Hi,

I tried save RAM preview. The resulting file was perfect. So what’s this all mean?

[Yes, I am certain I was watching the RAM preview and not looking at the tracking pane. And I did apply the results to the correct layer. And there were no keyframes that shouldn’t be there. Obvious, but needed to be asked.]

Thanks for the help, but I’d really like to understand what’s going on with the normal render process.

I tried .tga s. Same problem. The footage is deinterlaced.

I’ve tried rendering in Animation (lossless) and DVCPro HD 1080 60i. Same result. I’m not using Keylight in the comp. I’ll try .tga. I have purged all before rendering.

I just answered my own question. I wasn’t able to make the stroke effect in Photoshop appear in AE (If anyone knows if this is possible, please let me know.), but using the stroke command under the Edit menu does show up in AE.

Thanks,

A final word on the Tornado effect. I ended up combining elements created in Photoshop with Boris’ cylinder effect and combining this with the figures rotating in 3D with motion blur. It worked out pretty well.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts.

Thanks to everyone for thoughts.

I’ve been pursuing a similar, but slightly different approach, creating blurred shapes in Photoshop from the before and after images and using BCC’s cylinder to make them into circles. I’ve used radial blur to enhance the spinning quality. I’ve animated the various rings (long render time with the blur). I’m pre-rendereding the spinning effect to make it easier to work with the main comp.

I’m rotating the cut out figures of the man in 3D space, also using some blur along with motion blur. This will be combined with prerendered effect I mentioned above.

I’m still open to ideas. I’d certainly appreciate a sample, Darby if you don’t mind. I’ll let you know how this version comes out.

Thanks again,

Eric

Hi Elvis,

Thanks for the help. Prior to your post, I found the PI preference file, threw it out. After restarting, I had no further problems.

Thanks again,

Thanks for the help. Is there a Mac based alternative to Camtasia?
