    Hi everybody,

    What i’m tring to do is simulate a tv look. Ive used TV simulator event fx and added noise as well. It looks great thus far however im also trying to create the effect of the tv screen shutting off. Kind of like the older school tv’s that when you shut them off the go dark from outside to inside…I’m experimenting with a circular iris transition from out to in, but it’s not quite the look im going for. Any ideas??

    Thanx,
    Carson

    I’d use track keyframes to narrow it down vertically, then squish it horizontally.

    Oh yeah, great idea! I’m assuming when you say track you mean track keyframes motion?? If so what would be the easiest way to do that? I havnt dabbled with track motion to much.

    Yes, track motion.
    Set a keyframe for full screen size where you want the change to start. Set a keyframe with the vertical squish a second or so later. Set a keyframe with the horzontal squish a second or so after that.

    Season to taste.

    Also, at the end, I would add a separate event that is a blurry white circle in the center that fades out over a coule of seconds
