Re: Tag Channels

Thats odd.  I opened up a tag file series in the fx tree a month or so ago and it came up fine.  I played around with them and was quite happy.  But I recall a few weeks ago someone (Matt Lind? Possibly?) said there is a problem with them in that the tag IDs may switch part way through your animation... making them useless except for stills.  I've not tried this out yet myself.

I did a search of the forum and found only a little bit about this topic 2 years ago. I was wondering if anyone had found any way to work with these Tag files yet. It seems odd that even the FX Tree doesn’t do anything with them. After Effects has that “ID Matte” Effect that is supposed to work with things like this but it won’t recognize the tag files.. On a similar note, I rendered RLA files out of soft and tried to use some of those effects in AE but it doesn’t seem like XSI puts that data(tag info) into the RLA file.

 

Ideas, suggestions?
