Those symbols are called IPA, for “International Phonetic Alphabet”. Start here:

AE doesn’t like HDV, since HDV (and other MPEG flavours) uses an interframe codec and AE doesn’t like those, since it has to generate frames by looking at other frames to compile the data. It like intraframe codecs and formats, such as Animation, Photo-JPEG, TGA, PNG, 8-bit uncompressed and Motion-JPEG. Convert your footage into one of those formats before importing it into AE.

Card Dance will move cards on the Z axis. Look for “Z position” in the Card Dance controls.

[Brian Charles] “Depends on what other colors are present in the video. Green and blue are the most common colors to key against because human skin tones (no matter what race) are unaffected.”
Yes. I’d add that the background had better appear highly saturated to the camera. It may be pink paper, but if you don’t light it so it looks like a saturated pink (magenta), you’ll get grays in it which will start to blend with grays in your subject.
But for Caucasian and other light-skinned people, it’s a very bad idea. For dark-skinned people, it’s risky. Unless you’re shooting green or blue objects on the paper, don’t use it.

Yeah, AE is pretty anal about 24/23.98/23.976.
If it’s video or telecined film, it’s 23.976, since:
30 X 0.8 = 24
29.97 X 0.8 = 23.976Anyway, try out Dave’s recommendations. Let us know.

What’s your contact info, Bill?
I can fire off a post to the old MOGRATO mailing list – that should get you some nibbles.
