Re: [Avid-L2] Ideas for a composition

Despite the thread here, I kind of agree about the original "you bought the wrong tool" comment being mean-spirited and off-base.

In reality, he didn't buy the wrong tool - which would make him a fool - instead, he bought the RIGHT tool for MOST of his work (which was his point) but that he can't really force the Avid to do THIS particular task. The right tool for the right job. But as we all know, we all need a LOT of tools, so Media Composer was the right choice as PART of the toolkit. Even Avid recognizes that we're all cutting and compositing and using MANY tools to get the job done.

I'm sorry but how can be so sure to afirm that I pay a lot of money for the wrong tool, tell me in other words that i`m pretty much stupid to waste money.?
Do you know what I do for living? do you have any idea?....

The fact that I want to do some composition with a tool doesnt mean I buy this tool just for that.

please ask before you say things like you have all the knowledge and answers. have a little humility.

I know that this isn't what you want to hear, but if this is the kind of stuff that you're going for then

you absolutely paid a lot of money for the wrong tool.
If you don't have any more money, then take a look at blender:

I guarantee you that it would look better than anything you could make in symphony... and it's free.

Hey thanks. I know there are a lot of other software to do this. But the thing is that I pay for my mc with symphony and i dont have 2000 dollars to buy another. For that i want to do this composition or an approach in mc. Thats the help i need. Without ironies or sarcans.
Thanks.

You guys could replicate this really easily on Smoke on Mac. You would just generate a bump map inside smac and then apply it to a flat plate and subdivide. Then project the texture you want onto the animated geometry. And if you didn't wanna go that approach you could always bring in a default box geometry and create some instances, then texture the cube, light it, export it. Oh yeah, I forgot to add that smac is a pretty decent NLE,

Here is a simple tutorial on the basics of bump mapping in smoke.

Here's a link to the pic:

Jeff used EyeOn Fusion (http://www.eyeonline.com/Fusion.html).

It's not in Media Composer by default.
It's a 3rd party application, currently on special for ~$1250
(though there's no info on pricing on their web site that I could easily find).

They might want to make that type of info easily accessible.

Hi Jeff,
Your image did not come through on my end.
Can you email it to me directly?
I'm curious to see what you whipped-up;

and because you mentioned a 3D node, what were your tools/effects/apps?

I hack together in about 5 minutes a version using the image from Media
Composer and displacing into 3d space.
Then I used a replicate 3d node to apply a cube to the shape of the hand.
Not perfect but the overall effect is beginning to take shape.
color can be applied as well

End of the day: use the best tool for the job.

If you want to try and do this in MC, then play with AvidFx and Marquee.

Good luck.

Yes it could be done in 3dmax or cinema4d, the goal is do this in media
composer.

Yeah, a NLE is probably the wrong tool for this.

Hi. I would like to know if someone have an idea to do something like
this in avid.

I want to emulate something like this all inside media composer. I have
a media composer 7 with symphony option. (bcc8 too)
