Sorry for the double post, it wouldn’t let me edit. I figured this out. The answer was the Background Eraser tool, with a huge brush size (enough to cover the entire image with one click, I set it to 2500px), Sample Once, Discontiguous, 40% tolerance, and protect foreground unchecked. Click anywhere on the gray portion and it removes it all, leaving the part I wanted intact.

I can’t really explain it more than I have, so here’s an example picture:
You see how the rounded edge from the raster image gets cut off by the live trace tool, because that rounded edge is touching the edge of the image, so the live trace tool can’t properly interpolate the path.

I wasn’t asking how to expand the bounding box in Photoshop, I said I already tried that and it didn’t work. I’m asking how to expand the bounding box in Illustrator so that the edges of the raster image don’t get cut off when I do a live trace. Currently the raster touches the edges of the image, when I live trace it, the edges get cut off and look flat.

It doesn’t ask for any key, it just comes up with the message saying that I have to install DVD Architect Pro in order to use that render format.
-
Both installations are registered, and I’ve already tried reinstalling both applications.

So Quicktime Pro (which, for the record, IS a different software,) won’t do it. Vegas is supposed to be able to, but it says I have to install DVD Architect…which I have installed. Why won’t Vegas let me do it even though I have DVD Architect installed?
-
I have Quicktime Pro, will that work? If not, is there no way to do it without having to buy another piece of software?

Won’t the footage be slowed down still by going from 30 fps to 29.97fps? I know that for short scenes it will be nigh imperceptible, but won’t the audio go out of sync eventually for longer comps? I’m only dropping 3 100ths of a frame per second, but after a few hundred frames it’ll add up, right? Some of these cutscenes are a few thousand frame, but after 100 the audio will be 3 frames ahead, after 1000 frames it’ll be a whole second ahead, that’ll cause a problem.
Also, I can not for the life of me figure out how to get 5.1 audio in Encore, but that’s a new thread.

I don’t have twixtor, unless it comes with after effects CS5. All I have to work with are the default tools available in AE.
I will try what you said though, splitting the video into layers, that sounds like it should work. Thanks.

So basically I should split the video into multiple layers where the scene cuts occur, then apply the 30p-to-23.976p to those layers? Will everything match up once it’s all done?
