I am assuming you are referring to a DVD which is burned to play on a TV DVD player (not a data dvd). If you open the DVD file, you will notice that it is not a single file, such as an avi or Quicktime. There are several folders with mupltiple files in each folder. These files can not be simiply dropped into a timeline. You will need to connect a DVD player to your computer (if it has the proper connetions), or use a passthrough device on your digital video camera (if your camera supports it).
OR
You will need to obtain software as listed above to convert the multiple file structures of mpeg2 to a single file source such as avi or Quicktime.
This is not as simple as you might think. I made the mistake a few years ago by creating my DVD’s and tossing all of the source footage. I now back up all of my projects back to tape on the video camera. If I need to reuse a part of the video, I just put the tape in the camera and re-capture.

I keep checking back. It is not up anymore. I wonder if it was a mistake. It was only on the website for about 3 hours.

I did a quick test of a short clip of the slide show. De-interlacing in PP improved it alot. I typically do not De-interlace. Is there a downside to doing it?

There is a tutorial on this site called, Super Tight Junk Matte by Aarhon Rabinowitz. It uses Trace Edges. It should do what you need. I use this with most of my chroma keys now.

I finally found the answer near the end of the book, “Creating Motion Graphics”

I as able to export the white streaks and add the hue and saturation in Photoshop. The glow part does not look as good as it did in AE. I am still open to ways to export it properly from AE.

I was trying to put a person in behind the light streaks. I could not find a way to get the person to not be affected by the adjustment layer. I tried every possible way with pre-composing and many others ways.
I really just need one frame of video. I am using the streaks in a poster (made the comp 3,000 x 3,000). I thought I would be able to export an alpha rendered frame if I dropped out the background. When I dropped the background, I lost the color and glow. I got only white streaks. I want just the streaks and glow on an alpha channel to put into Photoshop.
How do I render out the streaks and glow as a single frame with alpha channel?

I am sending a QT file to someone on a CD. I want to choose the codec which will give me the best quality for a 7 min video at 720 x 540 and can fit on a CD and will be able to be decoded by an average to above average computer.
