A way to avoid rendering After Effects material?
Hello,
I’m editing animation using FCP 4.5. The animation is output from After Effects on a PC. Currently, when I edit the animation into FCP, I have to render it and this takes up a lot of drive space. I’m wondering if there’s a way to avoid rendering within FCP. In my FCP sequence settings, QuickTime Video Settings, the Compressor is set to Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2. Does anyone know of a PC version of this codec that can be used with After Effects? Alternatively, is there something I can do in FCP to match the output from After Effects? -

Render in same codec as your Sequence. If it’s DV, render in the Apple DV Codec. If it’s headed for AJA uncompressed, render in the 8 or 10 bit Uncompressed Codec.
Not sure if you can even run the DV Codec on a Windoze maching, though.

Hello sir,
I suggest downloading the BMD codec from Blackmagic Design It is cross platform for XP and Mas OS X. Looks awesome and works with any QT based application with or without their hardware. The only but is that your drives should be fast enough to play the footage. Remmeber to intall on both machines.Email direct with any questions.
