Hum, still not quite like the white diffusion :(.

Thanks for the help though

[Steve]

Yeah I thought of that too, it just brightens the layer.

Thanks anyways though, any other tips from you expects ? 🙂

Crazy Mylenium double posting on the forums :), thanks for the reply (ies), good to know. Who knows, maybe next time I’m working in fusion I’ll turn the viewport off until the final render haha 🙂

[Steve]

Thanks for answerring that Mylenium, I had a feeling you would jump into the question since I know you’ve had experience with a variety of apps (in 3d at least). And just one small little question, does the node or layer based procedure have anything to do with the cpu/ram usage?

[Steve]

I wouldnt know what to answer, but when ever I right click on a video file, my pc makes that sound like when you connect new hardware, and I believe that’s related to my monitor.

[Steve]

I would opt for the batch sequence, handling filmstrips can get pretty heavy (or maybe its because my pc is horrible)

[Steve]

I’m gonna have to give that a try

[Steve]

really? i thought .ogg was the standard file format for video captures from the new handheld cameras with harddrives on them (my friend has a jvc or panasonic with 30 gig HD and if I recall they were imported with an ogg extension)

the converter ( i searched in google: ogg to avi )

As for AE hating file types or lacking in file recognition, I have to dissagree, because although it does suck a little bit that AE loves uncompressed, quicktime and aiff files and hates compressed avi (divx, xvid to name a few) and mp3 (I had problems with radium codec),you have to give it props for still importing them, even if it doesn’t always work. Most high end compositors only import image sequence so… anyways my 2 cents.

that should send you in the right direction, just play around with fractals and ull get it. but it wont be realistic, that’s a for sure, the closest thing to reality would be to use particle illusion or maya fluids, but even then you can tell it’s cgi

[Steve]

as far as i know … no. sorry to dissapoint, best thing to do would be to render out your compositions uncompressed and transfer them to each other via email, ftp, dvd rom or what ever you want, sorry to be the bearer of bad news (correct me if im wrong though)
