Images will have a watermark that cannot be removed. You can use a wide range of hardware, from the do-it-yourself Arduino-based DFMoco sketch to off-the-shelf kits from the eMotimo or Slidekamera. You’ll have the move perfected in record time. On a long move, you can reshoot just the section you’re working on. The moving test captures video assist frames only, in order to speed up the test process. Run a move test within the Arc workspace and see how it looks. Once you’ve programmed a move, you’ll want to test it out. So if the animator needs to reshoot a few frames, Dragon frame can safely move the rig back into the proper position, every time. It means that the lighting and motion control will be in the right place, at the right time. It means that you can quickly preview moves using the same camera you will be animating with. Integrated motion control means that you can program camera moves and lighting effects from within the same system.
You can customize the exposure’s lighting program directly, or create a new program for one or more exposures to share.
It’s easy to create custom lighting programs for different exposures. Adjust the smoothness in each direction with a simplified “bezier” handle-giving you a large degree of control while maintaining an efficient programming interface. You define your lighting program before you shoot, and then watch as the app controls your lights during the shot, leaving your animators to focus on animating.ĭefine your lighting program with keyframes. View this data while animating, in the X-Sheet, Timeline, or Audio HUD.Ĭontrol up to 512 lighting channels in conjunction with DDMX-512, DMC-16, or DMC+. You can even move waveforms and character track readings together, to keep them in sync.Ĭreate characters, scrub through your audio, and assign words and phonetics for all your dialogue. Split tracks and drag segments to adjust the timing on the fly. Import multiple audio tracks and make basic edits. Compare image contrast with the Digital Densitometer. Load images from other scenes to compare exposure and composition. Check for over or underexposed areas with the clipping view. Add a push-in mask to allow post-production push-in or panning.Ĭheck images at full-resolution. Add grid overlays for help with composition. Take test shots and get your shot right, before you start.Ĭompose for multiple formats with confidence. Check and adjust the focus with Canon, Nikon, Olympus, or Fujifilm cameras. Set camera settings such as shutter speed, ISO, and white balance directly from the program. And the hotkeys are fully configurable, so if you really like a feature that is not on the keypad, you can move it there. With the Dragonframe keypad, you can stay focused on animating instead of hunting around with the mouse.
Pop-out reference videos into a synchronized player if you want it off to the side. Blend them with opacity, pull a chromakey (blue screen), and even assign a garbage matte to see just the part you want. Load multiple reference stills or videos and view them with your animation. The playback and stepping functions are fully customizable for your needs. Loop playback to get the sense of movement you’re aiming for. Step directly between live view and captured frames or switch to auto-toggle. Use the intuitive graphical interface to program advanced camera moves. Simple front light/backlight programming. Program animated lighting with simple keyframes. Perform dialogue track reading for multiple characters. Compose and light the perfect shot with camera controls, test shots, and advanced image review tools.
