I still say check for overrides. Also, run the project check and make sure your end actions are set properly. While it might work in Encore, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will work once burned. I’ve been burned by that before.

Good luck. Post your results, how well it performs and such.

There are PDF to PSD converters out there that might help you here. On small PDFs, I usually open them in Photoshop, which will give me a new comp for each page. Then I just combine all of them into one file (a layer for each page) and save it out as a PSD. But, like I said, I do this with SMALL PDFs, like less than 25 pages. In your case, I don’t know… Not sure I would take the time to do that, unless they’re paying well.

Make sure you have no overrides anywhere in your project, on any menus, buttons, timelines, anything.

[Dave LaRonde] “Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m going to guess that this is one of your early forays into After Effects. If it is, you need to alter your thinking about AE.”
That would be hitting the nail square on the head. Yes, AE is new to me. I’m more of a Photoshop/Premiere guy, however I’ve quickly come to the realization that a lot of my time spent in Premier can be solved by using AE for a lot of what I’m doing (or attempting to do) in Premiere.
So yes, having just acquired AE, I’m on a steep learning curve and hopefully smooth out some of the nasty bumps in my production workflow.
Thanks for the books suggestion, I’ll look into them.

Sounds like PPro is running out of memory, which isn’t surprising at all.
You’re probably better off doing those animations in After Effects. While Premier can theoretically import a file with dimensions up to 4096x4096px, the memory consumption is just astronomical. I just went through this recently when I did a pan and zoom sample of a large mosaic image (https://www.37thexposure.com/montage.wmv). Premier (2.0 in my case) simply choked every so often, and I’m running on a Core 2 Duo with 4 GiB of RAM. I even had to slice the image up into smaller chunks (no larger than the 4kx4k limit) just so PPro could handle them. Then try to splice them back together while animating. It’s a nightmare.
After Effects on the other hand was able to accept the whole file as is, 7502x9216px, 200+ MiB, without a glitch. I’m working on a (much) larger mosaic today (1.1 GiB) and once again, AE is purring like a kitten. I wouldn’t dare try this with PPro.

Unfortunately I don’t think that will work. I have a motion background that is of, what looks like yellow sticky notes that are falling, tumbling and others that are going up. I had this crazy idea of putting a picture on each, but that means I have to be able to adjust the images frame by frame. And Basic 3D just doesn’t lend itself to the same type of fluidity that the transform + CTRL key allows in Photoshop.
I’ll have to find a different background, one that is straight forward frames type that just move on a flat plane as opposed to tumbling like this one.

[Tim Kolb] “I generated a FILE yesterday that was 425 Gigabytes.”
So Tim, exactly how do you fit that kind of file on a DVD? 🙂

Is it just me, or is there a small glitch when you hit B in the beginning? Other than that, I think it’s awesome how you did the letters and other photography. Love it.

Errr, no insult taken. As I mentioned, AE is new to me so I’m still learning. Though I’ve been using PremierePro for quite some time now, so I knew what you were referring to with the keyframes. I just didn’t realize AE was using Bezier keyframes. Once I converted to Linear everything worked. Of course, now that I know how to change it, I simply have to play more and have some more fun. 🙂
