Hey Jon,
thanks for the quick response. I started yuor approach and this seems the most efficient way to do this.

Cool,
thanks for your input Jan. I think your method sounds like the way to go, especially as a starter for HD monitoring.

Thanks for all your help on this. Cheers!

HI DANIEL,
I just edit the artboards prior to importing the .AI into AE. Got to Document Setup, then edit artboards in Illustrator.

Hope that helps

Cool,
thanks for your 2cents on this guys. These are both good options.

Jan:
The blackmagic intensity and consumer grade HDTV runs about 1k for 8bit through HDMI. Not too shabby for a starter option. How does it look to your eyes? Much gradient / color banding with the 8-bit output through regular HDMI?

Jason:
I’m checking out the matrox mini and it seems like a good product. Runs about 800 it seems, and seems very easy a mobile like you said for client work in other offices. Quick question, the matrox mini boasts 10-bit playback through HDMI, but I was under the impression that all HDMI input/output is 8-bit? Am I mistaken?

Regardless, thanks for your two cents!

Hi Jeff,
my reccomendation would be to key the people, then use the Mosaic effect to get the pixelation.

Then maybe tweak to taste with the types of colors you want coming out of the pixels. Hope that helps.

Can’t say that I have Dave, but would love to. I do a lot of work in corporate video, some independant doc and narrative, and a good amount of video advertisements that end up on the web. Haven’t broken out into much motion Design work for TV, but would love to.

If you friend is ever in need of some motion graphics work I’d love to contact him.

Cheers, and thanks again for your suggestions today,

That’s good advice. I think I will join him for a beer.

Haven’t been to the Goose Island on Clyborne in a while, and I’ve never heard of a better excuse!

Cheers boys! thanks for all you help,

Thanks for your quick responses on this.

Trust me, if I could take over the whole process and be involved for each step, I would be. I am simply part of a chain, as is often the case with After Effects Artists.

That being said, I will take it as a wake up call to try and take more control of future projects.

Unfortunately, the reality is that my job is to send straight alpha channels to people who may not know what’s up. On a technical level the gobbledygook is “irrelevant.” But on a practical level it’s not irrelevant when the client is looking at it.

What would you do in my situation?

Hey man…that’s better than nothing! I really appreciate your quick response and help on it. I’ve been talking to people on other threads and I thought it was an issue of audio conforms being messed in the middle of the conforming process. So logically kill the media cache and force Premiere to re-conform the audio.

Didn’t work. I’ll keep you updated if I get any luck. Thanks again
