thanks guys for all response ! Sounds not that tricky.

not sure if that is exactly hat you are asking for, but i saw something about a workflow to log and ‘capture’ from a p2 card via

> File > Log and transfer (FCP6)

[Gunnar Kordestani]

hm, the thing I was looking for I finally found myself by just clicking the “new mask” (or so) button in the bottom of the “Channels”. Then ‘save as’ tga > alphachannel > 32 bit…. (CS2 here by the way)

Now I am a little confused about what you are talking here….

thx anyway

[Gunnar Kordestani]

“32 bit” did what was missing. “premultiplied vs straight” is also good to know. thx both of you…. and see you next time.

woould this be a possible workflow to use a tga sequence in FCP as it is recommended here: https://library.creativecow.net/articles/hutton_john/ae_vtfs.php for AfterEffects?

that’s it, great!

thanks a lot !

hey Ron,

thanks for the reply. I see your point. It’s quite simple and plausible.
Seems as if I needed to find somebody willing to host and convince people to be active participants. To host it myself I am lacking the knowledge (would help a lot to be able to answer some posts here and then, right?).

Let me think about it and then I might come back to it later.

thx for the moment anyway…. Gunnar

hm, looks as if you actually have to THINK about what you are doing.
That’s terrible! but good to know nevertheless.

thanks for the information.

[Gunnar Kordestani]

it’s a 25fps comp. PAL but still square pixels.

As It will we integrated in ‘normal’ Video later it has to result out as 25fps.

If higher framerates do a better job, could it be an option to compose in (let’s say) 50fps on half speed an then render out at 25fps?

thx …Gunnar

[Gunnar Kordestani]

sounds like this is it. I will test the propositions soon.

thank you guys and see you next time
