After Effects Ramping Help (I have ZERO knowledge)

[NotedDerk]

So I just got cs4 since I don't have a 64-bit and I'm tired of always asking others to ramp my shit.
I don't know the first thing about ramping in after effects and I looked around a little to see if anyone posted something along the lines of this and couldn't find anything.

What should my clips be converted to in the process of doing the ramp?
(As in when I import the clips into ae)

I've watched adda's tutorial video and he uses .mov, i'm use to converting my clips to .mp4 so does that mean that I can just do the ramp with the .mp4 clips or do I have to convert them to that after I finish the ramps as .mov's, if so, can one of you suggest a good convertor for that?

I can't think of what else to ask, but anything you guys know will help me out, thanks a lot!

I have CS4 too, and I export them using the Hi-Def XVid codec (original files are .mpg) and the quality looks great for me. (remember s2 is all I do, and my vids aren't bigger than 640 x 360p).

About the ramping, I learned it thanks to youtube tutorials, there are some out there that really explain everything well and clear.

I dont know how adda does it. but you should be able to do it with MP4's... it's just a different video codec. it works just the same.

twixtor is dope. Is it better with 60 frames though?

Indeed. Canon's source footy @60fps, can be tweaked to more than 500fps I think. There're so many good slow-mo vids out there that were made with 550D's and Twixtor, they can't be more fluid.

yes it is meant to be used with 60 fps - if you have a pvr record in 720p NOT 1080i ! - 720p will give u 60 1080i will give u 30.
