I have used another solution that worked very well:

1) import the images as a sequence footage. Now every image lasts 1 frame.

2) Use time stretching and/or time remapping to increase the duration of some images.

You can eventually insert your sequence more than once in a composition, changing the time stretching. As stretching value, use multiple of 100%. So if you set 300%, every image will last 3 frames.

I have Lion and it does NOT support NTFS writing…

[Alberto Bedin]

Ok thank you, I will do it frame by frame. 😛

However maybe I could start from all images of the same duration (let’s say 2-3 frames each one).

How can I import a lot of images (100?) and place them in a composition in which each image lasts 2-3 frames?

Maybe can I set a default length for still images and then mass move them into a new comp?

You can define an action.

Open one of your images, go to the action panel and create a new action, then start to rec.

Resize your image to the desired format and save it. Stop the recording.

Now go to automate, batch and use the action that you’ve recorded. Choose as input your image sequence.

This is my final objective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCPkV8N9UQQ

(from min 0.56 to 1.04)

I’ve tried a wave warp for the wave effect and a venetian blinds effect in order to add small orizontal lines.

But I’ve problems creating and animating the background pattern and plus the wave warp is not giving me the same effect as in the video…

Oh, really the export to Premiere function does not export all effects from AE to Premiere? I can’t believe!

I tried your link but it doesn’t say anything about this.

Please could you give me an example of no-exporting effect?

So the best way is exporting in a lossless format? What about exporting as a tiff-sequence?

Try to change Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of your sequence to 1.2121 (16:9).

Oh, sorry I’ve just seen that there’s also an AE basic forum. In the future I’ll post there.

However thanks for the link.

Maybe moving this thread to the AE basic forum will allow me to receive an answer also to point 1) and 2)

Very useful, thank you a lot!

I’ve wrote a small expression in order to make the green rectangle (cursor) blinking (opacity):

length = 26; // frames
counter = timeToFrames() % length;

if ( counter < length/2 )
value = 0;
else
value = 100;

I have some questions:

1) Is there a way to create a loop without writing an expression? It would be useful to creare a loop of… for example… 4-5 keys.

2) How can I set up a position to follow a path (e.g. you said the mask)?

3) Where can I download free or buy good sound fx for this text?

I have just tried RPF instead of TGA and it’s really faster in AE preview. Also, as you said, I can control obj IDs from MAX and other things.

I will definetly use it in the future.

Thank you
