Im trying to resize my video clip that has already been masked out but when i scale up the video it also scales up the mask is there any way around this?

For some time now I have been checking the Cow Forums (AE & Premiere Pro) and have found some great information which has been invaluable. But, some reason I have a problem trying to view the ‘video tutorials’. I can’t seem to bring them up. And, I have the latest I-Tunes.

Also, I would like to copy the ‘tutorials’ on AE & PPRO to a CD-R, so I can review them on my editing system (which is not connected to the net.) I know this is probably downloading Basic 101 …but, what must I do? I have no problems downloading tutorials from Digital Juice, so I’m obviously doing something wrong here.

Thanks for any info.

I need to create a set of bubbles that move around the outside of an object. The producer shouldn’t animate, I want to control the path of the bubbles. Any ideas??

Foam with a flow map gradient. Check the manual, it seems like it should work nicely for you.

Hi,

I have a real common after effect question that I can’t find !

Is there a place where I can find a “list” of the After effects Shortcuts ?

For example : How can I read frame by frame on my keyboard ?

As stupid as that !

Thanks a lot (it would change my life !)
