  • editing stills in 1080

    Posted by Patrickbrooks on February 17, 2006 at 7:05 pm

    I heard that AE 7 could get the job done that i need. I need to edit a sequence of stills in 1080 that require 5x pans and zooms:

    What’s the maximum size of a still image i can edit in AE. I heard someone did an edit with stills of 80megs, i was hoping i could edit just a bit over 100megs for the stills.

    any response helpful, thanks,

    If I recall, the maximum image size is 30,000 by 30,000 pixels. But you might max out your RAM before you get there.

    So 1080i is well within AE’s capabilities. 🙂

    It would also help if AE7 would have supported 8 gigs of ram in XP x64 (which I have, and it doesnt).

    I work with some _huge_ comps that I pan-and-scan, and I still have to be mindfull of my memory usage.

    Thanks for the response.

    So are you able to handle these huge comps and render them? Do you have to do so portions at a time not to max out the RAM?

    Just wondering how to be mindful of memory useage, because i would max out the memory when trying to edit these masive stills in FCP 5.

    thanks again,

    i’ve got a dual g5 2ghz with 4 gigs of ram and i’ve topped out with a non-curable 15650 x 15650 pixel image buffer error during multi machine render to full res PSD image sequence. it turned out that it was a solid used as floor which was the offending layer and luckily it didn’t have to be that big, but i’d never dare trying to render out with an image that big or bigger. i do work in 1080i on this proj though so that might have something to do with it. i must say, i get rather confused by all those pixels sometimes. just thought i’d share this.,, 🙂 good luck and hope you sort it out , /d
