From the little bit of behavior you’ve noted in the post…I am wondering what the network/server performance is?

As far as the AE comp not seeing a server that PPro does…I’m not sure I understand what you’re describing.

[Tim Kolb]

Yeah…the screen caps aren’t really showing the difference you’re asking about…

If you are exporting in a QuickTime (.mov) wrapper, just change the export target to an H.264 (.mp4) wrapper.

If you are working with really subtle color gradiations, etc, it will help to check the max quality box in the export settings.

I suspect if you used ‘delete’ instead of ‘extract’ you’d be fine.

The clipboard only holds what you picked up last.

If I am understanding your situation correctly, my first recommendation would be to duplicate the sequence (in the project panel right-click the sequence, etc…rename the new sequence appropriately…) and then you can take the new sequence and delete the material you don’t want, leaving only the clips in the positions you want, allowing you to now work with those clips, either as a nested sequence added to another sequence, or you could select-copy them and paste them into another sequence.

Is that useful?

While the AAF format isn’t particularly feature-rich (universal compatibility requires simplicity), I can’t say I’ve had a problem like the one you’re experiencing.

This sounds a bit like timecode formats with different interpretations. What type of files were in the original project and what were the frame rates?

[Tim Kolb]

I see an indication there is an ‘ease’ of some kind at the end of the move…I do get some pretty weird results when PPro defaults to ‘Auto Bezier’…particularly when there is more than one parameter changing.

Can you try taking those last keyframes and making sure that their temporal interpolation is set to ‘ease in’ and the spatial interpolation is set to ‘linear’ and see if that cleans it up?

[Tim Kolb]

It sounds like the problem is tied to the specific sequence. If you just copy the entirety of the content and make a fresh sequence and paste it in…does it still demonstrate the problem?

[Tim Kolb]

The anchor point should default to the center…you shouldn’t have to move it there. I am not certain from your post what kind of move you’re talking about. Are you rotating in the Effect Controls panel…or using the Basic 3D effect to move the clip in some way?

…or is this a transition?

[Tim Kolb]

The sometimes shy dissolve has been an issue for some number of versions. I’ve been a PPro user for…a while…and I still have difficulty duplicating it sufficiently to troubleshoot it. I use Macs and Windows machines daily and have run into this on certain occasions. I’ve found it to often show up on alpha graphics that you simply want to fade in/out on an upper V track.

One thing I can recommend in recent versions…if something simply is inexplicably refusing to work…save the project. I find this often clears what appears to be some kind of limitation in working memory perhaps? (I have pretty big RAM machines and I allocate generously to Adobe…so it isn’t inherently limited there…but I do often have other apps open, etc. )

As an aside, I flip back and forth on PPro/AE, etc. between Windows and Mac everyday…they each have their frustrations and merits.
