PAR vs Options
Don- I just completed a job for a local car dealer using Par/Elastic Reality.
The one dissappointment I have with the Par is the Double compression problem
when you grab an image from tape, export it out, use E/R to warp, and import
back to the par. This particular spot the spokesman was standing next to a
car. As he mentioned different cars, the cars would morph to the next model he
was talking about. We did a split screen wipe to use the live footage of the
spokesman and the morphing was on the other half. Getting the color values to
match up was a real chore. Thanks to some voodoo from the video editor, he got
it looking reasonable, but it was still dissappointing. As a note, I always
thought that the problem was recompression when importing back to the Par, but
it seems to shift when Exporting the .TGA from the par, before it's ever
brought back in. Have you noticed that? -Mark
