Film Look for Video

Chapter: Visual and Creative Effects

Topic: Film Look

These notes from Victor (moviemaker at sprint ca) appeared on the TRV900 mailing list in August, 1999. It describes techniques you can use to make your videos look more film. Many people think of the “film look” as having more desirable, artistic qualities than we usually associate with video.

Avid Xpress Pro: Modify Source Reel Names in Avid

Chapter: Editing

Topic: Clip and Media Management

A common question from editors is “How can I change the names of the tapes that my assistant logged for me?” Here I will show you how you can change the name of a tape. This is not the same as modifying a clip’s source, I’m referring here to taking an existing source tape and telling the Avid to call it something different. The tape is the same, no timecodes are changed, we’re just changing its name. Shows OS 9 screen shots and may be slightly dated, although the principle will be the same.

Build a Cyc in your Garage!

Chapter: Keying

Topic: Blue and Green Screens

This article features how I turned my garage into a digital green cyclorama using a combination of materials found locally for well under the costs of what a traditional cyclorama costs. [An old article but nothing that stops the cyc from working!]
