    After diligently making all the maps and background out of Illustrator, I have struggled to make the effect happen in AE6.
    How do I get the type to shatter and move off in one direction only?
    How do I get the letters to peel off with breaking into lots of little pieces (as per Mark’s movie)?
    I have played with every parameter for 2 hours without success!

    Did you precomp the text? It won’t work if you forget that step. I have worked those examples before and they worked okay. If you have trouble I could work one up quick for you.

    Thanks. I’d appreciate a sample file to work out the parameters.
