If all plug-ins fail to give you the look you want – get a real security camera monitor, playback your footage to it and reshoot …

Actually the ATI X800 XT is faster for most things.

Unless you must have two 30″ Cinema Displays (only the GF6800 can do that) and / or want maximum fps in Doom 3 – otherwise the X800 is cheaper, cooler, quieter and smaller (so it doesn’t block the closest PCI slot which the 6800 does)
Just bear in mind that currently After Effect’s OpenGL usage isn’t that optimized anyway, hopefully that will change with AE7.cheers

Or try a adjustment layer on top using Effect>Video>Reduce Interlace Flicker – mostly a value of 1 works perfect. With this you can still render in frames. Also you can try enabling motion blur.

You don’t have to use StuffIt – just ctrl-click (or right-click) the file in Finder and choose ‘Create Archive of …’ and a .zip file is made. StuffIt is not working that well in OSX and StuffItExpander isn’t even included with Tiger.

You need to blur the stills but only in vertical direction. If, as you say, there isn’t any movement in the pictures I suggest cropping and scaling them in Photoshop to 720×480 size (in this case) and then apply ‘Motion Blur’ in vertical direction (90

The quick’n’dirty way in both AE and Photoshop is just creating a solid layer with the colour you want to tint with and set it’s transfer mode to … umm … ‘color’ and then adjust the colour until you have look you want. You probably need to adjust the image layer with levels as well, especially punch the highlights to full white.

[Steve Roberts] “Got Norton Utilities/Antivirus? If so, try switching off auto-protect”
Better yet, delete Norton altogether. Symantec hasn’t gotten a grip on how to code for OSX yet. Their stuff creates far more problems than it supposedly solves.
The problem could also involve your ram sticks. OSX is more sensitive to ram defects than OS9 and nowhere is it more noticeable than in After Effects as it really crams the memory with data. Try removing pairs one at the time and see if you get any changes. Also don’t give AE more than max 75% of available ram and never more than 2 gig as it can’t use more anyway until OSX is 64bit all through.

You got the t and the z in wrong order 😉
