In this video, we take a 5K still frame and project it onto various surface objects to extrapolate a 3D scene from a flat photo. We use the projections to help align the surface objects to create perspective and parallax.
In part 1 of Projection in Action, we cover the types of projections available in Action. I am referring to the Projector node, Projected Texture Mapping and 3D Shape Projection. This is packed with information about how they work and the differences.
In this video, we learn how to conform a multi-layered EDL sequence with DPX file sequences in Flame Premium 2015. Workflow plus lots of tips and tricks along the way.
In this video, we take a look at the workflow of using the extended bicubic surface as a means of digital retouching an image. Enhance the talents face or body with this useful technique.
In this video, we use the perspective surface to assist with stabilization and clean up instead of tracking a new object into a shot. A very useful technique to cleaning shots where perspective is involved.
In this video, we cover the tracking workflow allows you to track the perspective of a planar surface instead of the traditional 4 corner tracking.
In this video, we look using 3D shapes to create the light wrapping effect around a keyed talent. Using the 3D shape technology to solve a series of 2D compositing challenges.
This video covers user issues with loading TimelineFX colour correction setups in Action. Why you don't see them, how to load them and the general workflow.
In this video, we look at a compositing technique that helps you remove objects or create a clean plate for compositing purposes. Using the 3D shape technology to solve a series of 2D compositing challenges.
This video show you how to manage edge gradients when working with closed splines forming a 3D shape. Create round edges on 3D shapes. Also a bit of fun with Replica nodes.
This video shows you how to create 3D shapes using open mask splines. This includes using edge gradients as part of the workflow and the different options when using edge gradients.
This video covers the workflow to step or offset the timecode of a selection of clips. Very important for versioning and outputting of clips with logical timecodes.
This video goes through the workflow of setting up and importing a SVG file into Action as 3D shapes. A great way to get vector artwork into Flame Premium and convert it into 3D object with extrusions.
This video goes through the control you have when working with the extruded profile of the 3D shape. Please note that the profile tools are also applicable to 3D Text.
This video covers the different options for combining splines when building a 3D shape. Use these functions to build complex 3D shapes when required.
This video introduces the 3D Shape in Action. Workflows are discussed and the basic fundamentals of the 3D shape are covered.
This video shows you how to always see your main Batch context even if you are editing or working on a source clip used in Batch.
This video does a brief introduction of collaborative workflows in Flame Premium 2015. Detailed explanations of the Shared Libraries and user case scenarios are covered.
This video goes through all the functionality of the Library section of the Workspace. This includes media management and organisation.
This video goes into the Media Panel functionality in detail. This includes the Tiles View and Dual view to give a better user experience using the Media Panel.
This videos goes through all the workflows of saving, loading and deleting using the new Desktop Workflow.
This videos shows how the Desktop has become an integrate part to working with Flame Premium 2015.
This video breaks down the Project Workspace and how the Media Panel is used to show the Workspace Structure.
This video goes through the changes in Project Management and User Profiles when starting Flame Premium 2015.
This video introduces the new Desktop Workflow in Flame Premium 2015. To save all your work, save the desktop!
This video shows assemble a bunch of source clips similar to the "Load and Join" behaviour of previous versions. You'll see how to multi-assemble clips very quicks as well as the various options for horizontal and vertical assembly.
This video shows you how to manage a Matte Container's alpha in Batch when the Matte Container has a COMP Timeline FX. You'll see the settings to control this as well as what to do to get the most out of Matte Containers.
This video runs through the Bilinear and Perspective Surfaces. We cover the Bilinear surface workflow including the new workflow replacing the edit offset controls. We also look at the difference between Bilinear and Perspective Surfaces.
This video goes through some of the extra options now available for Action Surfaces. This includes expanding and cropping the surface as well as the surface's polygon resolution controls to efficiently use the 3D Compositing environment.
We go through all the available modes to work with this functionality as well as introduce some workflows like localised warping with the Extended Bicubic Surface.
