Is the rasterize option available for each layer imported?

I know in the past I was told to keep it under as much as possible (VFX).

But for Mograph I still build at full 4K DCI res and deal with whatever they wish after.

And yes I even go full frame and assume they will blank to their liking.

It’s only when I’m compositing (VFX) that I try to get their target res.

Saves me from headaches, especially rotoscoping.

When you say export, how?
Render a ProRes 422?

HOw about using dynamic link?

I know its cumbersome.

Don’t give away 3D assets without them dealing with the purchase license.

This is the same as using music that you subscribe to.

Add up the costs of anything you purchased extra and send them the bill.

It goes the other way too. Don’t use assets clients paid for.

I’ve seen sh*t hit the fan with graphic designers and font use.

Did you check your project settings like where all the files are?

Seems to think it’s on the local drive.

Unless the footage you are transcoding is 4x the size of the drives.

What settings are you using?

Did you test using a 29.97 project in FCPX?

I don’t recall Zoom having frame rate base settings.

Been a long time using one.

I know it’s in SD MixPre6.

Agreed with your workflow and yes I have done that with other projects.

I’ve been testing the Flex demo and so far I love it.

However, I have to say the steps you suggested would have been just as rewarding but the trip would have been long.

I did something similar using Maya with vertex on polygons and then exported the outlines and matched it in AE. It was more of a fluid result but the process of converting to layers in AE was way too long to deal with.

Still a fun experience but not as easy as a plugin.

Flex has its shortcomings but that could just be lack of experience with it.

What are your composition settings? Dig into that maybe something’s different from what you have in Premiere.

I generally pick one or the other for final colour.

Ultimately I just send everything to Resolve if all fails.

So far I found this one 🙂

Going to need more info than Black Magic Box.

Which unit? Which version of Blackmagic DesktopVideo are you running?

How are you connecting to the unit?

Operating system etc….
