Hey guys, Me Again.


So I spent an hour or so on this file in photo shop. I used the stamp tool, eraser, blur tool, and paintbrush. (maybe a few others)

I went to import it into Final Cut Pro HD, and it looks like crap. When it is still in Photoshop, it looks great, but when in Final Cut, all the areas I used the stamp and blur on are totally pixelated and crappy looking.

Any ideas?

Nevermind, I figured it out.

If anyone else runs into this problem, you have to flatten the layers before you save it

No, playing around with photos and doing your own stuff in photochop is FUN! I love that.

Getting told you have to get somthing done for a show you are working on and they don't give you the equiptment you need, the time you need, or anything else you need, thats when it gets frustrating.

To put this in prospective, I was given a Powerbook G4 2 days before I was supposed to have ~75 images cropped, sized, touched up, and loaded in for projection onto a 26'x16' screen on the back wall of our theatre for the show that opens soon. and thats on top of classes and homework and the such.

This is the reason I have not been around much lately, stoopid show!

So does final cut not support layers or does it not support PSD files with layers correctly?

NOTE: I'm curious because I use layered (god I love that feature) tiffs all the friggin time with no problems at all.

Well, the show is a musical about the Civil War, so I think someone would notice. Maybe............. 1 frame neaky:

I did however take on of the projections of Abraham Lincoln and make open his mouth and have a thought bubble and talk. I was SOOOOOOOOO bored at technical rehearsal because its going so slow that I was just playing around in image ready. I'll try and put that up somtime today, its actually kinda funny. (although its probably only funny to me, because I have had to spend so much time with these pics)

It was not displaying a PSD file correctly. I dunno why. I flattened it and exported as a Jpeg, no problem.

It supports PSD files with layers. It imports each layer on its own vid channel & composites them. Its pretty cool because you can manipulate each layer on its own. AfterEffects does the same thing.

Are you talking about Premire, or Final Cut? AfterEffects is Adobe, so thats why it imports layered stuff. Is final cut supposed to do the same?

Final Cut Pro & even FC Express has these capabilities.
