IS the Remove Grain filter only in AE 6.5 and 7?
Or am I being blind and can’t see it in my plugins at all?

Thanks Steve – I’d already been looking at Max on YouTube. Only problem is I’m still on ol’ AE v6 (shame on me…!!). So haven’t got the CC Toner which is a bit of a pain.
But I do think I’ve found a bit of a workaround… it means using three duped layers…
Layer 1 – I’ve desaturated, played with the curves and levels, and Equalized. Set to Multiply mode.
Layer 2 – Uses Channel Blur to flatten the image. Set to Add mode.
Layer 3 – Uses Pete Warden’s Vectorize plugin.I may be able to simplify it even more, but its starting to ‘head’ (haha!) in the right direction. The skin tones are definitely flattened, I just need to play more with getting the face details just right.
Thanks for the help though….. If anyone else has any even simpler ideas…. 🙂

I’ve opened up projects back from v1.2.5 with no problems.
Thats not to say there won’t be thoguh… just that I haven’t found any 😉

Word of advice working with XDCAM that I’ve just recently discovered….
Do NOT really on Autosave (not that you should be anyway). FCP and XDCAM files lose their link extremely badly…. and Media Manager can make an absolute mess of an XDCAM edit.
As I have found from working with XDCAMHD for the last month. Apart from that though, it rocks. Loving the lack of need for capturing 🙂

Huh?
How strange… I always thought a slug was completely independent of any NTSC, PAL, aspect ratio, frame size etc…
I’ve just checked myself and you’re right though. I wouldn’t worry about it. That’s the first time I’ve actually looked at the properties of a slug in 6 years of using Final Cut. It’s probably just some default properties and doesn’t mean much… its still filling the screen I’m presuming? It tells me my slug is 720×480 and I’m working on a hi def project with it filling the screen!

D’oh! Didn’t see your link to the plugin.
Maybe I should read a message all the way through properly 🙂 -
Excellent! Thanks for that Martin.
Do I remember that Digital Heaven have a plugin for setting the text at a legal size for ads? Or am I making that up?

Woah! Calm, calm, Matte…
After 10 years of working with edit suites, I had discovered that you can have different lengths of dissolves….
Jeez, bet you’re a barrel of laughs in the suite on a long session 🙂

Haha! Good point…. maybe I should see if I can get away with a VHS that I’ve been using for recording the last 3 episodes of ‘Lost’ lol

I can’t understand this fading to black thing… I’ve never seen any production fade in or fade out to black (as a technical point, rather than an editorial decision ie a dissolve at the start of a drama production or similar..)
Now, I’ve only been over to the US once. But I can’t remember every commercial fading in and out when I had the TV on…!?
