No need to be sarcastic.

It’s obvious for several reasons that this comes out of the can and I bet all that was done is to specify the in and out image and transition time.

thanks for your answer… but like i said, I am mainly looking for the particular package or template which was used.

i need it for a very quick project and it’s way too much effort to do this by hand.

i am sure it’s a template or a preset effect of some slideshow software.

… so if anyone recognizes it, please tell me

[Marc Nibor]

sorry, one setting was wrong – it was DVCPRO HD (1.5) instead of HD Anamorphic

[Marc Nibor]

since none of the experts could come up with a solution i had to find it myself ; )

for anyone who stumbles into the same problem:
just import as usual>rightclick the clip in the project window (not in the timeline)>interpret footage>pixel aspect ratio – conform to: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)>click ok
if needed adjust the scale of the clip once it’s in the timeline.

btw: i guess this is probably not the 100% proper way to do this and that it’s a bit dirty… but since in my particular case right now quality is not 1st priority it’s ok for now.

if someone knows a better solution please let me know : )

[Marc Nibor]

Great…. got it!

Track Matte was the hint that I needed ; )

Thanks alot.

[Marc Nibor]

I guess I’ll take the uncompressed road then.
The clips are not too long. only about 15 secons each

thanks for your help guys : )

[Marc Nibor]

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions.
I guess I’ll go for the reencoding… Dave’s in depth explanation made a lot of sense to me.

My source material is 1920 AVCHD PAL
I edited it in Premiere to suit my needs and then encoded it to mp4 which i used later in After Effects which turned out to be a bad idea.

Can anyone make a recommendation what coded and numbers most likely should work?

[Marc Nibor]

Thanks Jeff, your suggestion was actually my workaround in the past… but I was hoping there would be a better solution and that I just miss something obvious.

But what about the clip being on it’s own track like you mentioned? What would be the difference?

[Marc Nibor]

hahaha… dripping with cheese : ) that’s exactly what i’m trying to avoid : ) it’s funny, but ALL products that offer transitions feature these horrible styles that not even my grandma would use.

anyhow…. thanks a lot for the answer

[Marc Nibor]

ok, i’ll check in later….

anyhow i think this way it’s not posible to do the kind of transitions i am looking for….
i’ll describe it again. (a somehow close example is in the presets of AFX cs4 as mentioned in the previous post)
example: clip b blends in with 5 to 7 blocks over time ( each covering about 15% of the screen) these blocks are moving vertically and horizontally… and overlapping over time.
thats just a rough description… doesnt have to be exactly this way.

i was sure there would be some user created transitions to download somewhere… but maybe this is only the case for after effects.
