hmmmm not exactly sure what I can do about that. The videos are full HD resolution, you could just shrink your player down, if your using quicktime you can hit CTRL-0 to goto half size…

hope that helps

Not sure how much this will help, but you could try this

To move from final cut into after effects. I would be interested to know how it works with FC 5.1.4. Honestly I don’t know much about the problem your having… just know this should get your work into AE from final cut.

Also if there are any changes I could make to this to speed up your process that would correct your color issues, lemme know!

hehe goodluck on the Apple Pro Res 🙂 Don’t see that working out too well soon! Also probably wont see too much in the flash/quicktime world coming up too soon either.

But as a actionscripter lemme tell ya being able to load quicktime movies is huge.

Sadly I think all your getting is bug fixes 🙂 but hey I will take em! And then go rent some HD movies hehe

A big deal for me, is this update seems to have fixed a lot of the vista/quicktime problems I have been having at work.

Yes, sorry I should have made that more clear

This script does require CS3 as adobe upgraded to a better version of the javascript interpreter. This allows much better manipulation of an XML Object. Using E4X. Sorry again for not posting that.

oh yeah forgot there was a slider… here ya go

var slider_val = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)

if(slider_val != 0){
holdTime = .2; //time to hold each position (seconds)
var current_time = time% holdTime;
seed = Math.floor(time/holdTime);
seedRandom(seed,true);
multiplier = random(0,slider_val );
if(current_time < holdTime/2){ amount =transform.scale[0]+ linear(current_time, 0, holdTime/2, 0, multiplier); }else{ amount =transform.scale[0]+ linear(current_time, holdTime/2, holdTime, multiplier, 0); } [amount ,amount ]; }else{ [value[0], value[1]] } -ross

sumthing like this?

holdTime = .2; //time to hold each position (seconds)
var current_time = time% holdTime;

seed = Math.floor(time/holdTime);
seedRandom(seed,true);
multiplier = random(1,-20);
if(current_time < holdTime/2){ amount =transform.scale[0]+ linear(current_time, 0, holdTime/2, 0, multiplier); }else{ amount =transform.scale[0]+ linear(current_time, holdTime/2, holdTime, multiplier, 0); } [amount ,amount ]; -ross

Its little known… but using the same flourish three times in a project will upset the balance of good and evil and cause a rip in the space time continuum, thus causing flourishes to freeze in there fully flourished state… sorry man… just physics… einstein’s fault..

Actually.. that sounds really odd just for the heck of it.. What if you made a whole new empty project… added the flourish, if thats working fine.. save the project. Then import that project into your main one… See if the flourish works…

Could there be a proxy setup? Accidentally?

Sorry I know its a stretch but its hard to troubleshoot without seeing it..

If your in AE7, you can check on Maltaanon’s tutorial. Should give you a good heads up

hehe well I guess it could be an interesting marketing ploy to remove the script from the internet in 2/08, “get it now… or it will be lost… forever….”
but not really something I could see myself doing. 🙂

The script itself will timeout so you will not be able to use it anymore. Which also means a new script will be up online by the end of January. This will keep going until this thing is stable enough to be a real release and I can just let it go.

There are so many possibilities in final cut xml, that debugging this on my own is a nightmare. So in order to help with that.. I will release beta’s with timeouts to try to catch the bugs. This way I don’t have to be worried about someone submitting a bug from a version way back, I can manage problems a lot easier.

Then again if there are no problems with this one I will just kill the timeout and re-release it 🙂 but somehow life never seems to work out that way….

Once it is solid I will just do a final release of like version 1.0. Hope that makes sense…

If someone REALLY needs a copy of this script without the timeout, that hasn’t been fully worked out, let me know. I am sure I can work something out… but I don’t recommend it..

thanks for checking it out

hmm you made a banner… in after effects… that seems like it could be some trouble to me… then again maybe its all vector and the file size isn’t bad…

Anyways. It is not possible in after effects to make any code. I do believe it is possible to just put an anchor tag around your flash object to make the whole think link somewhere else.

If your able and willing to import your SWF into the flash IDE the code to make a click is not very hard, but i am not sure if thats an option.
