    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);
