    Lol I just saw that. I would seem common sense to only click the publish on the effect, and not need to to each parameter. BUT I see how this can be helpful! Thank you so much!

    Brent, thanks so much for your time. So I assume that the FPCX version of dropshadow, won’t act the same as the Motion effect created. With the same settings in FCPX, it shows well, ( as shown in screenshot)

    ” suspect your parameters aren’t giving you the result you’re expecting. Also, you only published the effect itself, not its parameters. It would help you figure things out if you could play with the sliders in FCPX.”

    How do I do this?

    THANK YOU

    Brent thank you so much for your description! Yes it is exactly how I did it. It even shows it applied, but nothing.
    Here are a few screenshots.

  • It’s what the client uses. These videos go onto a interactive online media center. I totally agree with everything you said. They end up being so tiny quality doesn’t matter too much, as long as they don’t look pixelated. Parameters they gave me say the videos need to be: 160X120 Video=800/kbs, Audio=128kbs

    So how could I better move the process along for now? In the future should I be using different software? I just can’t spend 30 min+ rendering each clip. The keyer in Premiere isn’t as good, which is why we used AE.

  • Thanks for quick response. I am actually exporting with a background. So I have been exporting as stated earlier. Please see attached images.

    “What are the duration of thie clips, what is their frame rate, and what is the codec of the clips? It makes a difference.”

    The original durations are varied between 35 seconds to 1 minute each. I have cut them according to our needs per clip. The original files are AVCHD shot on a GH2. They are MTS files when transferred into AE. They frame rate is 23.976

    Could one have TOO many lenses? I submit that one cannot.

  • Did you ever solve this issue James? I have the same thing happening here. I do know some of them are Proxy files, but wanted to know how to just use the proxy to edit with , then link to the large raw file for the final export. Hope you can help!

    Gents, Thanks to all for your kind and quick responses. I was recording through the ninja at 4 channels of audio, and CS5.5 only recognizes 2 channel. So I flipped that back to 2 and it imports fine now 🙂

    So now the only real question I have would be : Is there a significant difference with working with pro res in FCP over PP ? Thanks again, and i’d love to show you footage once shot.

    ALSO I just tried to load the footage in PP5.5, via xdcam422 settings for the sequence. and it says file corrupted. it was captured with the atomos ninja. what am I missing?
