How do I make these fading/moving overlayed lines?

[Filip Vandueren]

Try animating some Fractal Noise that you stretch very much vertically, and that has a high contrast-ratio.
Use an algorithm that’s more liney or wavy than just clouds.

It looks like fractal noise is a pro only feature, as I am finding out are many. What can do used in 6.5 standard to achieve the same effect?

The talented fellow Dan Ebberts has a script that might help you out with this. But it’s gonna take some extra work because of the effects you want to achieve.

The link to his site is here..

Now This script can be applied to any elements position. So you need to make an element that is similarlooking to your video clip. so make a layer size it down so that it is thin, and then add a blur to it. Optional addition: Key frame the size from the beginning to end to expand the width to add some extra movement.

One your done pre-compose this layer, Composition-Pre-compose leave all attributes… then Alt click on the position stop watch and apply his handy script, then duplicate the pre-comp layer useing CTRL+D and if you need offset the time so it starts at differn’t times in your comp. Once you do this you can put this finished comp inside a new comp and time stretch it about 400 percent so it’s smoothe and slow, also don’t forget to turn on the continusou rasterization switch so the animatin is smoothe. Its the one that looks like a sun star.

Change the transfer mode and you should have something cool. You can also make multiple instances of this and squeeze one down and stretch the other out so it give differn’t sizes too.

Btw don’t forget to thank Dan, His scipts are great!
