Okay, for some reason I shut down AE, restarted it, and now it works! NOW, is there any way to make them not be so spastic? 🙂

Thanks Dan. I tried adding that expression to the Slider Control before I posted my question, but when I played it back, it didn’t work.
As for timing, my limited knowledge of expressions leads me to believe that adding a wiggle would work.
So, basically, dots 8-12 would appear on and off like flashing to the beat of music…like an LED meter on a stereo.
How far off am I from realizing this agenda?

AE doesn’t utilize CUDA except for Ray Traced stuff. Check out Octane Render. They are working on a render plugin for AE that will use your CUDA card in rendering (not sure when it will come out, but definitely something to keep your eye on.

Good insight, Bill. I asked them for a budget and they wanted to see what I’d price at first. So, I went for broke and bid it at $450k with the ability to complete the project in 18 months. Their response was that this was what they anticipated it would be and they want to start drawing up a contract. But, until I have that contract in hand, I’m not going to start counting my eggs before they hatch. I am pretty shocked that they went for my proposal, which makes me wonder if I could have bid higher. Oh well, we’ll see what happens.

Bill,
Your idea of $400,000 for the entire package is not far from what I had in mind. I was in the $250k-$300k, but the more I consider all that I need to make this really work, $400k is a more realistic ballpark. I’ll see if I can get them to give me their budget and see if we’re even close to each other before I waste my time putting together a proposal that has no chance.

Mark,
Thank you for your thorough response. The training videos are safety videos for a chemical company and will require actors/actresses demonstrating things and actions, but no speaking. All of the speaking will be done by a “host” in front of a green screen who will also just provide a voice while the action takes place on screen. However, your response did trigger another thought that I had not considered…insurance…especially with these videos that are demonstrating safety. And possibly, hiring a certified OSHA inspector to be on set to ensure that what we are filming is legal. Your thought of $2,500 per film is about what I was thinking on the low end. In fact, with the added insurance and safety requirements I need in place to protect my own interested, I’m thinking I need to be in the $3,000-$4,000 per video ballpark.
I really appreciate your reply, and if anything else comes to mind now that I’ve given more details, please let me know.

Nevermind…I found the expression here on Creative Cow. My apologies for posting without digging a little deeper.

Hey Chris. I did that and it exported with the pixellation.

Thanks Ted. These are all great ideas that I hadn’t thought of before.
