Then you will be happy to know that I haven’t entered into a NDA with Adobe or anyone else nor did ask to have one breeched.

Why?

You might try adding a small directional blur in the direction of your gradient, this will act as an antialising effect. Sometimes our Flame would also have banding but we were using a D-Beta master. I assumed it was some type of RGB-YUV problem because the Quantel Editbox looked fine which was a native YUV application.

Third Party is fine. I have a client who is moving his project from AVID DS to FCP for cost savings. He is using Tinder FX for some transitions and I am trying to find some transitions that are similar to what he is using. I will check out the ones you have suggested.

Jeff, if you are a Christian and you are looking to start a religion based company for religious reasons then I would submit that you should to go where God calls you. If you want to start a video company and want Faith based organizations as your target client base then, as others have said, you might want to diversify.

Are you the Editor, Shooter or Producer? If you are the producer then this wouldn’t apply but when we did (or do) political ads we have the producer bring in all the materials and sign a “hold harmless” document. Basically it states that the client has brought us materials and information to use that he has secured the rights to use and we are acting in good faith they rights were obtained. Such a document is supposed to keep us from being liable, I don’t know if it would stand up in court but we have never been sued.

This is probably more information than you need and certainly more than you asked for but I thought it might help.
I used to work for a cable production facility in central Florida and my brother managed one in south Florida, we did this type work for years. Later I worked at a turnkey house in Virginia where we serviced the local cable companies and broadcast networks with “spot packages”. It was generally back breaking run and gun style shooting and simple edits. If memory serves we alloted 2 hrs for editing, 2 hrs for shooting, a needle drop of music, voice over and charged extra for milage and tape stock for this they were charged a flat rate. The broadcast network was charged a little more than the cable companies, I can’t remember why. The flat rate was helpful to the ad sales folks who could include it in a packaged rate including the media buy.
With the shooting package they usually got a single man crew with a BetaSP camera, tripod, light kit, wireless mic and monitor. Editing was whatever they could get done in 2 hours. Occasionally, clients wanted something more fancy like a bigger lighting package, larger crew or more editing time. These overages were calculated and added to the “spot package” rate at either a prenegotiated rate or rate card rates.
I don’t know if any of this has helped. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

I tried the new version of motion and still the filtering isn’t sufficient. So far, Boris looks the best but I can’t use it if wont do a bezier curve on the translation, it may be able to do it but I can’t get it to work. I called up Boris and nobody there could answer my question. I posted a question on the Creative Cow Boris forum and no one answered me there either.

I told you about CGM on your last post.
Not like them? I think they are very good.

I went to the web site and liked what I saw but they didn’t have a plug-in listed to do what I need to do. I am looking for a substitution for the motion tab. basically scaling, translation and rotation on the x,y and z axis.
If CGM has a plug in for that I couldn’t find it.

I concur that the DVE isn’t sufficent, that is why I was hoping to find a plug in that will do the trick. If I need to do complex composites I would probably do that in After Effects but right now I just want something that will do a basic squeeze back or fly some text around without degrading the image so much. I am going to try Boris and A/B them. If it looks substaintially better I will write a post on my findings.
