Replace comp – or something simular

I’ve recently been in a situation were several artist are working on the same shot. One person on keying, one on roto, one on comp and so on.

I would like the person that comps the elements together to start working with temp keys, and temp rotos, and then be able to switch them out as the project goes along. I don’t want to render out the elements, I want the compositor to import the key comp so he can have some flexibility if he needs it.

Is there a way to “replace comp”, almost like the replace footage button, without having to import the project again and manually switch out the comp and delete the old stuff and so.

Timecode and conforming issues

Description: I want to conform a lot of files in AE to low-res proxys for editing. After the edit, I would want to reconnect the low-res to the high-res using a EDL or XML.

Problem: After Effects doesn’t, from what I know, pass through any timecode that is needed to reconnect the media. Or maybe it’s possible to set EDLs to use actual start and stop in clip duration, instead of the timecode?

I also wonder how this is adressed when AE is used on bigger projects for VFX work and onlined in a different application. I would guess the online assembles the plates with some kind of timecode-based automatic way, not by hand. Anyone know? Workarounds?

Animation question

Hi,

Iam having a weird problem with the animation curves in AE. I’ve never come across such a problem with curves before, and iam not sure how to explain it. However I have a screen of it to explain it even further.

The problem is when I set keys for example for the position of an object on 3 (or more) different places on the timeline all the keys in between the start and the end key have splitted(tow) points on the curve. Iam hoping for some answers to solve this, I had no luck searching the web.

thx in advance,

DroverLord Question

Hi, I am using After Effects 7.0 on a Windows XP machine. Having used it for a while I got an error message recently with a window saying ‘Droverlord frame’.

As the name sounded ominous I did a number of searches. However there seems to be virtually no clear answer about this. Some people have implied it is a virus whether others have implied that it is part of the AE GUI code, although there seems to be no confirmation of this from Adobe.

Does anyone know what the situation is with this is? I noticed on one of the threads here someone mentioned DroverLord in connection with the GUI. Is this the case or does it sound like a virus?

Any answers to this would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
