| Thanks to all for the excellent feedback. I was leaning to going no tracker monitors and leaving the screens off, and I think unless the monitor has obvious other lighting effects in power/status that I don't want to fool with, will we do that. >Assuming the screen, when off, is a nice deep black instead of green or some other color. I've confirmed with Art that all are deep black, so we should be good. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ http://www.sv2dcp.com/ http://www.sv2studios.com/ A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. -Stanley Kubrick -----Original Message----- From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Chris Meyer Sent: Monday, October 22, 2012 7:15 PM To: After Effects Mail List Subject: Re: [AE] Tracking point suggestions for CRTs Assuming the screen, when off, is a nice deep black instead of green or some other color.

Use Levels on the reflections to dial them in, but I'd still stick with Adding in linear space. You can use the color profile converter to do this on just the Add operation if you don't want to set your entire project to linear. >> >> >> Brendan >> >> >> +---End of message---+ >> To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
