Yep, it sounds as if your machine doesn’t have the necessary codec.

Did you search the COW for KCHR? I seem to remember this came up once or twice. If not, try Googling.

It’s there under “keys for moving around windows”. Not where I expected to find it …
I use PageUp, PageDown. Add shift for 10-frame step.

Not a dumb question. It’s hard to find the right search terms for this.
Just click the first button in the group of five at the top of the timeline window to enable dynamic updates.

Maybe a script that does this:
1. render as TGA sequence
2. import those TGAs into AE as separate files
3. load those TGAs into a comp
4. render that comp as a layered PSD?One for the wizards … not me. I just restate the problem. 🙂

Hmph.
Can you send the project to ads (at) reidroberts (dot) com?

You’re limited by the resolution of your delivery platform.
DVD is designed for 720×480 playback at about 30 fps from a disc. As a result, compromises are made regarding image quality. Until HD-DVDs (and players) are available, the best way to squeeze quality out of a DVD is to make sure your source is high-quality (animation codec), then compress to MPEG-2 (it’s necessary) at the highest data rate your player will support. Post at the COW DVD forum for more info.
As for hard drive playback, you can try 640×480 Quicktime Photo-JPEG or Windows Media (WMV). You might be able to make a larger file, but you’re still limited by the speed of the playback device. The average hard drive can only spin and read so fast, so you should test various frame sizes and compression scehems (codecs) until you find something that your presentation hard drive can play back smoothly.
Heck, everything looks better (except talent!) at higher resolution, but as I said, compromises are still necessary due to the speed of the currently available playback devices. RAID arrays can play back HD full-frame, full-rate, but they are expensive. Medea offers a selection.
Anybody else?
