Photo Jpeg Compression–black screen
I have HDV footage and transfered it to photo jpeg. When I put the footage in the timeline in AE I can see the footage , on ram preview I can not see the footage the screen goes black. In the same timeline as a test I drop DVCPRO HD footage and the footage is good on preview is this normal? if not how can i fix?

Just did a render in AE and the footage plays choppy in FCP when using photo jpeg 1440×1080 compression from AE, I get lots of errors in final cut about drop frames.

Dave, just checked the footage and the file was the right one, any suggestions? is this a normal thing to use footage in AE with photo jpeg compression?

Dave, the timeline and the codec match, still getting playback errors. My drives are lacie @ 7200 rpm with a powermac g5 quad. Is there anything else I can check?

Would you think its a drive? or i can’t think of any settings. Let me know what you think. Thank you.
What kind of drives do you have? What kind should I look into?

to get the fastest throughput from that drive, you’d need to be connected via the esata interface. to do that you’d likely need a esata pci host adapter (or pcmcia card if you have a laptop). otherwise you’re using interfaces that probably can’t handle the data rate of photo-jpeg.
dvcprohd will work with firewire800, and would be a good option for you. it is better than the hdv footage that you have, plays nice with both after effects and fcp and will play/record smoothly using firewire800.
