thanks for the tips. I’ll see how I go! I hope I get it right!

Thanks for the reply Steve. I’ll investigate expressions now. Never thought of that!

Now I just need to tackle the background animation so I can go to bed! Ha ha.

Hi Nick,

Yes that would have been the smart thing to do, but I never kept what I was doing because I was so frustrated and it looked so rubbish!

I’m about 6 hours away from my deadline now, so I’ve be searching for some stock-background video to replace it with a similar look – but again no luck.

The video is a hype up video and to be honest, I’m really disappointed with it – I’ve had 3 days to edit a review of they year with photos and music. I’ve done the type like LED lights, and I was hoping a reflection and the above background might save it – but I haven’t been able to manage either!

(I couldn’t do the reflection with or without a plugin (zaxwerks) as everything flys in behind camera.

Any last ideas on blue bars would be very much appricated.

Thanks again.

George.

Thanks Dave, I’ve never seen my computer struggle to play back at full speed. Must be all the Trapcode Starglow and Particular!

I’ll keep an eye out for that now!

Cheers!

Thank you for the detailed response Larry. I also thought this would be a way to complete this effect, and it’s the way I will probably end up doing, mainly because it’s the only way I know how!

I would be interested to see the settings if this was done in After Effects using particular.

But you’re right, I’m probably best off just building it in layers!

Thank you

Thank you – they’ve got some great stuff – just bought the lot!
