Hi Filip, this should get you started:

Hi. Yes I have the image set to auto orient to camera, not the null. Yes it does continue to face the camera as it rotates.

Hi Dan, in a rough-up I’ve done it seems to work fine. Do you have a camera layer?

Hi Nick, do you mean you want them to leave a trail? If so then I don’t know a way of doing that (short of things like Particular, which have auxiliary particles). You could try making your precomp wider (say 1000 w x100 h pixels) and keyframe the line/solid to grow from the right to left – this would give you a particle that gets longer as it travels.

Hi. Make a small square precomp (say 100x100px). Add a white solid (comp size 100×100) and unlink its x/y co-ordinates by selecting the little chain symbol beside them. Set the Y to, say, 5 %. In your main comp use Particle World and set the Particle Type to Textured Square and set Texture to the precomp. To make the line thicker/thinner you can alter the Y width in the precomp – by making the line thinner you can make it appear longer in the main comp by balancing the birth Size etc. in Particle World. It will maybe take some fiddling.

Hi Martin, when you paste the masks they seem to come in with roving keyframes (the round ones not the diamond shaped ones). Strange.

Hi Patrick, this post at the Adobe forum might give you some ideas:

Hi Rob. Have a look at using Displacement Maps – there are quite a few tutorials around if you do a search.

Hi. I think we will need to see an image of the After Effects composition. The thing I do notice is that it appears to have a drop shadow of some sort on the text which might have something to do with it? If this is the case what is the shadow falling onto?

Hi Brian, the link doesn’t work.
