've got a few instances of files split over multiple cards and I can't figure out how to get Avid to read the whole split take as one.
For example, Card 12 will have 'SHOT123_01', Card 13 will have 'SHOT123_02'-'SHOT123_04' and Card 13 will have 'SHOT123_05'.
When loading the AMA from the first card only that part will show up. 6 minutes out of a 40min take. The parts of SHOT123 will not access on their own, so I can't even build it out of three or five chunks.

Anyone know what to do to get this to load in as a single file?

Post supervisor just told me to put all the AMA'ed parts in one bin first, then they'll consolidate as one. I haven't tried it yet.

The thought occurred to me but it's a classical music concert and these people are nigh supernatural in their ability to notice stuff like that.

Would it be possible to stretch 24p video out an average of 1fps through frame interpolation then sync it up to unaltered audio in pal?
Hopefully it can work without something eventually noticeable happening exactly once per second.

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.

Who are your clients? Layfolk who need a video made will have a much higher cheese threshold than directors/producers who are looking for an editor.

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.
