haha. We have 15+ systems that I’m trying to organize. Pulling that many CS3 boxes out of staorage and trying to match them to a system isn’t very practical.

or do that 🙂

Done this before, quick and easy. Close AE. If you’re on a Mac go to User>Library and move the Fonts Folder to your desktop. Go to Hard Drive>Library and move that Fonts folder to an new folder on your desktop. Open the AE project and it will tell you all the fonts that are missing. You can also do the same thing for plugins. Put the Fonts folders back where you got them. If you’re on a PC you’ll have to ask someone else where the Font folder is 🙂 same rules apply though.

Could this be your actual problem?

If so, there’s no solution yet

Are the 2 shots comped together as one, changing position and motion blur applied? that’ll blend frames between cuts

Paste this link together if it’s broken
You want an A keyframe at the start of the move a B keyframe at the end of the move an A keyframe at the start of the next move (must be in the same position as the previous B keyframe) a B keyframe at the end of the move etc

One of the CSI openings uses something like this and I use it a lot, it’s very simple, but wont work if you want absolute perfection. create a garbage matte around different parts of the curtain. Just use the luminance levels that your eye sees. ususally that gives you a good idea of what is “closer” or “farther away”. For a body, and depending on where the text is and where body parts are, I’ll create a very rough matte for the stomach, waist and both arms, feather them a little, then use them to reveal or hide the text, the text is ususally moving at such a speed that there is no tracking or roto involved. Not perfect, but very quick, and most people wonder how you pulled a key from the shot.

If you’re doing a million colors + , then you’re also outputting an alpha chanel. Is it supposed to have an alpha chanel and is the alpha chanel correct? Is the alpha interpreted correctly in FCP? Also, you could have a strange Working Space set in your Project settings.

Hey, on one of your layers you have a mask selected. The white box appears when you have a mask selected and the selection tool is selected. It’s allowing you to select specific points on the mask. Select any layer and it’ll go back to normal.
Sorry, ignore that, I didn’t read your entire post to begin with

Hey, thanks. Unfortunately this gamma shift isn’t a color space problem, this is something that has been a problem for quite some time between FCP and AE. Why Apple and Adobe can’t sort this out is beyond me and it seems to be even worse with Red footage. There are quite a few threads about this problem so we probably shouldn’t start another one. But if you’re interested in it check out this thread

or google FCP AE color shift
