You’ll need to copy the settings for the new filter, I’m afraid.
All the best,

You don’t need After Effects for this. (Probably.)
If you’re working with anamorphic 16:9 then you are using the same number of pixels as you are when working with 4:3. You’re just using a different “Pixel Aspect Ratio”. Check out your manuals for more info or a little Wikipedia might get you in the right area.
Bottom line: Master your project out of Final Cut Pro, with anamorphic 16:9 sequence settings appropriate for your media. It will end up fine on the tape.

No worries. We’ve all been there :o)
Glad you got it sorted.

Hi Antony,
It’s not that bewildering. Your adjustment layer isn’t the same size as the comp, so it’s only affecting the part of the image that it covers.
Make you adjustment layer bigger and, if I’m reading your post correctly, your problem goes away. Shazam!
Good luck with your project,

It takes all sorts, I suppose :o) There’s nothing more satisfying than crafting the perfect mask. (Thank goodness for Mocha though)
Bryan, with regards your second question, depending on your dress colour, Hue/Saturation with Hold keyframes should give the look you’re after.

Another suggestion I have is to not use the Export function. Instead use the Render Queue. Composition > Add to Render Queue and choose the Lossless preset if on Windows. Of course, go in and check the settings afterwards before you render.
I exported an uncompressed AVI with audio yesterday. It played back, but for some reason wasn’t fully compliant. So instead of “Uncompressed” I re-rendered with “Lossless YUV” (I think it was the HuffYUV codec) and it was fine. So maybe there is a problem with uncompressed AVI export. I tend to avoid AVI export in my workflow if possible, and export to Quicktime instead.
See if you can play back your AVI with Videolan instead of Windows Media Player.
Good luck,

Do a search on rotoscoping. That’s the technique for you.
Basically drawing and animating a number of masks. It’s great fun, honestly.

It’s fine. It will install to a separate folder, so you’ll have them all existing in their own little worlds.
If you want the plug-ins, be sure to reinstall those separately too.
Have fun!

Hi,
When you say it won’t play, what are you trying to play it in? Does it show a frame or nothing at all?
My initial feeling is that you’re trying to play uncompressed video off a drive that isn’t fast enough to handle it. If you reimport into After Effects can you see it there? If so, then it’s a drive throughput problem.
When you’re rendering to NTSC DV, have you set it to field render Lower Field First? Give it a go and see if it fixes your flickering.
All the best,

Sorry I’m a bit late to the party on this one. My first thought was an expression, so I hacked this together:
You’ve got your blade on one layer and a tooth on another. Dupe your tooth layer and put this expression on your Position.
thisComp.layer(index-1).transform.position.valueAtTime(time-.5)
Animate one tooth (the top one), change your time in the expression as needed.
Now dupe that layer for as many teeth as you need. It’ll take a bit of time for the layers to spread out, but it should work. I haven’t checked out the tutorial above, so it’s probably a bit better thought out :o)
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
