It worked!

Putting the comp in a PAL/Widescreen comp and rendering out with lower field first worked.

I’m on a deadline and this was killing me.

I’m so happy – Thank you very much.

Final distribution is going to be SD DVD. That part of it isn’t a problem.

I just wanted to assemble a bunch of clips on my timeline and render it out as an AVI and don’t want to lose quality in the process.

Thanks everyone for your help 🙂

[John Rofrano] “To answer your original question “How do I work out video dimentions for web streaming?” you must multiply the horizontal dimension of the video by the PAR. For PAL Widescreen that would be 720 * 1.4568 or ~1049 making PAL Widescreen 1049×576 at PAR 1.0. If you want your web video to be half resolution you should use 524×288.”

Ok I understand now – Also thanks for your help everyone.

Firstly what do you mean by ‘~1049’ above?

Also

Lets say I wanted a custom size what do I do then? Lets assume I want to fit within an approximate area of a web page how would i work that one out?

I’m assuming I would have to start with a custom horizontal size, so lets say that’s 450 or something like that, how would I work out the verticle size?

It’s cool I fixed it!.

The solution was in the Plugin – Setting a custom output range.

Thanks again for your help.

temp = thisComp.layer("Black Solid 1").effect("Sound Keys")("Output 1");
[temp, temp]

Thanks Filip for your response,

What you’re saying is kind of working but I can’t seem to get it to work with Trapcode Sound Keys.

I’m linking the sound keys layer to the footage layer ‘scale’ and sound keys is doing it’s job by scaling on the beat but not the way I want it to.

I think I need sound keys support/help. After I link the sound keys layer to my scale parameter,it generates the following expression that I have posted above.

What I want is scale 110% then 100%, then 110% then 100% on each music beat controlled by the sound keys layer.

By the look of the expression I posted, does it seem that I need to edit the expression below to get what I want or with sound keys?

Where would you say the answer lies, the scale layer or sound keys?

[Filip Vandueren] “you could try remapping the 0-100% values of the keyframes to 100-120 like this:

(add to the allready keyframed scale):

s=value[0];
linear(s,0,100,100,120);
[s,s];

If you just want to cycle the values between 100 and 120 every 15 frames, try this:

t=timeToFrames(time);

t=t%45; // this will loop every 45 frames:

if (t<15) {
s=ease(t,0,15,100,120);
} else if (t<30) {
s=120;
} else {
s=ease(t,30,45,120,100);
}
[s,s];

Those eases can be switched with linear or easeIn or easeOut"

Thanks..

But why is there an option called ‘nest’ in the menu?

What’s the difference between pressing the ‘nest’ button or just putting files in a sequence and then dragging that into a new sequence as you mention below?

Is the option ‘nest’ just a quick way of putting a sequence in the project window to use within another sequence?

-Frankie

[Ann Bens] “nesting sequences means using a sequence as a clip within another sequence.
This is accomplished by eihter dragging the sequence from the project panel or source monitor into the track of the sequence ore using any of the other methods for adding a clip.”

[Frank Manno]

Thanks Mike and everyone.

I’m starting to like Premiere. There always seems to be a way to do something 🙂

Somethign else I discovered, if I have keyframes on a clip and want to do a slip edit on that clip, it also moves the keyframes. (In my case the keyframes are performing a fade to black).

Is it possible to do a slip edit without the keyframes moving?

I said:
>1. Other than being able to change speed over time with keyframes, >is there any difference in changing clip speed using time remapping >or by changing clip speed/duration by CTRL-R?

You said
>1.Time Remapping wont ripple trailing clips or change audio.

Hi Mike thanks for your help!

What’s the fastest way to apply a 50% time remap to a clip? Be it a shortcut or whatever? I need to fit this in as part of my workflow because it’s something I do a lot of: i.e, drop clip on timeline, add 50% slomo.
