This isn’t an After Effects solution, but if you’re on Mac, there is a program called Morph Age Pro that does the job nicely, and it will keyframe morphs in video sequences.

The solution has to be a no-play solution. The problem the client has is that their DVD app goes full screen upon auto play, making them unable to find the icons on their desktop. I told them that this is an application setting, not a DVD one, but he wanted me to override and not auto play the disc. I’m going to tell him it can’t be done.

I looked high and low and read many a blog post on many forums about pixel aspect ratios and other rationalizations for the existence of these pesky black pillarbox bars, but most have not a clue about how to get around this cleanly or easily, so here’s the answer:
In the output preview box of Adobe Media Encoder, in the top left corner, there is a source scale setting. Set this to “scale to fill” and you’re done.
There you have it. No lectures or excuses, just a 3 second how-to. Enjoy!

Media Encoder: Output preview
Source scaling: stretch to fill
DONE! -
I started to read your post to try and find out how to get a 5.1 mix out of Audition and into Encore, but when I got that video I had to stop and almost pissed myself laughing…
oh yeah, what was I here for again?

It’s been working for quite some time now and is easier to install than it ever has been with a unified installer. Go to the magic lantern site and download it whenever you’re ready!!!

Thanks Eric… not the news I wanted to hear, but at least I’m a bit more informed…
I remember scenarist from way back and how powerful it was even then. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a Mac version (I shouldn’t be that surprised since Apple backed HD-DVD but you’d think outside vendors would fill the void).
I could go with a VM solution if I had to I just prefer something a bit more OS integrated… there’s also the performance hit.
I’ll have to look into the DVD Logic suite too.
(taps foot patiently waiting for Larry to chime in…)

I was sort of getting the sense that Encore wasn’t as powerful as I’d originally allowed myself to believe. It’s a bit delicate to use and positioning elements on the flowchart can be an annoying mess at best. It’s too bad, considering how powerful their media encoder is. I was looking forward to doing more with it, but if I can’t make the robust interfaces I want to, I will have to go for another application.
Any suggestions as to a good Blu-Ray authoring platform for Mac without having to run a Windows app in a VM? What’s this stuff I hear people saying about Blue Streak? As for programming, I’m as seasoned as they come – I just need to get up to speed on the tools and development environment.

Thanks Vince..
I’ve already got the AE script (Kramer rocks BTW)
I appreciate your help, and your responding so quickly.5 dings on the cowbell for this one!!

Can you at least have it render low res (fast) proxies like AE can, maybe by adjusting the settings in the AE project itself?
