Quick poll: What's your favorite spill suppression utility or trick?=20


Since a lot of our work requires us to use what comes 'in the box' with AE,=
 I've been relying on old ways and using a focused range of colors in the H=
ue/Saturation effect, and admit to falling behind on any new entries (or fo=
rgotten about old standbys).=20


thanks in advance -=20

I opened System Pref Security and change the preference from Mac App Store =

This allowed the downloaded Cuda drivers to run. I thought the annoying blo=

Once I installed the updated drivers, the video ran in PremPro (CS) with GP=

There's a System Pref for Security in 10.8 that you many need to train or t=

There's a 10.8.2 update.=20

You have to been in GPU/Hardware mode for it to work. But I=E2=80=99ve test=

Hello all,=20


I remember some discussions of adding a 2 pixel vertical blur to reduce ali=
asing in SD video. Any recommended choice of blurs? Fast blur, Gaussian any=
 other favorite filters?=20

I am using AE to scale 1 minute PSA spots from HD (1920x1080i ProRes QT) to=
 letter box NTSC (720x 486 QT ProRes).=20

AE CS6 delivers good quality results. There is occasional NTSC aliasing alo=
ng diagonal lines in the video. It was suggested to try adding a slight blu=
r to improve the end results.=20
