I just loaded a 16k TIF.
I had a map at 23k, but it did not load… -
I have 24 Gigs of ram. So I think I should make a goal upgrade to 48.
I just saw this video that was encouraging. https://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/workflow/significantly-speed-up-your-renders-from-after-effects/Another compositor said that’s the difference between “AE and Nuke”. I guess I looked for that comment.

June 9, 2010 at 6:09 pm in reply to: AE CS5 Problem writing quicktime movies to primary driveMy ‘system drive’is a 1T drive and contains all my Apps photos, files etc. Are you recommending this because of disk read and write speeds or stability issues?
Most times my AE comps are simple colour correcting of Depth blurring next to my 3D files and Edit. I find it fine to keep it all together.

Mike you were right especially in the hidden output modeule silly little tick box for forcing the de-interlacing (even when my project is 30p!) It works great! thanks

I wonder if I save out the Quicktime file using apple’s MPEG 2 codec if I might be able to get the quality there? Does any one have the codec and does it work well?
-
I just don’t understand why Premiere can’t transcode the file at the same quality as Encore. Right from the timeline!
On fine edges and types its chalk and cheeze. I do hope for someone out there to have a factor that I have overlooked.

You can delete the unused clips from the project and the drive all at once by right clicking and choosing unlink media. It will ask you to move the clips to the trash bin. then you can easily just delete the placeholder left behind in your project.

June 24, 2008 at 10:45 pm in reply to: Using 3D Z-Depth to color correct in After EffectsI think that you might be trying to create varying colour haze using a depth channel.
There is a plugin in after effects, I think its CC ramp or something that allows you to change black and white into a spectrum of colours. I would apply this to the Depth channel, then load a duplicate of the depth channel as a luma matte for the rendered image. this way the depth should be coloured. To fade the power of it you might want to duplicate the RGB as the bottom plate and fade the opacity of the depth CC ramp layer.

Hey guys, I found the problem.
I saved the animation as 720×480 DV aspect ratio pixels on a DVD as Data Files. I also included a “preview only” DVD video track for quick viewing.
Despite my lableling of the disc and the menu of the DVD, the editors thought to rip the DVD Video track as footage!
I too am a bit at a loss for words…I imported the real clips using Maintain Non Square pixels. And all the animation works great.
Thanks for your input we were all right!_B -
My editor has stepped out for a day or two. In the mean time I am finishing up the animation.
Guys I think that After effects did not save out the DV aspect ratio pixels. The resolution is right but in the composition settings Square pixels were checked. I have since used the DV preset although I will save uncompressed.
Thanks for all the input and I will post with our progress within a day or so.
