    Our problem is that we have to convert to DV streams so that they can be FTP’d to a central server for airplay on a digital sub-carrier of our signal. Sounds to me like I’m pooched. Even if I do manage to save the line 21 data, it is gone as soon as I convert. Thanks all

    Odd, usually when I make changes to a LiveType movie and name the replacement THE EXACT SAME thing, FCP takes the old one off line, and simply reconnects to the revised one of the same name. I

    What comes to mind first is this: Import the video into your After Effects project, assign it as a layer map and map it to a flat solid inside Invigorator. Unless I misread, this should work and keep your video inside 3d space

    Ok, add this to the mix. There are times in my editing career when “the art of the edit” is carried in the door with me. However, that “art” must be tempered by the desires of the producer. I have walked into sessions when the producer wanted all the whistles and bells I could provide. I have also walked into sessions editing single layer video with nothing but perfectly placed disolves, each and every transition visited numerous times by both myself and the producer.

    We have a wonderful enigma with which we work. We are Jackson Pollock, when asked to be…..or Normal Rockwell. But regardless of the desires of the producer, we always get to hid our little bit of ourselves in each and every piece on which we work (or should I say play)

    Here’s a third opinion…or fourth. Good audio is the absence of BAD audio. You have bad audio.

    Hm….what if you just kept the tape on which the video was shot. Archive the project, but not the media. Thats what we do. Original is better as far as we’re concerned.

    The first thing that comes to mind is that the camera in Zaxwerks can be moved anywhere while you are constructing the logo. This adds a variable to the size of the object.

    I may be over simplifying this. In Invigorator, select the area you wish to make a different color (if need be, make this a separate object in Illustrator) Click on the material tab, and select the color you want. Do this for each of the various colors you want on your logo. If you need more detailed information, let me know. You can also map a file to this face, but it would be easier just to build it using the materials tab. If I’m off base here, sorry.
