Mark,

I have not had this issue but below is a link to the setting I have had success with when making proxies for FS5 4K. This is using the ProRes 422LT codec.

Ingest Preset Proxy ProRes 422 LT for F5 (4096 X 2160) to 1024 X540 Ingest.epr

I would shoot a “plate” and use that to fill the other sides. Flip them on both sides so the same edge is matching the middle shot with the person. To make a “plate” basically shoot the same scene without the person and nothing else. Just the white background.

Not sure of the font but here are 2 websites that help you identify fonts. Hope this helps.

Yeah, Your problem may be the compl size. I have a custom DVCProHD comp setting for AE.

960 X 720
Pixel Aspect Ratio- HDV1080/DVCPro HD 720(1.33)
frame rate 59.94

Do you have deck control enabled in your preferences? If you are on “non-controllable device” the edit to tape menu item is not an option.

Russ,

Thanks for your help. I had to just manually reattach all the clips but I am about finished. Hopefully that won’t happen again.

thanks

I don’t profess to knowing the best technical details but I just finished a large DVCProHD(59.94 fps) project with good success. There was a slight color shift when re importing my AE renders. Fortunately my scenes were short enough that I could take the entire scene into AE and render. This way I didn’t have to worry about matching back into the scene.

Here are the settings I used in After Effects (Ver7).
-These settings allowed my to drop my render files into my DVCPRO HD timeline without any rendering.
-If I remember correctly you cannot make some of these changes in AE6.5 or older

Custom Comp Settings:
Width 960 Height 720
Pixel Aspect Ration: HDV 1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1:33)
Frame Rate: 59.94

Render Settings
Quality: Best
Resolution: Full
Size 960X720
Field Render: Off
Frame Rate: Use comp’s frame rate(59.94)

Output Settings
Format: Quicktime
Video Output: DVCPROHD 720p60, Spatial Quality = (100)
Stretch: NOT Checked

For creating still files in PhotoShop (CS2) I used these settings
-When working with this file in PhotoShop make sure you have have Pixel aspect Ration correction turned on under the view menu
Width 960 Height 720
Color Mode RGB / 8bit
Pixel Aspect Ration:DVCPRO HD (1:33)

I was very happy with the results of the AE(special effect) renders and didn’t feel the graphics took a hit because of the DVCPRO HD CODEC

Thanks Noah,

I am currently not at my computer but will give it a try when I get back to work Monday.

I see you mentioned that your video is 12 minutes. YouTube limits your video to 10 minutes. Here is the official wording from YouTube.

“All videos uploaded to YouTube have a 100MB file size limit. The longer the video is, the more compression will be required to fit it into that size. For that reason, most videos on YouTube are under five minutes long and there is a 10-minute length limit for all videos.”

Thanks for the help. Hopefully the re-install will work.
