In other words when I pan from the feet to the head of the individual I need the background plate to go from the floor to the wall and then left and right. The question is can I do that by ONLY using Motion 4 After effects andby pablotwa - Motion Re: Keylight or Primatte? - 12 years agoThanks Strypes I'll consider getting AE thenby pablotwa - Café LA Re: Keylight or Primatte? - 12 years agoThank you to all of you who responded!!!

I used Idvd and there's huge pixelation and distortion, then I went to Lynda.com to Larry Jordan's tutorial on DVD Studio Pro and built a kick ass DVD with 4 buttons lots of stuff and it worked great on my MAC except NONE of my "normal" DVby pablotwa - DVD Studio Pro Re: Best format for Round tripping FCP to After Effects CS3 and back in HDV720/24P - 15 years agoChuck You nailed it. When I sent the quicktime clip to my effects artist he was UNABLE to import into his windows AE system (no image just a white screen). So I am trying to find a way that will allow the both of us to work on the same project together. The Project is very simple we are adding a laser beam,and some tesla effects on an HDV 720/24P file and then later a teleportation effect.by pablotwa - Café LA Re: Best format for Round tripping FCP to After Effects CS3 and back in HDV720/24P - 15 years agoAndy You mean from the FCP timeline I select a clip and export to quicktime (I choose the animation codec in quicktime) then send it to my guy in Kansas City where he works in his Window After Effects in Animation Codec and then back to me in animation codec where I re-render back on the timeline? Thank you Pabloby pablotwa - Café LA Re: Best format for Round tripping FCP to After Effects CS3 and back in HDV720/24P - 15 years ago"You'd be insane to even WANT to round trip on HDV! Get it into Animation or export an image sequence. Files will be much larger than HDV, but you need the quality for round tripping. " Thank you for the response when you say get it into animation or exporting an image sequence can you be a little more specific what format? do I use Compressor? anything you can add to make this clearby pablotwa - Café LA Best format for Round tripping FCP to After Effects CS3 and back in HDV720/24P - 15 years agoHi and thank you for reading this I am working with a Windows only (not Mac) CS3 Wizard who does my special effects for my short film.
