Thanks Todd!
I was trying to get rid of the solid color background with a matte, had a brain fart and realized while ago that I had switched the layers of the matte (back when I did it half asleep). Working quickly whilst not yet awake can be grievous.

Thanks again for the great support on the forums, the online community for Avid and AE is really great.

I understood what you were saying 🙂

I am doing that right now. The file is 66% uploaded to YouTube, and so far there are no warning messages about aspect ratio size (fingers crossed).

Maybe this will do the trick. I’ll post the results later.

Cheers Chris!

Sorry for the lack of clarity.

When I go to import a file (by clicking in the project area,or typing command + I) it takes me to the plugins folder. I reinstalled After Effects, and it still does this. I tried saving to different folders, am well as importing files from different folders. Still, when I go to import a new file, it takes me to plugins! What gives? I never remember it doing this before.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Cheers.

Chris,

I’m just getting my head around FCP and Compressor in general, so I really appreciate the response.

I was able to convert the GF1 footage to 25 FPS, Sq pixels, at 1920×1080 as a Quicktime movie. I can “drag and drop it” into the project, plays fine. Strange thing is that I can’t use log and transfer to bring it in. Is this the normal workflow? It would seem that log and transfer would be a more “normal” way to bring it in in case media goes offline, etc.

Should I just drag and drop all of the media now that it is converted, or did I forget something wrong where log and transfer will not work properly?

Cheers,
