Strange coincidence time!
I had alot of unread e-mails in my inbox, so I spent this morning going through them all. One of them was a tech newsletter that had an interesting article. That article lead to a different website with another fascinating article. That article lead to your blog referencing on of your latest posts. I found it to be a great read, and on the side bar my eye noticed the 3 magic words “edit + suite + design”. Found it to be a fantastic cache of information!
So as I continued to clear out my inbox, I got an e-mail from CCow alerting me to a new message board post in my thread. Lo and behold… 😀

Let’s say I made a new composition with a 3D camera. The camera would have all default settings and positioning. I place in the 2D element and look at the Active Camera view. The appearance would be exactly the same if I then made that 2D item into a 3D layer.
Now I animate the camera. Add all sorts of pans, rotations, etc…
I jump to 10:00 in the composition. I add another 2D layer element. I like how it looks in the Active Camera view. I turn it into a 3D layer. Now the Active Camera view is different, as my camera is pointing off somewhere else.How can I convert that 2D layer into a 3D layer, while keeping the Active Camera view appearance intact?

[Gene Gemperline] “Just make sure to convert the HDV footage to something that’ll play nice with AE before you import.”
Do HDV and AE have bad blood between each other? Who gets along with AE? When transcoding, anything I should be aware of, or is it just a simple export? Should my new composition have any special settings/dimensions? Thanks!

[Joe Moya] “As for using HD for animation… I don’t understand the question… animation is not video generated.”
Ah, I think the word I should have used is ‘composition’? I’m thinking of using HDV footage inside a SD composition. The HDV footage area gives me alot of room to play with within a SD frame size, that is what appeals to me.

Haha, those settings have always confused me. I read alot of conflicting recommendations for those settings :S. My Max RAM Cache is 60%, that’s universally agreed upon. But Max Memory Usage at 120%? How can it be above 100%? How could I use more RAM than I have?
I have DLL turned off (as i’ve read elsewhere…). Should I turn it on?

Yes, me like interlaced footage :D. Everything inside AE looks beautiful, anytime I export the ‘entire timeline’ it’s beautiful (except for always failing somepoint during render).
I’m on a PC, exporting AVI’s. The quality is noticeable within Windows Media Player (the good clips are crisp, the bad clips are soft/blurry/rough). Likewise within Premiere Pro.

Ya exactly, makes no sense to me :S. Unless for whatever reason, AFX renders ‘differently’ if starting from certain points?
For Render Settings i’m using ‘DV Settings’. For Output Module i’m using ‘Lossless’.

Yup! I just did some re-renders to test some stuff.
1) Copy/paste of previously ‘good’ render queue item, whereas the render led to a file in proper quality. I adjusted the ins/outs to be a shorter length, the render created a bad quality file.
2) Sent a specific section of my timeline to the render queue using exact same render preset. Created a bad quality render file.
3) Sent the entire timeline to the render queue. The render failed @ ~25% in due to the typical RAM errors. But the resulting file was *good* in quality, exactly like my initial outputted file.Case #3 jogged my memory, and I remember that my initial output also had crapped out, but it failed @ ~70%.
