    Hey,

    AE to Premiere, make sure to use something like the Quicktime Animation codec for best quality.

    Once you bring in the .mov file into Premiere and everything is ready to go, simply render out an .m2v and .m2a file to bring into your DVD authoring app. Saves both time and hard drive space.

    Take care,

    Nick

    Hey,

    Never used Motion Math myself, but I’ve read enough posts here to know that it is no longer available, and has been replaced completely by expressions. As for Motion Math and audio, there is a feature called ‘convert audio to keyframes’ which will do what you need, it’s under the Animation menu item. Look it up in the help file for more info.

    Take care,

    Hey,

    It depends on how you set up your project in Premiere. For example, if you’ve chosen to use the DV NTSC 48khz preset in Premiere, and you bring over an uncompressed file from AE, Premiere has to ‘render’ the file with the DV codec in order for you to preview it without the red line at the top of the timeline. If you set up a project in Premiere using the exact same codec you used to render the file in AE, you won’t get the red line. However, your computer probably won’t be fast enough to play the file back!

    Try this: in AE, render out a file using the Microsoft DV codec and bring it into Premiere that uses the DV codec for its timeline…you don’t have to do anything to preview it, nothing but green line across the top.

    Loss in quality? For me, the real test is to look at the file you render out of Premiere after you’ve finished with all your editing.

    Take care,

    Nick

    Hey,

    The only way I’ve found to do this is by either removing timelines and their assets one by one and doing a preview to see if anything is out of order, then saving the project when you are CERTAIN that you no longer need them. Also, sitting down with pen and paper and writing out which assets and their respective timelines helps me figure out what I need and don’t need. As far as I know, there isn’t an automated way to do this…

    Take care,

    Hey,

    That was really funny! At my work (high school) some of my students like to use the Godzilla-theme for making silly commercials about upcoming standardized tests, I’ll be sure to have them watch this for inspiration : )

    Ideas:

    1. When the dog runs down the street, put a shadow underneath him.
    2. The blood at the end running over the mail man’s stuff looks more like cranberry juice…if you can, make it more red and not so transparent.

    It’s nice to see people using AE to make ‘fun’ movies instead of the usual hyper motion graphics a lot of people do…including myself!

    Take care,

  • Hey,

    Just a thought…sometimes when you copy files from a cd-dvd to a hard drive, they remain in their ‘read-only’ state until you turn it on. Try turning off the ‘read-only’ property by right-clicking on the copied folder/files, go to Properties, then unchecking ‘read-only’.

    Take care,

    Nick

    Hey,

    Thanks for the info. Loks like I’m going to spend a bit of time making an illustrator template to prevent this from happening again!

    Take care,
