I have an MXO2 mini with Max here at my studio but I will be taking the timeline into a studio that uses Kona cards, yes.

My main question is do I develop the piece natively using my footage as the default? … and then center cut with the Kona?

Thanks again for helping me be clearer! Actually it suddenly gets smaller, like the text had a natural bloom to it and it suddenly got clamped down (although there are no effects on the text or group, etc.) I’ll try messing around with your suggestion though and see if that helps! Thank you!!

Thanks folks … it is the Relax Out Text Behavior

I assume it is because of the glow effect, etc that the behavior creates, I just wish that it was smart enough to know the state of the text beforehand … but I could just be completely off! I appreciate your help!

Hey Mike,

I guess I would start off first with the question of how do you WANT it displayed? What can the projector deliver? If the projector can deliver at 1280 x 720 do you want to utilize that? (Is the file going to be blown up to fill the screen anyway?) What kind of creative approach are you taking? Do you want to accentuate the 1960’s 4:3/B&W look and contrast it to the contemporary?

For me it would start at the creative and then go back to your timeline from there. For me, personally I’d rather see something shot at 720p/widescreen stay that way if the projection can exploit it. Your other footage is already dated and the audience knows that. Rezing it up to 720p/widescreen isn’t going to kill it but you could even keep that portion 4:3 (and/or even at DVcam dimensions) so you don’t lose as much rez and keep the entire frame without cropping.

Just my 2 cents, but I guess the first question is what is your creative intent for the piece.

🙂

Hans

A follow up …

I downloaded the free x264 version via MacUpdate https://www.macupdate.com/download.php/20273/x264qtcodec-1.1.0.dmg

Using the x264 generated a file much more to my liking in terms of color, yay! … the file size however is much bigger. Ah, the trade-offs.

Thanks guys.

I tried the animation export then to h.264 through compressor and still had the same problem. Animation export looked fine but h.264 through compressor messed it up again in the same way … odd.

I’ll scour through the posts for more answers and options. Thanks again for the replies!
