You need to create a quantized keyframe before the last one. You need to correlate your frame rate and percentages to the fields to coincide with the right point in time. Simply manually calculate a value (100 x target frame / framerate). Make sure interpolation between those keyframes is set to linear.

Encore does GPRM in an automated fashion. You cannot explicitly set commands, but it will take care of things like remembering button positions. More exotic stuff like switching menu subpictures and the like is not possible. DVDLabPro and of course DVDStudio Pro do GPRM programming. I don’t really get your question about title sets. You never get to see this structure as Encore only works within a singular title set and multiple title sets are not really required as they merely represent a means of organizing the data structure. Unless you intend to build a mult-domain DVD or some programming-heavy job, Encore will do anything you may need.

“Locked lists” refers to AE’s internal lists of compositions, footages etc. Those are based on unique ID numbers and if AE is unable to assign an ew such ID to a newly imported or duplicated item, the list becomes “locked”. Your only way out is to exit AE and launch it again.

If you will be rendering on multiple machines, NET-Render is a must. I don’t think any of the other modules the others mentioned is an immediate requirement, though. It’s quite possible to do nice logos without Advanced Render and in the crunch you won’t have time to use radiosity and other fancies much, anyways. Same for Thinking Particles – unless you have lots of time to learn it and use its powers, it can be more of a hinderance. For simple stuff I find I can get away with the standard particles and MoGraph along with my collection of After Effects tools.

Masks cannot be tied to expressions and neither can text layers be accesed in a manner that allows to read their absolute dimnesuion (in pixels) easily. Your setup is more or less non-automatable.

Raytrace DOF always affects the entire scene. Like Adam said, you need to take a compositing approach.

Ah, I see. Good to know you’ll keep working on them so at least compatibility with future versions of AE will be maintained.

[Alexandre Van de Sande] “1-Does anyone knows what is BibAlloc??”
Those are AE’s internal function calls.
[Alexandre Van de Sande] “2-Is there a way to stop the image buffer error without changing the comp size?”
Most likely it’s one of your effects. Try to strip down all effects to the bare minimum. If it is an option, pre-render every element you can and replace the comps. Also render out to a image sequence and assemble it later. Even under worst conditions there is a chance you may be able to render everything by skipping already existing frames and only doing the missing chunks.
[Alexandre Van de Sande] “Is there a more general way to make AE render more and bitch less?”
No, but like I said, the problem must not necessarily be AE itself, even if it is not optimized for intel Macs.

Oh, too bad. I guess this means we won’t be seeing much development in the future. Anyway, much appreciated (though I still barely use Normality). Maybe the day will come and I’ll do something great with your tools. Many thanks and good luck on whatever you pursue next.

Sounds like a sync problem in FCP or the playback hardware. Improper syncing can shift scanlines around and then they disappear. Your problem sounds like the matrix of the projector is just a tiny bit out of phase.
