Thanks for the tutorial link Dave.

Looks like it contains a lot of useful info. I must say AE7 is a massive jump up from 5.5 in terms of what you can do!

I think I’ve seen what your are talking about… the basic text creation right? The appears to be a new animate button there.

However I still can’t work out how achieve what I’m looking for? 🙁

There’s no ‘visible characters’ setting for a start nor can I see where I would have controls over individual letters scale parameters??

Please help!

Thanks for the replies guys.

I’ve downloaded the trial version of 7 to see what it can offer.

From first glances I can’t see any new path text functions which would allow me to create the effect I want??

To recap I’d like to be able to type in letters which fade up. As each letter appears it ‘zooms up’ or grows. To do this I’m kinda thinking I’ll need seperate scaling controls for each letter??

Would anyone like to tell me what I missing if 7 is able to achieve this effect eaily?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply Aharon.

The format is just plain old vanilla WAV. I tried exporting it out at different sample rates but with no success.

Earlier I tried installing a clean version of 5.5 on another machine and running my comp there. Result – it worked perfectly. AE had no problems using the WAV files.

This leads me to suspect theres some odd codecs or something on my main pc causing this problem? All I can think of now is doing a complete format and reinstall on my main work machine…? 🙁

Aha! Thank you I never knew that!

Now it makes sense. 🙂

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I am using a set (400) bitrate… but why should that mean the sizes would be the same? Ones less then half the res as the other?

Thanks for the replies guys.

Mike_S, CC Page Turn doesn’t appear to be in the version I have, 5.5 prod ver?
I’d love to upgrade to version 7 but money is tight at the moment and Adobe’s HUGE mark ups for us poor Europeans mean we pay almost double! Outrageous really.

Looks like I’ll be rendering it out in Maya. Glad I checked with you guys though first.

Thanks again!
