Just for your info. Macros in ‘photoshopspeak’ are called actions. Really worth getting to grips with them, and they’re not too difficult. They can be life savers in many instances.

As a user of both Edius and FCP (although not FCPX yet) I too am very pleased to see this here. I’ve yet to achieve a bulletproof way of swapping media between the two apps (and platforms) although I’ve not upgraded to E6.5 yet (still on 6)

Hello again Joe,

I’ve had a good look now at the properties now of all the particle effects in my AE (5.5) and the BCC ones but cannot find anywhere about making the particles from layers:-( Could you give me some more help with this?

Once again, many thanks

Thanks Joe, I did investigate AE’s built in particles but couldn’t see how to get the text in there. If you can do it via the layers that’s great and I’ll give it a go.

Cheers Alan

Thanks Craig, that’s about how far I’ve got presently and it’s ‘acceptable’ but can probably be improved on.

I’ll soldier on and try Brian’s approach, although I find TP pretty intimidating to be honest. Brian I don’t really want to have to buy plugins for this.

Thanks once again guys

Thanks Visheth,

Didn’t really want to have to buy another plugin. I do have BCC and maybe something in that would help?

Wow I had no idea this existed, thanks Kevin. I do have a ‘long in the tooth’ MBP with FW that is still working with the IoHD. So I guess I’ll be able to use that for the ‘cross conversion’? Is that something I’d just need to do the once?

Do you know what sort of SDI signal comes out of the T-Tap from FCPX? Do you think it’s fully legal?

Kevin, I’ve rather lost the place with FCP and Apple technology, but am considering investigating FCPX in the near future. I have IoHD with FCP7 and would like some info on the t-tap you mention here.

With thanks Alan

Thanks Sergio. I looked at this and it looks like it can be used but only with a bit of expresso converting either posn, scale or rotation to a value to control light intensity. Easier fpr me to get my head round tho’ than Mograph.

Thanks very much Adam, I did half suspect Mograph would be able to do this but I’m very low on its learning curve.
