Editing Content

I have gathered together all the content that I need. I need to add some cameras to my models and render different points of view. I have then had to add music to match the videos.

I have done most of my editing on After Effects but I have had some major issues. After a day of 8 hours rendering my Maya decided to be really slow. Also mental ray takes about a minute to render a single frame. After all of that, my after effects decided to malfunction on me. It would render out fine but as soon as you play back the video, the sound is ok but the video keeps breaking up and will not play smoothly.

I solved the Maya issue by turning my mac off and leaving it to cool down before making it work again. Mental ray is still slow but it understandable when it has so much to render. The issue of after effects is still there but there is nothing I can do at the moment. I will try to rerender it on a different computer to see if its the files or the computer.

I have been making the shell of my dvd on dvd studio pro. I have made different pages and made buttons to different pages and videos. I will add animations between the menus to make it a bit more interesting but this means going back into Maya which is still occupied with rendering.
