Ok boys and girls, it's time for me to get into "whiny bitch" mode and I know at least some us are aware of how much I really love to whine and bitch :) Plus... I bring visual aids!

First off...The Scenario:

This is a snapshot of what I am dealing with. Each one of these very annoying and heinously titled folders, is the owner of a targa sequence. As you can see, the highlighted folder I like to call, "easy to remember folder Comp FWB_015_a_c043a", is the owner of a shitload of equally easy to remeber tga (targa) still images. They are numbered in sequence and when laid out next to each other in sequential order at 1 frame each, they make a piece of a moving picture. As if that whole process isn't annoying enough, when I tried to pump these out earlier (as seen in my earlier post) in After Effects, the shit hit the fan. It was dropping frames and the sync was all off. Twas a real bummer. Ok onto Scenario 02...LETS GO!!!!

Scenario 02:

Here is a nicely composed screen cap of a glorified version of what I had to do. Keep in mind the about to be described process has to be applied to each and every shot, so multiply this process by a few hundred or so. Ok so breaking it down, #1 represents the targa sequence laid out frame by frame to make a moving picture. # 2 represents those nasty nasty targas nested into one video clip. This makes it easier to handle the little fuckers. #2 is also the final color graded footage, composited and re-cropped for her pleasure. #3 represents the first round of reference footage sent from Beijing with a comped background and clip code reference burned into the picture. #4 represents the original footage sans compositing or color correction. Of course at the end of this all I disable layers 1, 3 & 4 but I tried to present this in a form that was easier to relate to. This way you all you at home can vaguely grasp what I am bitching about!! Ok so gonna get back to this mess on Saturday, its dinner time. More bitching to come no doubt!!
