  Posted by Vfxgal on June 23, 2006 at 8:09 pm

  I’m trying to do a logo aniamtion where I need the logo to form from shattered pieces.If I apply the shatter effect it shatters from the original logo.HOW do I reverse it so tht at frame 0 its all pieces and at frame 4 it comes together to form the logo.

  Cheers,
  Vfxgal.

  Probably the easiest way is to first precompose your layer(s) containing the shatter effect (move all attributes to the new composition).

  Then time-reverse the precompoosed layer.

  What I uaually do to reverse any effect is I key frame it first at the end point, so every thing is un-shattered then I go to the begining of the time line and key frame it there as shattered…
