Thanks for the reply, Ryan. I’ll give your suggestions a try.

Hi Joe.

Yes, it’s a 64 bit Windows 7 system. I’m running After Effects/premier CS5.5 with all current updates.

Thank you for the quick reply, John. This sounds just like what I’m looking for but I have a problem. I’ve created the two sliders in the null object as you said, and added the expression to the null’s position property, however I’m getting an error message:

After Effects warning: Class ‘global’ has no property or method named ‘freq’ Expression disabled.

Error occurred at line 1.
Comp: ‘float’
Layer: 1 (‘Null 1’)
Property: ‘Position’

I assume that I have to pickwhip parts of the expression to the Frequency and Amplitude sliders in the null, but not really knowing anything about expressions I don’t know which part!

Colin.

Thanks for the reply Cristian, and I’ll go through your post in more detail when I get home, but just to note; I didn’t pay anything like full price for the monitor, I bought it as a refurbished model. There’s no way I could have afforded it new. 🙂

Thanks again for your detailed advice.

OK. It seems I had a corrupted comp. I just built up a new test comp from scratch and that seems to be working perfectly. Sorry about that!

OK this is weird! I’ve just finished rendering a composition using AE lights and the model IS casting shadows on itself in the final render, but I can’t see this happening in AE, even though I have full resolution and full quality turned on. The exact same composition I just rendered that shows the shadows correctly in the rendered footage, doesn’t show them correctly inside After Effects. If I disable AE lights and enable Invigorator lights, I can see the correct shadows in AE. I’m confused! 🙂

Thanks for both replies, I really appreciate it. So let me see if I have this right; if I disable “use display color management” in the Show Channel And Color Management Setting, the AE color space I have chosen to work in (in my case sRGB) will be the one I see in the AE project window, thus if I then render my video and choose sRGB as the output color profile, then what I see in AE and what is rendered should look the same? I’ll try it when I get back home.
