Yes, starting a dialogue would be good. Sometimes it’s just a misunderstanding. 🙂

If the bullet is moving, its perspective will change. Its shape will change. For that you’ll need a 3D bullet in a 3D application, or Zaxwerks.
Right now, you have a flat picture of a bullet. Lighting in AE won’t change its shape or give it a third dimension. We all have to accept that AE works with flat planes floating in space.

You mean “3D objects”?
Yes.

Heather, here are some notes for you:
1. the interlacing would appear because you chose to render the motion *that AE created* as fields. If you made the layers move, you’d see interlacing on an interlaced render.
2. If you used all Illustrator sources, and rendered interlaced, the entire thing should be interlaced where there is motion. If only one portion of the spot is interlaced, I can only assume that something happened between you and the client.
3. Choosing a filed order should not be a crap shoot. The hardware that converts computer to tape has a very specific requirement for field order. Ask the editor who receives your material what he wants from you: lower first or upper first. If they say “odd” or “even” (bugger) tell them that DV is lower, so what do they call that, odd or even?
4. … but you don’t have to render interlaced at all. I haven’t done it in years. Rendering with no fields )progressive) is perfectly acceptable from a technical standpoint, and gives a look that I prefer, personally.
5. But as in #3, if you do render with fields, you must know which field order you’re choosing and why. It’s not a crap shoot (as in “try this, try that”). Always ask the editor what he/she needs from you. It’s your due diligence as a professional.
6. See if you can buy Chris and Trish Meyer’s Videosyncrasies disc.Hope that helps …

No, that’s not 10,000 layers. It would be a particle system, possibly Particular, or maybe a 3D app.

Where do they play back too fast? In which app?
Maybe some files were interpreted at the wrong frame rate in AE?At any rate, we need to trace:
1) at which point the files started going wrong (AE? QT Player? FCP?),
2) what’s the difference between the ones that work and the ones that don’t. -
Nope.
You need to buy or download Mac versions of the plugs. Now for some plugs, you can download the mac version and your serial number will work, but I don’t remember which work that way. You’ll have to look up the plugin developers.

Yeah, only Jerzy can pull it off. 🙂

Sorry, but “HD format” isn’t specific enough.
In addition to Dave’s questions, are you delivering to:
HD-DVD? Blu-Ray?
HDCAM tape?
Some other format? Please be specific. -
Did you try the Kona COW forum?
