[Guido Agüero]

Hey! Thank you guys for this help!

It is a bit difficult for me understand English, but i am going to try this suggestions you gave me!

I am really a bit confuse about the steps you gave me Randy.

So if i get stepped i will let you know!!!

thank you very much guys for helping me!!!

Hey Greg, if you search on google “truss light structure” you will see what kind of structure i am talking about!!!

Really thanks!!!!

[Guido Agüero]

You are right Ted!

I precompose the comp and it works but i really did not wanted to do it! I thought there was a way to do it with out pre-composite it.

thnks anyways for helping me!!!

There is not black solid in there!

Maybe i am not explaining it well.

I have on top of all layers a black circle, with it’s scaled from 0 to 100, that’s is going to be a transition to go to other scene. Right?

There are like 20 different layers behind it and i have set that black circle as “Silhouette alpha” in the blend modes(because is the only mode that shows the alpha channel in the black circle area).

Yeah and also the alpha view bottom is enabled.

It is weird because I see the alpha in the comp but as soon as I export it doesn’t.

I have tested it with different codecs just to try, and using TGA image sequences in 32bit worked as I wanted but in this case i do not need image sequence i need video.

[Guido Agüero]

Yeah the codec i am selecting is “Animation”!

But when renders it gave me a black solid color instead “Alpha channel”!

[Guido Agüero]

Mmm That’s right I already check those out!

Alpha settings are grey out!

[Guido Agüero]

Hey Stefan! Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I have re imported the render to AE but it does not have Alpha! AE does not ask me about alpha.

Where it is suppose to have alpha, AE Renders on Black.

So still looking for some help!

Thanks a lot!

[Guido Agüero]

Hey David! Thanks for the fast reply!

Yes, as you have said… there’re many ways to do that in AE which is amazing!

But the main issue i am having is that the corner of the path is curved it’s not a strait 90 degree angle.
so i finally could do it by copying the path from illustrator and paste it in AE so i could have the same shape of it in AE. Then i put the mask in the 3D stroke effect (this effect allow me to make bigger the brush size so i could fill the path width totally) then animate it from 100 to 0, then I put that mask behind the path then I set it as inverted luma matte and that solve my problem.

The rest of it is to copy the same mask path to the position of the arrowhead and there you go! works is done! activate auto orientation and thats it!!!

I figure this out trying different things and worked for me! but if there is another easy way please let me know in case of having another and bigger arrow path.

Thanks for helping me David and hope you can understand my english!!!

Hey Guys thanks for all the support you have gave me!!!

Really nice!!!

I guess i could get this problem done…

And what I did was to rotate the null object at the very first keyframe of the orientation and also by selecting al keyframes so the orientation doesn’t change after in the timeline…..

that works at least for now but i am still wondering why AE rotate the null from c4d 90 degrees.

Because i have other projects and this don’t happen.

But that’s it!

Thanks a lot dudes!!
