Well then,
I would try transcoding your footage to a codec your version of FCP can handle, then pass that workflow through AE and back. HDV is the worst codec for editing and compositing, get rid of it.

You can very easily create a moving or still starfield exactly like you want in FCP using a matte generator clip and two of the Joe’s Filters, Color Noise and levels. Just apply the color noise and set it to monochrome. dial up the noise size to taste. Use the levels filter to selectively create your starfield. Easy as pie.

Not familiar with AIC, but perhaps you should try changing the order of the filters on the clips.

Sounds like a bad wire or connection or your audio output is not set properly.

I didn’t say there was no difference, I just don’t think in matters.

Michael,
There’s no argument that can make me believe that what we’ve had to pay for Apple’s upgrades has been worth it. Sorry.
Have a wonderful day.

No Michael, this is totally flawed reasoning.
Would you be willing to give back all your billable $ that you made in the X amount of years if someone was willing to give you the $4000 that you payed in upgrades along the way?
This line of thinking doesn’t make sense. I have purchased 3 seats of FCP/FCS since FCP3 come out, as well as DVDSP1.5, So I’m sure there is changes my total cost per seat is up there but I have made more than $4000/seat/year off the software. It sounds like to make you happy Apple would need to keep adding to the full retail price of the software to cover all past upgrades. That is just soar grapes.A person buys FCStudio3 for $999. Off they go and have the same competitive resources I have, only this cost me $5,000. What am I, a charity for the guy who just paid $999? C’mon, we should (older users) have been getting all these versions for nothing or next to nothing, as we paid our big hit for the program way back when. How is my paying all this cash for the same product making my life better or earning me more cash?
I have two copies of FCP Studio and I bought DVDSP1.5 also, and have since paid dearly to upgrade that app too, but I really don’t think the ROI from a piece of software should be measured by what it cost you. It’s by what you do with it, how can equate the cost of a program with how much you make with it? What’s the time frame you measure that with?
The upgrades in no way added to my billable income. None of my clients ever said “Hey Chris, if you don’t have the latest FCP this job is going away.” I bought them just to try and stay current, which is a totally different need.
My clients could care less what software I’m using. All they care about is the end product.
You should be just as pissed as I am.
Have a wonderful day.

Depending on how you set it, the High pass filter does pretty much the same thing as an EQ filter, and yes, I agree on the reverb.

I use the high pass filter for this, but there are other recipes, you will get more answers.

Great question about LT, hope there’s an option.
