Hey we had this problem at work awhile ago…
i forgot what the solution is…
I think maybe to do with hyperthreading…but no exactly sure.

[Josh Michnik]

or when you render it out

in the output module, click on lossless
then click the stretch.
and you can size it to whatever you want…just for a render preview.
easiest way.
you can scale it to whatever and keep the same aspect ratio

[Josh Michnik]

Do you have the continuously Raterize button on for the layer??
its the little 8 or so star shaped button on the timeline like in the switches/modes section is.

[Josh Michnik]

use either a color key…or some sort of keyer…get an alpha for that color of red…then clean it up for other reds with a garbage mask.
Then apply that clip over the original apply as a track matte.
then use hue/saturation, tint,etc. or any other effects to get to the proper color.
then now apply this over top of the original.

Probly not the best way to put it…but i’m at work right now…can’t give total step by step.

I’ve also searched the cow and couldn’t find my answer
it was more tech questions on 3d stroke

[Josh Michnik]

not sure if i understand you exactly…but maybe
just time remapping??

[Josh Michnik]

what program are you using to capture??

And whatever type of avi. your captureing to must not be readable to AE..well obviously…

and as for makin an avi lossless you can render out of ae an avi with no compression.
same way you would with a quicktime.
And if i was you …i’d capture my footage as a image sequence and then convert to a quicktime if you want.

but yes you can capture as a quicktime…in premiere.

cntl left mouse click the blue keyframe numbers on the timeline in the top left corner of the time line.

thats
hold ctrl left mouse click

and i’m guessin on a mac
apple click

[Josh Michnik]

well..your a little confused i think…
because you can have an mov that is lossless.
when you say lossless you are just saying that there is no compression on it or the compressor you are using does not lose any information.
So when you say you’re using a .mov…i’m guessin you’re puttin some compression on it. Which you should never do until the very last stage, when you want to make a web version or for other outputs.(dvd, etc.)
But you should always render everything with a lossless compression or no compression at all.

so you can use quicktimes, but when rendering out of AE…just set the compressor to “None”
thus giving you a lossless clip.

hope this helps.

Lossless..def. – will not lose any data, color, information, etc.
lossy – will lose data.etc.

The last film i did…they wanted it as a tiff sequence.
2k res.
pretty simple..same thing…just need a machine with guts.
