[felix78]

Hey guys, just a question. when u recomend programs u just name abode preimere and those fo mac. but why dont u say anything about sony Vegas pro? thats just as good as abode things. just wanna know.... thats what im using, and u can make pretty Proffesional movies. (if u got the skills)

[ieatdirt]

i use sony vegas too. and it works just fine.

[felix78]

Nice,i first didnt know but i now know how to make Laser swords and all sorts of stuffs completely in Vegas without any aftereffects.

[ieatdirt]

sweet, u should tell me how. it will be a great help in the future

[etentertainment]

Good luck...pfff

[felix78]

sweet, u should tell me how. it will be a great help in the future

ive sent u tutorial via ur Indy mogul Email!

[ace24]

Send me one please!

[fadedxmasfilms]

vegas works fine but after effects is more detailed

[felix78]

u Can make as good effects in Vegas as in any other though its more complicated. but easy things r more complicated in other program than i vegas, thats why people thinks Vegas isnt as good.

[spicysmoke]

I tried out vegas once but i just thought it was more of a hassle than it was worth.

[felix78]

omg... vegas isnt hard to handle tbh.

[felix78]

ur not used to it, thats why it wasnt good for you :D

[Ricardodude]

Yeah, I find vegas very simple, and thats why I use it :P

[felix78]

Vegas can make very Proffesionel looks :D

[nooneimportant77]

Vegas can make very Proffesionel looks :D

*professional*

and i still prefer after effects and final cut pro. they're just two solid programs that are professional.

i think that hardcore indy movie makers, or any hardcore movie maker for that matter, really are against sony vegas, because it really does offer ALOT for a fraction the price, but people will swear by after effects and final cut, or motion, shake, sound track pro, or logic.

i think people just get the feeling they're working with a good solid platform because of the price, the look, and of course the fact its widely used by pros.

sony vegas has ALOT to offer, but it gets looked down upon because of the price, and i think i'll still get looked down upon for a while.

[felix78]

Lol, final cut pro isnt used by "real" film makers, so isnt Vegas. There r big differense between Using Vegas 6.0 Platinum/home edition then using vegas pro.... its alot different.

[nooneimportant77]

uh yeah final cut pro is used by real film makers.

[yuloveme537]

uh yeah final cut pro is used by real film makers.


Um actually generally no it is not, Because of the simple fact that hollywood movies are NOT recorded digital they are all recorded film. Now if we are talking about say, indie, yes they use it but you have to realize there is a difference between indy and indie. Indie will not do a project for less then a few hundred thousand. Indy is what yous ee as the kids running around with little 8mm and dv cameras you get at like best buy or walmart. There is a Big difference, and one thing you have to remember, is indie have the money to use after effects and premiere. and final cut pro.. Shoot, I used final cut pro before, but i mean it isn't anything different than using windows movie maker other than the functionality. but when it is all done it did the same thing. imports clips, put them in order, trimmed them and exported them. it can be done with anything like that. just because it costs a lot does not make it Professional. What you do with it, is what makes it professional or not.

you dont think they're sitting there cutting the actual film do you?

do you know what a da vinci machine is?

[nooneimportant77]

here's a quote i found about a movie that is possibly one of the BIGGEST hits with film buffs, especially around here.

"The film was transferred to HD SR tape and Quicktime, with Quicktime being used for the HD preview cuts. Macs were preferred by the filmmakers of 300. Even though Final Cut Pro was not the main editing software used for 300 it was preferred over Avid. Shake was also the main program used for the 2D effects and Quicktime HD was the choice for movie previews. The main visual effects team that worked on 300 said that they used 15 G5's for creating all of the visual effects"

EDIT: i found this list too, its not complete its just an example

The Rules of Attraction (2002)
Full Frontal (2002)
Cold Mountain (2003) - Academy Award Nominee for Best Editing
Intolerable Cruelty (2003)
Napoleon Dynamite (2003)
Open Water (2003)
The Ladykillers (2004)
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)
Super-Size Me (2004)
Michael Moore Hates America (2004)
Corpse Bride (2005)
Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story (2005)
Happy Endings (2005)
Jarhead (2005)
Little Manhattan (2005)
Hoot (2006)
Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)
Zodiac (2007)
Reign Over Me (2007)
Youth Without Youth (2007)

so uh yeah real film makers use final cut pro, i never said MOST film makers do. however, real hollywood types, use final cut pro.

not to mention its the leading editing software for television

[felix78]

Most Hollywood film makers make their own Editing program. but they mostly use already made Effects programs.

where did you get that info?

[stopedmotionproductions]

i saw the cloning episode and i need a free sortware to do it

[stopedmotionproductions]

help?

[Wraith 5]

Try Jahshaka, It's an OpenGl freeware VFX program. www.jahshaka.org

[stopedmotionproductions]

ya but that didnt work
i use avi files but it said i need bmp files

[kennyboy13]

Do you mean a video editor that can do layers?

Try Wax 2.0 (http://www.debugmode.com/wax/) - its free.

[bookin productions]

Hey what software do you think Indy Mogul uses to make their bfx titles and stuff?:confused:

[nooneimportant77]

after effects i think.

[bookin productions]

what software is easy and free to make good titles like the bfx one and 4min film school?

