I experimented and it worked! I do have a further question. Since it is ideal for any film maker to have the best possible image, I noticed that PNG sequences are low in file size as opposed to a TIFF sequence. Would TIFF be best in comparison for image quality?
So when I do the export of the SGI files (which is how the animator is exporting the animation files) to adobe media encoder, what format shall I use to put them into my timeline in premiere? As of now, I used h264 and it comes out as a separate video and when laid into the timeline, it just comes out as a video track.. What output would you suggest?
The plan is for me to shoot live action, give him a low res version so he can create and comp, export the files, and I import them into premiere for the edit/final export. On his export, use the settings in the shot you just showed me?
well, I mean in the sense of making it so that it can be comped in. Backgrounds etc. I’ve seen green backgrounds, blue, black, and yet on export and when I put them in premiere to edit, it comes out like a separate video like in my original post.
My current artist is doing the art in photoshop and using after effects to animate. What setting(s) should he use to make it so that the animation is able to be comped in over live action seamlessly? We’re both rather new to this so thank you for your patience 🙂
