I tried opening the dancing woman movie in folder that came with SudioArtist. I had clicked on "open," then doubled clicked on the movie, and it didn't load. The bottom line is I don't know how to load a movie. Can someone help me with that?
Thank you.

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

Read more…Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…

On a mac, hit command + N for a new source image and canvas. Navigate to the movie, double click, it will appear in the source image should appear in the source image area. On a PC hit Ctrl + N.
I tried with a .mp4 and nothing happened. Are .mp4 movies not accepted?
They work if they are QuickTime compatible in V5.
If you are on windows you would need QuickTime for windows installed.
Double clicking on a movie file would open that movie in whatever you have specified on your computer as the default application for the movie file format.
Everything "movie" is ghosted. I hit Command N. Got a dialog box. Double clicked on a mp4 and nothing happened.
Okay, I see what the problem is. 64 bit does not support movie files. Then I tried to use 32 bit. But I got a box that said the app needs to be updated for the Mac OS.
It sounds like for movie files on a Mac with the latest OS to be used, I need to wait until version 5.5 comes out. Is that correct?
Yes. Movie file io on Catalina and Big Sur require SA V5.5.
You can still work with movies in SA V5 64 bit via folders of numbered frame images.
1: Convert from your nonlinear video editor to a folder of frames.
2: Process folder of frames using PASeq Process : Image to Image. Runs them all with one command.
3: Then convert back to a movie again. You can use the apple QuicktimePlayer app to do that. Or FCP.
It's 2 extra steps, but no obstacle to getting work done processing movies with Studio Artist effects.
Anyway, V5.5 is almost out the door.
Thank you.

i am about to have apple walk me through partitioning an external drive i bought. should i wait?
If you are partitioning just to setup Mojave on a machine to run 32 bit Studio Artist V5 to process movie files directly, i'd wait a few days and then use Studio Artist V5.5 to do it.
If you need to have Mojave around till the end of time, because you have old quicktime movies in codecs that no longer open on Catalina or Big Sur, then you probably do want that Mojave partition.
I was jazzed when i found a bunch of old Flip Videos i recorded more than 10 years ago recently that i thought would be great to use as source movies for some projects, and then was very bummed when i realized that none of them would open on any modern macs.
