@BadMamaJamalutes  For a very long time, H264 was supported in After Effects via QuickTime (not the file format, but the system driver for time based media).  Apple deprecated that back in 2013 in favor of AV Foundation Framework.  As such, removing QuickTime from After Effects meant removing H264.  But, it's been back for several versions now. ...

@tmarzetta  In the Blackmagic support forums, the Intensity Shuttle shows as being Intel Mac only: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=129564&p=716891&hilit=+intel+Macs+only+#p716891   If you already have an Intensity Shuttle, you could opt to purchase a used Intel based Mac to setup a fairly low cost capture workstation (as you've already mentioned).  You may already know that macsales.com is a good vendor for new and used Macs. If using your M3 MacBook Pro Max, go with the Intenstiy Pro 4K ($285.00) in an expansion chasis, the UltraStudio HD Mini ($649.00), or the UltraStudio 4K Mini ($1,165.00). When capturing VHS or Hi8 via BD's Media Express software, there are settings to upconvert to HD on the fly while capturing; however, that's just a software upconversion.  I'd still capture to an SD resolution using ProRes 422 or ProRes 422 HQ and then upconvert that with Topaz Video afterward.  If there's no budget for Topaz, there's Detail-preserving Upscale in After Effects - but Topaz is well worth it.  In the Blackmagic Design Media Express app, it's going to show as "525i59.94 NTSC"  for the project video format.  If capturing PAL, the setting is "625i50 PAL".  I'd need to double-check this, but I think the resulting NTSC capture is 486i instead of 480i.   Pictured: Blackmagic Design Media Express Project Video Format for NTSC Pictured: Blackmagic Design Media Express Project Video Format for PAL     ...

@Vadym B.    I think it would be great to have a button that enables/disables all of the effects for a clip, maybe at the top of the list of Effects in the Effect Controls or by Option/Alt clicking the fx badge on the Clip Boundary in the Timeline.   In addition to what @Peru Bob recommends, there's Global Effects Mute.  The button for it is available to be added to the transport controls at the bottom of the Project panel.   Tool Tip Tuesday for Adobe Premiere Pro: Global FX Mute: when you just need all effects OFF ...

Hi @tmarzetta:   I have my Blackmagic Design Intensity 4K PCI card in an AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Expansion Box (which is discontinued).   To connect it to my newer Macs, I use Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter.   AKiTiO makes a few  expansion options for Thunderbolt 3.  PCIe expansion options are also available from OtherWorld Computing.   It’s important to note that there’s a previous Intensity PCI card (I believe it’s the non-4K version) that doesn’t have drivers for Apple Silicon, so make sure it’s the Blackmagic Design Intensity 4K PCI card that works with Intel or Apple Silicon based Macs.  ...

In testing, I'd try encoding to an all i-frame format first and then encoding to LongGOP format second.  For example, use the "XAVC HD Intra Class100 50p" preset first and then the "XAVC HD Long GOP 50Mbps 50p" second.  While it means doing two passes, it may lead to better results. ... View more

@Victor5CD3  Avid Media Composer could definitely be referred to as the backbone of feature film and episodic television and for good reason. But it's not trouble-free. I just spent the last week locked out of my personal license for Media Composer on my 2017 iMac Pro due to a patch that is needed for running Avid Link under macOS Ventura 13.7.8.  While I recognize that unexpected issues come up, I wasn't able to update a cut for an independent documentary like I had been hoping to.  What had me a little surprised is that Avid Link said it's up-to-date, Media Composer was up-to-date, and Avid's support site indicates that Ventura is still supported.  It wasn't until I got to a third support agent that I was directed to the patch that was published on 12/22/25.  Meanwhile, Premiere Pro 21.x through 25.x are all working as expected on the same workstation.       - Warren ...

@AndrewTheGreat  In both Premiere Pro and Resolve, an Out Point is the last frame at the tail of a Clip (as opposed to an In Point that is the first frame at the head of a Clip). To go to the last frame of the last Clip in a Timeline in Resolve, select the last Clip, then mark the Clip (Mark > Mark Clip), then press Shift + O.  You'll probably want to follow up with clearing the In to Out (Mark > Clear In and Out).  Premiere Pro simply doesn't require an Out Mark to present to go to the last frame of the last Clip in the Timeline. Fortunately, the default keyboard shortcuts for marking clips are the same.  So, while the Playhead is over a Clip, X, Shift + O, Option + X works that same.   If editing on both applications, it's important to note that in Resolve that Shift + O goes to the In Point of the Gap at the tail of the edit if no Out Point is marked. ...

Hi, @maurice_3423: Thank you for adding that. What you're linking to shows an Effects Preset that uses a combination of built-in effects to achieve what comes close to what the third-party versions of the Unmult effect does, but the results are not as clean.   Fortunately, though, a native Unmult is now available in the Ae 26.x public beta: https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/keying-effects.html#unmult Also of note is that the native Unmult is 32-bit, GPU accelerated, and can knock out white as well as black like the third-party equivalents can. ...

As NewBlueFX titles are created, they'll show up in the Project panel or the Bin panel. You can drag and drop them to a Video Track like any other source footage (as @Rag and Bone mentioned, shown in the YouTube video). It's been a long time since I've used NewBlueFX.  If you prefer to insert or overwrite it from the Source panel, you should be able to drag and drop it to the Source panel or use the Open in Source keyboard shortcut (Shift + o, the letter "o"-- not the number "0") while in the Project or Bin and then insert or overwrite from the Source panel to the Timeline - keeping an eye on the Source Patching for the Video Tracks. Also, @Daniel30810352o94k, thanks for replying with the information that reinstalling NewBlueFX resolved it not showing up for you.  If someone else runs into that issue and finds this post, I'm sure they'll find that helpful. ...

To have the Saber effect start at the bottom instead of the top, change what's called the First Vertex on the Mask Path.   Each point on a Mask Path is a vertex and the one that starts the path is the first.  When using an effect that has a "Start" and "End" option, the First Vertex is the start.  If it's a closed path, it's also the end. To easily view each vertex, I usually press m twice to show all Mask properties or press f once to show just Mask Feather while the Layer is selected in the Timeline and then select Mask Feather to see the Mask and each vertex of it in the Composition panel.  There's one point that's slightly larger than the others - that's the First Vertex.  To set a different point, hover over it with the mouse and then right-click and choose "Set First Vertex".  If an effect like Saber is already applied, that should now be the Start for it. ...
