I just ran into a similar reply on the AE forum. I didn’t realize I was entering the realm of rotoscoping. I know what it is and haven’t ever tried it because I don’t have the time for it. I fuess if there’s nothing outside of Rotoscoping to be done, then I’ll do nothing.

Thanks

The very word (rotoscoping) conjures up the sensation of sitting in my office chair for days and nights. As you noted, it would really have to be worth a lot to do that, I’ll probably look into some other way.

Thanks for the reply, though.

Thanks, I’ll probably give that a try. Maybe I’ll post there and see what people have to say.

Hi Arnie —
Thanks for the ideas. We put together 1/2 hour shows at my job, so I mainly use editing applications, particularly Final Cut Pro. I haven’t been able to devote time to learning Motion and don’t have Shake. However I do have Adobe After Effects (vers. 6.5, they haven’t updated me in a while) and since you mentioned track mattes, I’m wondering if what you mentioned can be done in AE?

Thanks

Hi Rafael, thanks for your interest. I’ll try to send a pic, but it may be a day or two. Working on a number of things right now.

Thanks again.

Jerry, thanks for the reply.
It’s good to know the OS won’t be an issue. Ideally, I wouldn’t start the project before conforming the laptop and the G5 to make sure they’re running the same FCP versions. But that’s the issue — I can’t control when this is done, nor can I put off the finish date for this project.
So I just want to make sure do beginning steps of my project on the PowerBook, knowing that once I import those parts into the G5, they can’t be passed back to the PowerBook. I’m just trying to insure that if I start the project on the PowerBook, the G5 will upconvert the work.

Thanks.
