Thanks. I did not know that about Encore. I’ll look into it.

I’m also taking a look at Magix Photostory on DVD 2013. It’s not exactly what I was asking for but it seems to have a lot of editing capability. I’d prefer for my editing to be in premiere, where I’m more comfortable, but I’ve got limited time.

Thanks again.

Does anyone have any idea on this?

I’m unfamiliar with shape layers. I’ll have to play it and see what happens.

Thanks again.

I realize that AE is animating between the two keyframes but that’s what the instructions in the tutorial say to do. According to the tutorial you’re supposed to let AE animate between the two key frames so it will produce a shape that is close to that of a TV window. Then once you find the shape that’s about right, you clear the keyframes so that the shape, at that point, is set. The problem is that the shape that’s produced on my machine doesn’t resemble anything like that of what’s in the tutorial. That’s why I move the timemarker back and forth in my video, so that you can see that my shape animation doesn’t even come close to the example. And I don’t understand why.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply, Jason. I tried that but it didn’t solve the problem. I ended up just creating a rounded corner box by hand without using the instructions from the tutorial.

To show the problem I’m having I created a video of what the problem looks like as I follow the instructions from the tutorial. You can check it out at my website

You should be able to see that when I follow the instructions from the tutorial my results don’t match the tutorial’s. I’d still like to know why.

Thanks for the help.
