        There is a remove flicker function in Primiere?! 8O

        I have been using quicktime pro and fotomagico for my compositing and it is getting to be time to drop the $800 (ouch) for Premiere. And this remove flicker really works? wow.

        Thanks Paul!

        Cheers, Chuck

          wow, I had no idea animation from sketchup could be so intense!!!!!!!! I never even finished reading it. I had a client who wants to show a casket being put into a mosoleum animated.
          thanks anyway for your efffort.

                  Excellent tutorial , very similar to how are produce animations except for a twist , I don't use Premiere or After Effects but instead a piece of Free software (GNU GPL) called Mencoder . Using a commandline switch like
                  "d:\programs\mencoder\mencoder.exe" mf://*.jpg -mf fps=12:type=jpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=12000 -oac copy -o output.avi -ffourcc XVID

                  I have compressed about 2500 1200x900 frames to Xvid format in under five minutes . Notice the vbitrate=12000 , Jacking it up really improved the picture quality . You can get Mencoder here .

                        Hi Marc, Hi Paul,

                        I hope you have received Coen's board PM about Kelly's server and the transfer of the content into the current SCF server. I hope everything will be available again soon.

                              True it is a great tut - be patient, please; the srever change is just being done (as you can read in your PM).

                                OK, here's an updated Tut with the first part of the Premiere stuff in it.

                                kannonbal:
                                I've always used TIFF's and for some reason never really got used to using PNG's.
                                I actually had to look and see if Premiere actually imported PNG's and Low and behold it does!! Whether it will import them as 'Numbered Stills' (See the revised tut) is another matter.

                                As for the "dreaded moire" well that's the next bit I've got to do in the tut!
                                Here's it quickly:
                                Select the sequence
                                From the menu select CLIP/VIDEO OPTIONS/FIELD OPTIONS
                                Select 'Flicker Removal'
                                Repeat for every Sequence (Very tedious)
                                Drag into the time line and export.

                                EDIT:
                                Final tutorial linked here (from later post below)

                                  Opps sorry about the quality of the images in the PDF, I squidged them a bit too much.

                                    Here's the first finished version:
                                    Tutorial
                                    Its a 1.2mb PDF

                                    I'm going to add more stuff in regard to adding titles, effects, editing etc. but not just yet.

                                    Please be critical and point out anything that's not clear, misspelt etc.

                                          I'm just getting into animation so this was extremely helpful. I've been looking for a program to use for exactly this sort of thing so I'll check out the Adobe program you mention. If that flicker thing works at all it'll be well worth the money!

                                          I can't wait for your following tutorials!
