Can you give more specifics on how you are compressing? Render to lossless then compress w/Adobe Media Encoder is a good workflow… What codec are you using to make the file smaller? You also should consider reducing the frame size to 720P or even 480P or 360P — whatever it takes to get acceptable results.

If you have FCP installed you can still use prores. But a lot of other editors (myself included) are using DNxHD from AVID instead. It’s cross-platform and free. And it looks great.

I think they just need to install the latest free version of quicktime player. It should be able to play prores-encoded files. Or do an encode of everything with the Animation codec, or even as an image sequence (the most reliable method IMO, but you’ll have to re-encode everything). But the QT should really work, esp if you’re using AE on both machines!

“Will motion blur be rendered out if have checked the motion blur box on certain layers, but have not clicked the “enable motion blur” button at the top?
YES
I need to export an alpha channel as a .flv. When I select FLV, the option to select RGB + Alpha becomes grayed out. How do I do this?”
I have an Output Module preset called “FLC with Alpha” (AE CS 5.0, OS X). Can you find that in the Output Module presets (the drop-down box)?

If all you have is what’s built-in to AE, I’d suggest the “CC Particle World” effect. You’ll need two layers — one solid that fills the entire screen, and one CUT OUT image of a bee (cut it out in photoshop, or use masks in AE and PRECOMP it). Apply CC Particle World to the solid, then under Particle, set the Particle Type to “Textured Disc”. Again, under Particle, set the Texture to your Bee image. You should see a bunch of bees shooting out of the particle emitter. From here’s it’s just a question of tweaking your settings until you’re happy.

[Michele Poggi] “The TIFFs I then open says “24bits for channel””
Exactly! 24 bits per channel: 24 bits for the red, 24 for the green, 24 for the blue. You could even go higher than 16 bits and the 24-bit setting would be able to handle it!

I’d do 60p — 60i introduces an entirely new set of technical hoops that you don’t want to deal with.

You are interpreting your footage incorrectly. Right click on the footage in the project window, choose Interpret Footage –> Main… and change the fields setting from “lower field first” to “none”. Or maybe it’s called “progressive”, I can’t recall, but you need to tell AE that it doesn’t need to remove any fields, which effectively cuts the resolution in half.

If you are speeding it up, then 24 should be best. We’re you slowing it down you’d want as many frames per second as possible.
8 hours at 24 fps? That’s a ton of video! I suggest using time remapping and frame blending in AE, then render that out and use the render in PPro. If you want more ” blur” on your movement you might want to use Timewarp in AE, tweaking the Speed property, enabling motion blur within the filter, and tweaking Timewarp’s shutter speed until you’re happy!
