Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 14 12:36 pm)
Hi Folks! Lady Cherry, You might also take a look at Adobe After Effects (the latest version is 4.1). I find it handles placing and manipulating still images and audio a bit more fluidly than its brother Premiere, which I tend to use more for simply splicing movies together. After Effects also allows you to create special effects to your movies using Photoshop filters and layers, although I think the latest version of Premiere now allows you to use Photoshop filters and plug-ins. If you're willing to do a little bit of digging--and if you're using a Mac--there's a neat little program that provided some decent movie and sound editing features at a fraction of the cost and RAM requirements of Premiere and Avid Cinema. It's called QuickFlix! and was made by the old Radius Co. My version still runs pretty well, even on OS 8.5; check out some of online boards or do a QuickFlix keyword search and maybe you can locate a copy. Hope this helps. Peter (Dr. Zik)
As you seem unusually well informed on the video gig, permit me to address the following your direction. With the universe of great free stuff out here I guess I've gotten spoiled. If not looking for 30fps NTSC video output, have you seen a good freeware utility that will allow you to compile & sync some type of sound files & some type of motion pictures at some resolution or frame rate? An AVI or MPEG or Quicktime freebee that will work without fancy (couldn't spell "high-fullootin") graphics cards? OR, have I just overlooked the obvious somewhere? Something already in Windows or an Adobe app?
Hi Folks!! floydd, you flatter me more than I deserve. There's a good bit of stuff out there--lemme give it some thought for a day or so. The timing of your question is actually good 'cause I'm researching that sort of stuff for fall classes. I'll post an answer here at the Forum or you can converse with me directly. My e-mail is DrZik@aol.com Peter (Dr. Zik)
Well I was going to add my two cents in here regarding Adobe Premiere 5.1a (my currently owned version) but since you've all got it under wraps...I'll save my money..haha. Just so you know though..if you're not planing on being serious with your avi's I wouldn't go with Premiere..it set me back $457 personally. So you might want to think about what you actually will use the software for in the future and that might help in deciding what you need best. PAN~
floydd: why do you want to limit the animation to 30fps? If you get television quality on the computer it looks kinda ugly. You don't need to limit the framerate to capture to television either, whatever equiptment is capturing should do that (ok, I lie. I have to reduce my monitor refresh rate to 50hz...but that doesn't have anything to do with the animation file) or am I answering the wrong question? SewerRat
Hi Folks!! floydd, SewerRat makes some good points. Most of my animations (I'll show them somewhere soon, I promise!) are currently rendered at 15fps, although I admit that their ultimate destination is CD-ROM. By the way: you should check out > Download.com < frequently for Mac or PC shareware and freeware that might give you some basic moviemaking abilities on your computer. I'll keep checking for other sources, and of course you can e-mail me if you want to talk more one-on-one. Peter (Dr. Zik)
