More specifics, please.

Comp settings?
Codec in output module?

Maybe your comp settings are not appropriate for your codec?

I purge every time the green bar (frames in RAM) disappears in the timeline which happens after I make a big enough change to the project and before I make a new RAM preview. If the green bar is there, and it will form the bulk of the preview that I’m going to make, I don’t purge unless RAM is low.

AFAIK, purging all purges everything in that purge menu. However, to really clean things up, I’ve found that you need to quit and relaunch AE occasionally.

Heh … “bubba” …

Steichenlab in Toronto can scan at over 5400 pixels per side. https://www.steichenlab.com/pages/scan.htm . Look for the “64 base” figures at the top left.

Maybe you need a different scanning shop.

Is your work area set to longer than 4 frames?
Do you purge RAM (edit>purge image caches) regularly?

72 dpi or ppi is meaningless with respect to television. 72 dpi would mean that your TV is always 10 inches wide by 6.6 inches.

What matters (in non-print applications) is the final size of your scan in pixels. You should ask for the resolution (dpi or ppi) that will give you that pixel size. If your film is 2.25 inches each side, and you want, say, an image that is 2250×2250 pixels, you scan at 1000 dpi.

2.25 x 1000 = 2250.

If you scanned at 150 dpi, your image would only be 338 pixels on each side. I don’t think that’s what you want.

So begin with the end in mind (pixels), then choose a dpi value that will give you that size in pixels.

If the null is behaving strangely, you might
a) have the parenting backwards: The camera layer should, under the “parent” coloumn, display the null layer.
b) have the expression backwards. The expression should be in the camera layer in the timeline.

Does that help?
