You should be able to render the animation as a quicktime with alpha. This will leave a transparent channel where you have not put anything. Another possibility is that you could do a PICT sequence. This also supports alpha channels. When you import the file you will likely have to tell premiere to look for the alpha.

you might have to be more specific in your explanation. “I can only get a solid background”. Are you making the file a PDS file so that it has the alpha? What is your image sixe in comaprison to the screen size?
Yes! You can make the lower thirds in Photoshop but I usually make them completely in After Effects. These days, if you can do it in photoshop, you can probably do it in AE. Also, After effects has lots of cool plugins that just can’t be duplicated in photoshop without lots and lots of work.

go to the top of the columns and right click. Columns>parent

It shouldn’t be that it is a straight input because the level isn’t nearly that bright on the actual tape.

The 2 Gig file size is a residue sometimes of older operating systems but if you use the file sequences, it fixes that problem. However, as far as the file size fitting on disk. If he makes a DVD, it will be compressing the video any ways. I have had 10 gig files that were less than 2 minutes long and 2 minutes will definately fit on a DVD.

O.K., I have never used FCP so I am not really sure about that. But, I do know that you can import the sequence into AVID and burn the DVD from there. I also frequently use Sony DVD Architect and it will support importing sequences and then adding the audio. I hope this helps.

Try exporting as a sequence and then exporting the audio as a seperate file. This is helpful for several reasons. It fixex the large file problem, multiple machines can help render the project, and if it crashes part of the way through, you do not have to start over from the beginning.

This is simple. SImply save the project as normal. When you open the second one, go to File>import and bring it in. Then just drag it itno the comp.

O.K., that works great. Luckily with DV, the files aren’t too big so it transfers fine over the network. However, is there a way that I can get the other avids on the network to see a project that I made on my computer?
