    Oh goodness.

    Well, it’s true that the French and some enclaves of Basque prefer 24P, but i hear the Finnish are making headway in their putsch to introduce 42pi as the new standard.

    Creative Cow, maybe?

    I love magazines too but it looks like they might be going bye bye. Interwebs and all.

    But seriously, CC’s rag is pretty good good and i look forward to getting it in the snail mail.

    I haven’t received a DV in the mail in a while but they had some good features. Wonder if they’re still around…?

    Cool. I love figuring out a new tool and getting to put it to practical use.

    Unless you want the slight motion, so that it doesn’t look like a still. Then do one of the earlier suggestions.

    Going to bed…

    Aw, I really overthought that one. Just make a still from the frame and clone out the x’s and be done with it.

    Track the motion of the x’s, then attach new layers which just have the texture of the paper. You can clone the texture in AE or Photoshop, easily, since the paper has such a uniform texture.

    Heck, you may not even need to track to the motion, if there isn’t much. You could animate the layers by hand to match the movement.
    And actually, since there’s so much space around the x’s, you could make the clone layers large enough that they cover any movement.

    You could also just duplicate the main layer, draw a mask set to subtract around each x, and offset the layer below until you have blank paper showing underneath.
    Lots of ways to do it.

    Laurie, the reason I asked was that you used the term Export.
    It makes it much easier for us to diagnose a problem when the correct terminology is used.
    As you know, rendering and exporting are two completely different things in AE.

  • You need to educate yourself on the difference between raster and vector-based images.

    You can start here.

    Why are you exporting? You should be rendering.

    Looks that way in Quicktime Player, doesn’t it?
    Don’t worry, FCP knows what to do with it. Import it back into FCP and see.
