Puzzle effect
Hi folks !
I’m looking for this effect:
i have a layer which reveals a second layer with a “puzzle effect”
i want to kick away single parts of the first layer …
I first thought about card dance, but i also want to have the total control over the single parts which are flying away flying away …
i hope you know what i mean and can help me …sry for my bad english …
using AFX 6.5 Procheers

… I forgot to say i don’t want to have the shape of a puzzle …
the single parts are rectangular …
hm thanks .. -
Using Shatter, you can control the shape of the pattern (Pattern>Custom) with a custom Shatter Map, and control when it flies off with a Gradient (Gradient>Gradient Layer) and keyframe the Shatter Threshold (under Gradient).
For details of Shatter download this from Adobe:

Shatter is in pdf 4, pgs 17-26.
Lots of reading but lots of control.

If you want total control, I suppose you could slice the photo up in Photoshop putting each puzzle piece on a layer, then import into AE, then manually keyframe the pieces (each their own layer now in AE) when you want them to fly off.
