Dane,

I was wondering about the Vuze player. I've been checking it out, but can't seem to find any timeline scrubbing ability.

I have a feeling many of us will prefer having this feature for the LART footage. I know whenever I'm examining test clips, I like to jump around quickly to various points in time.

Is this possible to enable? Or maybe I'm missing how it's done?

thanks for your help.
 
Hey Casey!
All you have to do to jump around in time in the Vuze Player is to drag the blue time bar that is advancing while the movie is playing to any point you like by simply click and drag. Simple as pie!
For LART, However, we will be uploading the files in Quicktime H264 so it will be familiar for everyone. Also, our player re-encodes the files uploaded to Vuze and although it does a nice job, we don't want any more compression after spending time grading and encoding ourselves.
This way everyone will be happy with the final encoded files. We might even do a special Apple ProRes HQ file for those of us who want to see a 2K version in its full glory, but that is still up for debate. Of course, only apple/FCS2 folks can take advantage of viewing that version. Steve and Ken have the final say so on that so start your campaigning now if you guys want ProRes HQ.
Anyhow, it was good hanging with you for the weekend at LART and hopefully we can work together again soon.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply. I did try exactly what you suggested before posting, and for whatever reason, I just can't get the Vuze player to let me drag the timeline control. Are there certain files, perhaps that don't allow this? (I've tried several and all behave the same way.)

As far as Quicktime H264 goes, yeah that makes sense...

I might suggest to Steve and Ken that once all the clips are posted, if people want a ProRes HQ version, perhaps we could have a poll to decided which ones are selected.

Anyhow, great meeting you too. Keep in touch.
 
Hmmm... Strange, PC or Mac? Cause I have never had a problem with that exactly. Then again, i almost exclusively work on a mac. I have a PC here at home that i will try to duplicate that issue. I will go ahead and inquire further and see if other comments like your have come in and get back to you with an answer. Also, our player is still very much in its infancy so bear with it for the time being. We are working to improve it!!!

Mike and I did a 2K ProRes test and it will be feasible to give viewers the ability to watch the LART test in 80mbit 2K ProRes. There will also be a 720P/1080P versions for download through our player.

HDforIndies Spain RED tests are up now if you want to checkout new RED footage....

Any word on if I'm allowed to mirror these clips? I'm ready to do so, I just need the OK.

Edit: Is this even part of LART?
 
Yes for 2K ProRes.
 
The ones that are up are just 1080p though, right?

So I'll be able to mirror the 2k ProRes files?

Just trying to clarify.
 
i don't think this is part of LART, just the VUZE rep saying this is how LART will be able to be viewed...probably some friendly moderator should break it out as its own thread, i think it would be worth discussing...

there's a big fat artifact on the dancer footage, about halfway through the file. kind of a split-screen-y type of thing. someone with more knowledge of what produces this should have a look.
 
This is the "sensor protect flare" which is a known issue and is being addressed. (I believe it is already fixed, but perhaps the firmware version was not yet released). There have been several threads which have discussed this before. (You can also see in the center of the light source where the sensor protect spot is seen.)

I also agree that this section should be moved into it's own thread.

Here is a link to one of the threads discussing the flare:

HDforIndies is not LART, the HD4Indy footage was shot in Spain on one of the early REDs. Almost all of it is Steadicam. The difference between HDforIndies and GibCor/Lart will be the Color done in Scratch by a Pro Colorist.

Vuze will offer a 1080p & 720p H264 versions for the global community. 2k ProRes files will be up for the High End Apple users w/ FCP (sorry no windows plug in at this time). Vuze will be the first Online distributor to offer 2k resolution files so any one with a 30inch monitor will have the time of there life.

All we ask is once the footage is posted that everyone please seed to increase the download bandwidth for all. Thanks!
