Re: [Frameworks] FCP 7 editing

[Jason Halprin]

After Effects and other animation programs can all do single frame
manipulation. It depends on exactly what you're looking for...can you
describe the functions and effects you're trying to replicate digitally?

Re: [Frameworks] FCP 7 editing

[drawclose.com]

Regular video editing programs do you not see the video data file as "frame 
frame frame". Digital editing is providing the editing program with a list of 
changes to make to the video codec -a bundle of rules driving playback. When 
you choose to export the video file, the changes are made.


So if you are using Final Cut Pro, what you want to do is export an image 
sequence using compressor, and then to manually edit each frame using a still 
image editor. Then you can use a program like QuickTime 7 pro to assemble a 
video file. You can import a sequential series of stills stored in a single 
folder. 

There's a number of other animation programs that will work in this way I just 
can't think of them off the top of my head.

Alternately, you can use programs like Adobe aftereffects and other "affects 
the base" programs like apples motion to make a frame by frame effects in real 
time. However, I have found this approach to be counterintuitive -- these 
programs operate based on your understanding of key framing, and your trust of 
the programs ability to create tweens that you like. They are build to create 
narrative movie products, so it can be hard to hack them to get them to be more 
closely related to an image image image results.

You can message me off list if you'd like; I went from frame by frame 
manipulation in 16mm hand developed scratch work and using an optical printer 
when I was in grad school to doing everything digitally. So I'm a good resource 
for you.

Re: [Frameworks] Buying a VCR in 2016

[Dave Tetzlaff]

Check thrift stores that let you return electronics (usually just for store 
credit) if it doesn't work: Salvation Army and Goodwill usually do. Thrift 
stores are where all VHS decks go to die – and the stores just want to move 
them, so they price the good ones the same as the crappy ones. For digitizing, 
I think you'd want one with:
• s-video output
• separate heads for SP and EP
• some kind of built-in frame-store buffer on the video out

The later JVC S-VHS models fit the bill. They weren't super-reliable, but now 
you're basically dealing with a disposable item that should cost less than a 
pizza -- $5-$15. 

If one works well when you get it, it should serve for a god while if you take 
care of it. 

VCRs either run at the correct speed or don't play-back a clean picture at all. 

If the transport mechanisms are bad, the problems are generally obvious: they 
either don't load/eject the tape, don't Play or FF or REW, or do obvious damage 
(e.g. creases) to the tape. Run a junk tape through the various functions: and 
if they all work, and there are no suspicious noises, you're probably good 
mechanically.

The electronics generally either work or don't. They don't degrade. At some 
point, a capacitor dies or something, and the machine just gives up the ghost. 
If you have a working unit of any substantive age, there's no saying how long 
the circuits will last, so keep the investment low and don't worry about it.

The part of a VHS VCR that will cause the picture to degrade with use is wear 
on the heads. But all you can do about that is check the image at home.

Aside from JVC, Mitsubishi made some good S-VHS decks, though they didn't have 
frame-stores...

I have two of those JVC S-VHS decks and they work like a charm.

Re: [Frameworks] Buying a VCR in 2016

[Scott Dorsey]

I suggest sending it out to a transfer house that can do it right.  The
difference between cheap and good VCRs is pretty high, and if you buy an
old thrift store VCR you're in for a lot of work replacing every rubber
part on the transport.  The question comes down to how good a job do you
really want?

EXCITED to announce a solo performance at Roulette Intermedium NYC alongside 
David Linton: bicamRL AV (one of my favorite artists) as part of the Mixology 
Series: The Nine Lives of Electronic Music.
Nine Lives explores the reinvention of historical audio/visual forms through 
the vector of performance.
For my part, I will be using analog film and its material supports, variously 
displaced, degraded, translated, sonified, and ultimately, discarded.
February 19th @ 8pm
Details here:

Is Final Cut Pro 7 was the more film-like editing than other digital editing 
programs? Are there any digital programs that allow for single-frame

  Test it with some tapes you don't care about.   I have 2 VCRs which are still working fine, but I use them periodically to keep them in working order.   It's the sitting around for long periods of time with the belts drying out that kills them.

for about 100 you can get a brand new vcr. safer than an used clunker that
