Hi, This is so timely
as I'm in middle of ongoing project. - Have been a longtime user of the Heroglyph Studio Plugin (Currently S12 Ultimate). One thing that has frustrated me for some time is the following - and I hope its just an oversight on my part:
If you add an object to the heroglyph timeline and then place a fade in effect and/or a fade out effect after it, I can not see a way of telling which effect has been used if you wish to go back and edit it, or use the same effect on a new timeline object. If you go to the effects box while on a timeline object what seems to be highlighted is the last effect used rather than what is used on the particular object on the time- line. I can't seem to find anyway of determining exactly what effect was used. Yes, you know you have used a rotation effect or a wave effect but with 6 or so of each - which effect exactly. There seems no text option either that gives that detail. By way of an example - when using Mercelli and you have applied an effect - if you go back and edit the clip you know exactly what effect you have applied as it defaults to that effect in the selection box(es). From what I can determine Heroglyph gives no glue/notation as to which effect has been applied. The same applies if an effect is applied to the timeline object as a permanent effect.
What am I missing please? - so I can stop taking copious notes of every Heroglyph effect I apply, so I am able to duplicate each one, when needed again on a project spread over many months - my memory is just not that good
.
BTW, I have had recent successes (SD) with camera movement problems with Mercelli using a different effect that what would have been my 1st choice from the description of the effect. Yes there is loss of clarity - to be expected - but the movement reduction has been quite acceptable. Rendering the processed clip to an avi file and then applying a mercelli effect again has also seen further improvements - but I agree - more info on effect selection would be helpful, if available, rather than the currect trial and error.
Thanks
Colin
