Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Magic Bullet Question

  • Magic Bullet Question

    Posted by Mark Volzer on September 12, 2006 at 4:56 pm

    So my friends and I made an indie horror/thriller movie and we have after a year plus our distribution company has finally closed the dealer with the buyer. Only one catch left they want to see it de-interlaced. Well, luckily I have magic bullet. Unfortunately, I’ve never used it on a project of this size. I ran the bullet on the final avi of the movie (which was about 16 GB). The final movie after rendering with the bullet was 150GB. Obviously this isn’t going to fit on a dvd and is going to make encore go totally nuts if I even try to import the file much less transcode it. Any magic bullet/dvd authoring experts out there with a good idea for how I can magic bullet the movie and get it to fit on a regular dvd?
    Thanks,
    mark

    Render MPG2 out of After Effects….skip the middle man 🙂 Or, if you have the budget, get the adobe premium syudio and use the dynamic link to bring the comp into Encore (not the render but rather the project link) and let Encore do the compression for you. I use this feature a lot and really love it….better quality for sure as I am not going through multiple compressors….that said, I am not sure how you would envoke the 3:2 pulldown in Encore.
