Nice, Josh. Really liked the intro.

Seriously why do even still images of your angles look so much better than everyone elses? What are you doing to them?

^ that has some good DOF on it. And as someone who is into filmmaking,  local would make a great cinematographer. 

You know what would be fucking awesome? If you could choose different lenses while in theater. Just a random thought

How can someone possibly pass up Premiere/After Effects integration for editing montages....yall are crazy

 

I can work significantly faster in Vegas due to how it's setup compared to Premiere.  Also call me crazy, but for me Premiere Pro CS6 is remarkably inflexible, or rather remarkably linear in workflow. It has a lot of nice features with dynamic link and a smooth process from creation to export but I don't like how so much of the controls and options are set in stone the moment you start your project.

 

This came up when I was finishing editing a film from another editor and they setup the wrong sequence. And I had to go back and retroactively fix a ton of media elements and sequences manually because none are updated or can't be updated, have to be recreated from scratch.

 

Also fuck razor tools.

you have no idea how much I've wished for this...... oh well. manual dof does me fine. 

and thanks man ^

edit: and yumbles, this is the original: 

depth of field looks best if you also darken, & desaturate the out-of-focus parts. to simulate lighting effects that would be used on a real film set.

halo 1 editors feel my pain 

edit: should probably explain

halo ce wont let you move your spartan while moving the camera so you either have a lobby setup with 2 people or use solstice which isnt working for me atm or record an animation that you activate with a script in game while you are on the camera ...i have no control of what the spartan does its a previous recording of my movements but now i can move the camera as i like

it's a shame you scrapped that, I was really digging it.

@Puba that looks super classy

@ JoshNgton so it works like COD or CS demos? pretty damn cool.

I tried to find something similar to record cinematics in H2V but it seemed like a huge pain in the ass

Looking for feedback on an edit I'm currently working on. There are 2 clips, I've only worked on one as of now. Tried some new stuff and am curious what should be changed. Thanks in advance!

mask @ 9 seconds in looked silly, other than that not bad

Something I made the other night

I worked on a new "endslate" design for my videos. Just a little popup which shows social-info. MIght update the YT one to have subscribe on it, maybe ontop of it. And then make the animation heavier like it is holding something more. Overall it took maybe 9 hours to make, lots of expressions and nulls to get the animation and random motion correct.

That looks very smooth crest, I'm not surprised that took you 9 hours to polish.

It was very frustrating, mainly because I had to make a chain of nulls, after I made the expressions. In the end it makes my design more modular. I went and precomped a lot of it. I can go into a sign-comp and just change it how I see fit and it updates automatically. No need to reanimate. 

I sure did learn a lot from it though, and I really love using really sharp animation curves to give it that cartoony personality.

Fun with colours!

That's awesome man! Mind if I use that on the THF Twitter? 
Go ahead!
Sweet! Thanks :) 

Probably not the most original ideas for an angle, but I've wanted to do this for a while now.

trying to do this tutorial on digital tutors ...im such a noob, literally everything takes like an hour to do   -maya for whoever wants to know

I have a subscription to DigitalTutoris through my university.

 

Site is fucking awful. Terrible instructors in my opinion.

not gonna flood the thread with them, so these will be the last ones for a while

@JoshNgton, please link me to a tutorial/tools needed. Ladder climbing video is fuckin' beautiful.

@Crest, that animation is butteryyy dude. Looks very, very nice.

@Lat3ksi, very sick lookin' IMO.

need some help. i was stupid last time and tried to correct it with changing cc and stuff, but maybe there is an easy fix. i have problems importing my recorded mp4 files into sony vegas. when i import the files, they get darker and a higher contrast, it seems, and i have no clue why. with my reach tage i tried to fix it by changing the brightness and messing with the colors, but that didn't look good (still went with it, but whatever). so i was wondering if there is something i can do to prevent the problem rather than trying to fix it.

This is a pic of the original recorder video:


and this is an screenshot from how it is shown in sony vegas after importing it, without having touched any other effects or settings:

 

any help would be really appreciated

thanks. couldn't find the color space option, but in the properties tab i did find what i needed, partly due to your 8-bit suggestion. as it might be helpful for others, i'll show yall what i did:

i messed with both the 'pixal format'  (PF) as the 'view transform' (VT) options in the properties tab. 

ORIGINAL


AUTO (for me: PF= 32-bit floating point (full range) and VT= ACES RRT (sRGB)) - darker and more contrast than original


PF= 32-bit floating point (video levels) OR 8-bit (same outcome, no VT-options possible) - slightly brighter than original


PF= 32-bit floating point (full range) and VT= Off - basically the same as orginal


when using PF= 32-bit floating point (full range) with VT turned not off, you get slight variations on the AUTO one above

New video should be out next week.

Just got some inspiration.

Fun with colours!

That looks quite fun :)  Where's that release?

Puba that looks fucking sick I wanna mess around with vue sometime soon

Who knows when this will be out. We are all super busy and have too high of standards for our clips, plus I scrapped an entire song. 

I feel like making a trailer for a montage that wont be out any time soon, hasn't been started on even yet and might not even ever be released. Would it be of any use?

If you wanna do it, do it! Think of it as practice for any future editing you might do
