Eric800 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Instead of starting my movie at 00:00:00 in the time line I would like to start some were in the negetive numbers since I forgot my beginning credits..... is it possible to start and render my movie at -00:49:02 to 01:59:05 Thanks, Eric Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 10, 2009 Hash Fellow Posted July 10, 2009 No, you can't render negative times, but you can select and drag all your keyframes to later times so they are all in positive territory. Quote
DJBREIT Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 You should always start your animation a few seconds or more .before the action starts. And add a few seconds at the end of the scene. The reasons are, To allow A:M time to setup before your scene begins. To give you some editing room. You can always trim down the scene. But it maybe more difficult or not possible to extend the scene without redoing it. It allows you some room to adjust for sound files and time frames. As a director you know what is to be anticipated in the next scene. This can cause you to rush a scene. Your audience can and will get confused if your scenes jump around to quickly. Making the scene start a little longer will give you some room to adjust for this. And in this case you will have the room to add your credit. I would give 30 seconds to a minute worth of time. You can always cut it down Note if the beginning scene is static you can copy the frames to add the time you need. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 10, 2009 Hash Fellow Posted July 10, 2009 Also... V15 has some editing capacity so you can take renderings from two different chors and edit them together to make a longer movie. Quote
