Ed, Thats what I thought of after I sent the post, but haven’t had a chance to check it out. The footage is 1.33, but the solid is a background image that I’m sure is square pixels, so that may be it. Thank you very much for the reply. Lee

Jon,

Thanks for the info. I was thinking about trying to do it all in Invigorator, so I’ll give that a try & see how it works out. As I mentioned, I’m new to it so it’s taking a bit of time, but the results I’ve gotten so far are spectacular. Serge’s DVD has been a big help. I’ve already done an animation for the first word of the fly by using Reflector & it works perfect. I’ll just have to see what happens with the other words.

Thanks again,

Lee

THANK YOU!!! That was it… field render in the queue. Changed to lower fields to match the DV & it did it. This was a huge help, thank you again!

Kevin,

Ran another test w/the footage of the vertical fence posts as I panned. This was VERY visible so I thought it would be good to test w/this footage. From Premiere I exported a 4 second clip as an AVI 3 different ways. One was not altered at all, the second was de interlaced & on the third, I had no fields & de interlace selected. I imported them all into AE, did nothing to them, and exported them back out as AVIs. The original plays smooth, and the files that went into AE all have a huge stutter on the post as the camera pans.

Any other suggestions?

Kevin,

Thanks for the response. I’m viewing from an NLE (Premiere) on a Sony PVM broadcast monitor. The original file is a DV AVI that was captured from tape, so yes, it’s in fields. I’m not processing the AVI file in any way, I’m just using a motion background & a mask so the background fades into the edges of the video file. The main thing I’m having a problem with is the edge of the brim of a hat. It’s obviously a sharp line, but looks smooth in Priemere. I’ve checked the raw file, and it looks good… imported it into AE, then rendered it back out (without processing/changing it at all) and the edge of the hat looks rough. I’ll keep playng around with it, and reading more in the help files, but I thought AE should handle the DV AVI just fine if there is no processing done to it.

Thanks again!

Paul,

Thanks for the info. I have a Bravo DVD duplicator that stacks the DVDs as they are finished, so do you think the tackyness (is that even a word?) of the printed discs will propose a problem as they are stacked up in the Bravos bins?

Thanks,

Lee

Willie,

Thanks for the response. Yes, I’m using a pop filter, and I’m well below clipping levels. What is interestng is that when in edit mode, I can zoom into the exact spot the click occurs & there are no spikes in the wave form. I can use the click/pop eliminator to take care of the majority of the problem, but it does mess with the signal around it a bit. I’ll email a short clip to you when I can… I greatly appreciate the offer. I have recently installed Audition & this has been happening since the first time I’ve used it.

Thanks Noah. I have Canopus Pro Coder Express & the Main Concept encoder that came bundled with Premiere 6.5, and neither of them have an option for AC3 as far as I can tell. Just PCM, and MPEG1 & 2. Am I mising something or does that sound possible.
