    Image brought into Video template jagged edges

    Hello, I have a scanned image at 300dpi that looks good when I open its .psd. I create a new NTSC D1 video preset... I've tried it both at 72 dpi and 300dpi. Anytime I bring the image into my video comp, the edges are a bit jagged... it's like it loses its anti-aliasing or something (this...

    How to Resize for rendering and lower resolution?

    Hi all, This may be a dumb question... I have been working on a project in After Effects CS3 with tons of photoshop layers in a high resolution (probably higher than I should be working). I figured when I was ready to render, I could precompose everything into one layer, change my composition...

    Problem Importing .psd Layers suddenly

    Hey all, I'm about to tear my hair out on this... I can't figure out what the problem is. I scanned in drawings in photoshop, masked off separate layers to animate, saved as .psd's, then imported the layers as compositions in AE CS3. Everything has been working great. Well, I did a little work...

    The Dependant Ones- short film

    Hey guys, This is a short film we shot a few months back and I'm in the final stages of finishing it up. There is a couple of Boards of Canada tracks right now, but that is only to convey mood as example for the guy creating the music tracks... so that won't be in there in the end. Anyways...

    Pixel ratio problem? Sequence settings help

    I have a weird question and probably a kind of stupid one. I spent tons of hours editing in FCP 6, then decided to create a new sequence to try my hand at a different edit. I forgot to set the new sequence to 720HD24p, so my sequence was set up for NTSC... I couldn't figure out why some clips...

    Clip stretched importing back into FCP from post work

    Hey all, I wonder if someone can help me here. I exported a 720 lossless clip from FCP to send to After Effects for post work. In AE, composition is set up for 960 x 720 frame. Pixel Aspect ratio is DVCPRO HD 720 1.33, 16:9 aspect. I export clip after post from AE to .mov... aspect still set at...

    P2 Log Pro Question

    Hey all, Bought P2 Log pro the other day because FCP wouldn't import half of my files. I don't mind P2 Log, but I'm going through multiple steps I'm assuming I probably don't need to. Instead of saving a new volume with the files I export, is there a way to just export an .mxf to a quicktime...

    Problem with Log and Transfer in Final Cut Pro 6

    I have been using Log and Transfer to log my p2 files we shot this past weekend on the HVX. After I have the ones logged I want to keep, I select those clips and drag them to my bin. The problem is, only about half of those clips show up in the bin. The ones that don't show up, I can watch them...

    Anyone want a job?

    I need one scene created for a short film. It's fairly involved, but I'd pay for it. I need a 16:9 scene created, shot from high in the air, angled down, on a house. The house needs to look hidden, behind some dead trees, or destructed buildings or something. It is daytime, but the sky is a sick...

    Need background for keying

    Hey all, I have a question... I am planning on shooting a short this upcoming semester for school. I am planning on keying out the background behind a front porch. The film is set in the distant future, and I want the background to be barren, dead, rocky, etc. No real greenery or life. Maybe a...

    FS- DVX100B low hours, Cartoni Tripod, Brevis, etc.

    I hate to do this... but all in one day, I had my car break-down, a collection notice for medical bills, an expensive vet bill, etc. I'm a married full time student and I just have no other way of taking care of these financial obligations. So, unfortunately, I'm going to sell my gear...

    Brevis test - "The Unwired" Short

    This is a very simple, super short "faux" film I did to test out my new Brevis the day I got it. The words at the end are hard to read, but it's not that important in the end anyways. The brevis is a great tool. It could have used a hair more adjusting to better achieve edge-to-edge sharpness...

    best quality for exhibit

    I am sorry all, I can't seem to figure this one out. David, you helped me a week or two ago with a similar post, so thank you. I'm still having some issues. I'll try to make it thorough but quick: I don't know why, but Vegas 6 won't let me print to tape from my 24p sequence in the timeline...
