GOLLY! I mean, GREAT GOLLY GRACIOUS!
I spent almost 8 hours yesterday rotoscoping a "simple" masking project. Something I'll be happy to share with y'all once it's truly done!
It was all masking using Vegas' cool masking tool. I'm not sure if it would have been easier in Boris, but it was all done in Vegas.
I started and re-started several times every time I learned a new technique or system.
But MAN! That was a task!
Question: once I get a few dozon key frames in there, and I want now to put in a feather on the mask, do I really have to go into EACH keyframe and change it to "Both" and ".05" (for example)?
As I mentioned, I'm a bit spoiled on the way Boris handles keyframes, where I can affect an aspect either on a keyframe level, on a track level or globally.
And now for an offer! I'm willing to pay someone to do what I said I can do, but turns out thatI can't: I need an artist to go into two clips and draw some lines (actually it's a chain, but it's far enough away that a messy line would probably suffice). Each clip is about 4 seconds and there are two chains in each. One person is pulling each chain, which is supposed to look as though it's "attached" to a CG object. I need to extend the chain from where I had to mask it out and make it look like it's attached to the CG object. I'm guessing a good artist could do it in less than a night. I have money and am willing to pay for this.
Please write me personally at mjrATmatthewroddyDOTcom
My deadline is Tuesday night, so please write soon, if you're interested.
Oh yeah... I'm editing in HD YUV, but will eventually deliver in SD. So I'd put the clips up on my server for pretty big download (each clip is about 430meg!).
Thank you!
