Hello Jim (regarding server slowdown issues)
by Ron Lindeboom

Regarding the delivery of Flash (and Quicktime) files, our four Quad-Opteron servers are on their own load-balanced hardware router and even that is not enough to keep up with the incredible number of people trying to download our tutorials. This morning, as I write this, there are about 500 people at once trying to download these files. We have had a 1Gigabit (GIG-E) Ethernet pipe. We also have another two servers being built to help take some more of the load. Unfortunately, we would have to be gazillionaires to be able to build a site that never runs into issues on delivering dynamic media files. So, since we are not, we do the best we can and hope that people will understand that sometimes they will get a delay when traffic is excessively heavy.

Best regards,

Ron Lindeboom

The Bourne Flashback: Creating a Flashback Look

Nice job on these.
Unfortunatley, though, the flash progressive download or stream or...progressive stream is tending to stutter quite a bit, do there's a lot of 'waiting' for the download. I'm not on a slow computer and my connection is not slow, so just a little feedback for you guys. Maybe you'd want to provide a quicktime option as well? I really want to see the rest of this video, but I fear it will take a while!

AE - RE:MATCH Non-matching Cameras in After Effects
Play Video
In this tutorial, Andrew Devis demonstrates a relatively new plug-in by RE:Vision Effects called RE:Match and how it can very quickly and accurately deal with the very common problem of non-matching cameras in After Effects. A typical approach to dealing with say a white balance issue would be to apply Color Finesse 3 and work with that which can be a slightly convoluted process, while RE:Match deals with the whole thing in a couple of clicks! This very powerful effect can save a great deal of time for an everyday problem and so earn its cost back very quickly as well as giving excellent and fast results. There is another tutorial showing how this effect works in Premiere Pro as there is a slightly different way the two applications deal with reference images.

IK Character Animation: Walk to the Beat 1: Finding the Beat
Play Video
This tutorial is both a follow-on tutorial to Andrew's previous tutorials on IK controllers in After Effects and a helpful stand-alone tutorial showing how to define a beat range to use as a guide to animation in After Effects. To start with Andrew shows how to use a simple expression to deal with a potential problem of controllers scaling your objects. Then Andrew shows how to find and download sample music which can be used to base your animation on. He goes on to discuss the difficulty of matching frame rates with audio sample rate and then shows how to get a reasonably close 'loop' in both After Effects and especially in Audition.

AE: Inverse Kinematic Character Animation
Play Video
Standard character animation in After Effects uses a process called 'Forward Kinematics' in that we animate down a linked chain - for example, upper arm linked to forearm linked to hand. To get animation we need to move the items down the chain one at a time. Inverse Kinematics creates a link back up the chain such that moving the hand would also move the forearm and the upper arm without breaking that link. This is a simpler and easier to control form of animation often used in 3D programs such as C4D and 3ds max etc. and allows us to control the animation for the complete chain through a single controller.

Advice To Editors: LEARN AE!

Kevin McAuliffe's experience has been that all editors need to know Adobe After Effects at least as well as their NLE. His own experience has been that anything less than intermediate to advanced knowledge makes it impossible to actually get anything done. Even working with the compositing power of Avid Symphony, Kevin is in AE all day, every day. Here's the story of how he got there.

Prisoner To My Passion

"I don't know if it's addiction or adoration, but one way or the other, I'm hooked on her," says Creative COW's Rob Mize. "The signs are all there: the obsession with After Effects, the inability to function without After Effects there next to me on my laptop, waiting to be clicked. And the torment of each moment spent suffering any separation from my cherished compositor. Is it any wonder that I, a once innocent naïf in an analog world, now find myself enraptured by this non-linear, digital Delilah?"
