    I’ve tried but failed… I think i’m not stupid! (Don’t answer that please!)

    Does anyone have more detail on this ie.. bit like a idots guide..lol..

    Many thanks to those who have tried!

    bit cheeky i know, but, if i told you what text i wanted in the effect could anyone do it for me/show me how to too? (How too would be better, as i really do want to know how to do this effect… Wuld help my australia vid a lot!)

    Cheers Dave 🙂

    Scrap that last post, I’ve just noticed the aep can be downloaded from the actual tutorial page itself, it’s in a zip file here:

    thanks mate…

    I got the files from the site and checked all settings of the comp.. the only thing that is different is the size of the comp.. His is a bit too small.. i’m trying to do it for a dvd. About 720 x 576 is what i’m going for.. Maybe this is my problem… I’m going to try and do it at his size and see if that makes a differnce. But not hoping for much as when i load my comp in.. the CPU goes straight up 100% and i cannot do much with after effects and my mouse curser is changing colour from white to black and back continuos..

    Cheers Dave 🙂
