Just to clarify…

you make the animated bkg in AE…in your case you can just render it out with alpha…no dynamic link necessary…

and then the editors use that element and title from the titler on the timeline

so 3 layers in ppro…

is your group on shared storage?

Hi Nicole…

not to put you off….

but take alook here:

Angelo,

How do you edit during a session?

Match back from that timeline to the source monitor?

if the aux time code could somehow be exposed as an audio track, couldn’t the new tools in cs5 be used to sync then?

Alex

The titler (for setting the text) is pretty easy and good in PPro.

Very easy to set up a template as for the type as well.

can it be so that the background of the lower 3rd is a AE animation, but the type is wiped/dissolved/revealed in PPro?

that would make it pretty simple.

Alex

[Alex Udell]

Yes….sorry should not have been so short.

But before we jump through the hoops of dynmaic link for lower thirds….

let’s talk about what, visually, you are tying to accomplish…

maybe there’s a better workflow that will provde speed and flexibility for what you are trying to accomplish.

Hiya…

I know this quite well.
There is no “publish” equivalent in the PPro AE dynamic link workflow.
