Quick UVW Mapping
by Thomas MaCoy 3 months ago
After years in and out of 3DSMax I decided today to load up Blender. So far it's been great; I've got the basic feel of modeling, animating, and now I'm poking through its texture materials interface;
Javascript Access to Flash in Firefox/Chrome?

Okay, I'm sure this issue has been discussed before, but several hours of googling have gotten me no where. I'm trying to use Javascript to call an AS3 function in an embedded SWF file. I've attached

AS3: Activate and Deactivate?
by Thomas MaCoy 1 year ago
Looking to have Flash mute its volume when the user clicks to a different tab or off the page. Some time on Google turns up Event.ACTIVATE and Event.DEACTIVATE; some more time on Google seems to imply

Whoops. Looks like it got read as code in my message. I'm referring to the wmode tag, in my case:
Changing a Variable Over Time
by Thomas MaCoy 1 year ago
This is one of those things that I assume is either really easy or really hard to do. I have a variable that AS3 assigns some different values to at a couple points in a project (in this case to adjus
Re: Changing a Variable Over Time

Wow; that was surprisingly easy to work with, given my limited experience with Flash to date. Thanks! -Tom
Using Sine/Cosine in Parameter Wiring
by Thomas MaCoy 1 year ago
Can't seem to find any straight forward references so I'll give a shot here: Basically, is there a trick to using trig functions in a parameter wiring expression I'm setting up a model with various mo

Pop Up Window with AS3
by Thomas MaCoy 1 year ago
I haven't found any recent references to this, and so far every tutorial I've found online has not worked, so hopefully this isn't a question that's been repeated a dozen times already. (I'd put my Fl
Re: Pop Up Window with AS3
by Thomas MaCoy 1 year ago
That makes more sense to me. I've finally got a working proof of concept, so I think I'm set. Thanks very much for your help.
Media Encoder 9 Audio Input
by Thomas MaCoy 4 years ago
Broadly: has anyone had any luck with Audio Sources besides the Default Sound card going into Windows Media Encoder 9 We use WME9 for a significant amount of web streaming for a client. Typically we
Re: Media Encoder 9 Audio Input
by Thomas MaCoy 4 years ago
I was thinking that too actually; results seem mixed. The TV Tuner audio devices don't show up in Sound Audio devices, though they show no conflicts or issues in device manager. Doesn't really make s

It seems like this type of question has probably come up before, but searching the forums didn't bring up any hits, so if it has been done, please accept my apologies and point me in the right direct
How to do an expanding jack?
by Thomas MaCoy 4 years ago
Not sure where to begin, so I'll start with the specific: is there any way to link group join bones from two separate chains so they move together And since that question seems counter-intuitive to t
Re: How to do an expanding jack?
by Thomas MaCoy 4 years ago
Course not long after posting I come up with a workable way to animate it regularly via constraints and wire parameters, but if anyone knows a good way to do it with bones I'm all ears, as that feels
Flash versus WMV
by Thomas MaCoy 4 years ago
Hey all, I've been doing video recording webposting for a client in WMV for some years, and they're now making, or hoping to make, a switch to Flash. Typically the video content is all talking heads a
Re: Flash versus WMV
by Thomas MaCoy 4 years ago
That's interesting; it seems like the quality level I'm going for, at least with WMV, works out to just under 2 Mb minute, and that's at 320x240. I tired a Flash of the test file I'm using at 400 kbs
Garbage Matte Feather in PPro2?

Is there any hidden option or way to feather the edges of a Garbage Matte Basically I'm trying to apply some color correction to one area of an image, and the secondary color correct option really won
Re: Garbage Matte Feather in PPro2?
by Steven L. Gotz 6 years ago
I forgot to mention that you blur the heck out of the garbage matter clip. And, it might work better if you just export it and use it as a matte to avoid a lot of rendering.Steven http: www.stevengotz
DSR-30 and 24P
by Thomas MaCoy 6 years ago
Can anyone confirm if Sony's older DSR-30 deck plays back 24P 24PA footage correctly (Specifically shot with an XL2 camera.) I know the DSR-11 will, but so far they're harder to find on the cheap. Tha
PremierePro2 Limits Multicam edits per project?
by Thomas MaCoy 6 years ago
I have a series of short video segments to cut together, and since they were all shot 3 camera (miniDV) I decided to try PPro2's multicam feature. The first segment worked perfectly. When I synched up
Re: PremierePro2 Limits Multicam edits per project?
by Thomas MaCoy 6 years ago
That was one thing I checked actually- I know there's a setting when you can pick if the audio gets cut along with the video, or if it uses only track 1 to output. (The Audio Follows Video option, und
Anyone worked with a JVC SR-VS30U Deck?
by Thomas MaCoy 6 years ago
I'm looking for a 1000$ Mini DV deck of sorts (as an alternative to a 300$ miniDV camcorder) and JVC seems to offer a couple decent models. My biggest concern is tape compatibility; I shoot with an XL
Using User Bits
by Thomas MaCoy 7 years ago
The subject pretty much says it all: how exactly do you go about using or displaying the User Bits recorded in MiniDV footage in PPro Or is it even possible I ask because I've got a project coming up
Re: Using User Bits
by Thomas MaCoy 6 years ago
As far as I can tell, PPro2 does actually maintain the timecode on the original tape; the thing is, when you drag it into the main timeline, the timecode of that timeline takes priority. However, if
Dual Monitor Conflict with Avid

Started looking into Avid and there's a problem. I have a dual monitor setup (running off a nivida 7800GT) which Avid apprently dislikes; the timeline and composer windows tend to jump around randomly
Re: Dual Monitor Conflict with Avid
by Thomas MaCoy 7 years ago
Avid's readme discusses drivers for nvidia workstation level Quardo cards, but not the desktop level cards; for those, I think it's basically luck. I think I did figure out the issue though, after dig
Color corrector not updating the waveform monitor?

Probably a small setting I'm missing somewhere, but I'm not sure what to look under. Basically, if I'm color correcting a clip in PPro2 (using the three way color correct), how do I get the waveform m
