well I want it to pick up the white because it’s premultiplied and will be composited on the web over a white or light background. However, on my G5 system with AE 7 and previous, my rendered quicktimes would always show the whole background as white, just as it was in AE. Now it looks like a straight alpha (although it is not) and it has noisy white on the bottom of the frame and along the garbage mask edges and a white outline around the subject (although the inside of this is clean against the subject) and the rest is black.
I have my render settings set the same as always. But could this have something to do with these color management settings in the render que?

well in FCP 6 when you pull the 23.98 footage into a 30 timeline, it doesn’t add pulldown, it just repeats the fourth frame. Why? I have no clue. It makes no sense. If I would have done the conversion before editing that would have been better, but now I have to go in reverse.

scratch that. what I meant was that the original footage is 720p60 not 720p24, but its at 23.98 frame rate.

thanks!

Right. the car is moving already. I just roto’d it into the scene. I would think there would be a way to repeat and blur those masked frames as is with the mask taken into account.

Hey my Boss asked me to post this question, about the expression, so I have…
I had worked out a method for doing credit rolls that was supposed to do what your expression does. I have been unable to make it work, using Illustrator and After Effects.
I first determine an appropriate artboard dimension for illustrator. The parameters are:
The length of time each credit is on screen as selected from the possibilities for each format. The example I have used here is an HD roll with a pixel rate of 5.0 pixels per frame.
The vertical dimension of the artboard is then set to a value of daration in frames multiplied by the pixel rate. In this example the pixel rate is 5.0 and the duration is 3036 frames yielding a vertical dimension of 15180 pixels for the artboard.
The horizontal dimension for the artboard is the format horizontal pixel size, in theis case, 1920 pixels.
The compositiopn is made to fit the artboard top to bottom and and horizontally within the title safe size of the format, 1536 pixels centered on the artboard.
The composition is then brought into After Effects for rasterization. The duration is right on, and the pixel rate looks like 5 pixels per frame, however, the charachters are anti-aliased differently each frame telling me that the pixel rate is slightly off. When the expression is applied to the project everything is OK.
What am I missing?

have you ever done it just using the text tool in AE?
It’s for a film that is being projected now on digibeta, but we are working in 24 with pulldown added because the filmmaker might want to get an HD or film out done eventually.
