Check out the above and also their tracking plates. Not perfect, but nothing ever is and they are free. Can't do much better than that.

I can't think of any better way to say it than "It just feels ass-backwards to me". The first time I jumped on Nuke it was an epiphany. Everything was just where I needed it and I could quickly do...
AFAIK after effects doesn't have an edgeDetect or edgeBlur as standard. The guys above explained how to do it with edgeDetect, however it might be a good idea to know how to "roll your own", as it...

Thanks a lot for your information and time, it is very much appreciated. A mate and I are looking at possibly heading over to China (Chengdu) for work later this year and it is always a...
Coming from a Shake background, for me Nuke blows Fusion away for film compositing. Nuke just seems to fit my mindset. Admittedly I am currently using an old version of Fusion (5.21) and there have...
That's what I was looking for . . co-ordinates in "screenspace". Okay, I am going to give this another go today.
ETA: okay, got it working. I didn't realise that the 3Dlocator node had to be...
Hey guys, long time Shake user now at a studio with Fusion and trying to get my head around it. I figure I have bothered the guys over at pigsfly enough for one week, so here I am!
I am trying to...

A very interesting look at using multiple colour/ID passes and extracting them. Based on Shake, so I am not sure if AE has the same scope for...
Coming from a slightly opposite direction, I did a full business degree and work with industry and government before going into visual FX and it has helped out a couple of times as I was kept around...
Audiobooks. Seriously, you can get through some weighty unabridged books while doing a lot of roto.
I started back to study when I was around 28 and got my first job when I was 30, so no, not too late. I have noticed that for the most part compositors tend to be a bit older and have come from...
Hmm, that sounds like a bit of overkill to me! Surely you can just isolate the R, G, B channels in comp?

Bummer. I am a big fan of Stu's book (just started reading it again before the announcement) and blog, as well as the work The Orphanage has done.
Best wishes for all those guys and girls who are...
The only issue I have had with the tweaker (and other floating windows such as the load/save dialog box) is that sometimes when you resize them the windows freeze, so you just have to grab their...
Well, I don't really see how for most CG work having a Mac vs PC is particularly beneficial. I have both at home and have used both in production and it doesn't really make that much difference.

Exactly. For roto, there is no emotional point, it's cutting stuff out. If you finalled the comp, you might be able to talk about your use of light and shade to indicate the duality of the...
Talk about timing! We are running tests with Neat and it seems to be producing much better results than Furnace . . .
Now, now, now. Before you get all excited, yes I know that Shake is not meant for mo-graph stuff. However, I am teaching a beginners course that has this listed down as one of the topics. Needless...
I'd be very, very careful with the "L" key . . . if you have the wrong things selected it will completely destroy your carefully laid out script and there is no undo. I speak from experience :(
I...
Was there a link for this? Might drive a bit more traffic to the site as some people are too lazy to use the googles on their internet machines . . .
Not wanting to be mean, but this post immediately reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer's scheme of making money goes something like:
1. Get the sugar
2. ??????
3. Profit!
It's...
FXPHD gives you the best bang for buck in my opinion. Not only do you get hi-def tutorials, you get a tonne of 'real' footage and forums to discuss with tutors and other students.

Here's a couple of really good posts on resume design:

I started off in 3D with 3ds max and concentrated mainly on FX and lighting. I have been comping for 2 and a bit years now and 3D knowledge has come in handy quite a few times.
I believe that...
