Ooohhh…might go and have a look at that..though I’ve only just bought Production Studio Premium, so I bet it’ll be a while before I can upgrade all at once. Booo!

Great stuff, thanks Dave. Like I said, I’d never really thought of not using the render queue..I’ve just always used it and assumed it is the way you are *SUPPOSSED* to render out final work. I guess it’s only really beneficial if you are setting a bunch of renders off at once and leaving them to run, or for multi-format renders.
Have I got that right?

Still not working I’m afraid…
Presumably I delete the current expression: effect(“Motion Tile”)(1)
and then copy/paste yours Mylenium?
It’s coming up with the following when I do that:
After Effects warning: Unterminated string constant Expression disabled.
Error occurre at line 1.
Comp: ‘fruity ANI w/RAMP’
Layer: 2 (‘fruity_strip.psd’)
Property: ‘Tile Center’Any ideas? Sorry to be a pain (and a totally niave expression virgin! Do you know any good books/sites I could reference to learn more about expressions btw?)
Thanks again, J.

Yeah, usually do my final preview at full res/best qual with mo blur on, so should be ok to use as final renders then? Great..time saved!!
Don’t really use Open GL to preview much at mo, but if I do I’ll be sure to do some texts to check again the RAM prevs.
Thanks Mylenium.

Quite a commonly asked question this one – search the cow for ‘vines’ and ‘growing elements’ and you should find a pretty good tute by a guy called Jayse? I think his name is. Xlr8r.com I think. That should get you started on the growing bit, then I guess you’d track them onto your footage, or grow them over still footage at a higer res so you have a bit of room to move across the images with the AE camera.
I’d be quite interested to hear ppl’s views on the tracking option though with live video – not played with tracking much in AE (not much call as our editbox is pretty good for that) I mean, I keep hearing the AE track isn’t upto much, but I’d still like to see how good you could get it with any tips…

A-ha! Found them. Thanks Richard.
Re: Some of those actions…I’ve been having a bit of a discussion on the AE forum about Broadcast colours in PAL…it seems 0-255 for chroma/luma in PAL is perfectly legal, as oppossed to 16-235 in NTSC.
Does this hold true for you aswell? What I mean is are some of those actions only really applicable for NTSC or do I have it wrong about PAL safe?
It’s just that our house legaliser (rack-mounted one made by Eyeheight Ltd.) clips all our material at 0-255 and passes them as legal, likewise on the clipper in NewTek’s VT[4]. We’ve not had anything chucked out transmission-wise in the past, so I’m curious why people are still saying 16-235 applies to both NTSC and PAL.
Guess I just need a definitive answer!
Thanks.

I mentioned something sort of related to htis last month but got no answer…
On my PC I was trying to get rid of the ‘application title-bar’ on top of my left screen, to give myself a bit of extra breathing space, but can’t work out how to get rid!?! I wasn’t there when I first installed AE7, but then all of a sudden it was there! It wasn’t before, so there must be a way.
Any ideas?
Sorry Nico, that didn’t really help your question.

Can’t you just alt/tab between the apps to release the decklink? Or try minimising using the minimise button top right of the app, instead of minimising from the quick start bar along the bottom – I find that helps with AE and Photoshop. Should work with Prem/Combustion too..not at a machine to try though.