[nibbu]

yah? 'cuz i noly have moviemaker for windos that came on my computer and my prarents wont buy me nething!!!

[mopman]

maybe they will buy you something when you can learn to spell. I looked at you're site and you talk like you are six years old

[nooneimportant77]

it looks like they might have used flash for the 4 minute film school, but that could be after effects as well.

if you want the stuff to look good, you have to spend the money. its expensive for a reason.

[17thletterfilms]

maybe they will buy you something when you can learn to spell. I looked at you're site and you talk like you are six years old

Maybe he is six.

And yeah, why don't you try to just ask them nicely? Approach them and tell them why you want one so badly. It might work. (Although I had to pay for all of my cameras.)

[google550]

You ain't too hot either, mister. You're is a conjunction of "You," and "Are." Get yer' stuff straight!

[google550]

In an effort to stay on topic, I'm pretty sure they use After Effects, but they could very well be using Final Cut. I'm dead sure that the 4 minute Film School logo is made in Flash. I'm DEAD SURE.

[Direktor]

hello there and welcome to nibbu film. sorry we dont have any films or stuff yet but soon when i get a camera and a micophone and a geenscreen and some other stuffs me and my friends will mkea mobies bur i promise they ll be goodand actiony and stuff.

To make these "mobies" you only need a camera. "Micophones" and "geenscreens" only help to enhance your films.

[google550]

Are we just a little angry on the inside? Just a little?

Meesa being cheeeeeeeky!

[17thletterfilms]

I did choke.

[ionfilms]

Well at least he wants to make films.
I agree that After Effects was used to make the opening for BFX. I honestly don't know for Four minuet school.

[bookin productions]

Ok thanks

[toppie34]

I did choke.
had a heart attack lol no but really nibbu (whatever that means) if you are reading this i spend 1000 dollars on only minidv tapes, camera, editing software, cables, and tripods
and you need to be serious to your my parents when my parents firs heard it they werent that supportive but when i bought some things they knew i was serious and started being supportive

[toppie34]

four minute film school intro was made with adobe flas and sign was made with photoshop and edited in there and they are probally using an apple program

[gcubedproductions]

I think it's either After Effects Pro or Apple Motion 3(?).

[bookin productions]

well whatever they used its great!

[toppie34]

well whatever they used its great!
yep it is

[bronsonwess]

I really need a new FX software for laser beams, smoke, and other things, but I don't know what I should use. Does anyone know what indymogul uses?

[ericslovechild]

I think justin has after effects. But that is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. It's the best stuff out there if you can shell out the $1k that it'll cost you. You may want to buy EffecsLab from FXhome.com for about $150. It works fine.

[bronsonwess]

ya I've used fx home, but it always gives me trouble when I render

[MiGo]

Maybe you can buy After Effects as a used version... On Ebay perhaps...... :)

[bronsonwess]

maybe

[SolarMoth]

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio. It's easy and gets the job done. Many effects can be fitted to it.

You can easily make smoke, muzzle blasts, fire, ect. (I even did a helicopter)

you can use free Green Screen Effects from DetonationFilms.com

[KMProductions]

Maybe you can buy After Effects as a used version... On Ebay perhaps...... :)

uh you do know that there is no such thing as used software. Once you buy a software you can't re sell it unless the computer that its on goes with it. So you wont be finding any used AE on ebay.

[UncleAl]

That's not exactly true...
Software licensing states that you can sell software, but you have to erase every copy you own and transfer all to the new owner.

Cheers!

Al B.

[ciwi286]

Old versions of AE will do the job fine aswell. There are a good few available on eBay.

It's certainly expensive, but not ridiculous for the product - especially considering that professionals who easily make 10x that much on a single project use it.

[snicket]

Yea, AE is the best!!! If you have a Student ID you can get it cheaper from www.academicsuperstore.com (http://www.academicsuperstore.com)

[mesystudios]

Hey thanks for that link. That site looks like it has some good stuff cheap.

[testpig]

you can buy my old laptop from me, it has adobe CS3 master installed on it. The Harddrive is brand new, and only has CS3 on it. but something is up with the battery or MB.. the laptop randomly doesn't turn on. pm me.

im with justin, before my AFX went *put it was like my godly favorite child. (no relation to jesus) if you can put the money in to get it, go for it!

[sinjar]

Better than a pair of scissors and scotch tape.

Or hand drawing each frame.

Maybe that can be the next big Indy Mogul feature.

Q and Eric Live, Animated.

I think the frame rate may be a tad low though.

lol! It's like the time I went to see Finding Nemo live. They had to animate, render,edit, and voice every frame/scene. By the time I saw the first minute of it I was dehydrated.

[justin]

Doesn't it say at the end of every episode?

Negatory on Adobe Premier Elements.

[davisproductions1995]

Hey indy mogul you guys always say That Phrase "Computer Majic" But never say what kind of software its on and how to use that soft ware i think you should do a episode on what kind of software you guys use and how to use it or some tips
Thanks

Michael Davis

[Mattageddon]

Use the forum search.

[loosechange]

They're usually using After Effects for real computer magic. Just do your research on the web. Got a Mac or a Pc? Then from there see what your software options are.

[ionfilms]

Sony Vegas is one of the best editors on the pc, and Adobe After Effects is hands down the best special fx program. Thats what I think.
