No problemo – thats what I'm here for 🙂 Chris Edgin ERI Tech
You insert your first sequence, in the a-roll and continue inserting the other sequences into that roll as well. After all images are inserted into the a-roll, accept, and then select the pass-thru TJ project and select FLC as your saver. Nothing special to do at all and for the…
That would be a very nice feature add :-). We will defintely consider it. Chris Edgin ERI Tech (Yes, its a boring title 😉
What resolution did you out put the.avi as? If you dod something other than 320×240 or 160×120, chances are it will be unplayable – this is a cross between the compression codecs and media player problem that causes odd sized .avis to be unplayable. Chris Edgin ERI tech.
That would bee cool. We like to see it. Chris E. ERI
Could you please e-mail your ER project file to 74774,1542 and will will examine it to see what is causing the 'jaggies' you described. Chances are its something simple with how your shapes are drawn and/or edge positioning. Chris Edgin ERI tech.
Actually, that is a real good idea. Attention Win ER users!! What are you using ER for? We would like to know. Please post here or e-mail us at 74774,1542 – we want to hear from you! Chris Edgin ERI tech.
I will be posting a comparison of our mac, Windows and SGI versions of ER in our vendor library. This will show the comprehensive differences between the versions. Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
While not commenting on the quality of the OS 😉 I can say that almost all the codecs will not work with image resolutions that are not multiples of VGA (160×120, 320×240) and none of them seem to work at all with res. like 640×480 but I have a feeling…
We have a had a couple of requests for field rendering but we have not released a version that does that yet but it might be a possiblity for future versions. I will let everyone know if something becomes of this. Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
Thats a good one. No announcements have been made here regarding a native OS/2 version of ER but that does not necessarily mean that our planners aren't thinking about it. If I hear something about i, I will let you know. Chris Edgin Technically Speaking
Actually we ship version 1.1a of Video for Windows but I think the latest is 1.1d. Chris edgin ERI tech.
Brendan, could I get your shipping address so we can get this tape out to you (finally 😉 Chris Edgin ERI tech.
Sounds good to me. You wont be dissapointed 🙂 Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
It is poccible that the demo archive or its contents got messed up. Keep in mid that those files are not designed to be install off of hard disk. If you still have problems, you might want to give our sales dept. at (608)273-9240 to get our Demo CD or…

ER DOES support multiple processors. NT RISC versions MRSP is $795 and upgrades are available for owners of the Windows Intel…
#mac video tape
Message #3730
Personally, I answer every message that comes through here and e-mail for tech support to this forum and our 74774,1542 account. To the best of my knowledge, I have not let any messages slip. What was Jason supposed to get you? Let me know and I will set it up…
Glad you like it 🙂 Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
How much conventional (DOS) memory do you have available before & after starting Windows. Chris Edgin ERI Tech.

Just call our sales dept at (608)273-9240 and they would be happy to sell you some manuals. Chris Edgin ERI tech.
The Intel NT version is the same as the Windows 3.1 (same price). It is a Win32s app as well as being NT native. Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
Yes it is. We made a small modification to the FLIC support. Chris Edgin ERI tech.
TransJammer for Macintosh is PowerPC native and will also run on 68k Macs w/ FPU (it is a Fat Binary file) and it also includes a plug-in for Premeire so it can use the 100 or so effects that come w/ Mac TransJammer Chris Edgin ERI tech.
The Intel version lists for $495 and the MIPS/DEC/PowerPC version lists for $795. Chris edgin ERI tech.
What is the output resolution of your movie and what VFW compressor did you use? I mention this because most VFV Compression codecs will ony work w/ size divisible by 20 (like 320×240, 160×120, etc) most compressors will not work with sizes like 640×480 or 800×600 (basically too big) Chris…
ER is a native NT app and is most definelt multi-threaded so it will run happily on multi-processor machines (and use them too!) The advanced features of SGI ER will trickle down as WinER matures. There are just too many capture/output boards to recommend just one. You might take a…
No, nut they will be included when the Stand-alone TransJammer for Windows is made. (transJammer for Mac is an independet product from Elastic Reality (it is almost like Premier). Chris Edgin ERI tech.
I use Cirrus Logic video drivers w/o problem. Chris edgin ERI tech.
>1. Does ER directly support the PAR? (without RazorPro) ER cannot load from the PAR but it is possible to save to the PAR. ER will complain that the PAR drive does not really exist but after the error is cancelled, it will work fine. >2. How much faster does…
I hear you. Youll get you money's worth 🙂 Chris Edgin ERI tech.
It actually seems to be a tie between the compressors and media player. We have not found the CPU to make a difference (and I have a 486 DX33 myself). Chris Edgin ERI
Fear not ardent Windows supporters, we plan to the same for the Windows version and even if you get the mac version, you can use the effects in the Windows version (or vice-versa). Chris edgin ERI tech
The best way to achieve you morph goal is to treat each segment (3->4,4->5, etc) as individual morphs then you can like the resulting frames together with TransJammer using the PassThru project and have the sequence output as FLC. Chris Edgin ERI tech.
The HIIPUP.ZIP file in our vendor library does in fact contain the new VFW 32-bit support as well as load/save capability for FLIC animations. Chris Edgin "The force is with us!"
Basically, a 'plug-in' is a small program for other applications like Permeire that adds certain features. In our case a plug in for Razor or Premeire would allow access to ERI apps like TransJammer or ER itself. The Razor plugin snafu you might have heard is due to a misunderstanding…
You are right, we did pull the modem out of a closet 🙂 and yes, there are plans to up to a 14.4 modem in the future. Chris Edgin ERI
The video is not availble for the Windows version at this time 🙁 but we are examining the possibilty of doing one. Chris E. ERI
The FLIC loader is simply named flic.exe and should reside in the ereality\hiip\loaders dir. I examined the archive an the loader is there. Chris Edgin ERI tech.
Elastic Reality is available for Windows & Windows NT, The price for the Intel-version is $495 (MSRP). Elastic Reality is also available through EggHead Software. Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
ER is not a 3D animation program so I can really not give you a comparison (apples & oranges type of thing). ERs animations is strictly 2D. Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
That is something we have on our agenda but we nothig to show you in that respect yet. Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
The Razor plug in is not yet a product but we expect to making an announcment regarding that at the end of the month. Chris edgin ERI
#Premiere TJ Plug-in
Message #3003
Attention Macintosh users: We now have a plug-in available available for Adobe Premiere that allows the use of current and future TransJammer effects. We will also have a full, standalone version of TransJammer for the Mac later this month. A pre-release version of the plug-in is currently available and includes…
This only happens with the presidents.er project or does this happen with all of the tutorial projects? Chris Edgin Elastic Armstrong
Glad things worked out for you. Chris E. ERI Rescue Squad
You are saying that the shapes will not dissappear even if you change the A/AB/B buttons at the top of the edit window? Chris Edgin ERI Tech.
Have you changed anything recently with your setup of Windows? (Reinstalled, etc.). That particular DLL gets installed in the Win32s(or System32) directory. If you reinstalled Windows, this file might have gotten wiped out. Chris Edgin ERI tech.
#Amiga(s) & stuff 4-sale
Message #97751
12/27/94 Elastic Reality is selling some (not all) of its Amiga computers and equipment. Attached are the prices we are asking for this equipment. There are many computers, systems, monitors and peripherals for sale (some of which are hard to get nowadays). This equipment only represents a small fraction of…
The method you use to make the morph is really not that much different than morphing two still together. Its just a matter of adjusting your shapes every so often to make the match the motion occuring in your footage (this is what is known as 'tweening) and this makes…
