    If this has been discussed, PLEASE point me to it …

    Using Proanimator 4.03 with AE7 Pro I have a consistent problem with certain logos I create.

    For example I have a logo with 2 lines of text and an Ilustrator CS2 file. Everythiing works ok within the program, when it reverts to AE, it still usually looks ok.
    BUT – when I reenter Proanimator to make additional adjustments, the Illustrator logo reverts back to the original size and shape of when I imported it. Which is basically 20x bigger and forces me to readjust it everytime I logo.

    So I can’t seem to get it to STICK in position and size.

    Also I notice when I hit UNDO on certain action – the text will SPREAD itself out and will force me to cancel out and re-enter Proanimator.

    Finally, using nucleo (standard) – any Proanimator file is rendered corrupted (flashes) when played and is unusable.

    I love the results of this software when it works, but I have to be able to depend on consistent results

    So I’m a little frustrated between having to workaround all this – I’ve tried using the Standalone and it helps a little with saving position but I really would like to use this within AE

    ANY help appreciated

    Hello Hahaiah.

    If you’re able to send me a sample scene, I’d be happy to take a look.

    Just send me the .aep file (no media files). Send them to: matt@zaxwerks.com
    Please describe the steps I need to take to replicate your problem.

    Thanks.

    Creating a NEW project and composition seems to have fixed this particular problem (so far). I’ve had this problem before and couldn’t remember how I worked around it. Annoying, but at least workable. Thank you for offering to take a look, I really appreciate the help.

    I’ve noticed I tend to have alot more problems when I have large AE projects. I get render errors, crashes etc alot more often when the projects are complicated. Also, using Nucleo 1.5, ANYTHING rendered in Proanimator gets a “flashing” effect and is unusable, which is too bad, because Proanimator is the very thing I could use the extra processing for.
