use quicktime player pro to re-encode them uncompressed to recover them

not to be a workflow fanatic but, I believe the framerate of 23.976 to 25 should be twixtored, the video should be resized with some high end resizer plugin, and the audio time remapped to withing a 1/1000th of a frame to sync.

bending from the side like a thick rectangle could still be done without plugins. You could make 6 layers rotated and oriented into a card board box shape and parent them all to a null so just move the null like a primitive 3-d object. but you’d have some funky manipulating if you change it into an arch. the arc will make parts need to be longer so some layers would have to grow to fill up the missing space. That is why people buy invigorator, so they stay sane. but hey, we all started with AE 3.0 or something; so, is ingenuity a pasttime? hehe.

from “Just ‘upgraded’ to AE CS3 / FCP 6.0.3 and suddenly my workflow is broken.”
ugh, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but everone here has said the same thing if you search for it in the search box.
Apple has not released the DVCPRO HD codec for general QuickTime users, and especially not PC users. It’s a closed-end format that can only be read by the codec included with FCP.
Adobe and Apple used to play nice, now their dvc pro hd codecs interpret gamma differently. You need to keep same codec from output of FCP to input of AE. Some choices are Mainconcept, Canopus, Cineform, and Raylight. Unless you can hack the decoder reader, you’ll have to shell out some dough or rollback to an older FCP and AE. AE and FCP’s codecs don’t work with each other any more after the update. 🙁
one poor option is: “i noticed a gamma shift from FCP6 ProrezHQ to AE CS3 but it was fixable by an adjustment layer and tweeking the gamma to 1.24. ”

its called Avid pro with auto color correction. jmho

in AE-
duplicate layer so there’s 2 grad.jpg
top layer add channel->invert effect and mode classic color dodgefill in white spaces if you want with fill bucket tool in photoshop.
You will have a perfect splotch with a white background.

If you want it as an alpha channel go to AE keyer-> extract and change white point to 247.Now you can use it for special effects and etc!

do you mean change the color of the stroke as the car drive over it? that’s just a keyframed wipe transition layer for a new stroke color.

Maybe it looks really good. you are a monument to the success of this website. Please post 5 seconds of video on a host for us to see. I am, and the rest of us, very curious.

its not that noticeable compared to alot I’ve seen. Read the tutorial of camera through car window. It will show you how to replace reflections in glass. Remove your crew completely if you want. Another tip is roto a brighting garbage matte around your actor so he is a little brighter. That will draw the eye more to him and less from reflections. I mean, all black walking into a black room?

shadows are a problem, very true, when light strobe gets brighter, shadows get sharper and darker.
only do this technique if the shadow with flicker effect still doesn’t look right, shadow doesn’t move too much, or you don’t care about hard rotoscoping if it does.-
feather mask the shadow, duplicate keyframes from a sharp bright to a blurry darker to match the flicker. That will help sell the shot. Only you can decide it it’s worth a reshoot.
