    More color depth creates smoother color blending, blurs, more precise color correction and that kind of thing. You can get away with 8 bit many times, but with better hardware and HD this is getting rarer and for quality reasons you should work with higher bit depths to maintain maximum fidelity of you stuff.

    Try this:

    beam_start=thisComp.layer(“Beam”).effect(“Beam”)(“Starting Point”);
    beam_end=thisComp.layer(“Beam”).effect(“Beam”)(“Ending Point”);
    beam_length=end=thisComp.layer(“Beam”).effect(“Beam”)(“Length”);

    X=linear(beam_length,0,100,beam_start[0],beam_end[0]);
    Y=linear(beam_length,0,100,beam_start[1],beam_end[1]);

    I’d think this is a mere filesystem problem. Most external devices use different cluster sizes and different file systems and protect certain areas from being used for data (they store some meta data and error correction codes in there) which makes it difficult to copy large files to them. I think unless you split up the file there is little chance of success. more specifically I think your file is causing a premature EOF on the mobile device since it cannot allocate clusters properly.

    I have this plugin index for after effects. Its really usefull when you want to know wich plugin you are looking for.

    June 3, 2005 at 4:56 am in reply to: what’s the advantage of working with 2K plates?

    “Plate” simply refers to the canvas/comp size. 2k normally means scanned film which has nothing to do with any of the available video formats. Unless you filmed at this resolution, you can ask for it all you want but your DigiBeta won’t magically transform into it. Larger bit depths give more headroom for effects ‘cos there is less internal rounding. This is especially important with color correction, keying and excessive blur/ optical stuff.

    June 1, 2005 at 7:27 am in reply to: Rolling Credit issues… How to do it?

    Well, when film is brought on to DVD, the pull-up works magic. When you scan film it automatically happens that pixels never appear in the same place (thus the same scanline) for various reasons (grain, minor gate variations etc.) and motion looks clearer to the human eye even and especially if it’s slow. You can’t really re-create this effect with the clean anti-alising/ oversampling algorithms in a program, but might consider creating your credits at alrger size and then scale it down. This will in a way introduce some randomness when scaling down (one pixel may appear at one scanline but in the next frame another pixel is used by the interpolation routines). Laong those line all the “bad” tricks like adding noise or blur also work, but may not be what you want since obviously they degrade the image.

    May 31, 2005 at 4:34 pm in reply to: Alpha channel with Light factory???

    I think they dropped it in the 2 release, so that may not be an option. Or is it still part of the demo/ free version?
