in a similar vein:
I am looking for an expression which moves a layer to the position of the layer above it.
Thus if I have layer 2 key-framed at position A, B then it will move over time to the (target)layer 1 key-framed at position C, D

The idea is to apply this expression independently to individual layers to inherit a move towards the a layer above it.

possible?

So gravity would be a further advancement.

Dear Hylda, how do I write this script in Indesign?

I have 100 hundred Indesign pages which I need to rebuild in Illustrator for subsequent import into After Effects. I really is hard to believe Adobe didn’t predict this design workflow. I am sure it could be automated in some fashion. Maybe your script is a stating point,


var mySels = app.selection.length;
if (mySels == 0) {
alert("Select the object and Run the script");
exit(0)
}
else{
while(mySels--){
var objLayer=app.activeDocument.layers.add();
app.selection[mySels].itemLayer = objLayer;
}
}

thanks pete

If you right click on the private file you can see a subfolder. Then right click again… and again… again …. etc and you will find your clips folder.

But Aftereffects is looking for the full path to relink other colleagues in your project. So this doesn’t help you relink all the files.

It is not intuitive; but if you simply click on the recognisable clip name and then click ok then all the media relinks!

By clicking on the relevant .MTS clip in the Locate window and then clicking OK the media does relink with all it’s friends too!

That was lucky!!

In FCP 6 there is an automatic setting for 5.1 audio track configuration. I note that some tracks are set to -3db whilst others are at 0db and LFE is set to none db!

so to follow your protocol of exporting separate mono files would these now have incorrect level settings?

or do you set them all to 0db?

Apparently, 1920×1080 ProRes only works if you run it on an Mac Intel.

Hi

I am using the V4HD on a HD1920x1080 24p feature film here in the UK. I had to choose the V4HD over ioHD for its superior timecode capabilities.

When I hired it i was informed it worked with ProRes. Out of the box it simply didn’t function I contacted MOTU technical help by phone. They were incredibly rude and to every inquiry responded that i should contact Apple!

Anyhow, after extensive upgrades to my system, uninstalling Blackmagic and ioHD components and a firmware upgrade to the V4HD! it eventually worked.

It doesn’t work in ProRes. So I am forced to work in DVCproHD and conform to ProRes later. It also stutters a lot, generating long frames.

i think there is a long way to go on this product to make it a robust workflow option with FCP. They should outsource their technical support!

yes it is strange that the preset setting letterboxes the picture. But now if i make a custom setting i can make it anamorphic. Unfortunately there is no way to store the custom setting
