Avoid Import Blues for After Effects
Thursday, July 24 ,2008
Import Tips
- Double-Click in the AE Project Window
- Shift-Click Multiple Items
- Organize in Folder and Option+Drag (Alt+Drag) from Desktop
- Keep file names less than 27 characters long
Photoshop
- Assign unique names to each layer
- Avoid using layer sets unless you want the layers to come in as a nested composition
- If layers are not needed, reduce your render burden by importing as a flattened file such as a PICT, TIFF or TARGA
- If you have applied an adjustment layer in Photoshop such as Levels, consider applying the effect directly to the individual layers in Photoshop instead
Illustrator
- Be sure to use layers in Adobe Illustrator to split up elements
- Change AI preferences to use AICB format (not PDF) for proper Copy/Paste

New Presentation Posted on Video Podcasting
Saturday, December 09 ,2006
I've edited together the highlights from a recent class on video podcasting. If you attended my class at Digital Media DC, then this is the advanced notes. If you couldn't attend, then this is the next best thing. If you open this file in iTunes you can see the slides change in sync with the audio. If the slides are not visible, click the Show Artwork button in the lower left corner then click the slide thumbnail to go full-screen. You can also see the slides if you put the file on an iPod with a screen. I hope you enjoy and find the presentation useful.
