I forgot to mention this months ago, but this was exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!

I use FCP7, but when I do lower thirds I either just make them in FCP (if really simple ones needed), but mainly I make them in After Effects or Cinema 4D. Ventured into Motion territory almost on a whim, today!

Oops I figured it out, you can’t paste directly onto the lower third, you have to paste into the text box in the Inspector. Then it maintains the font/size from the motion project. It was simple!
Thanks, though, Stephen, see you back at the film forum!

Scratch that, I went in and deleted FX Factory plug-ins from the Adobe programs (I only use them in FCP anyway), and now Encore opens fine. Had kind of a “duhhhh” moment there.
Thanks Scott!
Love,

I don’t know if I really agree with using Facebook to really judge anyone either. Not that an employer would see it because I have privacy settings amped up, but as a guy in his 20s, not everything that I post on Facebook is appropriate, nor are the comments and posts that my 20-something friends post. That’s personal banter between friends. I would feel violated if I was being judged for something like that. Because despite what may or may not be on my Facebook page, I am the utmost professional at work, I work hard, and I do everything in my power to make myself a value to my company.
Luckily we also have a pretty loose environment at the office as well, but even so, I have not friended anyone from work on Facebook (and will not). Or anyone in my family! The way my privacy settings are set up, judging me on the conversations on my FB account would be like standing outside my door when I’m hanging out with my friends and eavesdropping.
Now, like Mark said, if you’re dumb enough to have, say, a picture of yourself shirtless outside a bar, holding a joint, with blood on your knuckles; with a caption that says “typical tuesday night with the gang” then yeah, I wouldn’t hire that guy either.
I suppose it’s hard if you’re a business owner and you want to hire the most appropriate, functional employees. And having all this access to their personal information is a nice tool to possibly judge some character, but I maintain that people can act differently around their friends than they do at work. Not that I’m doing anything particularly bad in my personal life, but it’s much different than work, to say the least.
But if you put that info out there, then it’s all fair game for people to look at it, I guess.

Three hundred dollars!
Wow, Final Cut X is cheap
Don’t hire high school kid -
Change green font to red?
Why that’s no problem at all:
Long renders are fun! -
The Empire Carpet Guy, Bob Roooooooooooohrman, and the Eagle-Man are forever a part of me.

Nevermind, found out the artifacting (not banding, wrong word) problem is the caps not being quadrangles with low width.
And I think the edges problem is in the original Illustrator map document.
If you happened to look at it, thanks anyway!

Yeah I definitely didn’t have the HDR in the color channel, but it’s there now, and I was able to lower the brightness. And I replaced the polygon sphere (not sure why I made it a polygon object to be honest) with a regular sphere, since the bottom part is a different object altogether, so that looks better too when I do single frame renders. I’ll try the soft edge reflection when I render it again, and see how that looks next.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
