Subject: Compositing Poser Animation


Ridley5 ( ) posted Thu, 09 October 2008 at 11:20 AM · edited Wed, 04 December 2024 at 10:18 PM

I generated about a dozen AVI clips at 1600 x 1050.  Does anyone know a good program (free or otherwise) that will let me combine/edit them and output at the same resolution?  Movie Maker 2 seems to only output at 640 X 480.  I read horror stories about Pinnacle Studio, but nothing official yet on Adobe Premiere CS4 for professional level editors.  Anyone using CS3 ? I'm running Vista 32.

i run the full adobe suite, level CS2. So far I have not had to use Premier; I do everything I need in After Effects.

AE should be able to open your clips, you can put them on the timeline, apply filters and transitions, insert text/titles, then output the entire thing.

Now, I output to apple's H.264 but AE can output to other codex.

How much post-processing do you have to do, over and above just stringing the clips together?

I heard very good opinion about Jahshaka.
I tried to make some clips with this editor but interface knock me down. Anyway it is freeware, probably powerful tool.

Good luck

I use Premiere, and it does everything you want.

For a cheaper alternative, you could try Editstudio. I think there is a version of Editstudio that is free. The latest version costs $89. I used EditStudio professionally for many years, doing work for TV, so it is well capable.

aaargh! don't render these things as AVI's!

Never ever, not even with zero compression.

Compression makes compositing a bear, because you'll never get a clean edge or alpha, and recompressing the composite will produce lots of artifacts.

When rendering Poser animations, save as numbered TIFs . . . Poser will save out a perfect alpha with each one.

Will make your life way easier.

On the PC, I use Discreet Combustion (an old version, which works just fine). Jahshaka seems very similar.

(BTW: love your "Corman's Comeback" image)

Just re-rendered everything as TIFS and composited in Premiere.  Works flawlessly.  Thanks for that crocodilian and glad you liked the pic.

You could also make them flash using  MotionArtist :)

Or this for avi  http://www.bobyte.com/AviTricks/  it's free

Oops my bad, it is not free anymore..used to be though.,.but it's about $20,, still cheap for a non linear editor. But look hard on the page,,the classic version is still free, but I think it is limited in features.. well of course it is..LOL
