What part is so cool specifically?

I’m sorry… I misread your question… It was about how to actually get it into After Effects… I have heard some good thing about Automatic Duck.

If this were me, I would try to handle the color correction inside of Final Cut, by using the 3-way color corrector. If you don’t want to do this which will probably save you a bunch of hassle and time, After Effects does have plugins like Color Finesse, which I have never personally experienced. Also in AE, you could always use curves, levels, overlayed solids, brightness and contrast, hue/saturation, and all of those other effects in After Effects, but again, saves you a lot of time to just color correct in fcp.

Hey Chris,
Any explicit details on how I would go about getting my 864×480 QT onto DVD in DVDSP without messing up proportions, etc.? Can a DVD do square pixels? Will I have to convert my 864×480 to 720×480 or something gruesome like that?

Thanks,
Alexander Gao

heh heh…
well, way down the page there’s a post about getting the proper square pixel dimensions to properly fit an anamorphic dv composition, which is what I am usually making motion graphics for… Chris Poisson said that an 864×540 square pixel comp would match a dv composition with anamorphic pixels, I thought it would be 864×480. So, that’s why I make 864×480 comps. Not sure if I’m doing it all wrong, I certainly hope not!

Thanks for the input,
Alexander Gao

So by that do you mean something like an H.264 QT? Or Animation QT? With the animation quicktime, I’m just a little worried that the file may not play back smoothly for them.

Thanks for that tutorial link… I think I’m gonna put that concept to use in After Effects.

Huh… but isn’t dv anamorphic a 16:9 aspect ratio, and 864/480=16/9? (dv pixels are only wider than square pixels, not taller, right?)

Just curious… If 864×540 is what I’m supposed to be using for motion graphics in a dv anamorphic project, I’ve got a lot of re-working to do!

Thanks,

Why wouldn’t it be 864×480?
