Righto you guys are the mutts nuts, thanks v. much for getting back to me.
Steve, no i hadn’t tried the rotation on Y- or z depth(i assume you mean as part of the 3d stroke effect controls as appossed to the actual comp camera itself,cos I did try some simian skills with the camera but that got me into no end of bother- will monkey around with it in the morning.
Chris, I shall search for this fabled lightblur of ye olde 3d space and crown ye King for your endeavours(I should point out that I have no legal right or precendence to crown anyone King, but hey this is the tinterweb-there are no rules-Arise King Smith!))
I shall carry on forthwith with getting media-eval on these streaks behinds and will post in the morning(GMT) if I suck seed or still struggle.

BTW to the people who run this Forum(and of course the other people who post), You Rawk Hard. I have learned more in the short while i ve been lurking around these waters than any book or lecturer has even come close to teaching me.So, Cheers!

So it may well be 3d stroke.(Said in best James Bond villian voice)
I sussed the pen mask business, but I just cant seem to get perspective on the stroke itself.It looks real flat. I’m using the comp camera going reasonably wide. I’ve tried varying the start end thickness to fake the distance but being honest it looks crap.Anyone got a project using this admittedly lovely(in the right hands)plugin.Sorry if i’m being a pain ,but i can usually figure it out better(read:I’m dense) with pre made project in hand.I’m also quite new to AE so please be gentle

Alright Chris
Yes it’s the Zoom ad. Please don’t tell me that’s a 3d app that made the pretty strokes.That would suck cos i don’t have any 3d apps, or come to think of it the knowledge of streak creation therein.Is there a way to replicate them without said software?

If someone has ideas then i would be 3D st(r)oked…

Ivan,

I had a problem with this matter this very week(my post is about 30 down the way), like John says go into Edit>Preferences>File Handling and clipboard then make sure that AICB is on and also preserve paths, it doesn’t matter if pdf is on as well, cos you see, AE is damn clever and will work it out.I had a weird thing happen, whilst running both Ill and AE I tried to copy the paths and paste into AE but to no effect.I exited AE and restarted it and bish bash bosh copy paste bang masks in AE. Since then i haven’t had to do the restarting thing and it works every time.Freaky PC or what?Sorry if just repeating the above, but consider this more of an affirmation
!!

Hi Steve
Thanks for replying so quick.I was marque selecting all the paths I wanted and copying ctrl+c then switching to after effects and tried to paste them ctrl+v to a layer.Literally nothing more complicated. When i did this nothing would happen in AE.Then i tried a differnt tack and shutdown AE, repeated the whole selecting and copying malarky, opened AE, new comp, new layer,ctrl+v and hey presto hello masks!

so I reckon it’s some sort of clipboard thing about having both progs running-but then again what would I know!!!
