In Mac press cmd-shift-4 and drag around the area you want as an image.

If you are using Windows then press the print screen button on your keyword, open Phosothop, create a new document and paste. You may need to crop your image.

Firefox have some add-ons that let you export the contents of your browser window, but that will not help you with a word file.

Also, you can print to a document as a PDF, then open the PDF in Photoshop and export it as a JPG.

You can tweak the size and position of the texture map if you assign it as a Layer Map.

-In AE add your texture as a Layer and precomposite it.
-Choose your layer as a Layer Map in the Invigorator properties.
-Create a new material for your bevel and assign the Layer Map to it.

Now you can modify your precomp rotating, changing dimensions, colors, etc. and your bevel will update.

Assign the Layer Map is kind of hidden. To define it you need to do it in the Invigorator Effects Controls panel in AE. To assign the Layer Map to a texture you need to create a new material inside Invigorator interface, add a new shader to the color of the shade, then select your Layer Map in the shader type drop down menu.

If your company name already has some local recognition, you already have branded it. You may want to modify it adding or tweaking something in the name to keep the actual value.

There are exceptions, of course, but short, memorable names have an extra value. Having a meaningful name will give an extra value to a new company.

Personally I don’t like names of creative business that are called creative themselves. If you’re creative, get an original name.

You should be fine with 24PN if you want your finished video at 24fps.

Shooting in 30P will only give you bigger files.

An indirect way to solve that problem is explained in a VideoCopilot tutorial.

All interaction in Flash is made with Actionscript, but there are some simple behaviors for AS2 that are very easy to apply.

In Flash you have a timeline, layers and keyframes. That part will be very familiar for an After Effects user. Those are the main tools you need to animate objects in Flash (movie clips in your timeline will be like pre-comps in After Effects).

The rest of the tools and concepts will be very different.

So, there are good news and bad news as always. Good luck!

It looks to me like a standard keyframe animation in the timeline.

For your question I assume you don’t know how to use Flash at all. If you’re familiar with After Effects you may find some similarities. You can animate the whole thing in After Effects and export it as a swf, but this is not the optimal way. Better do it inside Flash.

The easier method is the “Outline Stroke” that Edward explained.

I have opened with no issues many Illustrator CS3, CS4 and CS5 files. The only catch is to save them with no compression.

There’s a tutorial on how prepare Illustrator files for Invigorator here:
