#Rotoscoping
Bill, sorry Diaquest DOES NOT have the FLDCOPY.COM file! Though it is
mention in my new manual, the file is NOT in the software I just purchased.
A follow up call to Diaquest confirmed this. They are addressing that issue
now. BTW, I did not have any prolbem w/o the @echo off. In fact with my QFX
Batch files I ECHO what is happening as it is happening. Just to provide
additional documentation.
The Chroma Key capture sounds good. BTW I had great sucess in rotoscoping,
with both OPACITY mapping and using the Video Post module. (Queue Alpha
channel) I wrote another batch file to make OPACITY maps using Ron Scott's
Hi Rez QFX. The simple test I performed; was video taping my hand, against
a black backgrd (crushed velvet). I then mapped and applied the rotoscoping
to a 3DS flat plane created in the shaper and then imported into the
editor. The results were; fingers moving, and my entire hand rotating, (by
rotating the 3DS plane\Keyframer) over a cloud backgrd. It looks great. So
if you have HI RES QFX, and if you don't you should, you can get great
results just with the object on a black backgrd.
If you would like additional information on this I can upload more,
including additional batch files.
Regards
Steve
