Croaker: I DL'ed ur movie in a couple minutes Steve Lareau: Next? Meta AuntiAlias: oops. cyber_mike has left.. Steve Lareau: hehe! Meta AuntiAlias: Morbius, you're Next!! Steve Lareau: He just had to go back to work.... Morbius: I know, but gotta go! Purusha: ? Steve Lareau: Haha!!!!!!!! Croaker: add me into the line, if u will Meta AuntiAlias: SunDogDeb... Steve Lareau: they're dropping like flies! Meta AuntiAlias: it's you! CrypticGrafix: hehehe Meta AuntiAlias: People waiting in line to ask their questions (aka queue): CrypticGraphix, Steve4001, M'Kell, Purusha, Croaker ... if you have a question, please type "?" Steve Lareau: time to stretch and do some aerobic chair spins- wheeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CrypticGrafix: hahaha Meta AuntiAlias: :D Steve Lareau: Ahh, much better! SunDogDeb has left the building. Meta AuntiAlias: SunDogDeb? youu here? Steve Lareau: LOL! Meta AuntiAlias: not anymore... CrypticGrafix: geez Steve Lareau: Hahaaha!!! Meta AuntiAlias: Cryptic, you're on! Gigabyte: lol Steve Lareau: Is it my breath? CrypticGrafix: did you add music in bryce? or did you use another program? Steve Lareau: The music was added inside of Adobe Premiere. CrypticGrafix: oh okay...i need to get that then :) Steve Lareau: It took some doing to get some of the video to synch with the music, but I finally got it pretty close. Gigabyte: there goes another one Steve Lareau: Wheee!!!!!!!! CrypticGrafix: id ask better ?'s but i havent seen the movie yet ;) Meta AuntiAlias: Steve4001, you're ON! :D Steve4001: when you render to individual frames, can bryce compile thoose frames later to animation? or do you use some other software? premiere? CrypticGrafix: hehehe Steve Lareau: I think there's some freeware or shareware programs that will allow you to ad audio, but you can't edit it much.... CrypticGrafix: hmmm Steve Lareau: You can compile the frames in Premiere, sure, although there are programs that will do it as well. Steve4001: ive used gifbuilder Steve Lareau: Oh- STAY AWAY from a program for the PC called BMP2AVI- it screws up the color palette! Steve4001: but B4 won do it? wont Steve Lareau: No- it can only create whatever format, won;t compile them. Meta AuntiAlias: QuickTime Pro is nice for compiling frames into an animation, too! Steve Lareau: Maybe Bryce 8? Steve4001: thank you Steve Lareau: Yeah, I've got to get that myself one of these days..... Meta AuntiAlias: welcome back, SunDog Deb; I'll put you back at the beginning of the queue so we can take your question.. hang on a bit. SunDogDeb: ? (sorry, I crashed) Steve Lareau: hat also has Sorenson codec too, right? Meta AuntiAlias: for QT3 and QT4, yes... Steve Lareau: Deb- I do that all the time too! Steve4001: moviestar also works Steve Lareau: That's why I have a crash helmet on when I'm sitting here! Meta AuntiAlias: There's also Media Player Pro that does other compression tasks... and you can also get a higher-end Sorenson compression codec but, at its most basic, QT does allow you to do sorenson in fact... Steve Lareau: Codecs- that's another big can of worms... anyone want to go fishing? =D Croaker: Use MPEG Meta AuntiAlias: I may upload a B4 animation test with Sorenson codec for you all to see Steve Lareau: Cool..... Meta AuntiAlias: for info on codecs Steve Lareau: You're fast with those links! Meta AuntiAlias: (I learned some about them when I was writing a book on QuickTIme VR) Steve Lareau: I was just going to look for that myself! You scare me sometimes...... Meta AuntiAlias: er... are we done with this, ready for the next question? Steve Lareau: next! Meta AuntiAlias: SunDogDeb.. go for it! :D SunDogDeb: What did you compile your frames and music with? What was your animation used for? Steve Lareau: It was all compiled in Adobe Premiere- the audio too. SunDogDeb: Thanks -- I'll look into a crash helmet Steve Lareau: The animations was for the fun of doing it, the video will also be seen on CD's handed out by Metacreations at upcoming trade shows, training seminars, etc, so if you're somewhere and you see that Metacreations is showing off their latest products, wande SunDogDeb: :) Steve Lareau: Get a sturdy helmet-it's better, trust me. SunDogDeb: LOL Steve Lareau: Oop-s wander over and see if they have a demo CD. SunDogDeb: Thanks Steve Lareau: sure... render safely! Meta AuntiAlias: done? Steve Lareau: Wow- jutst had a REAL close lightning hit- my phones rang! Done
