Correct.

Markers going to Mpeg2 have to sit on an I-Frame… (or is it P-Frame) well, either way, it’s one in 10-15ish give or take depending on your compression.

DVDSP will find the closest I-Frame and move your marker there.

What was the render that you used out of AE?

In FCP, is there a color line above the clip? Try Option-R with the timeline selected. See if that doesn’t clear it up.

Again, though… what render did you use? I don’t have any problems with AE to FCP…

Are you referring to IMX?

Found the one I was thinking about…again by Mr. Ebberts… Dan — I’m just down the road from you… mind if I sit in your mind for a few days?

Though I think the other one is easier…

A falling leaf can be a pretty complicated simulation – sometimes they just
fall gently, sometimes they do barrel-rolls, sometimes glide back and forth, or
any combination. These expression roughly simulate the glide back and forth
variation. I tried this on a 3D solid positioned above the camera view,
oriented with Z pointing down and Y pointing in the positive Z direction
(orientation [90,0,0]).

Then I added these three expressions:

POSITION:

yVelocity = 200; //pixels per second
oscFreq = 1.5; //oscillations per second
oscDepth = 35; //oscillation depth (pixels)
drift = 25; // drift (wind?) (pixels per second: – = left, + = right)

value + [oscDepth*Math.sin(oscFreq*Math.PI*2*time) + drift *time,
yVelocity*time,0]

Z ROTATION:

seed_random(index,true);
random(360);

Y ROTATION:

oscFreq = 1.5;
maxTilt = 15; //degrees

maxTilt*Math.cos(oscFreq*Math.PI*2*time)

If you edit the parameters, you need to make sure that the oscillating
frequency is the same in both the position and y-rotation expressions (or map
it to a slider control). If you wanted to apply this to a bunch of leaves,
you’d want to introduce some randomness into the various parameters along with
a random starting phase.

Is particle playground still under simulation? Haven’t looked for that in years!! You could tie an image to those particles…

Also — here’s an interesting script that will simulate a falling paperish object:

Well — I couldn’t find the one I was looking for… but this might help you too:

Apple-R is also a render those things that need rendering at a level I’ve asked you to render…

ya — so, Check your render settings under your sequence menu. I’ll bet that it is set only to render Red Line and maybe Orange Line material. If you need it to render GREEN line stuff you can tell it to.

Good luck,

Thanks. Would be nice. I’ll wait.
