I get a pop-up message saying Quicktime can't play the clip and the required resources are not on the server. Boyd Ostroff July 15th, 2005, 08:26 PM I get the same error... Travis Maynard July 15th, 2005, 08:27 PM Very pretty scenery that's for sure. Nice footage!! Do you guys have the newest quicktime? I believe that is all that will play video encoded with that codec. Patrick King July 15th, 2005, 08:35 PM Travis, I'm not certain, but I think Q7 is still Mac only. Man I wish Quicktime and Windows Media Video would both go away in favor of platform neutral codecs. Kevin Calumpit July 15th, 2005, 09:34 PM some very nice footage hope all goes well with the release Kalani Prince July 15th, 2005, 10:15 PM Sorry guys, I forgot to mention it's Quicktime H.264 a new codec from Qtime. Here's a link, you can download it for free. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/preview/ Kalani Prince July 15th, 2005, 10:18 PM Encoded with H.264 to play you will need http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/mac.html Paul Matwiy July 16th, 2005, 12:15 PM QuickTime 7 Pro is now available to Windows users, so you can encode H.264 both with QuickTime or Windows Media 7 now. Cal Johnson July 18th, 2005, 10:00 PM Wow! The footage is awesome, nice job on the editing too... makes me want to go to Hawaii and start shooting... also makes me glad I just bought an XL2. A couple of crits would be that some of the colour saturation in just a few shots looked a bit much. Also, you might want to shorten your opening title just a bit, it kinda hangs... I use feature movies as a good gauge for how long a title should be on screen, and usually its no more than 3 seconds. I'd make your logo fade up and then the "presents" fade in below it, then fade to your title, just to speed things up a bit. Beautiful shots though, loved the aerial stuff too.. good work!

A few questions on that if you don't mind? -Did you use any filters on your XL2? -Do you use a matte box? -What settings did you use on your XL2? (the setting you find when setting a preset up with things like gamma, cine, RGB's, etc.) -What mode did you shoot in? (A, Tv, Av, M) -Did you do any post-production altering to get such vibrant colors? Thanks. By the way I showed a friend of mine who's going to Hawaii in August and I think he's going to show everyone he knows! Kalani Prince July 24th, 2005, 05:05 AM Kalani, Nice work.

By the way I showed a friend of mine who's going to Hawaii in August and I think he's going to show everyone he knows! Hey Derek, thanks for the kind words. Yes I used a PETROFF matte box with a 4x4 POLARIZER, tons of sun and glare out here. Settings were pretty stock, I think I had the cine settings on and -5 mas ped. I always shoot manual, and use a manual lens as well. Yes I did a bit of SELECTIVE CC, I forget what plugin it is but it's really cool, you can simply sample any color you want to correct. Hope this helps. Aloha! |
