the things we do.
That’s a depressing ad, not wanting to turn this post into a rant, but it’s little wonder we’re all screwed up.

You could also try AE’s built-in liquify effect.

Grrrr, genius. Thans for sending me the link. Any idea why Apple would choose to disable that functionality?
That’s it, i’m ranting for the rest of the day now.

if you have quicktime installed, After Effects can import a swf directly. I have to do this all the time.
You might want to think about frame rate, AE does a pretty good job of sorting it out automatically, but it would probably give a better result if your flash movie is set to 25 fps or 29/30 fps.
Hope that helps

I’m guessing you’ve fallen into the same trap I did when i first got AE. Go to composition, and choose new composition. Your first timeline will pop up. Of course, you can ave many compositions in one project and they can all interact. Welcome to an awesome application.

Well, if you’re on a budget then I’d say either particle playground or foam is the way to go. Create your water jet on a new layer – just use the preset red pixels for now – (or change to white actually)
then once you’re happy. Pre-compose this layer – make sure you choose to take all attributes with it. Then use this pre-comp as a displacement map for your footage. This should give you the lensing effect water has.
If you put the pre-comp above the footage layer and mess around with transfer modes, you might even be able to get a sheen on the water.
Hope that helps

Use the text pre-set gallery in After Effects to pick a text pre-set you like, there’s several that do this effect you’re after. (I think it’s in the help section???)
Then I’d be most tempted to export the effect to premiere and export from that. Because the effect is so short, I’d just export without any compression. It’ll make a huge file, but you won’t have to start fiddling on with different lossless codecs.

The shots in emily rose are really short, wouldn’t the company have just used AE’s liquify filter?

Actually that’s not entirely true.
The Education version of After effects doesn’t come with the Cycore plugins, although you do still get Keylight.
