February 22, 2010 at 6:56 pm in reply to: Change PAR of project without ruining work that’s already doneSo I’m a bit confused now as to which resolution is actually preferred for widescreen content on the web. Not 864×486 then?
Pushing that aside for a sec, any thoughts on the original issue? Is there a way to change my 0.91 pixel aspect ratio to square pixels without mucking everything up, or do I just need to re-do it?

February 22, 2010 at 3:02 pm in reply to: Change PAR of project without ruining work that’s already doneYes, I started in 4:3 and need to move to 16:9.
However, everything that happens on-screen happens in the middle, in switching to 16:9 I need only to have the (black) background extended. All of the text can just remain in the middle, looking the same. I guess in that sense, the pixel aspect ratio change is what’s causing issues, not the resolution change (since as far as I can tell, AE just stretches the background when you change the resolution, which is fine by me).
The issue here is this project is for a web video, and the person doing the editing in the video editor (I’m just doing the title intros and segues in AE) is using square pixels and was complaining that when importing my titles, they have jaggy edges (which I’m assuming is because mine are not in square pixels).

January 21, 2010 at 1:12 am in reply to: Output settings for web upload (videos coming out dark on web)Yeah mine looks fine on light scenes (which it looks like most of your video is), it’s dark scenes that are the real problem.
I am also using Sony AVC. Compare these two screenshots, which each have a section of my video side by side in vegas and in youtube.

January 15, 2010 at 6:03 pm in reply to: Using true 3d text after creating it with the shatter effectShatter has an extrusion depth, which provides close enough to the effect I’m looking for when I just scrub the timeline for the camera position past the text.
It does more and more seem like this whole “shatter” thing is just too much of a hack to actually apply any real effects to, so I’m going to look around for a demo for that zaxwerks invigorator 3D plugin to see if it’s worth the 400 bucks. I’ve heard some tutorials complaining that the 3D text created in plug-ins loses some stuff as well, but I’ll check it out.

January 15, 2010 at 5:59 pm in reply to: Using true 3d text after creating it with the shatter effectWhen I disable it for previewing, the “separating” issue still happens when previewing, so I’d imagine it would be the same when rendering if I disable it rendering.
I’ll double check to make sure when I get a few free minutes later today, but I don’t see why it would be different for that if disable for preview doesn’t fix it in the preview.
