My apologies I forgot to ask about why keyframes are not laid down for the layers attached to parent layer. They move in space as well but only keyframe registered is for the parent. Where as if I had not done any parenting and just used the shift key to highlight (or group) the layers in the timeline when one layer is moved and keyframe registered all the highlighted layers get a keyframe.

thanks for the info Brandon, actually only five seconds of a minute long project is the AE footage I;m talking about. This rest if DV footage as well as HD 24p720 footage but from posts in the archive it sounds like all of this will work in the FCP with animation settings. That sound right to you?

I did render out of AE using animation and uncompressed 8bit to try a couple out. My FCP project is DV in settings but it’s my reel so various types of footage, dv, hd(24p at 720), and this AE footage. It sounds like from the post that and another past post I read in archive I can set my FCP project to animation preference and it will function fine. Is that correct?

Also thanks for pointing out the monitor vs. screen issue. Since posting this problem I read up on you past post of the monitor importance for quality standards. I won’t be able to work on this until tonight but I will do I dvdstudio dvd burn test and see what it plays like on tv.

Thanks for the replies.

thanks for the advice, I went back today and opened the file and the stroke mask option performs the way it should without me having to open in seperate layer(good solution though) don’t know what the deal was the other day.

Thanks for the advice everybody. I went with the ring of cows route and it works for the style of animation I’m using for this project. Thanks.

I haven’t done anything to the pixel ratio in photoshop. I have exported a still image jpeg from FCP sequence and then just tried opening them in photoshop.

Is the fact I’m trying to use IDVD the problem. I have dvdstudiopro. If using that will I be able to export the FCP sequence as a regular HD QTmovie and the dvd studio pro will do the proper recompression and scaling?
