Hi Frischvergiftung,

Here are some examples, adjusted in the Material for the ratio. Yes, it is round, but use the timeslider to go to frame 72.

The Scale and Offset in the Texture node need to be set so that it maps each image to a 1:1 starting point. Vignetting is present, so scale down and offset. Just as each camera lens or projector lens, without framing, would create a circle larger than the sensor or film. The numbers relate to the Lower Left Corner of the image. The Offset is then set to -1 to position that corner of the image in the upper right. Hence, only values between make sense.

The Material holds three Texture Nodes; connect them to see the ratio. Use the time slider to adjust the final size.

You can set presets for the Texture Node; test these carefully with your footage ratios before going into production. The file is just a demo.

All the best

You're very welcome, Frischvergiftung.

Cheers

Hi Max,

The simplest and most effective tip I can share is to follow the information flow. When you keep this in mind, things might be clearer.

Yes, it has "some" depth, but that is fun to explore and to find something no one has ever used, even though I had figured it all out (Dunning Kruger Effect… 😉 for sure!) on the night before we premiered it in Las Vegas, NV in 2006, it constantly allows me to explore it and something new pops up. I love that.

Enjoy.

Hi Frischvergiftung,

Yes, that list needs to come in on time! 😉

Fingers crossed it works.

Have a great Sunday!

Hi Frischvergiftung,

Select the items in question, then right-mouse-click, and use Generate Preview.

Thanks for the reply, Max.

It was there before, but the default is no longer on. I will write a little report. This might be very annoying otherwise. Thanks for bringing this point up.

Options> HQ Noise would have been my other suggestion

Thanks for understanding, unique-foundation.

I hope this will be solved for you.

Thanks for the kind feedback, unique-foundation!

Yes, I assume that will bother many people, but we can significantly ease that problem thanks to your question. Thank you!

My best wishes for your project.
