Thanks Tom. Looks like I may have to find some money in the Budget for DaVice Resolve Studio in the coming months. I assume you are shooting the footage on a Gimbal? Over the last few months I have increased my video footage from the drone, mobile and sometimes camera. My PC is overspecked to run video with 64GB Ram, i& processor and Nvidia RTX3060Ti video card but Topaz takes light years to run. I use VN Editor on Android that is quite good and edit on a 9 inch tablet which is not the best but VN works well with lots of easy user options and a good GUI. Cheers Mark

Intrresting, I cannnot get Topaz Video AI to run fast enough on my machine even though it exceeds the minimum specs. I have used speed ramping in Poer Director as well as numerous Android based video editors and they work quite well although I have not done the comparison in details that you have above. I think I need to find time to learn more about the free version of DaVinci Resolve. Thanks for the info. Mark

Hi Kieron They do spill onto the background and have to be post edited. This one is individually edited while the building is batch edited. On saying that the background is black and darker than the skin so a contrast adjustment can fix this sometimes depending on the brightness of the image projected. I would really like to get a better projector - possibly 4K but these are very expensive at present.. Another workshop planned for next month. Regards Mark

Here is a selection of images from a recent studio shoot.

I will have to wait 6 months to try it out or retro fit some old images. Thanks for sharing Alex.

Yes it is a digitally prjected image on to a naked female figure. The bleed onto the background is difficult to manage especially in a batch process. The first one I ran out of memory on the card (shot in continuous). May try again in the future. Thanks for looking and commenting.

A different point of view on the urban sprawl. Updated the images from the original in this version. Mark

The intricate patterns and self-similarity found in fractals accentuates the curves and contours of the human form, creating a dynamic interplay between mathematics and biology. The combination of organic movement and geometric precision evokes a sense of harmony and beauty, blurring the boundaries between art, science, and the human emotions. This is NOT a perfect show by any means. It was an idea to create an AV at the last minute. I also have some video but wanted a more punchy effect with snappy single images. The edit process of over 300 images images meant this became a time and benefit process. Learning - next time take more time to set the camera up squarely for batch processing of images. Here are the results.

Perhaps "issue" or "difficulty" or "obstacle" may have been better - problem, was just a word and a solution offerred based on my experience.

Mr Google states when asked about the error message: This means that codecs used by the video file for compression are not supported in the video player used by your device. In this case, you need to use a codec that can be played by your media player or device. How do I fix audio format not supported on my TV? Adjust the audio format on your TV To resolve this issue, you'll need to adjust the audio format within the TV's Sound or Audio menu. Typically, these settings are located under Digital Audio Format or Audio Output. The format or output must be set to one of our supported home theater audio formats. Maybe this helps? Mark

Hi Gary The problem will be your monitor or video card. It is probably at your maximum on 1920 x 1080 and cannot display 4K (3840 x 2160). I know my monitors cannot and I have a high quality video cards (hundreds not thousands in cost) lots of RAM, diskspace etc. I use 4 monitors so the monitors are the weakest point. The bottle neck for all technology is the weakest point and everything is slowed to the weakest size/quality. Cheers Mark

Yes thank you Dave. Have downloaded now just got to look at it - LOL. Do you have a style that gives you more hours in the day?

Round 7 of the 2023 V8 Superboat at Round Mountain Raceway at Cabarita just up the road (about an hour away). Big day with races taking under 1 minite most times. Over 50 individual races plus warm up and once they start there is not much time between races. This is the final race of the day and I managed to capture this mishap in front of me. Made a selection of images into an AV. Touch and go for a while for the crew so I stopped photography and resumed once it was clear. Cheers Mark

Not an expert by any means but......... So in the project mode when you play it there is sound? Try saving another version and press the play button at the end of the creation and see if there is sound? Cheers Mark

Thank you Rosemary. It was a great play and unable to video due to copyright but they do allow our camera club to take images for the actors.

My local thetre company production of this famous English TV program. Slideshow of a selection of my images from the play.

Great show, thanks for sharing.

Here is a slideshow made from "On The Job" shots from a group of photographers who meet weekly to wander around our local area. You will notice the influence of AI in some of the imagery.

Grabbed some clips from the SORA website today after it was launched. Made this short AV using the site videos, collated by a human and edited with PTE AV Studio.

Yes I do that also but more of a movie speed ramp (slow down) rather than a timelapse albeit that is what the phones use as a name. My phone has two modes but a different effect. This is over 400 camera still images made into a movie as such and taken over a 40 minute period. Thanks for commenting.

A series of around 425 images edited and combined in PTE with short duration time and merge to create this AV. Shot 2 days ago in Ballina Australia.

While digital audio editing is easier than the analogue process, I would be doing the way you suggested. Working with smaller audio files makes the complete edit process easier IMHO.

PC or Mac? Try this solution

Will be interted to see what you come up with. Seems like you have a handle on it already re the insv and insp files. I use the Theta Z1 for work and 360degree single images but the video output is not good. My understanding is the the OneX3 is great for video but unsure if you have the interactive option in the MP4. I stayed away from the Insta range as they have propietary software. Cheers Mark

Thank you, they are lovely little birds. Cheers Mark
