Mitrazapine Does It Work

details of film production

After several hours, the video is fully edited. Next week Tuesday (December 9 ) are still being touched up small blemishes.
In the next posts are a few reviews to be included and the sound is again more detailed way.

are some details of the section, technical aspects and problems are also explained in this post. Screenshots on the various topics to ensure clarity.

We just these issues in the workflow have a closer look because they have either prepares the biggest problems (significant time factor) or because they are best document the learning progress in relation to the first project.


to Eindigitalisieren:

Since there have been at our last project is already on this problem with 4:3 and 16:9, want We take this opportunity to explain (for the last time improved) capture short.

The starting material was consistently and without exception recorded in 16:9 and the associated settings captured (see one of the previous posts).

We have consciously decided to digitize all the material and to extract useful not only clips. The reason was the continuous availability of sound even when unusable images. The camera teams are often concentrated in some places even during the filming only the audio. These "sound-sections" we were able to identify our cards.

Screenshot 1 : long digitized traces

So we had a whole lot of large and long tracks. Each camera team had to create the task from their own very long film sequences much shorter. The minor sequences were consistently sorted. This happened on multiple Macs. The division of labor made us much faster to get the required results, that is, only to get even smaller, usable and designated scenes from the bulk of the footage.

Screenshot 2: smaller scenes

It was a huge job as we had to edit almost 5 hours of footage. The attribution of the clips we made further work enormously. We have not, however, held out for every single cut scene to later in the assembly of the individual sequences to keep track. This extra effort has paid off in retrospect, because we could thus work much faster and more accurate.

has produced clips After 9 hours the team finished the first of the Starz Production Schnitttag. Nevertheless, we had more material to be produced from the clips had to ..........

The Problem: Media reconnect

The problem lay in the fact that our many small groups, their coarse-cut blade material, all differently organized and stored.

Screenshot 4. media again

As a next group the next day combine to cut the project file was opened cpr, continuous indication of the different media are offline. As the clips from different raw material of our individual groups are composed, it was not enough the command "reconnect media" to press again. Rather painfully had to the individual files are searched for and could be individually. Especially since the problem was that the project file on some computers could easily open and not on other. Following solution to the rescue: the automatic location of Final Cut was placed by us on the external hard drive. Now the project work on all computers.

Screenshot 5: laying the location

The problem that is described here in a few sentences, was extremely time consuming and cost a lot of nerve. It was at this point the inexperience of the program, when masses of clips must be managed. The organization of files over 5 hours of footage is elementary. To have a next project this additional knowledge, and we would be more accurate data set for storage procedure for each group.

The Problem: Manual

It appeared while cutting time to time small and especially larger problems. We therefore decided several times to consult the manual.
We were frankly shocked already that the scope of the manual is 2243 pages. Here we were reminded once again that we work with a professional program and problems here, with our limited experience, probably self-evident. The difficulty was, however, that you will only find in the manual, if you know the technical term. If not, the search giant in the PDF is very tiring. There were also more often that our search term occurred on any of the over 2000 pages.

window to canvas:

Window Canvas located next to the viewer window, was later in the section extremely helpful. Especially the drag and drop was a function that we have the first project was not all that followed. Clicking on a clip in the Viewer window, holding down the mouse while moving the clips to the Canvas window, a selection of commands such as "Act" or "Overwrite" (so-called canvas editing). The feature improves the overall workflow considerably.

Screenshot 9: discovered arrangement of the tracks (detail)

Also in the Canvas window belonging Timeline We useful functions. We used not only the horizontal, sequential arrangement of the individual files, but used in some places the horizontal editing. If you activate the button bottom left of the timeline, the transparency of the top video tracks with the mouse in the respective clips are regulated (see the intro in the movie).

By and large, we used, however, the effects of these scanty reasons:

1) The excessive use of unconventional effects can easily lead to a rather unprofessional results. Many effects from Final Cut are in our opinion, more of a gimmick.
2) In part, the effects are difficult to edit to obtain the desired result. A good, simple cut is often better than a bad effect.
3) Effekteditierung is often very time consuming.

Screenshot 10: innumerable effects

The Viewer window:

A very useful feature we have found out at that window. We have recovered no more a movie snippets, but still knew which camera crew filmed the scene looking for, we have all the material loaded into the viewer. We then set the desired sequence by the In and Out markers defined (i and o keys) and then have them in drag and drop the timeline where you want it pulled.

Screenshot 11: Viewer and Canvas

The Viewer window, we have also used for our Effekteditierung (see post "Basic Overview of the progress of the cut"). It also is used to perform color corrections. Since we have only meticulous care in this project to the white balance of each location change, a color correction in the viewer was as good as necessary. Our fear that we could not see the images of different cameras belonging to one another, has not been confirmed to happiness.
