That’s only 76 inches right? (6 feet 4 inches)

Feature Request?
I would call that major bug, I did file bug

Is it a viable workaround to do a dummy project in PPRO 1.5 where that works and instead of doing new project you load that dummy project?

If so (it’s one thing to have the menu say the right thing), if you do a test render of a project saved in PPRO 1.5 with such settings and render in PPRO 1.5 and 2.0, do you get the same exact result?

You don’t get the Poser character in AE, you render the sequence in Poser with the character animated

Maybe Pete remembers, haven’t use Poser for ages, but if there is a roto plane in Poser (a way to load an image sequence), approximatively animate the character in Poser so it matches the live-action.

Then you can use that rendered sequence and the original sequence to morph one into the other. To simplify your life try to make the morph transition in a section where the live-action does not move, then the manual registration of the 3D character will be real simple.

Good question 🙂
Do you have a way to make a Premiere Project and drop it somewhere on an FTP site (or if it’s under 5 megs you can as well send that to techsupport@revisionfx.com) . It’s hard to know from your description what could be going on, too many variables.

Just put yourself in Frame mode to calculate (File|Project settings)
Look the layer duration and for a staight 4X, just multiply by 4 and use that as comp duration

If you want to trim frames as well
Option A: Select Movie in Project Window -> File|Make Comp from Selection, then in Comp
In AE 7, (other ways in other version), at the bottom left, the thrid icon makes the In/Out/Duration thing appear,
slide the movie so it starts at the right frame (right first frame is at first frame). Calculate the new duration (Original Duration minus number of frames trimmed at begin and end). Then it’s “NumberOfFramesIwant over NumberOfFramesThatAreGood)

Option B: Make a comp of the right duration, make a solid, Apply Twixtor. Use Twixtor in Frame Mode (as opposed to speed), go to first frame, in the Effects Control window right click on “Frame Num” value, put for a Max a smaller value (like the duration of the wanted result). Twirl open. Press on the keyframe clock icon. Move the “Frame Num” value intil you find your start frame. Now go to the last frame of the comp. Move the slider to the last good frame you want to use. Render. The later technique is useful to make dynamic time ramping as well.

You need to set the comp duration to how long you want it and calculate the speed (Twixtor slider) you want to fill the whole sequence. For example if you want to triple the duration, you set speed to 0.3333 and you make the comp duration to 3 times the source layer duration. Also make sure if you create the solid before you extend the Comp duration to grab the duration handle of the solid layer and make it extend to the end. Your other option is to simply drop the footage in a comp, set duration then select in project window the comp, and File|Make New Comp from selection and simply apply twixtor to that.
