Thanks Noah.

I’m not authoring the project (thankfully!!) and this issue hasn’t come up before because our previous titles either had all moving menus or no transitions.

It’s a pain – when you make a moving still the highlight will disappear for a split second at the loop point which doesn’t happen when you use a tiff, but without exhaustively trying different adjustment methods to find how to correct the shift in colour/brightness in photoshop it’s the only foolproof way.

Anyway, rant over!! Thanks again mate

Am on a PC at work, and the difference between the stills and moving menus is noticeable after the DVD project has been authored, watching it on a TV especially. Guess I will have to do trial and error to find a solution : (

But am on a mac at home – and my monitor is easier on the eyes already : )

Thanks for the advice!!

Do you have continuous rasterization checked?

Thanks Dan. I suspected you’d know!!

You’re right I would like to round the values up to the nearest whole number. I tried adding this:

Math.round(P)

to the end, but it hasn’t worked. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Many thanks

I could be wrong but I don’t think there is a way to freeze frames in AE.

You can get around it by saving the frame as a tiff, re-import it, then when you’ve masked the actor or whatever out you can copy and paste the mask onto that tiff as well

Save the path you have created in Photoshop as a work path, then go file > export > paths to illustrator.

Open the illustrator file you now have and then simply copy and paste the mask onto your image. You might need to shift it around a bit and adjust expansion and handles, but it should be the same size

August 31, 2005 at 1:55 pm in reply to: Animating random text with wiggly and range selector

Yeah I might have to bite the bullet and compromise on this one.

The style of the piece doesn’t really fit fades – hance the jumbling, random effect I’m using. I’m positive there must be a way to tell AE that it is jumbling say, 3 letters at frame 0 and 12 letters at frame 25. Just can’t figure out how!!

Tried adding spaces at end, but it still jumps at the source text keyframe. Oh well.

Thanks for your help Roland
