ASC #34: Film Flash

Avid Screencast ·

2010/06/24

I was asked if it was possible to get the Glow Effect without Boris Continuum Complete. Had I been a smart-ass, I would have replied: "Sure, buy Sapphire!" But I'm trying not to be, so I came up with something that looks kinda similar, and I called it Film Flash, because "Glow Part 2" seemed lame. In this tutorial, I'll use a Blur and the Color Effect to create that Film Flash. SHOW NOTES Check out the blog enry for this week's episode: http://avidscreencast.com/asc34 Follow me on

ASC #32: Blurring into / out of a Title

Avid Screencast ·

2010/06/10

In this episode, we'll transition into a title by starting with a blur and then slowly letting it focus. To do this we'll have to look into how titles actually work, redoing it as a simple Matte Key and then manipulating Key and Fill to achieve out goal. You see, it's fun for the whole family! And if you were hoping for Media Composer 5 content: As soon as I get my hands on the new version, there'll be some. Might take a bit, though, sorry. SHOW NOTES Avid's Marquee video

2010/06/03

This week's episode features a request from Youtube user Instantslugger, who wanted to know how to do a curtain transition within Media Composer. Turns out it's not that hard. We'll do it using Avid's Paint effect and a Matte Key, plus I'll show you how to make the transition reusable and real-time.

Everybody knows the Timewarp only applies to video. But what if you want to change the speed of your audio as well? In this episode, we'll do just that with the help of a couple of different AudioSuite plugins that come with Media Composer.

No ASC this week: Console Commands

Avid Screencast ·

2010/05/20

No show this week, so I thought I'd give you some food for thought. Paul Sampson created a great document listing a bunch of useful Avid Console commands. (You find the console under Tools. But if you didn't know about it before reading this, maybe you don't want to mess with it.) So I added the document to the feed and hope Paul doesn't go DMCA on me.

2010/04/22

One of the most common tasks when doing color correction is matching two shots. So this week and next, we'll do exactly that. As always, I like working with the curves in Avid, but you should be able to use the skills learned in this tutorial when using the Color Wheels as well. Sorry for splitting this tutorial into two episodes, but I try to keep the length of the podcast around ten minutes -- this one would have been too long.

In this episode, we'll create a secondary color correction in Avid Media Composer. Secondary color correction is applying one correction to the image as a whole, but a different correction to a specific portion of the image. This can be necessary in a lot of situations, mostly when you need a different treatment of skin tones compared to the rest of your image.
