Hey thank a lot Adam,

I will try this. I also got some good results by simply dropping the “Screen Balance” from 50% to about 10%, that helped too.

Thanks again.

Very cool Brian,

I’ll try that, thanks!

Ok, I’ve got everything moving like a piece of fabric in the wind, the only thing missing is the shadow folds moving along too.

Gosh I should know how to do this but I haven’t used AE in a long time and as you know if you don’t use it you lose it.

Any tips on making realistic shadows/folds move along with the displacement animation?

Thanks

Ah of course, that Tut does not even mention to pre-compose. Looks like he started the tut after he already precomposed it. Oops, that’s a pretty big thing to leave out.

Thanks.

Hmmm?
I must be missing something. I’m following this tut exactly but my image does not do what the Tuts does.

I import my logo, then create a new solid and apply the curtains effect,and change the curtain colors to B&W. My logo IS on top like the Tut.

I then add displacement map to my logo and direct it to the animated Curtain solid.

The only thing that happens is that my Logo image appears to move slightly off center. I can’t see the curtain moving through my logo like it does in the Tut.

Am I supposed to mess with the Modes at all, both are set to Normal. I’ve tried diferent modes but nothing effects my logo.

Oh, and when I try increasing the Vert or Horiz displacement it just make my whole logo image move sideways or up and down

Any ideas?

Alright! very cool. Thanks Brian I will give this a try. Really appreciate it, thanks! Might have some more questions while attempting though;)

[Danny Winn]

Wow that’s exactly what I need it to look like Brian, is there a tutorial on that one somewhere? I searched The Cow but didn’t find one. Not sure what words to search though.

Can you direct me to how that was achieved Brian or did you do that yourself with the technique you described?

Please advise.

Thank you too Michael, I’ll try that as well

Did you make sure to render the workspace? That might be your problem, make sure you render the entire workspace, if there is a red line above your clips that means it still needs to be rendered, if the line is green then I’m not sure why they are not clear unless they are small pictures being blown up the the frame size.

Hope this helps.

Well, I’ve never done it the way you explained, I always imported my Premiere project into AE and then exported from AE.

But, if the 1 file you’re talking about plays fine in the timeline, can’t you just take the razorblade tool and cut the points where you want your transitions? Your sound effects can still be added where you need them right? Or is this 1 file you’re talking about not playable?

Sorry, since I’ve never done it this way I’m not sure exactly what you’re seeing.

Disregard this post, I don’t know why but it double posted what I had written above;)
