I have also noticed in CS6, that when digitising from a Betacam deck, there is a one frame offset as well.

I digitised a picture that started at 00:02:00:00 and when in Premiere, the picture actually starts at 00:02:00:01 – a little disconcerting!

I have just done a test to check your response.

I can replicate the bug this side on any PAL project. Both 4×3 and 1080i have issues in PAL, but the same formats in NTSC do not show the issue.

For anyone working in PAL-land, there is a workaround until it is resolved. Create the sequence longer than you need it to be, making sure that the animation continues past where you need it to be. The longer you make the sequence, the later the issue appears.

Well – congrats to you Edward!!

Thanks for the response and email. Hopefully we can get this sorted out.

Another week of no feedback has passed. I am disappointed at your lack of response Zaxwerks!

[Clive Smith]

This is it! Thanks so much Eric for all your help.

I cold have sworn it was a repeater function and having said that, I am sure that it could be done with a repeater… just need to figure out how to rotate around its’ own anchor point!

Thank you again!

[Clive Smith]

Thanks for the help Eric. I will try your expression.

What I wanted to do, was start the shapes’ opacity at 0%, then keyframe to 100 and then cycle the whole lot. This was, I would have a rotating clock of sorts.

I know that there is a tutorial here somewhere, but I am darned if I can find it.

I should have put up an image in the first place, sorry! I created this in PS.

To do this in AE, I created a shape layer and put a rectangle in it. I set the anchor point below the rectangle and then added a repeater.

I cannot figure out how to create this with just a repeater. All the rotate options don’t repeat the shape around the anchor point.

What am I doing wrong here?

[Clive Smith]

I have still not received any feedback from the project that I was asked to email you, which was one week ago today.

I have totally blown my deadline and have had to use an alternate way of getting this done, causing me to have wasted my money on buying your product.

Hi Zax

I have sent you a test project to indicate the issue.

[Clive Smith]

Thank you so much for the help.

I had not thought about this work flow and tried it out. It is much easier doing a background this way.

I still have issues with it stopping animation before the end of the sequence, though.

Here’s what I did:
I am working PAL, so created created a new sequence of 976 frames at 25fps – 720×576. To this, I added a comp sized solid and put the effect on it.

I then added a comp sized image (for the background) and added this to the comp and turned off its’ visibility. I then set the “color from” to the background image in the plugin. I resized as I wanted it.

Of the 976 frames of the sequence, it only animates up to frame 816.

Is this a glitch, or am I doing something wrong?
