Watch our Festival Award Winning Short Shot on the Canon HV20
Well friends, we promised to catalog the journey of our adventures with the now venerable beauty that was the Canon HV20, the little HD camcorder that arguably started a revolution.
Now we would like to share with you some of the fruit of our labors as we make available to you the full version of our first official short film “A Killer App” shot exclusively with one HV20 and one Canon HV20 Wide Angle lens.
The film, a parable about the effects of social media on our relationships, (and a zombie short to others), went on to screen at festivals around the world and even win some awards.
You can watch “A Killer App” now at the movie’s official site.
VIDEO: How To Import A Sony Vegas Project Into After Effects For Mastering
There are endless conversations about best practices and workflow for maintain the very highest quality picture in post production and many of them have to do with never recompressing your original footage once you get going. One of the FASTEST and BEST ways to do this is to work in Sony Vegas for editing and then bring it into After Effects for everything else that includes dissolves, fades, color correction, sharpening, deartifacting and finally output of a digital master.
But how can you get your awesome edit out of Vegas without rendering something and thus losing a generation of quality by having to apply some sort of compression?
This video may help answer that question, at least as far as a way to get your Vegas-edited clips into After Effects quite painlessly. Interestingly enough, the solution comes from using a rather antique file export format – the Avid AAF EDL file exchange format. Watch the video, and then post your comments here.
If you know a better way, I would love to hear it!
