Thank you again, Dan.
I ended up using last version of your code for both – animated transforms and timeRemap, just I had to adjust it to get the effects.

f = timeToFrames(time);
valueAtTime(framesToTime(Math.floor((f-1)/2)*2)) -> 1,1,3,3,5,5..

I guess, your bit deserves to replace current info on posterizeTime() in AFX user’s guide, or Adobe should consider fixing that function.

Terrific, Dan! You are saving my tomorrow. 🙂
Tested your code and it worked (at least on CS4) – I shall try it tomorrow on CC.

But then again, will this [posterizeTime(12.5); value] work with animated camera or should I think of other way? What is necessary to achieve is to sync animated 3D layers with the posterized footage, and therefore camera movement also should be stepped.

Thank you very much for advice and your website. 🙂

I believe this is a matter of experimentation.
Since You need a limited amount of colors, I suggest You to use GIF format, where You can specify total size of palete. Also You can load predefined color table e.g. Your wool colors.
Also for production of hundreds of images, You should consider creating an Action and run it as Automate->Batch..

Replace will work.. however try to save for web (skip posterization) as GIF – much handier.

My friend, Your post doesn’t make a sense, since it looks like You have missing the veeeery basic understanding of what does “dpi” mean. Have a look in wikipedia or any other resource, then take a calculator or sheet of paper and do a math. Don’t worry – this won’t be a rocket science, just mult and div. I am sure for You it will be better to find answers Yourself.
Best wishes.

Squares: downsize image to pixels = tile number. Then, upsize back to original image and make sure Rresample image is off.

are You sure Encore needs PAL res for NTSC project? and in the modern world everything goes HD.. what you write sound rally strange.
However, you should check if Encore is keeping imported image’s aspect ratio.
if keeps, then you’ll end with PAL res with [black] stripes on top and on bottom of your image, just do in PS Image->ImageSize.. and downsize image to w=720, keeping Constrain Proportions ON.
if streches, then do the same, just after increase canvas height up to 576.
