In my experience DVD best 16:9 works very well. I’ve never used uncompressed before but wouldn’t that just mean that DVD studio pro would have to do the compressing upon building/formating?

Check out Aharon Rabinowitz’s tutorial “Creating an Old TV Screen”. In it, he rounds out the corners of a rectangle.

Not sure about the rendering problem but the copy is done in the order in which you select the layers. The layers are placed from top layer to bottom layer when you paste. Try selecting your layers that you are trying to copy in reverse order.

My expression skills are weak but try loopOut(style=”cycle”) after alt/option clicking on the x-axis stopwatch.
Good Luck and let me know if it worked.

Sometimes when you do a RAM preview the audio will not sync with the video, especially if you have effects applied to your layers. You could render a portion of the video and view it in realtime. However if you are playing back your ram preview and your info palet states that it is playing realtime, you may need to tweak the placement of the clip. Try selecting your clip (with the audio) and press LL. This should bring up your audio waveform for that layer. Use it to “see” your audio and slide the clip until your audio syncs.
Good Luck

You could open the precomp and make it 30 secs. in length and add an expression to the individual layers in that precomp so they loop.

Thanks for the explaination. I will take your advice and play around with the settings. Thanks for taking some of the guesswork out of it.

I would save it with my video footage. That way if you ever go back to that project all the items are together. Keeping a back-up of your projects is also a good idea. (on CD or other drive) since footage is easier to reimport than recreating a lost project that has many hours of work put into it.

The way I have found to do this is to set your render to animation and change the depth in the Output Module Settings to ‘Millions of Colors+’. Unfortunately this will require you to rerender the movie once it’s in FCP, but I don’t know of any other solution.

Have you tried using the stretch function when you expand the In/Out/Duration/Stretch pane on the lower left of the timeline window? Stretch your clip to 200% for a 50% reduction in speed. (This works well if the clip does not have alot of motion but looks pretty good. Of course timewarp may give you more control)
