Hmmm... I put this thing together on DVD and I get these strange transition artifacts when I play it back on the computer. When I play back on the TV... I get a different set of problems all together. Blooming? And some strange clipping of the actual graphics...like for some reason there is a black square floating around. Also all my blacks don't seem black, even though they are the same value. Everything is from AE output to QT using either Animation or DVpro codecs. So I guess the question is: Is there any easy way to take multiple sources and somehow level out the levels... sound and picture (luma?) Or does each need to be tweaked as necessary? tia M ________________ Matthew Guemple Art Director/03 mo.og at verizon.net 646.734.6601 www.gridd.com http://www.creativehotlist.com/ index.asp?linkTarget=fullProfile.asp&indID=19599
