Track backwards from the last frame with the number 1 tracker.

Cool. Me likes.

Coose New View from the View menu and then drag it to the left or right so that it snaps and splits to show both view, then you can lock them to display a specific comp. A tutorial about this will be up soon, thanks,

Thanks partner, I’m a sucker for a compliment…

You can always download the trial to see how it works for you, the image looks something like this…

Well, I’m a sucker for a fun project. Not that I have time to be side-tracking right now, but…

It’s a simple little aep 7.

I think what would make it even better is if the axis lines where drawn with pencil then scanned and overlayed.

I used a turbulent displace, before the smart blur to give it a hand-drawn animated look.

I hope it helps,

Particular could be an interesting start. search for trapcode people in google and there is a great site with a cloud example.

But if you want anything photoreal you’ll need after burn and a 3D program. there’s always stock footage…

That effect has always been a bit shifty. Seems to render slower than extending comps and doesn’t always work as expected in every situation.

It’s one of those work-arounds that leads to more work-arounds…

I use it all the time.

For example, say I have an image in the main timeline with some effects and tranformations and I need to extend the edges of the image I can precompose and leave attributes, then in the new comp make the composition larger. This helps for effects that get cut off by edges.

Or if I have a single image layers that has some effects and transformations but I want to add a fog layer or something to the shot but don’t want to lose control of my keyframes and ainimation, you can precomp and leave attibutes then in the new comp add a bunch of layers.

or instances where you may not have effects but that the layer is parented or linked by expressions to other layers in the currect comp, and standard precomposing may break the purposes of these connections.

Anyways… I hope this gives some ideas
