  • BIG Help, this is really pissing me off

    What I need:

    I have a picture I rendered to have a small hole explode, I want a light streak to come out of it, Ive used particular but its too complicated and the streak keeps messing up.

    I used Andrew Kramers light streak but for some reason when I move the camera it changes to a single straight line of light and I cant mess with it and I have to start over.

    Im on a buddys computer now who happened to have trapcode 3d stroke on it which seems promising since I can just draw the path out.

    Here is a picture, I also need the camera to follow the streak.

    I REALLY Need help with this one, its really working my last nerve.

    Actually, this is really easy in AE. Where are you running into problems? You could use either the 3d stroke or Particle generator with a null object. Just animate out the stroke first coming out and around the picture. Then do your camera move last, keyframing and following your path.
