hi.
well. first- thank you for the help.
just to be clear-I’m a bit new to compositing for film- I should make a Quicktime .mov with RGB+Alpha.. and then do a “second pass” as a DPX Sequence. correct?
cool

thanks but,. I don’t have that kind of money right now to invest in anymore software. I just bought
CS4 production suite … so,I have adobe media encoder and premiere.. is there anyway to compress
using those programs?

[Melissa Kern]

thanks for all the help.
I do work on a Mac (10.5.7)… not sure if the compressor is included in the OS or if
its purchased separately. I’ll hunt around.
thanks again

I’ve been using the H.264 in AE and fussing with the bitrate, but I really don’t know what I’m doing.

Hi..

I’ve solved my problem by rendering out the animation as a targa sequence.
is there a program you could suggest for combining the sound (which is a mp3) and the targa
sequence? I have FCP, but don’t want any loss in image quality…I also have CS4..with the adobe encoder.
and premiere of course.
my final output is for the web (still 720×480 though)..what the best way to render for the web?
can I change an mp3 to an aif?

any suggestion would be a great help.
thanks

I tried to render not using multi processing and I got this error message.

after effects error: updating movie-out of memory (-108)
(44::53)

and something really strange happened… there was a box outside of the composition playback window – on the desktop itself- of the video I am trying to render..and when I would scrub the timeline that “box” scrubs right along with the composition window…does that seem video card related?

finally, I did shoot some of the footage originally in HD but then out put still images from that as .psd and created animations from those .psd

thanks for responding I will try an .aiff file if I can find it oor convert what I have.

hey, thanks..I would of never thought of that process and it works beautifully. cool cool

it’s a 3D scene, there are actors that I green screened and dropped into what is basically a diorama (stacked layers as back ground, etc…)..

thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping to avoid purchasing anything-but when all else fails.
thanks again.
