Not at all what I wanted to hear but totally what I expected.

Thanks

That is what i thought but I had never seen this window before.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Shouldn’t be. This is a brand new keyboard as of three weeks ago.

Spoke too soon. I forgot to re-do the effect on the pre-comp. That seems to have done it.

Thanks

I do have a position and scale move on this image. Just tried pre-composing it to no avail…same thing happens.

My 8 bit had gotten switched to 16. I never work in 16 so I didn’t realize that that was the issue. Easy fix.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Roland that worked. I forget about the character offset because it isn’t a look I use much but it fit in this case.

Thanks

[Fred Matthews]

Thanks for that information. I think we have decided to leave the comp[uter as is minus the Avid application.

Thanks

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Here is what I have done initially…I duplicated the layer, added Gaussian Blur with a very high concentration of blur – 75, switched to trnsfer mode Screen and left the opacity at 100.

This has given me pretty much what I wanted. A very nice glow without a beam of light effect like I was getting from Shine and Starglow.

I do plan on trying out some of these other ideas to see which my boss prefers but at least I am on the right path.

Thanks

I do not have Magic Bullet and I am ashamed to say that I do not have the AE bible from the Meyer’s so I am unaware of the method that you are referring to. Can you give a rundown of what to do?
