“Now if your working at RGB you can render to RGB import to avid as RGB, are there still unsafe colors? possibly.”
Meaning if you don’t use the cap levels effect. Just to clarify.

Okay here’s a short explaination,
If you compositing in AE with just avid 601 video, render the final video to tha avid 601(yuv) codec and then import to avid using the 601 conversion. Now if you only have RGB Graphics (pretty much anything else besides video you know is 601 or YUV) Render final video to an RGB Codec and then import into avid set as RGB. Now if you have both 601 and RGB Video, this Levels adjustment will work to correct the RGB parts to be safe within the 601 or YUV format (but you must cap only the parts you know to be RGB adding this levels adjustment to 601 footage will result in excess data loss). Then you would render to the 601 and import using the 601 to avid.

Now a side note:
Essentially if you use this Levels Cap effect on your RGB motion graphics or RGB whatever, this cap would keep the color in the 601 or YUV colospace so essentially you could render from after effects in the avid 601 codec import as the avid 601 and so long as everything was limited properly you will be good.

Now if your working at RGB you can render to RGB import to avid as RGB, are there still unsafe colors? possibly.

Here I made sort of a RGB to YUV calculator inside of Excel for those of you who want to check values basically it is an equation that converts
RGB number values to YUV number Values.

Basically it takes the RGB and uses this calculation.
Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B
U = − 0.147R − 0.289G + 0.436B
V = 0.615R − 0.515G − 0.100B

As they say its better to be safe than sorry. no pun intended.
But another analogy also comes to mind maybe not as well known…

When you cut the mold off of the end of a good piece of cheese you better believe that you’ll be throwing away some cheese that is still good, but you’d rather be safe than sorry. Now replace cheese with video and mold with dynamic range.

Alright this took some time so I think it’s only fair that I let you know that a self narrated After Effects training dvd is coming soon, it will have tons of tips and tricks and effects and 50 percent funnier jokes.

Okay i’m out.

Had the same type of problems.

Btw you can get hdv and pal “mattes” here.

Nice tutorial Aharon, Good safe method, works very well.

You make my tutorials look cheap ; )

Client: Well, lets move on we can fix that in post
Editor: This is post.
Client: oh.

[Andrew Kramer]

try it on another pc. that sounds weird I use them all day long with no problem. maybe try resetting the prefs or something.

[Andrew Kramer]

maybe try adding underscores with a file renamer.

[Andrew Kramer]

whats your naming scheme? ae can only see so many maybe try downloading a file renamer and you can change it to something shorter and sequencial.
Are the names all exactly the same, minus the number?

[Andrew Kramer]

Put it on a 23.976 timeline. Choose add to render queue. then under render option change the frame rate to 29.97 and make sure the field option is lower first and that the cadence for the 3:2 pulldown is one on the list, I usually use the first one or so. render it out and it will create the pulldown.

You could create an animation preset for each of the effects you use at the default stat then make a fold named _my effects and put them inside.

then this folder would show up at the top and work just like the effects.

[Andrew Kramer]

Click on the little wing arrow to the top right of the window and make sure the “animation presets” is checked along with the other pertinant options there.
