  Two short Q’s for the pros

  Posted by Stefan Kroesbacher on September 1, 2005 at 8:33 pm

  hi,

  so, number one:

  when working with hdv-files(mac) and AE- how can i get the imported QT movie to interpret as 1440/1080 at anamorphic???
  when i import the captured FCP file, it states 1920/1080 at pixel aspect of 1.33. i can work by interpreting the file to square pixels,
  but it’s visibly degraded compared to the original. i couldn’t find any field to tell the file it is 1440/1080..

  and number two:
  (maybe for dan ebberts..)
  how can i get a countdown that starts with a value at layer-in (say 200) and counts down(up) to zero at layer out,
  independent of layer length, frames etc..

  tahnx for any help!!

  kind regards

  stefan

  here’s the expression you give a text layer’s source-text property:

  
startValue=200;
endValue=0;

  counter=linear(time, thisLayer.inPoint, thisLayer.outPoint, startValue, endValue);

  Math.round(counter);
