Hi,

Good point. I think you are limited to the same image on both sides in Particular. Card Dance might be the best way short of going to a full 3D program.

Hi,

Particular definitely gets my vote. I’ve done this sort of thing with Particular on a set of 10 company logos and it would be very easy to re-work for any number of playing cards. There is a step in the process that wasn’t immediately obvious, at least to me, involving how you load all the image files into Particular so if you get stuck, ask away and there are plenty of people here who can help you.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I ended up doing the export to AVI and compressing in Windows.

Also,

You might want to go to the Avid web site and download the Meridian codec if you are using one of the more recent Avid systems. Importing a Meridian animation goes much faster than importing something rendered with the Animation codec.

Hi,

This is a premultiplication error common when looking at an animation with a soft alpha channel in an editing system.

When you render the animation, in the output module, obviously you will be setting the “Channels” to RGB+Alpha. Under this, set color to “Straight – Unmatted”

The resulting animation will look horrible when viewed in Quicktime, but will mask properly in the Avid.

Hope this helps.

Hello again,

Here’s some information about the system I will be using to transfer to D5 that I forgot to include in the previous post….

Final Cut 5.0.4
Kona 2 card with kbox
Dual 2 GigHz Mac with 3 Gigs memory
OS-x 10.4.7
Quicktime 7.1.2 pro version
Fibre Channel RAID with plenty of speed.

I assume that I will be able to input normally via HD-SDI

Thanks again,

Lars

Hi,

Is it possible you are using a color profile in Photoshop that AE is ignoring? I know that I have exported digital images from Adobe Lightroom using the ProPhoto colorspace and then loaded them in Shake and Shake is either ignoring the color space or assuming a different one. It is possible that AE is doing the same thing.

Also you will want to make sure that settings that are saved with a plug in are on the remote computer too.

While using Invigorator, I discovered I had used a material that I had created on the main computer, but obviously it was not on the remote one. The object ended up rendering black.

Unfortunately not all plug ins warn you when there is missing files or information.
