hey, just been reading through this whole thread. thanks indirectly for all the great info. shatter is a real work-hungry plugin to use – very cool though. *question = does anyone know the detailed difference (if there is one) between ‘boris 3d image shatter’ and ae’s native ‘shatter’ fx?

hey, sounds crazy that it would work after shutting AE down and then on again. and again that’s not an entirely fun thing to do all the time. I actually had the same problem and what I had to do was to check the settings in Illustrator in > preferences > file handling & clipboard :: and there check that it copy to PDF is not checked and that AICB is checked together with preserve paths. after I sorted that it worked a charm. you might have done this already and have another hitch on the line somewhere, but it might be worth a look.

good luck

wow, thanks guys for the quick replies and great advice. i’d never even heard about time reversing a layer. i guess there is alot of stuff in AE that i haven’t heard of though. it worked beautifully! thanks!! 😀
