Opening movie files

Posted by Ādyaśakti Svāmī on December 18, 2021 at 8:24pm

Hi everyone. I'm making a music video and being rather new to Studui Artist, I'm running into some problems. I'm trying to follow the tutorial video on automatic rotoscoping, and if I use the example video included in the SA a installation, everything works fine. But when I try to open a short sample video of my own, it doesn't load. But there is no error message, the only indication is that I don’t get the canvas size dialog, and the video doesn't show up in the image preview. I tried both .mp4 and .mov versions of the same file, but no dice. Searching the manual also revealed nothing. What's going on? Oh and I have a ton more questions.

      Originally a .mov file, I also tried converting it to .mp4 but no luck.

    I wrote tech support and found that the default pre4ferences settings were incorrect. Set them a little differently and now everything works! These were the default settings:

    9926599076?profile=RESIZE_930x

    I changed Image Frame Format to .PNG, Movie Codec to H.264 and both FPS setting to 30, it worked.

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. 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

The Overload

Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…

Teenage Tongue Cult

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…
