That worked wonderfully. THANKS!

sorry, the second image should be this:

Thank you for responding so quickly.

I am having trouble implementing this though.

For reference I have named the left number LEFT and the right RIGHT. I applied this to the the arrow rotation:

and the results are similar to when I just pickwhip it. How do i get the number offset to be correct? this should be more like +65%

And then I can’t get the right number to connect at all to the left. I get this error:

[Eric Suquet]

That’s what I suspected.

H.264 isn’t a problem. It’s what I’ve suggested to them, we’ll see what happens.

Thanks for all of your help.

[Eric Suquet]

Thanks. Didn’t take notice of the “i”. I tried what you suggest to no avail.
I receive the same error in both squeeze and episode when I try to set it to 60p:

invalid video horizontal size (1920)/vertical size (1080)/ frame rate (60.00 fps) combination.

Is it a codec issue? Is there a different mpeg2 encoder that I can use?

[Eric Suquet]

It’s very odd. I just upgraded squeeze. There is a preset that SAYS 1080i60, but when I try to edit the preset it only gives 29.97 as an option.

[Eric Suquet]

I confirmed the framerate in quicktime. I also can SEE that it’s not 60 since the lines stutter. I just checked it videospec to be safe, and it also says that it’s 29.97. I know the settings were correct since the file name contains 1080i60.

My original file is also at 60.

[Eric Suquet]

Thanks for the suggestion. Followed your instructions to a t, and it still conformed it to 30fps. I’d rather not spend the money on the software even if it DID work though. My copy of sorenson is out of date, so I’m going to update it and try that. If you have any other suggestions, I would appreciate it.

[Eric Suquet]

OK so they need very high temporal resolution. Are you trying to create a Program Stream or Transport Stream, which or either?

Program stream.

I’m not sure what settings or software you’ve tried since you only make a sweeping comment about “all the software” you’ve tried. That’s not much to go on. There’s no point asking you to try software and settings you’ve already attempted but for all I know you’re not using the right settings. You really need to provide information. We don’t what software you have for example.

Software that I’ve tried:
After Effects
Adobe Media Encoder
Squeeze
Quicktime Pro
Compressor
iVideo Compressor

None of these allow me to encode with the settings that I mentioned.

A client has requested it for a large display at a trade show of some sort. It needs to be 60fps because it’s an animation that has vertical lines moving horizontally. At 30fps (regardless of codec) the lines stutter and don’t look good. I’ve inquired about them being able to use another codec, but in case they cannot, I’d love to find a way to do 60fps in mpeg2.
