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 Hue/Saturation effect, and admit to falling behind on any new entries (or forgotten about old standbys). thanks in advance - Chris ________________________________________________ Chris Meyer | Crish Design http://www.crishdesign.com On Feb 9, 2013, at 5:49 PM, Red Truck wrote: Good to know.

There's a System Pref for Security in 10.8 that you many need to train or toggle to accept installs from nVidia. Hard to believe nVidia isn't on the list of trusted sites. There's a 10.8.2 update.

You have to been in GPU/Hardware mode for it to work. But I’ve tested this at theater screen sizes and it is superior.

Hello all, I remember some discussions of adding a 2 pixel vertical blur to reduce aliasing in SD video. Any recommended choice of blurs? Fast blur, Gaussian any other favorite filters? I am using AE to scale 1 minute PSA spots from HD (1920x1080i ProRes QT) to letter box NTSC (720x 486 QT ProRes). AE CS6 delivers good quality results. There is occasional NTSC aliasing along diagonal lines in the video. It was suggested to try adding a slight blur to improve the end results. Robert Alsop |
