Arg….

And on top of that, how do I even export as an MPEG2-DVD for HD? In the Adobe Media Encoder, I can’t seem to change it away from 720 x 480… I can change the Pixel Aspect Ratio to Widescreen, and then it fits, but still, that’s downscaling. What is the process of getting a 1920 x 1080 video onto a DVD? I have Encore 2 as well.

Thanks,

I’m pretty sure that when Vagrant said ‘gradually’ he was referring to a spatial fade, not a temporal. Keyframing the opacity wouldn’t work.

I would:

1. Precomp all layers that make up the fog
2. Make a new solid, with a black to white ramp on it.
3. Precomp the solid.
4. Use it as a Luma Matte for the fog precomp.
5. Then go in and adjust the ramp, moving the black point to the bottom of the rays, and the white to the top. You might have to adjust the colors too, changing the black to a dark grey would make the lights not COMPLETELY fade out.

That’s just what I would do.

If you do a search of the Forum on this, you’ll find all sorts of info. But in short: No. AE is 32-bit, and won’t support that much. I THINK it can only do 2.5 or 3 GB. Someone is probably gonna correct me on that one though.

I’m working with this one, and it goes great. It burns Dual layer, too. https://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1717549&CatId=0

After you have your layer stabilized, precomp it, and mask that.

I have the educational version of Production Studio, and I got the Cycore effects…

Thanks man… I mean, I bought it off iTunes too, but I can’t bring that into AE.

Hmm… I tried importing a different random WAV, and it rendered out fine… It’s just this one then. I saved this copy of the song off the internet, because I’m making this animation out of pure boredom…
Does anyone have a copy of Such Great Heights by the Postal Service they can e-mail me? Unless someone can tell me why this doesn’t work…

Thanks,

The WAV is outputted from Audition with the default settings (32-bit, I think?)… and I haven’t tried using another WAV in this project yet, I’ll jump on that right now. And other wavs usually work fine in other projects…

I’ll go see if its just this song that’s being dumb…

I tried that though… I tried completely removing the mp3 from the project, and popping in the wav, and I did a RAM Preview: Sounds fine. Rendered out: Still messed up.

Thanks for the input everyone, keep it coming…
