Hey, well that seemed to work, thanks very much… just one problem though – once I’d finished updating the animation, the project crashed and I’ve now got a ‘There is a corrupt Zaxwerks project in this file’ error whenever I try to open any of the projects I’ve been working on.

Argh!?

I’ve tried deleting the Zaxwerks perferences file, but I’m still getting the error.

Any ideas what I can do to fix that? I’m a bit worried that I’ve just lost two days’ worth of work…

Cheers.

When you say they’ve ‘become a mix’ – do you mean that they’ve gone from stereo to mono, or something else than that?

Also, what format is the tape you’re using?

Amazing! That’s spot on, does exactly what I needed it to.

I’m certainly going to be using this tool again – many thanks, David 🙂

Cheers,

Spot on!

Thanks guys, this worked perfectly.

That’s pretty cool! Thanks 🙂

But what if I don’t want the end opacity to be 100%? I’ve tried altering the expression to say something like

t = timeToFrames(time)/2

random(t,50)

And that works fine up to frame 200 – but then it goes rather odd, going more than 50% transparent after that point. I suppose I could just cut the layer and have a second one set permanently at 50% transparency starting at 200 frames in… but it would be nice to keep the number of layers down! Is that possible at all?

Cheers,
Geraint.

Heh, it’s an interesting video (but I did prefer the Radiohead original – both the song and video were top class)
