I think he would be much happier with the experience in OfflineRT. He should have plenty of bandwidth. No special equipment needed.

No, really. I get it.
But since many people don’t have the ability to go buy a “BIG TUNNEL”, I am suggesting that instead of getting a bigger tunnel, he decreases the flow of media by re-compressing (thus making it flow better), to continue your analogy. I like to try to offer solutions that don’t just include “go buy something else” because that just isn’t always practical.

Check your AE project settings. In the project settings, check your color settings and use the appropriate standard. This should help with your Gamma once you get back to FCP.

What resolution/codec are you using? How about a different codec. Maybe an offline/online workflow would be better if you don’t want to get more equipment. You could use media manager to recompress your footage to a more CPU/RAM friendly codec. When you are done, you can reconnect to the “online” media…Look around for exact steps, they are littered around.

[derek nagle] “(with a program not a application)”
Sorry, not completely sure what you mean. There are several good applications to record screens, like Snapz Pro. I am sure others would be excited to share their experience and give recommendations with others too. If you want to edit with it, you might want to transcode your video to a more FCP friendly format. Depending on your final destination, you might just consider DV-NTSC. Use Compressor to batch transcode your media…it will take some time, but it will probably be worth it if you are editing heavily. Good luck.

I will see what I can do.

Samah,
You might want to think about a dolby encoded 2-channel track for channels 3&4, and a regular stereo mix on 1&2. Surround mixes take 6 channels. If you wanted to do that, you should master to HDCAM SR instead. Don’t forget to have a version without music or sound effects for future changes…

Yeah,
Realistically, it would probably take you much less time to matte them out. Depending on your footage and the size of the trackers, you might be able to expand your key a little bit to overflow those areas…if they are too big in the frame, or you are lacking resolution, it might start to break down. I am sure it would be nice to key everything and walk away, I don’t know if I have ever had an easy key, just an easier one… Sometimes a little elbow grease goes a long way. Good luck.
