ooh. that sounds delicious.

Good points. That makes much more sense.

Thanks!

Actually that wasn’t it. I had tried that. The makes sense though.

What I figured out is that my export settings from final cut had changed. It was coming over 1280 x 720 with the wrong pixel aspect ratio which AE was trying to fix i think. Also I think the preset was making it 29.97 which is not how the footage was captured. I actually think that was the main problem.

My settings for export from final cut ended up being:

frame size HD 960 x 720 (16×9)
pixel aspect ratio: HD 960×720
editing timebase: 59.94
timecode rate: same as editing timebase
compressor: animation
quality: 100%

settings from AE:

interpret footage:
frame rate: 59.94
separate fields: off
pixel ration: square

comp settings:
preset HDTV 1280×720
pixel ratio: square
frame rate: 59.94

thanks!

yes sir.

[Joshua Rule]

yeah…that is what I meant…duh.

what is also interesting…just exporting a still frame from quicktime pro…it also looks chunky…so I don’t know im sure there is something I don’t know about

[Joshua Rule]

thanks I will go check out the final cut forum.

that is not what I meant. I have like 50 shape keyframes on my time line. I want to move each one of those keyframes 5 pixels up. I want to move each keyframe 5 picels up all at once rather than having to go on each keyframe and hit 5 pixels up. You can do this with thingslike position on layers but for some reason ti doesn’t work with masks.

i knew there had to be something that simple. That was perfect!

Thanks
