Bob,

In this job I had a targa sequence and seeing a folder with thousands of images is what freaked me out. I will do some more research to become more familiar with these files.

Thanks again, Todd

Thanks Bob.

What I have is an intro with the old logo (created in AE) this logo fades out and the new logo fades in and goes behind a piece of machinery (all created with .tga files). I figured a workaround by replacing the old AE logo clip with an AE clip of the new logo matching the .tga logo animation. I then ended the AE file just as the logo goes behind the equipment. Wow, that sounds much more confusing than it is. In the end, it worked and that’s what matters.

Another quick question if I could. The .tga files, I am assuming they were created with some other animation software and exported out to an AE usable format (.tga)? I have never come across Targa files before (but I am new at this).

Thanks again for your help, Todd

Thanks, I’ll give it a try.

I added .mov to the file, changed the opening app. to FCP in the get info box and updated each file individually and now it’s working. It’s a pain to do and very time consuming but I couldn’t get it to recognize the files any other way. Thanks for all the help. If you know of an easier way to accomplish this please let me know.

The drive is formated for Mac. I have tried changing the “open with” to QuickTime in the “get info” box but FCP is still not recognizing the files. I have even gone so far as to add .mov to the end of the file names. When I do this, they look like QT files, they play fine in QT and FCP sees them but will not use the file to update the missing clips. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I have an XL1s but I don’t think it has the connectors I need.

Thanks for the information. It helps alot. The Quicktime route sounds like it may be the best/cheapest option. What do you think about geting the spots on DVCam tape, do the tagging in FCP and outputting to the uncompressed QT? Do you add slates and countdown to the front of your QT?

Is it better to pan center or should I copy the track and pan one left and the other right? Thanks for the info.

I have installed everything on the disk and they are still missing. I bought this when 6.5 was first released, maybe that is the problem. I hope to start using AE on jobs before long anyway so I think I will go ahead and buy the commercial version of AE7.
Thanks for the help.

I went through all of the extras and don’t see the installer. I hate to sound stupid but can you tell what folder it might be in? I am working through a tutorial book and have the education version but it is supposed to be complete. Thanks for the help.
