Haha, I just had a funny episode with one of our new trainees. We were trying to work out where the kinks in his latest QC where and what we wanted him to change. As we had some communication troubles due to both of us not using the same program and both of us not being native English speakers we went back and mailed us pictures, which we colored in different colors and tried to communicate the meaning of what we changed.
Now, if you actually read our dialogues that accompanied more than 15 pictures you'd laugh your ass off, but then, I'm not posting that.

So this was the pic I got from him with his latest changes for coloring, fonts and effects.

If you've got some experience with typesetting, styles and effects you'll see a few different things that didn't quite work out for this effect.
The standard settings for this effect are: x scale 100, y scale 148, border 1.5, font size 26, blur0, be0.
the things that really didn't work and had to go were the shrinking fscy scale at the beginning of the highlight transformation (he had a \fscy120 somewhere in there) as well as the blur1 that came out of nowhere (we didn’t have be or blur in the fade-in) and the border 3 (our styling had a border 1.5 outline). We also had a few color changes as his red was way too bright and actually pixilated in the QC encode.

So how do you tell someone that he needs to have the same setting both at the beginning and at the end of the highlight layer so that if you watch it as a whole it has a flowing kind of animation. Our way were colorful pictures … So if push comes to shove a correct looking script of mine is getting mauled at with neon colors and circles. ARGH! Would you know what I was trying to get across?

Thanks for putting up with me kitto ;-)
