    This might be a stupid question… It soulds like you want to export an image sequence with the logo on each image? If so, why can’t you, from the original, add a layer with the logo and re-export? Or if you don’t have the original, import the sequence, add the layer and re-export? Like I said, it might be a stupid question…

    I generally export from AVID in Quicktime Reference, then once I complete my work in AE, export from AE as either Quicktime (.MOV) using animation or uncompressed OR export using a png sequence. I’m wondering if part of the problem is a quicktime rather than quicktime reference from AVID AND exporting from AE in OMF. What happens if you export from AE in QT .MOV using Uncompressed? The file will be huge, but I think the quality will hold up. You might try exporting just a small 10 second section just to test the quality. Hope this helps.

    [aindreas] “While im at it; the demoes of aperture at the apple site look mightily impressive. I actually wish i was a professional photographer, just so as i could justify buying the thing. The internal organisation, looks at first glance, to blow bridge out of the water. In the sense that its not required to be generic to a number of different software packages.”

    I’m hoping this is one feature that might find it’s way into iPhoto whose image editing features have been evolving as well.

    hmmm… I feel outnumbered here… Dual 2.7 gig G% with two 30″ cinema displays 🙂 Then once you buy it, can you adopt me? 🙂

    Right you are… my mistake. Sorry about the confusion.

    “Normally I light the green screen a stop under my taking stop. For example, if I have a T2.8 on the camera, I would light the green screen at a T2. ”

    This is giving the background a stop more light than your subject. I would keep it the same or slightly less. If you get 2.8 on the subject, keep the background at 2.8 or -1/2 stop less. Keep the subject as far away from the background as possible to keep light from the subject spilling on the background and light from the background reflecting back on the subject. Even then, if you are giving the background more light than the subject there is a tendency for the light to wrap around the subject (you will see a color fringe from the background on the subject). THAT is from the light off the background flaring within your lens.

    Even if everything is perfect, something will happen… it alway does! AE’s keylight is awesome though!

    Can’t you setup a render farm and have the second processor render in the background?

    Doesn’t it give you a link or a website to go to? We’ve done this a couple of times. You can get a code to enable this at no cost. Doesn’t make any sense to me why you would need to download a free code to unlock it. I mean, if it’s free, just include it! Anyway, no big deal. Just get the code and it’s work just fine.

    Johnathan;
    Thanks for the tip! I’ll try this first. Between the two I’m sure I can get it to work. Learn something new every day! If I don’t learn anything then what’s the point, right?
