Software Woes...AGAIN...

3/20/2017

It seems the struggle with stop motion animation software is a continual one. I finally got Pinnacle to work the way I need it to, then they did some upgrades and removed the functionality I needed. I need/want to be able to micro manage the timeline. Used to be able to that. Now I can't get it to let me.

Dragonframe still doesn't work. Got a hold of support, who told me to roll back a version. That works...sort of. I cannot get my camera to capture with it. I got the Canon T5i because it is specifically listed as a compatible camera in Dragonframe documentation. While I can take pictures with it in Pinnacle still, and I can use it with the Canon live capture software, when I try to use Dragonframe I get a message that it failed to capture. I cannot get a live view. And even though the camera is set to manual and I have it plugged into the outlet, I keep getting warnings from Dragonframe that neither are true. This is getting old. I can use the crappy webcam with Dragonframe. Not what I want to use. No control, and I can't place it whereever I want to. And it is CRAPPY. No quality at all. So something is happening during communication between the Canon and Dragonframe. There is a setting I am not finding in the documentation. There may be a patch that I can't get because they would rather I move up to the newest version, which doesn't work with my computer.

Grr argh sigh.

*EDIT: Ok, so I just let Pinnacle update AGAIN. Micro managing ability is BACK! Whew. No matter what I do I can't get Dragonframe to connect correctly with my camera. I found an additional document. Still didn't help. Stop Motion centric software MY ASS.

Played more with the Capaldi action figure. He is kind of fun to play with, even if he looks like a cross between Capaldi and Neil Gaiman. I still don't have anchor magnets, so I decided to see about how I would move him with a closer shot. I used my telephoto lens enxtension and the keys from the octopus video. It was kind of fun. It is a bit jerky. Ok, a lot jerky. In fact, YouTube offered to de-shake it for me. How sweet. :P

I also obtained a way to get tips/contributions electronically. I don't honestly expect to get anything, but it is free, and any chance to get funds to upgrade equipment or pay for building materials I will take. I added a button in the right hand column for your convenience. I want to build my next set of puppets with a skin of baloon rubber latex. I think that will work better thant he stuff I used for Wade. I only did Wade's hands in latex, and it wasn't exactly what I expected. I think the ballon rubber will be more durable and stretchy, making it easier to move the hands and fingers without causeing issues.

Anyway, here is the keys video I made.

I also did one where I joined the clip form the other day with this clip. Here is the results for that:

Rec Room Riots....

Yup....I am still working at perfecting my camera technique with Pinnacle 20. It has been frustrating, but I think I finally got it working how I want it to. I did some more animating today, and plan to do more tomorrow. Practice makes perfect. I want to be able to make good, entertaining videos, I have to practice. Right?

So here is the most recent attempt. I called it Rec Room Riot. I do not know why. I did not realize that there could bhe an issue with light refracting wierd through the glass snail. But the focus is pretty good. I am happy with that. I notice the little things, of course...the visible handi tac....the bumped table....the choppy sequence....but overall not to shabby. I may get the hang of this after all. :)
*Edit: So I decided to upload it to Vimeo as well, just to see if it looks better. It does. Much. Here ya go.
