Scanned 8mm film: use Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, or a combination?
background (cs6)
i've had several reels of 8mm , super 8 film scanned, , because i'm bit fussy, wanted top quality – , meant using lasergraphics scanstation, best scanner 8mm film within price range of home enthusiast.
i asked 2k overscans ensure none of image lost through excessive cropping during scanning process. see image, below, frame 1938 film.
some of scans destined showing on computer – want them good, means want crop close edge of image, retain rounded corners, , mask else. want export cropped image – non-standard size, what's inside crop – quicktime, @ 16 fps or 18 fps depending on film type.
mask in photoshop
i can generate mask in photoshop, apply mask inside premiere, don't know how crop mask when exporting, or how export 16 or 18 fps. i'm unsure combination of software – premiere, photoshop, after effects – appropriate task.
in summary: want output @ non-standard frame rate, cropped non-standard size, rounded corners.
ques 1
can premiere crop export round-corner mask @ exact size of mask? in photoshop generate round-corner selection rectangle, , crop selection. can similar in premiere when exporting quicktime?
ques 2
can premiere export @ 16 fps or 18 fps? think answer no, want sure.
ques 3
in titler, can premiere generate (like can generate in photoshop), fixed-size, round-corner rectangle use mask? when last looked, there several round-corner options in titler, none fixed-size corners.
possible workflow?
i can't work out best workflow, here's 1 thought:
1. generate round-corner mask in photoshop.
2. apply mask in premiere , check okay running through entire film. if not okay, adjust mask in ps , try again.
3. edit film in premiere. export premiere round-corner crop @ 16 fps – if possible. if not possible…
4. … replace after effects composition, , crop , export in after effects.
i don't know how bit yet, assume after effects can export @ frame rate, , allow me crop custom shape. before start looking ae, can ae things?
why need create round corner mask? have them on image. maybe misunderstood post.
i dont understand reason workflow. ie 1.2.3.4 !
what mean "non standard size" ?
export frame rate determined file , the "media player" pal / ntsc
ie. show 16 fps on?
