@Michael Hoskins: Hi… No, it’s not only you. I do hear it too only on the left channel, which is a shame because I use a headset and at my left ear I do hear a lot less than my right ear. Double shame there in my case. BUT, i’m glad I have speakers on my PC.

Is it just me, or is the audio only coming out of the left channel?

hi nick,

whenever i use a light in after effects against a solid (off white) colour – i get lots of circular banding around falloff of the image – are you familiar with this problem? do you know how to fix it?

thanks man – i really appreciate what you’re doing here…

I gotta disagree that Content-aware scaling is a gimmick. It can be a great help but it’s not for every image. I can see where you’re coming from though—I’m not sure how it would benefit photographers or motionographers much, but those of us who also do print work and you need to fit things to a certain size, it can really come in handy.

Like many of the newer tools in Photoshop, it simply saves time. What did we do before the healing brush? You had to rubber stamp, clone multiple areas, adjust opacities, etc. Of course you can mask, stamp, and patch but in my experience when CAW works, it works pretty well. (For the best results, use the protect feature.)

I would love a breakdown on aspect ratios and resolutions in Cinema 4d.

What is enough and how much aspect ratio would you need for a 30 inch tv or 50 inch? 1080p HD or a regular tube?

I usually render animations for the HD 1080p but i’m not sure what size is enough for say a 40 or 50 inch screen.

Somewhere along the line, someone may decide to watch your clip on a TV and I think it’s only fair to make sure your clip has enough resolution for those situations.

On the other hand, I feel that trying to render large only increases the render time and i’d like to save time if I can…

Please put up a post regarding render resolutions and aspect ratios!

Thanks!
Bobby

Only if you use the move tool from the canvas, not directly from the layers pallette, which was my preferred way of doing things because I was there with my mouse anyway when selecting layers.

I want you to do a tutorial on a model right out of a photoshoot, what kind of touch ups you would personally do.

In the same vain as this video, maybe a tutorial between the changes of previous version of After Effects to the recent update 9.02

I don’t know if you’ve worked with RED footage yet, however, if you have, any stories on your work flow would be nice as always.

Great job as always, keep it up Nick

also I’m wondering about the compositing powers of Cinema 4D and would it would be awesome to have a tutorial on that.
