  • Cross-dissolving animation?

    Posted by Xiatian on April 9, 2007 at 10:31 am

    I’m having trouble finding the right settings to use for cross dissolve with animation frames – I know there’s a way to do it with actual video footage, but is it any different with animation?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey,

    I dont iff there is. But what i do is set 2 keyframes, with a difference off 20 frames. If you use the transform opacity(disort>transform)instead off on your layer, you can save it as a animation preset. So whenever you want to add it to a layer go 20 frames(Cmd+G=go to time) before the end of the layer(O) and add that preset.
    You can do this with every other transition effect iff you want.

    Hope this helps

    T.

    Peace

    if i understand right, you cant get a proper dissolve working?

    if so, this is due to the way AE handles opacity, but the solution would be to set your layer mode for the 2 layers you want to cross dissolve to alpha add and have opacity key frames set for each, one from 0 to 100, the other from 100 to 0

    who is that masked man…
