How about a long boom and a skilled operator? (Note that the example has lots of reverb and post-processing - some noise gating to reduce reverb and room tone, footsteps are probably dubbed or...

I would try to integrate the text more into the scene. I would get rid of the wipes and, as suggested, have the text appear as if it is 3 dimensional lettering within the scene. Andrew Kramer's...

What command are you using to change the speed? There are several ways to lengthen or shorten the scene plus numerous plug-ins. If you use Layer > Time > Time Stretch, the layer should be stretched...

Corner pin.

Well, 24fps will not provide as good a quality slo-mo as 60fps. But just how good it will be will depend on a LOT of other things.

Video slo-mo'd with TimeWarp (or other interpolation tools) is...

I have used Neat Video. It allows separate control for luma and chroma NR, plus a number of other controls. In my experience, it also can be adjusted to greatly reduce luma noise and still retain...

Pretty sure the transition is Card Wipe (at least in AE.) To set it on an angle, you'll need to precompose and rotate in AE, or use a nested sequence in PPro.

I have used AE to handle very large images and I think it specs at something like 30,000 x 30,000. The size of the image you can import or export is influenced by the amount of physical RAM available...

My thinking is that "heavy film grain" means that every frame is significantly different from nearby frames. By definition, this will make it dificult for any spacial encoding scheme, especially...

Pretty sure MBL is looking at whatever clip is under the current time indicator (CTI) in the timeline. Instead of double-clicking on a clip, just view that clip in the output monitor. Then apply...

Well, this is really just a way for the venue to force you to pay a cut of your profits (and effectively raise the price for the end-consumers.) But I wonder how this sort of thing is impacted by...

Ahhh, the famous "teal and orange" look. It was used so much a few years ago that it sort of became a cliche - Transformers 2, Terminator: Salvation, and The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, etc. A bit of...

Since they are both Adobe, I suspect they are pretty much the same (at least for CS5.5 and CS 6.) If you have a shot that is difficult to stabilize, I'd suggest googling for some advanced...

FYI - my guess is that mocha does not know how to interpret .mts files.

After Effects has Warp Stabilizer that works very well to stabilize most shots and can be used with anything that works in...

There are plug-ins to add flare in post. One of the more realisitic I have seen is the one from Video CoPilot. I don't remember it's name right now.

I find that the Black Pro-Mist has the effect of diffusing more in the shadows. A white diffusion filter would likely have the effect of more blooming in the highlights. Larger f-stops equal more...

I have used a diffusion filter like Pro-Mist, Black Pro-Mist, or GlimmerGlass to get the effects you're referencing. It always seems to me that f-stop will have some effect on the amount of...

If the ACR window is open, you are changing metadata related to the RAW file. You can edit in Camera RAW as much as you like. You can then open the file inside of PS and make additional changes -...

Mike,
For one of my most powerful Photoshop techniques, I use "apply image" to create a luma mask from one (or more) of the RGB channels. I've had excellent results using a similar technique in AE...

You didn't ask for advice in this area: Magic Bullet is an excellent product, but nothing I have used seems to do a better job for noise reduction than Neat Video. You may want to try the free demo...

You have some nice rim lighting in there, so I'm not sure exactly where you'd like to add contrast. However, you can use curves adjustment on a luminousity layer to gain some added contrast. In...

One of the Videocopilot tutorials has a technique to control the amount of stabilization. Look for the one with a police car.

Jim

IIRC, Magic Bullet can probably do CA in post. I know it does blur and vignetting.

However, you could just add masked duplicate layers with separate colors and a blur. Then adjust their scale...

You can also use ctl-shift-D (PC) to split the clip where the scrub bar lies. Each side of the cut is put on different layers.

Jim

Let me step back and temper my original response. (It was not my intent for my sleep-deprived ramblings to sound negative. I was just frustrated that I could not install a trial for something I was...
