Sounds like you’ve done everything right…
Effects>Video Filters>Paul Crisp
…If you figure it out, let us know!
Good luck…
And there they are, in all their 32 and 64 point glory. Funny I used FCP for about quite a while yesterday and didn’t notice the “paulcrisp” folder. Many thanks.

Thanks,
I had actually already looked there. I have doubts as to if even really installed, even though they are both sitting in the Plugin folder (“32 Point Matte.3” and “64 Point Matte.3”. Any guesses on what’s going on or what a proper instillation would be?

Arnie,
Sorry it took a while to post again — didn’t see your response.
You said to “try setting your motion project settings to 16 or 32 bit color space.”
So you’ve tried this, and this preserves super white?

“On Vista 64 all cores are used for all tasks.”
Um, thats just a plain faster system than FCP — as in two to four times faster. Thanks.
Anyone know the answers to the other questions?

Kevin,
Thanks for the thorough response. I appreciate your time.

“…There is the Garbage Mattes, 4 and 8 point. But then Paul Crisp made 32 and 64 point ones (Google them).”Thanks.

“…I use mattes made in photoshop on various projects to add an additional element (GFX) to a certain area of the screen for Text.
Place the matte on V-2 / A copy of the clip on V-3 / Add the Composite Mode – Travel Matte Luma to the clip on V-3 / Add your effects to either the clip on V-1 OR the clip on V-3 for the look you want.”I appreciate the detailed response. I’ll give it a try.

“…I recently did some intensive work on three commercials at home on the laptop, and yes it did take longer to do things than on the big tower in the office, but it certainly coped adequately”Thanks. Were you using HD footage?
[Kevin Camp]
“…having 3.5gb of ram per core and enabling multiprocessing on a mac with slower processors may outperform a mac with faster processors and only 1-2gb of ram per core.”So a 4 core 2.8 GHz with 16 GB RAM might very well outperform an 8 core 2.8 GHz with 8 GB RAM (with AE CS4)? Interesting.
“…for hd projects and only 4gb of ram, you may be better off disabling the ‘render multiple frames simultaneously’ option…”
OK. Will do.
“…i don’t know how many cores are available on your mbp, but, if you wanted to enable multi-processing, i would use more than 2 cores or you’ll risk starving the processors and reducing performance…”
It is a 2 core, so I can’t use more than 2. What do you suggest I do here? Seems like if I use both my cores the system might become unstable (?).
Is my MBP enough to even work with HD footage?
Thanks,

Thanks Adam.
I wonder why the tutorial said this. Chad Perkins did mention that CS4 can handle much more RAM than CS3, and suggested maxing out the computer’s RAM.
With AE CS4, would the people here say its more the RAM or the CPU that makes AE start to run really smoothly (or to put it another way, not enough RAM or not enough CPU that starts to make it choke)?
For example, what might run smoother with AE CS4: a 2.8 GHz quad core with 4 GB of RAM, or a 2.8 GHz duel core with 8GB? Or another example: a 2.8 Ghz four core with 16 GB of RAM vs. an eight core 2.8 GHz with 8 Gb of RAM?

Jason,
I didn’t get an e-mail from this thread so I just saw your reply. Thanks. So FCP is out for this kind of thing, hugh?
For the project I’m working on, I want the time changes to start/stop exactly on on certain beats beats of the music track. Is Motion precise enough to do this?

Michael,
Thanks. I found a way to make it work. Turns out, I needed to uncheck “Remove Advanced Pulldown…” for my consumer cam., or it started repeating frames, even with using Compressor for telecine removal. After this, it worked fine after roundtripping to Compressor.
Looks like the the new version of the HV20/HV30, the HV40 has native 24P. Perhaps Canon’s next consumer AVCHD cam will have it as well…
