    To me it looks like they created a white layer and drew a circular mask. Kicked up the feather and applied glow. Im sure cc toner was used to create the golding highlight. Scale the mask up until it white out the screen on frame 1 (press mask shape, mask scale, and mask position stopwatch). Move the curser down timeline. Scale the mask down until it dissapears (make sure to move it where you want it to retract to.). Press play and you should have it. As a side note, make the white layer twice as large as the comp size. It will help with the masking.

    I dont think you can export an OMF without a plug (if it even exists). I would import back into Avid, then from there import to Pro Tools.

    If you want to do the most standard of tests that will display this. Render an image with just a black solid, then render an image with the same black solid only now animate a text. Make them both the same size everything, the text will be a larger file.

    Thanks, I thought this was the case. I thought maybe I might be able to do it in AE since then we could kill two renders with 1 stone but o well.

    Ok this I cannot explain…..I went into the comp settings and changed the comp FPS to 23.98 or 24. Then when I render out the entire movie out at 24 it plays back white. BUT! When I render out JUST the clips of what I worked on and not the entire film. They all play back fine with a FPS of 23.98?!?!? Am I losing my mind or why is this happening?

    No, a QT of the edited film was given to me. It should have been as simple as import>workflow>export, done…

    Thanks guys Ill try this. The camera used was a HVX200, they filmed in 24 FPS with a resolution of 1280×720. They used the DVCPRO HD 60p codec. This is what I thought was odd. In AE7, when you click on the codec it automatically sets a FPS to 29.97. You have to manually set the FPS to 24. I just assumed they shot in 29.97 since they made no mention of filming in 24…..I am actually working on a MAC that has Final Cut. Another odd thing, since the finished render has been playing back white once completed. I noticed that if I let it render for a few min then stop the render, I have absolutly no problem playing back. Hopefully your ideas will fix this. Thanks

    But its not the lenght of the clip that matters, its whats in the clip. Say I make two different clips but they are both 5 seconds long:
    Clip A) has a ball just sitting there, no x or y movment just a rotation.

    Clip B) has the same ball except this time instead of just having it rotate its bouncing all over the screen. Plus I now have a 3d camera shadowing the ball.

    Both clips are the exact same lenght but clip B has much more going on inside of it. There for clip B would be MUCH larger than clip A. Most of the time, the lenght of the clip doesnt determin the size of of it. I could also have a 10 min short that would be about 8 gigs of stuff. There is no rule saying I cant make a 1 min short 8 gigs or larger. It all depends on what you do inside your comp.

    To me it looks like your second comp would be about double the size. You used at least double the particals (the lenght of the streak is much larger than the first) and you animated a 3d camera. Simple, 2nd comp has more in it than first comp=2nd comp bigger.
