Is there no “render selected” option?

I have the same problem (right align actually):
I create a text object, set it right aligned and all is well.
I then duplicate the object so that it has the same font, alignment etc., and use an expression to get the source text from the first text object. Once I do this, the new layer suddenly changes its alignment to “centered” and is uneditable!Solution/Workaround PLOX?

Yeah with such a small chip an the glass the way it is, you might be able to narrow your DOF a little but not as much as you probably want, and you’ll have to start fussing with lighting again too, and fighting shadow grain etc.
I don’t know what your filter diameter is, but I’m getting a jag35pro DOF adaptor for my HV30 and if you look on Vimeo for jag35pro, you will see tons of great DOF work using 35mm lenses on video cameras. AND you won’t have to sacrifice any light to do it.

I used to have similar problems with Quicktime down sampling displayed video, even though the actual file was full res. Have you tried get info, or playing it in something like VLC to check it?

I’m not any kind of expressions guy, but I am a programmer otherwise. Couldn’t you just calculate the number of frames difference between the start and the first “linear” frame, divide by 90 and apply a Math(sin) function? Then you would get an ease from 0 to 1 that you would then apply as a multiplier to your regular frame rate…

I think I saw Eran Stern did a tutorial on this very effect. I think it was called Digits Man I and II.

Sometimes when you’re too close to the problem it happens… 😛

Here’s the DVD menu I was talking about… nothing too fancy, but you get the idea. I just cut it into the appropriate pieces and used them as transition clips in DVD Studio Pro.

I was wondering if that was what you meant. I don’t think AE has drop zones the way Final Cut Studio does, but if all the clips you want to replace are the same size, then you can always do it like this:
Position the “drop zone” item, perhaps even label the item “DROP ZONE 1,” “DROP ZONE 2” etc. in the project tab.
Then, do your render for the first one.
Right click on the clip in the project tab and choose “replace footage > file” and pick the second item. It will replace the other one and stay in place.
Lather, rinse, repeat until done.The other way, would be to simply have the replacement clip ready in the project tab, hold dowb option (alt in Windows) and drop the clip onto the “drop zone” one. It will replace the clip, while retaining position and effects etc.
Hope I explained this well enough…

I’m not 100% sure I know what you mean by “drop zones” but if you mean places where the text can hide until it’s time to appear, it’s really just a matter of keyframes and positioning.
If you need to hide some of the titles in positions that will be inconvenient during the display of another title, you can simply move the start and end handles on the timeline so that the objects don’t exist until their cue is ready.
Here’s a nice tutorial with some fancy schmancy camera techniques that does more or less the same thing with text. You can skip past the cool texture object if you want but it’s also pretty interesting too..

By the way, since this is for a DVD, you can easily incorporate it into your DVD menus if you plan it out properly. I did a really cool 2.5D menu for someone with objects flying in and out of screen depending on what item they clicked… I’ll see if I can’t post it for you..

P.S. Really looking forward to seeing this when its done…
