    how does Nattress compare to Re-vision Twixtor? Twixtor gives good results but maybe Nattress is better…

    If you go back and forth between Premiere and AE, you should use lossless compression or you’ll start geting visual artifacts that look jagged and change color. Interpret fields lower for SD-DV. AE has better raster fonts I think, plus a better deinterlacer. Lossless good outputs are TIFF, PSD, for image sequences, and animation or jpeg2000 for video. I personally use JPX, PSD or TIFF, they keep perfect, and I mean down to 3200% pixel RGB perfect encodes at 16 bpc. Targas are the safest though for multiple cpu’s and PNG’s cause gamma shifting and crashes.

    AE would be hard to edit with, so I’d go with Premiere for that. If you plan on editing the whole thing finished and then deshake, you could wind up with problems tracking if you add effects, blur, or pretty much anything that de-contrasted and/or de-sharpened your footage(add temp adjustment to increase both). AE needs that badly for an accurate track which would require another export of unmodified footage to track off of anyway,

    I would personally edit the rough cut in Premiere, leaving out the visual effects then de-shake and add special effects in AE or re-import back into Premiere again for final cut editing using SD-TV color management all the way.

    I’m sure someone can find another way to do this, but Virtualdub with FLVInputDriver.vdplugin or
    Nero-recode or Nero vision with export button all work fantastic gettin flv into nice little avi’s or mov’s.

    just use your photoshop adobe gamma control panel icon. It can create perfect color management ICC profiles so that your color correction is really correct.

    delete whole adobe cs3 folder and any presets or plugins you put in. Go to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\c345345345 or something similar and remove that. and finally download’s Microsoft’s free “Windows Install Clean Up” google that and remove AE cs3 from installshield inside it. remove AE cs3 from registry and then when you install AE again, it won’t know that you had ever installed it b4. It won’t ask to re-install, only to install. It works for me. (disclaimer implied)

    what’s your color management workspace? If you go from, for instance, low quality 8 bit DV with a sRGB monitor and have a huge workspace like wide gamut or cie, your bit depth will get smeared across the color plane. Stay within a close gamut to your initial colorspace, like SD-DVD.709 or sRGB.

    for windows
    display properties->advanced-DPI size, will change font size but leave rasters the same.

    like your videocard displays random colors and lines and you can’t read anything?
    You can try disabling opengl from windows b4 and AE b4 you change to 16bpc.

    most computer’s graphic cards have a nifty feature called DPI adjust. Right click desktop, display properties, settings, advanced, general, custom DPI. yummy.

    its true that AE will work with drag and dropped in footage, but 29.97 to 25 ain’t gonna look pretty unless you frame blend or pixel motion change the difference unless you like stutter. Frame blend is less hassle but can get soft. Pixel can get gloopy. You get to choose.
