film look in Vegas
I was reading the description on the VASST site of the Celluloid with ReelPak-1. It says it's a "standalone application for Vegas 5 and above". Does anyone know how well it works? Also, will it definitely work with Vegas 6? I'm just looking for something that will give some video clips a more film-like look. I realize nothing is going to make video looks exactly like film, but I have some clips I'd like to mix in with some film footage without it being too obvious.
I've also read about an app called CinematiQ that is being offered for an introductory price of $99. Anyone familiar with it? |
Hey Ron,
I'm using it with Vegas 6 - you should be fine. It's basically presets for filters - colour correction, contrast, etc etc. It won't necessarily give it a film look, but you can give the footage a bit more 'mood'. While it is true that anything Celluloid can do, you could do with Vegas only, it gives you presets to quickly get you close to where you want to be, then you can tweak everything. Oh, and it's pretty cheap too. Haven't used CinematiQ - I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has though. Cheers. |

Celluloid is a script plug-in for Sony Vegas® 5 and above. It contains ReelPak-1 by David Jimerson which also plugs into the VASST Ultimate S tool. We used the term “stand-alone” at that time so that people knew it didn’t require Ultimate S. The text is a bit misleading to say it’s a standalone application. That may give people the impression that you don’t need Vegas to use it. You do. Quote:

Sorry JR - I am from PAL land and I also shoot in 16:9 so I don't have a need for 24p or 16:9 conversion. FWIW I think Celluloid is well worth it for the presets only..

I've looked at some of the stuff that's included with Vegas, but it isn't very impressive as far as giving a film look. They rely on things like scratches and a grainy appearance for a "film look". It really doesn't look very film-like. For $24.99, I guess there isn't much to lose by trying Celluloid with Reelpak-1. I just wondered how well it really works. I'm also considering giving CinematiQ a try for the $99 intro price. |

Also as John said it takes eons to render. While you might think 'that's ok I'll just render overnight' that gets old quickly - especially when you get up and the render is only 30% complete or something... Kyle. |
What version of Vegas comes with Majic Bullet?

I've been overwhelmed by the positive response Celluloid and the Reelpaks have received. I'm glad to know everyone finds them so useful! |
