Thanks to all of you. I’ll take over from here and put your advice to work. But what was that reference to a manual. “Manual?” Hmmmm…

Just kidding. I did a quick scan of the index, actually, but quickly tured to the COW. Instead of RTFM, maybe it shoud be ATFC.

Thanks!

Whoops… I should have said that I’m not an AE pro. I use it a lot but mostly for fairly straightforward stuff. Which was why I was hoping there might be a plus in that, you know, just sort of did the liquid thing! You know that line you wrote: “You can hide it if you want to.” I don’t even know what that means.

But I love your signature line! Thanks for responding.

OK… ‘fess up time:

I always render to fields but I must have hit a wrong buttom at some point and the render module got switched to frames. My mistake. You’d think I would have noticed that but I was so busy looking for other fixes that I overlooked it. Back to fields now and things seems to be going well. I haven’t given it a full test but I’m optimistic.

Thanks.

Thanks. I’m not working in 3D but your comment about checking carefuly for overlaps, etc. is a good one. Unfortunately it didn’t solve this problem.

Hi all. In answer to the question above, I am rendering fields — to the Media 100 codec. Usually works just fine. I finally dumped the problematic layer and brought in another copy of it and was able to render successfully. But I’m doing a series of these things and the same problem has cropped up on about 50% of them. Wish I could figure it out. Thanks for the thoughts.

Actually, I have been doing what you suggest — inserting the color values manually to Keylight. That does work so I can proceed with the project, yet I have some nagging doubts that make me want to get at the heart of the problem. I’ll feel safer with this project when I don’t need to do a workaround. Thanks for your response, Andrew.

OK…my silly error. I thought I had checked all the cables but there was a loose one in the back of the patch bay.

Thanks for taking the time…

Thanks for all the posts. They helped me to focus on an answer that will work for me.

Hi…Yep, that’s what I expected. As for Media 100, they’ve always had very specific requirements and limitations on processors, operating systems, peripherals, etc. for their various releases. My version won’t run on 10.3.9.

Thanks for your note.

Just realized my answer was right there in DVDA.
