Have you tried “File replace” in AE? just keep different copies of your Illustrator character and point AE to the file you want to use in your duplicated comp.

If time is no concern, I would create different plates for:
. the sky
. the birds
. the building (foreground and background)
. people
. the groundThen create a vitual 3D space.
I’d animate the sky and the birds (even incorporate some real birds)
Make a 3D camera move to give some depth
Add some light flares, or even recreate the lighting with some light changing slightly direction
If you have a high resolution pictures, you could also break it down into different shots to cut a montage… if you have a story;-)Good luck,

Have you tried to clean your media cache? what kind of codec are you working with? Long GOP?

Have you played your H.264 encoded file on your computer before sending it to Vimeo? do you see the same issue?
It would help if you could tell us your chosen frame rate of compositing.
Also what is the bit rate of your Vimeo 1080 HD output?David Baud

hmm… could it be a napping issue? have you checked the box Prevent App Nap in the Get info window of Resolve? might be a stretch for your problem, but who knows…

Have you tried to deleting your Resolve cache folder and recreating a new one? Last week I had some trouble with rendering my output: cleaning up my cache folder seemed to do the trick.

[Ricardo Dengo] “Resolve don’t assume most often my 50fps shots, which are converted in Premiere to 23,976 fps to do slow motion effect.”
Did you bake your conversion from Premiere? if not I would not expect to have these conversions carried over via FCP XML and recognized by Resolve. Also if you have a linear slow motion setup in Premiere (no speed ramping effect here) and you have not change your original frame rate, then Resolve should be able to recognize it.
For a test to make sure your footage codec is not the culprit in your round-trip, you could export a Premiere sequence via FCP XML including just your footage that gives you problem, with no effects applied to it. Then see if your cut is honored in Resolve.
To understand better what kind of information is carried over from Premiere to Resolve via FCP XML, please refer to the Resolve User Guide. Unlike many other companies, Resolve’s user guide is worth reading whenever you have an issue!
Good luck,

[Ricardo Dengo] “I think Davinci can’t handle mixed frame rate..”
Not true! 😉 the way Resolve works, it will honor the source frame rate of your shots in the timeline, no matter what your timeline frame rate configuration is. When you render your output, you have a choice to output single graded shots from your timeline and retain the original frame rate of these shots, or to output one single file for your timeline and Resolve will convert the shots (the ones that have a different frame rate than the timeline )to the timeline frame rate.
As far as your problem of shots not being recognized by Resolve, I believe it has nothing to do with your frame rate but most certainly is related to your footage codec. So what is your file format your are working with in Premiere?

It is better to de-interlace first and then work on your picture after. The idea is you don’t want to apply any kind of process that would affect the interlacing structure of your shot.
I use Denoiser 2 and I am happy with the result… but I hear that Neat Video is also a good option.

[Sascha Haber] “but another method is of course to disable the effects and grade the source video.
As soon as you go back to Premiere they just pop back.”Could you elaborate on this Sascha? where I am confused is how to do the round-trip back from Resolve to Premiere Pro, to have the disabled effects shots reconnected to the newly graded media? do you know if this will work with any Premiere Pro effects including speed ramping?
Thank you,
