Hi Vasyl. It looks like both ways work now, thank you again for that very helpful suggestion!

Hi Vasyl, thank you so much for your help. I tried the Wiggle Paths, and it does give some variety to the invasion layer. But I very much prefer Turbulent Displace, as it looks more organic and natural. But you’re right. That does work, thank you!
But I did find a workaround for Turbulent Displace when it comes to rasterizing a moving invasion layer mask in a 3D scene. I just discovered that I only need to pre-compose the invasion mask itself (nothing else), and I can then add a null parented camera above all the other rasterized 3D layers. So when I zoom in, the map and any accompanying text won’t lose any resolution, just the pre-composed grey colored invasion layer.

I’m only able to import video if I select uncompressed Ycbcr which is crazy as I end up a huge file with a 1GB per second data rate and it’s over 1TB for 60 minutes. But there seems to be no other way to import video using AJA Control Room than to select uncompressed which does not make any sense. So these are the specs for the video file I end up with. None of the Apple ProRes codecs seem to work for ingesting video with AJA Control Room.

Hi Matt, thanks very much for your help. I’m sure then that it must be something I’m doing wrong but I’ve checked all my settings in AJA Control Panel and AJA Control Room, and I can’t seem to find what is preventing me from capturing video using Apple Pro Res. Here is my set up:

UPDATE: For some bizarre reason, using Apple ProRes I’m able to upconvert from 480i29.97 to 720P59.94 but not to 1080i29.97

Hi Michael, thank you very much for your help as well. I purchased my WW2 clips from Buyout Footage on Mini-DV tapes (480i29.97). They have a number of titles in HD 1080p24 but it was expensive enough to acquire them in standard video. So as I can’t afford to buy the HD version, I initially upconverted them to 720p59.94, but I decided instead on 1080i29.97. I’m using a Kona LHi card as my hardware for upconverting. The only choices it gives me for that are 720p59.94 or 1080i29.97. I don’t have Compressor yet, but I’m an Adobe CC subscriber and I use AE regularly. I’d love to be able to turn those WW2 newsreels into 1080p24 format. Would Compressor or AE be better at doing that?

Got it thanks Frank. The only problem is when I put a checkmark in the “deinterlace” column, it changes the fps timecode of the clips from 29.97 to 59.94:

Hi Frank, sorry to bother you with this, but I’m not seeing a de-interlace option in Final Cut Pro. Can you help me locate it? Thanks very much in advance. This is what I see in my inspector window when I select an upconverted (from 480i29.97) 1080i29.97 clip:

Hi Frank, thanks very much for your help and feedback. But as I have the Kona LHI card, isn’t it better to upconvert to 1080 with that hardware than not doing so? As I will be editing and delivering a 1080 project.
