Yes you can achieve all these things and more with a little dose of something called PRACTISE!

Forgive me Graeme, and Guy practice what you preach 😉

Thanks for your time Graham you have been a greeat help.
Going the DV to AE (reference movie) back to FCP via animation route (RGB+) as you suggested seems to be working okay. -
Thanks for the input Graham however this is still clear as mud to me. Been trying for about two weeks to understand the whole YUV>RGB thing and I still don’t get it.
-
I originally did it the way you suggested (export reference movie (or self contained – still doesn’t add compression) out of FCP to AE,
do all effects bring back to FCP). But thats when I was getting luma shifts and weirdness. So I started Trying FCP>animation>AE>Animtion>FCP and didnt get the shifts. I’m totally confused myself now? -
I am refereing to this article
https://www.lafcpug.org/porting_between_fcp_ae.htmlSpecifically this line “The default codec for After Effects is Animation, but that might not be appropriate. The rule of thumb is this. If you need to carry an Alpha Channel, or transparency information, back to FCP with the QT movie, then you need to use the Animation codec”

Adding some tracked particle effects in AE to an actor as the physical camera tracks in toward the actor.
I do a lot of work like this so need to find a good workflow solution to this problem. -
Also Graham when you say export do you mean a reference movie rather than quicktime conversion to avoid recompression.
-
YES i am trying to export keyed footage of an actor from FCP. Would it be more benifical to use the source file in AE and key it in there instead rather than in FCP.
Thanks.

Export DV as a reference movie or recompress?, I thought this would reintroduce compression. I’m sure I can’t preserve alpha channels on keyed subjects this way though.
