September 20, 2005 at 10:24 pm in reply to: Blending Modes

So… I’ve found the problem on my system…

My blending modes don’t work when Edit > Preferences > Previews > OpenGL Info > Quality is set to “faster” but the blending modes do work when Quality is set to “More Accurate”. I can effectively enable and disable my blending modes by changing this quality setting!

My OpenGL renderer is an NVIDIA GeForce PCX 5300/PCI-E/SSE2/3DNOW!.
My OS is WinXP SP2
After Effects 6.5.1 (re-installed several times)
Athlon64 2.4GHz

Please do let me know if anyone else has this problem.

Thanks,
Jack.

Hi,

I’m having this exact same problem! The blending modes in AE don’t do anything. Does anyone have a fix?!?

Thanks,
Jack

Actually… it seems the Gallery software can re-order photos by “date captured”… but if anyone knows the answer to my PhotoShop question I’ll be very thankful!

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, maybe I should upgrade to Encore 1.5. Does anyone know when the next version of Encore will be released? Even better, does anyone know when the 64-bit version of Encore will come out?

Many thanks,
Jack

Great, thanks a lot for the reply! I like nice and simply sollutions!

I guess that was a bit of a “RTFM” moment! Thanks very much for the reply.

Jack.

woops… I cut myself off!…

…I meant to say…

…What methods do you guys use to ensure that your 16:9 shows are shown as 16:9? Is it worth putting a little note on the back cover of the DVD to explain the situation to the viewer and hope they can be bothered to change their DVD player’s setup? Or put something in the menu? Or should I stop being so anal and just deal with the fact that most people really don’t care?

Thanks,
Jack

Thanks loads for the very quick reply.

Urg. What a pain.

I come from a background in print and, in comparison, video distribution has an aweful lot of slack in the system. You have so little control over the final look. I at least expected to have some say over the damn framing… sure, I’m well aware that the average consumer doesn’t know their brightness from their saturation… but at least let me frame the image! Urg urg urg. There really should be overrides available so you can encode a DVD to ONLY show in the aspect ratio it was shot for.

What methods

Jack.

June 15, 2005 at 9:09 am in reply to: Limit to the number of Cineon files AE can import?

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for your replies… I figured it out…

I was getting problems when I was selecting the DPX files by shift-clicking in the “import footage” dialogue box. But I don’t get any problems if I just select the first DPX file and then tick the “import Cineon sequence” box. AE happily imports as many DPX files as I give it.

My system seems quite happy with the files. I’ve split it into two sections – the longest is 17 minutes long (at 25fps). Of course, it can only load a few files into RAM at once but it still manages fine (by “fine” I mean it can play back the files at about 2fps!)

Thanks,
Jack
