Thanks for all your help Dave!

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I can set Maya to run at the same frame rate. Not sure about rendering fields or frames though, I will check that out.
So I ask for the editor to remove the pull down? When I get it, what will be different from not having the pull down removed? and when I render out from AE do I add the pull down in? If so How do I do that?
Sorry for being such an idiot, but tech things aren’t really wired in my brain.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am about to be adding a CG character to a live video plate. The video will be shot with a HD camera and at 24p. I will be doing the compositing as well, in AE. Now I am extremely new to this. What should I be doing in terms of this pull down? We will be using Bou Jou to track.
What should I be doing in Maya before I render in order for it to match the video(I mean in terms of frame rate/ field versus frames rendering).
I hope you can help a poor guy out!
Thanks

The best part was your sign off, “…. Creative Cow dot nyet….”.
Very funny and good tutorial. -
Yeah the playback device is key. As for a good output file…. I use quicktime with the animation compression but those still can be large you could try quicktime with h24 compression or Sorensen 3, but I suspect that anything HD will give you trouble. I would recommend making a dvd and then playing the ads with that, even on a laptop it should playback fine.

I’VE RAN INTO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. iT SEEMS THAT WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE 3D ATTRIBUTE AND THEN TURN IT BACK (sorry Caps lock on) to make it 3d again the settings will reset themselves. You will have to reposition the layer again to where you want it.

28 frames, that doesn’t seem long enough to do what you have described. That’s less than a second. You could try using DOF to help blur out the images that you are not focused on that might help in hiding them.

I would make the layers 3d and use a camera to do the tilt, that way when you tilt down the layers will stay where they are just the camera will move.. Just make sure that the layers are positioned properly.

Make a new comp the siz you want it to be (720×480).
Import the AI file and place it on the time line. Then animate it’s position, scale or what ever you need. You could make it a 3d layer and then animate a camera as well.

mmmm, That’s strange as any project that I make in 16 bit depth seems to work with lights. Maybe it is the files that you have imported. Have you tried a text layer to see if it shows up?
