Whew! Thanks for this. I’ve been scratching my head for a day over this. I think my 18-month-old son clicked my mouse by accident and screwed the color picker up.
It’s funny how disconcerting it is to have things not work properly in the software you live in every day!

Thanks for the response, Edward!
I never use the crashed files (I’m assuming you mean the ones AE writes when it crashes?). If I crash and have lost work, I re-do the work lost. Luckily I’ve been using AE for about 13-14 years so I save without thinking. I don’t usually lose too much work since chances are I saved a few minutes prior to a crash….
I just have whittled my issues down to the Invigorator plugin since, as I mentioned, I can remove it’s folder from the plug-in folder and work on sections of Comps that don’t use an instance of Invig Pro without any issues.
Again, I’ve never had any issues before when working on :30 spots, but these longer Comps are having issues left and right. I even did a clean re-install of the OS and all applications mid-way through the last project and it didn’t seem to help much. I figured it had something to do with my Mac Pro.
Any other ideas? Thanks for the heads-up on the CS5 compatibility problem right now. I certainly won’t upgrade until end of Summer now.
Take care,

Thanks guys. Using Match Frame (f) worked like a charm. Only 8-10 clips per spot so it was virtually painless to replace the clips in the timeline.

Open the file in QT and hit Command-J. You should see the Video Track, Audio Track(s) and a text track. The text track is the chapter info. Just delete it and you should be good to go.

Rock on.
I’m heading to the expo no matter what. I’m just blown away that I was nominated.
Time to hang out and talk shop with other podcasters!!

Yes, sorry, I posted in the News forum as well.
Seth (and Kathlyn), just for the record, my PR machine is me, sitting at my Mac Pro with my cat curled around my feet late in the evening while my pregnant wife is sound asleep upstairs.
It can seem very difficult to shout out to the world about yourself. But it’s totally OK. My first press release to the COW about The Rest of Everest got me an invitation to join the Podcasting Forum as a leader. Visit the forum, and you can tell I really enjoy being there. Whish there was more traffic, but that’s another story…(there will be, I just have to be patient).
Podcasting is a lot of work and I just want as many people to see the show as are interested. I know there are a lot more people out there that would love the show that will just never know about it. Every time I send out a press release I get new viewers and I get some wonderful emails from new audience members thanking me for putting the show together. I’m so fortunate that my little “after hours” project is touching people in some way. In some cases, profoundly.
I also cross-promote with other podcasters and that has not only been mutually successful, but a lot of fun.
Press releases can be extremely powerful tools. Don’t feel that you don’t deserve the right to have something posted. You surely do.

Hey! That closing the Preview window does the trick for me (at least when only sending one sequence over to compressor.
So far, so good!

Hmmm, I’m having the same problem. At least it seems like the same problem. I can’t export to compressor without FCP giving me the spinning beach ball. This is before submitting the batch, so no encoding is happening yet. Compressor still seems responsive, but FCP is frozen solid.
I can still add the one timeline to compressor and submit it for encoding, but I cannot go back to FCP to send another timeline to Compressor. So, easily submitting multiple sequences to compressor for a batch is not easy.
If I click around on the different windows in Compressor and then back on FCP I can get FCP to snap out of it, but then trying to export another sequnce to Compressor creates a new tab or job in Compressor.
I just want to be able to export several sequences to compressor, and submit them all as a single batch for encoding. In Compressor 1 & 2 I’d simply select all of the sequences once in Compressor and apply the same preset to them. Easy. Now Compressor 3 is giving me grief.
I’m on a Mac Pro that just arrived a week ago so it’s a clean install. I’ve got 5GB of RAM. I had exactly the same problem on my dual G5 with 4 GB of RAM before I upgraded to the Mac Pro. I’m running the recently updated versions of all programs in the Studio package. I installed everything on July 3rd so it’s all current.
Anyone else have the same problem?

Since no one has an iPhone yet, this is a bit hard to get a real answer on.
However, from what I’ve heard/seen/read, the iPhone will only play back video in the horizontal orientation (and will stay that way even if you tilt it vertically.)
Since the iPhone is an iPod, then just follow Apple’s specs for their current video iPod. I do have experience producing material for the current iPod.
Scroll down to the middle of this page for specs: https://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
Don’t edit material at the iPhone’s resolution. Edit it in the native resolution of your acquisition format. Then, after you’re finished editing, encode the material for the iPod.
Basically, you can export using QuickTime Conversion and choose the “Export to iPod” setting, or if you use a 3rd part app, then export at 640×480 for 4:3 material (which will most likely put black bars at the sides of the iPhone screen when playing back on the device’s 16:9 screen) or 640×360 for 16:9 material. Either way, the iPhone will scale the video down to match the resolution of it’s screen just like the current video iPod does.
Of course, to be absolutely sure of all/any of this, wait until June 29th or later to verify it…
I hope this info helps.
