c’mon y’all… he’s asking a pretty simple, basic question dealing with the idea of hourly rates. Don’t waste posts bickering about what you do in your life, and questioning how he living his. He’s a full time student… do you think he’s thinking about daily rates?!
Geez… one person actually answered the question, and thank you Rob Jackson because I’m doing my first shoot next Friday of a corporate speaker’s keynote and I was wondering this very same thing. I’m not anywhere close to a full-time or even part-time videographer, but was asked if I would do it because of all the other video and graphics work I do for my company. This will be on the side and I had to come up with a rate, so thanks again for giving me at least a ballpark to work with.
Carry on…

Thanks for the head’s up on this one. I, too, just got the prompt to upgrade and I canceled out of it. What a mess that would’ve been.

Well, quite simply, if you have PP and AE open at the same time, you can just drag a comp from AE and drop it right in the Project panel in PP. Done!

You can achieve basically the same results (video quality-wise) going either route. I think it depends on a few things:
Which program(s) are you most fluent at?
If you know Flash well enough to build the whole thing there, then you’ll have a great looking final result with a small file size.
If you know AE and PP better and can get it done there with less of a learning curve or whatever, then go that route.The only thing you’ll be missing is any interactivity that Flash provides. But since this will just be something to watch and not play with, then AE and PP can do it.

I agree with Perry. If the final playback will be on a TV, it may look fine on it, yet look messed up on a standard computer monitor. Give it a test run to see…

Simply render from PP, that’s part of the beauty of Dynamic Link!

Thanks so much for getting back, Thomas.
I’ve done more research, and I think I’ve found a device that I can use for this type of scenario and it’s relatively cheap:
I have another question though. On the following diagram, it shows a connection for a Dry Contact Switch. I guess this is a remote switch connection, but where can I buy a very basic one of these remote switchers that will work with this model?
Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks a ton! That tutorial gave me exactly the info I needed to help clear things up. Thanks again!

Incredibly helpful! Thanks!

Oh, I created the line in Illustrator so I could zoom right in on it without losing crispness (with the continually rasterize setting AE).
I drew up the curvy line, then in AE, converted that layer to 3D and set the X Orientation to 273
