    The simplest way would be using Trapcode 3D Stroke. But how realistic you want it to be is always the question.

    The big problem with Fat is its 2 GB file size limit. I would start with a fresh install of AE.

    Other things to check for would be the drive cable, you could even use the manufacturer’ s drive diagnostic software to check things out. If this is a new issue and none of these solve it, you may have to do a clean system install.

    Matthew,

    It really depends on the type of effects / filters you are using. In general, anything non vector based will render as full image frames and you basically would almost be better of with a flash movie.

  • Stefan,

    You can. The problem is that LCD are hard to callibrate correctly, if they can be calibrated at all. And if you are working in standard def NTSC, you probably won’t catch problem areas until you burn a DVD. A broadcast monitor through firewire or otherwise is always best.

    In many cases, a CRT computer monitor is still better than an LCD as well.

    Are the accents out of whack, or the entire text. You could try pasting into notepad, saving as a txt file, re-open and try to copy and paste again into the titler from Notepad.

  • For the best Quicktime quality (Quite a large size).

    Choose export> Movie

    In settings > General (left tab) Choose file type: Quicktime

    Under Video (Left tab), choose compressor: animation. Quality 100%

    Cheers,

    In addition to all of Steve’s great advice…

    You can try adding some yellow in the backlight to minimize the blue spill. That’s especially true if your talent has to be near the screen, although keylight can usually remove a good amount of it.

    A waveform monitor will be indispensable if you want to achieve good results. As a rule you will like to match the levels on the back wall to that of your key.

    As Steve mentioned even lighting on the screen is one the most important aspect, as well as keeping shadows out.

    And even though it’s unrelated to lighting, it’s never said enough, stay away from DV !

    Cheers,
