Hi Paul.

You do not need to key anything out. To take advantage of the alpha channel you have to put it on top of the footage you want it to affect and set the footage to use it as a matte.

Like this:

Hope it was what you were looking for.

Sorry about that.

I´m on windows XP pro SP2
Firefox 3.0.7
Core 2 quad Q6600 2.4 Ghz – 4GB RAM

I was in a bit of a hurry when I posted today. I apologyse again.

I haven´t made any change on my system latelly. It simply started acting like this. Maybe it was some Firefox update I didn´t pay atention to. But I really do not remember making any.

Thanx for the reply.

Cheers and congratulations to all you guys. This forum is amazing.

Trapcode Echospace might be what you´re looking for:

And some posts here on the cow as well. Even if you have to hit CTRL+D some times you can distribute them in a faster better easier way then doing it manually one by one.

Hope it helps.

Cheers.

Do you happen to have a camera on the scene?

Sorry if it does not help.

No worries mate. Those little things seem to happen more often than we can possibly imagine.

Glad I could help.

Actually I can rotate that in all directions. I just posted that one as an example. Tought you would not need all the angles.

Let me try again:

Try not to make the world a bunch of YES and NOs….

Seems to be working pretty well here.

I don´t really know what might be wrong.

Is it still happening?

Cheers.

Hi there.

For making the object one sided you can apply this expression to the 3D shapes opacity:

if (toCompVec([0, 0, 1])[2] > 0 ) value else 0

(to apply an expression ALT+click the stopwatch of the property)

Is right there on our best friend F1.

Good luck.

Cheers.
