2 different codecs. One of them was far superior to the other on my system. I can’t remember which one, but try it. Export 2 short little movies and it will be apparent right away which one is better.

I just bought the 100 and PPro 2.0 (after having a Canopus DV Raptor RT-2 and PPro 1.0) and the thing rocks. The drivers are very solid. Kudos to the gang at Matrox.

Matrox RT X100. I had a Canopus DV Raptor RT-2 and had problems with it. Upgraded to PPro 2.0 and also bought the Matrox and it works like a charm!

Most quality video cards will allow you to do this. As long as they have a monitor out, or even firewire out (to a Deck with outs to a monitor). If you can view your footage in your video editor on an external monitor, you should be able to find a way to do it in After Effects. I personally had to call Canopus directly and get a special plugin to add to the After Effects folder to make it work for me. There is an option you have to make sure is checked in the preferences to enable the monitor as well. I’d tell you exactly what it is but I’m rendering right now. 🙂

The solution was so obvious I should have known better. The texture layer was imported at a later point in time than the beginning. The texture has to actually be under the layer at any given point in time in order to be used.

I turned it off in the composition window, but it still looked the same. Thanks for the post! I hope to figure this one out! 🙂

Ok, it’s got something to do with the camera. When I move the camera, the textures disappear, but when the camera stops, they are there. HELP!!!!!!
Thank you!

3ccd Cameras are almost always better quality, but the quality is not really with artifacts like you would find with bad encoding/decoding. It is more with color reproduction and overall picture quality than anything else. Chip size also makes a difference (the larger the better). So yes and no. I’ve had a chance to use everything from 1-inch beta sp cameras to Canon XLs to my current Sony DCR-VX2100, and I would never go to back to a single ccd in any form. BTW, for a great overall camera I HIGHLY recommend the Sony!

I figured out the “jittery” thing. I just wasn’t rendering the lower field first. (I noticed it when I looked at a single frame).
That STILL does not give me any indication of why the footage is getting slightly washed out, though. The saturation, especially with black, doesn’t seem to be as good. PLEASE help if you can!

Where do we get the ProCoder? We only have MainConcept MPEG-4 option when we export to DVD.
