    If you’ve already created your animation, I’d import it and polish it in AE.

    Im not sure what options you have with Swift 3d, but try exporting it as an uncompressed AVI, or a “animation”x100% Quicktime. Make sure the frame size matches the size of the comp your working with in AE. At witch point you can add any number of glows, halos, motion blurs, etc

    If this is something you have to do on a regular basis, you may want to have a look at this plugin:

    Yes, Magic Bullet does a great job, but it’s a bit slow.

    Another very nice alternative thats much faster is RE:Vision Effects FieldsKit:

    This sounds like more of a Premier problem (which I abandoned several years ago for Vegas).

    But I would venture to guess that its a sizing issue having to do with Premier improperly interpreting your clips pixel aspect ratio.

    See if there is a way to force Premier to use 0.9 pixel aspect ratio on your imported clips.

    Also, I’d try using Aftereffects for title generation. It has much more robust text handling than Flash.

    If you do allot of alpha compositing or keying, try “Comnposite Wizard”

    Really nice product, I use it everyday.

    Is this happening all over the screen or just in the keyed areas?

    Also, are you only seeing the pixels when you scrub the time line? If this is the case try turning off OpenGL preview (switch to adaptive resolution).

    Could you post a screen cap?

    Try parenting. Grab the “Parent” pick-whip from one of your sub elements and drag it to the main-element. Now try rotating the main-element.

    Select layer and Time Remap: Ctrl+Alt+T

    Add keyframes to the Time Remap property layer. You can then slide them left or right and the footage before and after the keyframe will temporally expand or compress accordingly.

    June 28, 2005 at 9:12 am in reply to: Random flickering / strobe expression

    Drop this into the opacity expression line of the footage you want to flicker:

    wiggle(30*thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”),100*thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control 1”)(“Slider”))

    then create a null object layer and call it “Null1”

    On “Null 1” add 2 Expression Controls -> Slider Controls and name them “Slider Control” and “Slider Control 1”

    “Slider Control” will effect the frequency of the flicker (1 to 30 times a sec)

    “Slider Control 1” will control the amount of transparency (0% to 100%)

    Adjust these sliders from 0 to 1(they’re keyframeable as well)

    Hope this helps,
