That is similar but not the exact same one. The one I am talking about showed multiple people and you could see the keyboard. But this one certainly helps me start to get a feel for the effect.

Thanks Chris.

I appreciate all the responses and have also gathered some help from another site. But does anyone know what company the spot is promoting?

[Fred Matthews]

The talents eyes are a concern. They do need to be looking in the direction of the active element.

The commercial used different screens with different people. One person at home on their computer another at a laptop then one at work.

I think that if I can get all the elements that our site uses and build a look alike site in AE and then flop the whole thing…it might work. Making the active elements look real would be critical.

Anyone else? I really want to give this a try.

[Fred Matthews]

Steve, I hadn’t tried that but it might not be an issue. It seems to just be this project as it is grabbing things from multiple computers and there are some large files involved.

Chris, what Info Panel are you speaking of? I would like to do that but I did not see an option anywhere for an Info Panel.

Just to update this, I tried once more and didn’t touch anything and the project opeded after about two minutes.

This has never happened before. Normally things open within a matter of seconds or at least give the appearance of opening. But this is new.

Same questions…is there something I might need to do to prevent this?

[Fred Matthews]

The ProAnimator looks very fun and I think I will push towards purchasing it.

Question though…I have a coin that was made in Illustrator that I want to do a slow turn and then a fairly fast rotate to the back and then repeat. I brought it in to the free version and it looked horrible. The coin never looked like it does in Illustrator. First, is that something that is even possible in that version? Second, will ProAnimator work for this?

The coin has a seperate front and back in Illustrator, do I bring it in individually or as one element?

Thanks.

[Fred Matthews]

Thanks for the response Jon. My needs as stated are very minimal. Text mostly althought the currnet project is a rotating coin that I can not seem to do in the free version. But really we only need it for text.

ProAnimator is the one that I was focusing on but if they both can do basic 3D text than either might suit my needs. Is there a huge difference in that aspect of the two?

[Fred Matthews]

Pretty certain that the Avid settings are right. AE is the only stuff that imports funny. Is this a place where Automatic Duck would come into play? I don’t have it and really know little about it except that it is an import/export tool.

Thanks

[Fred Matthews]

Thanks for the information. I will follow that process once it gets in house.

[Fred Matthews]

Anybody?
