[Kurt Larson] “What about a .XML? I know it’s mostly used for final cut, but will it take care of the transition problem?”
Not sure about XML implementation in PPro, but I once used this to export cuts from Vegas to AE and everything worked like a charm, including transitions (though in my case those were limited to fades in/out). I also recall that I read somewhere on the docs that XML only supports linear interpolation (this may mean that some complex animated transitions may not transfer properly).
On the other hand, its strange to hear that CC tools like curves do not work, as it’s pretty much common workflow to color correct and grade in AE and then send things back to PPro. Make sure you have same version of the both pieces of software. Another reason may be that PPro is working in native YUV color space while AE is pure RGB application which may cause slight shifts in chroma and luma levels.

[Matt Trubac] “I had playback resolution set to 1/4. It seems if I set it to full and replace the comps from the project window things work as expected. Drop the playback resolution to 1/4 and it comes back.”
Hello Matt,
What you describe looks like a mess with cached clips. When you change resolution, PPro updates its cache and when you set the resolution back to 1/4, PPro returns to clips previously cached (and where the mess is). Try purging all cached data. If that doesn’t help, you may want to make sure if indeed something is wrong with your clips or maybe it’s just a viewing problem. To do that, try render out a small portion of a ‘problematic’ clips/sequence out of PPro to see what’s actually in there.

Hi Robert,
Not sure how you rigged the whole thing. Most probably, you did this through a null as the tracking data carrier and then parented your blood effect to it? If so, try copy-paste of null’s position values into those of the blood mov (if it shifts its position right away, no worries: you can select all the keyframes and with them selected put the blood footage back in place — all the other keyframes will follow). In short, the idea is to get rid of parenting when exporting to PPro.
With that said, you can alway render out of AE and then use the output in PPro, taking into account that the footage in question is relatively short, I believe. -
[Kurt Larson] “is there a script for dynamic link that lets me select all and comp them yet keep them seperate? if i have 200 cuts… i dont want 200 compositions in after effects…”
Kurt, have you tried copy-paste? You will still have problems with transitions, but all your cuts will be in the same AE comp, if that’s what you’re after.

Oh…sorry, I thought you was talking of expressions…those also use Java language, don’t they?

Dave, you may also want to make sure that the output levels of your video are set to 0-255 and not to 16-235 (the so called ‘Broadcast Safe’).

Hi Glen,
Yes, you have to redo everything in Audition. That’s why it’s advisable to only send everything to Audition once you have your sequence finalised.

In Mocha you can create masks for talents and exclude them from calculating the proper movement of the LCD mask.

Hello Darin,
That’s a task for a planar tracker like Mocha. Have you tried Mocha for AE? You can make an animated mask using this software and that’s what you need to isolate the LCD for different color correction.

Hello Conor,
As far as I understand your question, the goal is to change z position only, leaving x and y dimensions as they are? If so, solution is simple:
x = value;
y = value;
z = (whatever you want it to be);
[x,y,z]or simpler yet:
[value,value,z]
