Hey

I’ve been playing around with the footage but im still having problems with producing a final solid after the animation has completed. Is there anyone that can offer any advice?

Thanks

Hi Rafael and Walter

Thanks for your advice. It has worked! The only thing i have noticed it that once i have done all the steps you outlined and then re-applied it back to some footage, the purple aston strap/lower third bar is slightly transparent where it should be a solid colour.

The animation for the aston strap/lower third bar is several transparent layers that animate and to the same spot to build up the colour solid purple colour to allow text to be applied. As mentioned before, the solid is now appearing slightly transparent. This does not happen when i apply the original animation file to footage. Is there a way that i can avoid this happening?

Look forward to your reply.

Hi Rafael

Thanks for you advice. I had a go and it kinda worked. The only problem is that i lose the colour part of the graphic. The actual aston strap/lower third is purple with a white logo and animated. The logo also disappears when i followed your instructions.

any further advice?

Thanks

Hi Jeremy –

my setup is:
– MAC OSX v10.5.1
– FCP v6.0
– Kona LHe – AJA Control Panel 5.0
– QuickTime v7.3
– I also have a Kramer blackburst/colour bar generator connected.

Im editing in PAL trying to digitise uncompressed 8-bit. As mentioned before, i am able to digitise from other DVCAM decks but it seems that whatever is causing the problem doesnt like the DSR-1500P. I also got in another DSR-1500P to test it out and it also had the same problems.

Any advice/help would be amazing!!

Thanks

Hi Bob –

I went through the steps but using PAL settings as im editing in PAL.

I got a picture on the monitor and the AJA Control Panel detects the correct input. I can get the DSR1500 to appear and work in FCP but when i do i get the odd extra frame appearing/overlapping on the footage.

Any other ideas??

Thanks!!
