You’d want to use a Kona 2 or 3 or go to a house that has Teranex.

Have a wonderful day.

Mortimer,

For slideshows in FCP try using PanzoomPro from lyric.com. Or, get a copy of Fotomagico, it’s about 5 times faster than FCP’s motion tab, and all the dissolves I have done with it pass through DVDSP just fine.

Have a wonderful day.

Digital Anarchy was working on a tune plugin, but for some reason they abandoned it. You might look at Studio Artist at synthetik.com.

Have a wonderful day.

Zee,

CHV makes a really nice morph plugin for FCP. And it’s not expensive.

Have a wonderful day.

Jeff,

I think I know what’s wrong. If you are applying keyframes to your stills to move them, and then apply a transition, you will see that the keyframes are no longer at the edge or beyond of your stills. You have to manually drag the keyframes back.

One thing I’d suggest is that you get PanZoomPro from lyric.com. Buttery smooth moves and no keyframes for transitions to mess with.

Have a wonderful day.

Jeff,

You need to optimize your stills in Photoshop. Check this out:

It would be mpeg1, but I’ve never heard of getting a video on an audio CD. You’d be better off doing a DVD.

Have a wonderful day.

You can leave your sequence DV and put your Animation (millions of colors+ with alpha set to straight) graphics over it. Then you’ll have your hirez graphics later. For the best quality graphics in your screening copies, you can change the compressor to 10 bit uncomprressed (personally, I think 8 bit is fine) render that and output your movie.

Not sure about your HD questions.

Have a wonderful day.

I tried it, not very reliable. It kept shutting itself off. I took it out.

Have a wonderful day.
