In this Wired interview with Kyle Cooper, the designer of the title sequence, he said he used human blood but that might be a bit of hyperbole.

This is making me dread the day I run into this problem since ..
1. Here in Sweden Adobe is mostly a PR department and the little contact I’ve had with their support I quickly noticed I know much more how their apps work than their staff.
2. Faxes? What faxes? They are left on the IT graveyard here. Must have been more than 5 years since I used one. Hopefully my accountant have one gathering dust in a closet.
FWIW I made a clone using SuperDuper of my entire system drive to another internal drive before upgrading to Leopard and so far the AE installation on either drive hasn’t demanded to be re-activated. Maybe this can help in some way – at least in the future. But I probably jinxed this for myself just by mentioning it.

Ironic in a sad way that Adobe of all companies doesn’t seem to be aware that a fax message is a scanned document open to manipulation just like a attached jpeg or pdf of the proof-of-purchase would be. I know there are myriads of jokes flying around the net about people needing documents on ‘real’ paper believing fax messages somehow magically can’t be forged, so far I’ve thought they were just web myths …
Hope this solves quickly for you.

Here’s what I do:
– Duplicate the comp and move it to a new folder.
– Open the duplicate, select all layers I want a separate render of and pre-comp them sending all settings with them.
– Now in the new folder the pre-comps should appear. I select and add them to render queue. Render out with a codec that have a alpha – I use Animation.
The first step is to avoid going into a dead end so I can go back and change stuff easier if needed plus it keeps the project from getting overly messy. Also make sure the comp you start from has a black background to keep the edges clean.
Hope this helps.

Either way check that your G5 has the same PCIe slots as the MacPro you are planning to get or you will need to get a new card again.

Ask him to try the Photo-JPEG codec at 75% quality, that should work on on a pc with QuickTime.

A gif! Render to an animated gif! Set up a one bit colour palette (ie black/white, colour/white or colour/black) in Photoshop first that you refer to in Output Module>Video Output>Format Options.
