thanks Floh, “you done it again!” saved the day.
I’m gettng a slight error, when I import the file to AE, (6.5), it takes most of the file, but then reads: After Effects: AEGP Plugin Media 100 XML Program Importer: Assertion Failed: lastEffectInfo = = OL at (module info not available) [0x00000000]
and the comp comes up a couple shots short of a full timeline…
any thoughts?

again, thanks

After Effects – PlugIns – Standard – Format – fpf – M100ProjectImporter

I’m not worthy….
“when I can take the pixels from your hand….”

thanks man,

I’m assuming you meant height.
and I’m truly not trying to be snarky… but I can’t make it work.
still does not come out accurately. it’s close.
try it with a digital photo… I’m starting out with a 2544 x 1696 image (72ppi). which is about a 2 x 3.
(please understand, I may be missing something really really obvious here.)
but going through your steps, even adding a “canvas size” to match 720 x 540 (or 486) …. it still isn’t the equivalent if you move the same image over to an NTSC D1 canvas and scale it down manually… then import.

And while I’ve been typing this, I may have come across the solution.
image size to 640 x (?) WITH constrain proportions checked…
then image size to 720 x (??) WITHOUT constrain proportions checked
change canvas size to 720 x 486 with a black fill.
level and color correct…
and save and import directly.

that may be it…

?

486 as width?

Floh,

I just can’t determine how to rescale the image, that results in the correct ratio for import. Which tools can you use in that batch function? I’ve been trying to use auto fit, image resize, canvas resize… but can’t get the combination right.. I still end up with a square pixel image….
sorry if I’m missing something obvious…
Like I said, I can easily slide an image into a “new” “DV” sized doc., but i’d like to batch a bunch.

thanks a bunch.
