Chris i said shake was a “fully expensive compositing program”. Ok so lets say i have a mattepainting and i take out my background sky. If the camera was moving i would need to use AE’s motion tracker and then aply the matte painting correct?
But Chris back to roto. My main question is that is there any other way to roto in AE than to do it manually frame by frame? I make my mask around my body lets say. I have to move to the very next frame and shift the mask to keep it around my body. IS there any way the computer would give it a go to try to track my mask around my subject automatically? Interpolation? THanks again guys -

Chris that’s what i mean. Most programs you set your mask keyframe at the begining and then at the end and wherever you want in the middle like you were saying and then the program will track(roto) the object you masked depeding on color difference and such. Being there is no way to do this means you must go frame by frame with you mask in AE. Any other programs out there that are strong roto tools that arent fully expensive compositing software packages like shake? Sillhouette?

Thanks alot guys. One more quicky. How can you set AE to track your mask? File-Interpolate?

Dave when I make a solid and put it on top of my comp cause the fire must be on top to be in front of everything then all you see is the solid color i choose. I bring the opacity down and it brings the fire down with it. I need a transparent blank layer i suppose

I hate to post back to back but if someone could please answer this for me I would greatly apreciate it.

Yes I believe the codec dvcpro works well but it changes the tone of the picture I suppose because of compression. It is also a bit softer where as animation is crsip and sharp picture. Speed of Hard drive do you mean rpm’s or the actualy mhz/ghz? I have a lacie 7200rpm d2 drive. If I install quicktime and put the movie on there i wonder if it will playback faster or am I just making this up right now.

Its terrible how they make the newer software built so they wont run smooth and you need to upgrade. When I use quicktime 6.5.2 everything ran like a gem. The file size isnt that big its an animation thats 9 seconds long and the background is a still matte painting and animated snow and fire and smoke.
