Re type for FCP HD 4.5

[animal]

Mark: I'm submitting Tiff stills and doing the dissolves via photoshop.

But you bring up a great point.  Most of the $ they are charging is for 
the rendering - they're using FCP HD 4.5 now.  I'm going to start a new 
message re what I'd need for rendering?

Thanks Lynn


If the final thing is going
out to TIFF anyway, just use TIFFs.  Are you rendering the dissolves
yourself for the TIFF output?  Or just supplying the TIFFs as stills to 
the
HD place doing the film output?  You might be able to do that...  
Although
with the money you'd pay them to do it you could probably buy yourself a
copy of After Effects and you could render it yourself...

Or if you have Final Cut Pro (any version, I believe) you could make a
custom project at the full resolution you're outputting to and use FCP 
to
render the titles...
