Thanks for checking that out.
I guess my question now is, “what does precomposing the text do that gives better results than just the text tool alone?”

I think I used the wrong url. Here is the picture.

I hosted the picture on Flickr. When I right click on where it should be and hit view image it sends me to flickr to see the picture. I’ll try again shortly.

Ok, here goes. The text in question is in the upper right corner. The top is AE text, the next is AE text precomped and the bottom is just a photoshop layer.
thanks,
Steve

Are there any other hardware recommendations from you guys out there?

I’ve experimented with Compressors distributed encoding, but haven’t really integrated it into our workflow. What is the best way to set it up for this application (h.264 encoding)? How does it break up the job? With after effects’ watch folder system it seems to farm out different timelines unless you render to an image sequence, is compressor similar?

Not having seen your original footage I couldn’t say for sure, but I would guess that you wouldn’t get the “wavyness” on the edge. You could have the so called “jaggies”, but if you turn up the screen softness a little that should help. If you keep tweaking keylight you can probably pull an acceptable key.

Here’s a good start in keylight.

Agreed. It is definitely not preferrable. I use one of the older wireless keyboards at work, but I don’t haul it back and forth to my house, so I end up doing a lot of late night editing with the MBP keyboard. It is a pain.

Are you using “fn” and the letter “m” which is the “number pad” equivalent to 0 on the mbp? I think that should work.
