The more pixels, the easier some keying operations become because you have less color spill. I believe the EX1 also povides full HD 1080p shooting in 35MBps.
Bear in mind that this advantage can become a disadvantage if you do not know how to properly set up the chroma key environment. The advantage of the EX1 is that you can put the camera far from the subject so that the green screen itself is not in focus so imperfections in the lighting and screen disappear.
Do not that you need a good editing card to edit the EX1 material or at least a killer workstation (say, an 8-core Mac with 8GB RAM and a nice RAID array drive)
Hope this helps.

And yet all the other pro and home packages do it. I seem to recall similar excuses ragarding the JVC HDV format and yet, eventually it was supported. HDV is no small player in the video market. Adobe, shape up!

Ah, preview. One should be so lucky….
At least now capture can run in the background rather than stop when you check you e-mail during a lengthy capture.

Yes, I’ve been using a script instead:

I could go for a little weird. I’ve been getting good results with the feature so far…

What did you use to create the door?
Also, are you using Layer Styles?

Don’t really have the money for it. Anyhow I’m not sure it will help me in this project, seeing as I need to morph masks.

seedRandom(index,true);
r = thisComp.layer("Null 3").effect("randomize length")("Slider")
y = random(-r,r);
ease(time, inPoint,outPoint, [-300 + y,y, (index/2)], [300+y,y,(index/2)]) 

Below is the expression I ended up using for the Position.
Problem is the I get too much overlapping of pictures.
I’m thinking of reducing the X by some measure if it’s and odd index number and increasing it by X if it’s an even one.
Can you help me with math?

I don’t think it would work but you could use the BG Renderer script.

Personally, my projects always hog the CPU and memory so I don’t do much bg rendering.

Perhaps you should install Premiere CS3 on a PC (trial version) and do the export there… I here you can also install Windows on a Mac these days.
