Cyrix wrote:"Why aren't you [X]" is kind of a smartass response. You can be just as concise with "have you tried" or "you might like" or numerous other phrasings. Just saying. Anyway, thanks for your thorough response this time.
Perhaps in your own sociocultural background such phrasing would indicate the speaker being a "smartass," but there is no need to presume such a connotation applies to all. Not only is this true among individuals that share a common native language, or even a common nationality, it is especially true of the Org where someone's language or national origin may not be known. Your assumption that your relative connotation of a given phrase is in someway universal to all practitioners of the English language is unfounded.
My initial questions presumed you had a level of knowledge with the standards associated with this community and the hobby in general, since you have something of a post count, and I have seen your involvement in other threads.
Neither my word choice nor my intent was disrespectful or dismissive, and I don't appreciate your unwillingness to take me at my word, especially when my intent is to help you.
PNG is lossless as well.
Yes, but PSD is Adobe, and the ability to use both Photoshop and Premiere (and AE) concurrently has been specifically programmed into the underlying structure of the entire product line.
Yes, the images are animated, that's why they're interlacing. I've never noticed this problem before but maybe I haven't animated PNGs before, I don't remember. Yeah, you can start a 24p or 30fps project; I could copy the entire timeline into 24p, but I wanted the extra precision of 30fps for several fast animations so I stuck with that.
Check your individual property settings for each effect on each specific PNG. Make sure interlacing is disabled, or deinterlacing is enabled if necessary. Without looking at your particular option screen, I'm not sure which it will be.
I would love to export it as uncompressed but I really can't afford the hard drive space. Also, I just tested it, and that doesn't fix the interlacing problem. If I deinterlaced it while encoding an uncompressed version I'd mess up the progressive footage anyway, wouldn't I? I hadn't anticipated this problem cuz as I said, if I edit progressive footage in a 30fps project it doesn't interlace it.
Lossless is distinct from uncompressed. You can have compressed lossless. Codecs include Lagarith, HUFFYUV, and UT Video. These three are the most common on the org. There are others, but those should be sufficient.
The WMV isn't doing any screwy crap, actually, but it's compressing it more than I'd like.
That's one of many reasons you do not export out in lossy codecs.
