Yeah I forgot to tell you about that. I figured the movie couldn’t look any worse that it wasn’t worth mentioning that the director of the film thinks My Chemical Romance are “Super awesome”.
Hey Matt, do you have any screen capturing software?
Because that’s what I’d use for “converting” Flash to video… there’s so much pains-in-the-arse involved with Flash to Video conversion, and I’ve found the most reliable way is to simply run a localised screen capture of a Flash player using a program like SnagIt. :)
Good luck man (and wish me some, I’m constantly asking myself “WYJD?”… What would James do if he were here helping me with After Effects and Masked Adjustment Layers?)
I think I’ve played around with screen capturing stuff in the past with no luck, but I might end up trying it out if I can’t get a decent lag-free version. Also I need to export as 1920 by 1080 which is larger than my resolution. I’m thinking of actually exporting as a PNG sequence and compositing that into so After Effects or something, but there’s no time for that at this point.
Thanks for the advice though, I’ll check out some software for it and see how that goes.
Oh and good luck with the After Effects.
Turns out exporting to .mov format from Flash is still the hardest thing to do in the world. I either get the file completely giving up and only loading a handful of frames per minute, or works perfectly fine aside from any sort of panning or tweening or movement that isn’t lip syncing just lagging like crazy. Or the file just completely spazzes out. Or Flash just crashes.
So I’m guessing today will be dedicated to messing with every possible setting to just an okay video export.
And for whatever reason my video exports from Final Cut for my movie after colour correcting and adding sound won’t run on my PC. Not sure if it’s outdated codecs or what but I hope it works on the school computers still.
Put the finishing touches on my film today. Just minor stuff like playing around with the effects and the colours so make sure it was cheesy and low-grade and cheese enough but not overdoing it.
Just gotta put some minor changes to my sci fi short and title sequence then I’m set.
Colour corrected my movie today in class with help from the guy next to me (forgot his name). Fairly happy with the results. A lot of desaturation, some film grain over my titles and credits, more yellows for a low grade video look, etc.
EDIT: oops, forgot to thank Mitchell with his help with colour correcting. I knew it began with an M.
