paste this in you 2D layers position:

this_comp.layer(“your3Dlayername”).to_comp([0,0])

maybe this;

import your footage in AE,
interpret it as 25 fps!! .
drag your footage in your comp,
add a slider control to your layer,
name the slider “Start_seconds”,
enable time remapping on the layer (sorry;-),
add the following expression in the Time Remap:

fps1=4000;
t1=effect(“Start_seconds”)(“Slider”)*fps1;
(time-inPoint)+framesToTime(t1, fps = 1.0 / thisComp.frameDuration)

So, the layer in you comp will start running at the layers inPoint in the timeline, but, the slider in that layer controls the “Real-Time” starting Point of the footage and runs it from there in slow motion.

hope this helps,

Take a look at motionscript from Dan Ebberts (bouncing ball revisited)
or,
take a look at the AE-Expressions forum and do a search for “squash”

That’s not an AE error,
it’s a problem with your video-card or drivers.

Try disabling your Open-GL plug-in and startup AE,
if it works… it’s certainly a problem with your video-card/drivers.
It means Open-GL/3D if knocking out your card.

Update your videocard-drivers,
but I think your card might be fried 🙁

All newer versions of AE will open older versions of AE.
so you can open an AE5.5 project in AEcs4, but if you save it in AEcs4, you can’t open it in AE5.5 anymore.

SDI is always printed on the back.
Component is mostly printed there or sometimes as YPbPr.

Ask the seller for more information and Type-numbering or google for manuals. There are lots of manuals and descriptions on the internet.
It’s the only way, cause lots of those seller don’t even know what a broadcast monitor is !

[Serge Marcotte] “So just to confirm: Composite, component and SDI matter if you’re outputting or capturing. For strict colour work, like what I’m doing, the results may differ slightly but it’s of no real consequence when all I want is a good skin tone.”

yep,right,
just forget composite and choose component or SDI,
and calibrate you computer monitor also as a double-check.

as you’re not capturing the video you’ll probably recieve it on Hard Disk. So I’m guessing you’re not outputting it to tape, but bouncing it to Hard Disk again.
This means your Blackmagic-card will only be used for viewing, the video-processing will stay digital on your hard-drive, previewing through Composite, component or SDI won’t change a thing.

SDI is definitely better than Component, it’s digital to component, so the noise-levels are much lower, picture is sharper, 2nd generation copies are better…
Shouldn’t you trust Component ???
It has been used in broadcast for ages so it can’t be that bad 🙂

are you buying the card/monitor just for this project ?
wich jobs will you normally do?
would you ever need SDI again?

options:
Intensity PRO + Component monitor
Decklink SDI + SDI monitor
Decklink Studio + SDI or Component monitor

wich one is more future-proof do you think ?

I don’t know if you need the SDI-in for capturing,
otherwise, the Intensity Pro has HDMI-out, Component-Out, Composite-Out and YC-Out for 349$, but no SDI.

(ALT+PAGE UP) and (ALT+PAGE DOWN)

guess you haven’t tried them all 😉
