Boris FX Silhouette crashes 50 times a day
Hello Everybody,
yesterday I subscribed to Boris FX Silhouette and now I'm on my second day working with it.
What a nightmare.
I do not read very much about the instability of the software on the internet. What is happening here? Am I the only one having these problems?
Case where the software crashes:
selecting and using the IK tool - instant crash
using the ML nodes: sooner or later crashes
using the estimate color node - crash
also a LOT of random crashes that I can not reproduce.
What is this? I need to do shitloads of rotoscoping and was hoping to get it done with this software faster.
System Specs:
Win11
Ryzen 7950X
128GB Ram
RTX4080Super +RTX3080 with latest Studio drivers
All SSD
Any help is highly appreciated

Crowds in Real Steel - anyone from DD remember how we did these?
I was at DD at the time of Real Steel, and I remember that we did all of the crowds in Nuke. I believe we shot tons of background performers, mostly individually, in front of a green screen. We had them do various crowd things - clap their hands, wave their arms, jump up out of their seats, sit back down, etc. Then we had them do wardrobe changes, and do the same thing over again. In comp, I remember that each performer was on a card that was automatically configured, likely with a script, to face camera. I also remember that we could re-light the cards to match what the lighting in the arena was doing. Does anyone remember how that worked? I recall rotoing the spotlights and using a constant color for those lights, then feeding that into some sort of a gizmo, did I get that right?

Playing with media io’s video extend to lengthen clips h
Tried media io’s video extend tool to add a few extra seconds to a short shot. The loop wasn’t perfect, but it avoided having to reshoot or freeze-frame. For simple clips where I just need more breathing room, it’s been helpful. Not expecting Sora-level scene coherency, but good enough for pacing edits.
