try holding shift before clicking on any of the menus. You shouldn’t have to, but try that. Keep in mind that the secret option won’t be seen until you enter another preference menu, and then switch to the secret menu.

This is going to be ENTIRELY preference other than to say – get yourself a 3 button mouse with scroll wheel (The middle button is usually the wheel).
I just don;t understand how Mac’s ship without a 2 or 3 button mouse.
I like logitech mice in general, and I have a new wireless one that is awesome – a VX nano. Very precise. Not cheep. $50.
I also use a $20-$30 wired optical mouse and it’s fine.

I am pretty sure you need to make a change in your keying settings – I have this all the time – sort of chatter/noise in the unkeyed area…
In the area called Screen Matter – you’ll find a property called “Replace Method” – set it from “Soft Color” to “source”
Unfortunately this brings some of the reflected green tones back into it, but it does get rid of the immediate problems.
From there you may want to go into the foreground color correction area, enable color correction, and go into the color Balance > Color Balance Wheel property and slide the color away from green towards the pinks and reds – just slightly.
You might also want to use the effect called Effect > Keying > Spill Suppressor to get rid of any leftover greens around the edge.

The general word is that AE’s multiprocessing in not quite as stable. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. So test it before you buy Nucleo Pro 2. If it works and all you need is some extra rendering power, you don’t need Nucleo.
However, that said – Nucleo Pro offers many other features (such as rendering while you work) that it’s worth checking out regardless.

No. It doesn’t deactivate.
However, after using an update, in the future, you may not be able to activate the older version if you have to reinstall for any reason.
I spoke to an Adobe Sales Rep over the phone recently and was told that if you upgrade, (and you have to use the old serial number when you activate the upgrade) after activating the new version, the old license becomes invalid. It doesn’t stop functioning on your computer, but further activations no longer work.
I was pretty surprised by this – and have not had the need to test it. I don’t know if it’s true – But my understanding is that the reason for this is that you are essentially exchanging your old license for a new one.

click on my head up at the top – it will take you to some tutorials. Find the ones called Expression Controls Pt1 – 3. Pt. 3 explains exactly how to do this.

You want to wiggle both the position and rotation using a wiggle expression. This is added on top of your already existing motion.
Try this for position:
wiggle(2,10)
This will wiggle the value 2 times a second up to 10 pixels off the current position. Change those numbers to taste.
I’d then precomp the whole thing, and use a wiggle expression on the nested comps rotation – wiggle(2,1) 1 degree of rotation may be a lot more than you expect. Again play around.
Or if its a 1 point camera (no point of interest) you can add the wiggle directly to the camera’s Z rotation.
