    The perception of movement comes from the relative movement of one object to another… ie… one object is stationary, another moves, and we perceive motion because we have a frame of reference in the stationary object. This could be achieved with several objects, or a background, etc.

    So, if your wipe is moving and the camera is moving with it.. what is providing your frame of reference?

    Just a thought. Maybe I am way off as to what your problem is.

    You would need to add something to your BG in order to show movement. If you pan a camera around inside of a completely white sphere you would not have any sense of movement because the bg never changes. But if the sphere had a few splatters of red paint on it then you would see the red paint move past the lense. You need to give the eye a frame of reference.

    So ad something to your BG some noise, scratches, color gradient, etc something to give the eye a sense of movement.

    thanks shayder!

    i gave it a try and looks much better. just one more question, i have a 3000×575 comp inside a 720×576 and the animation is long, is it better to use a much bigger comp something like 10000×576 or is it too much??? is it better to use diferent comps for a long animation,??? what way do you guys do it??

    thanks a lot.
