I draw a magnify glass in Photoshop and importet it to my comp. I tried as you said with centering the magnify effect in the middle of the glass and parentet my adjustment layer to my glass layer, nothing happend, the magnify effect just stayed in place, I also tried put the effect on the glass it self but no luck there either…

There must be away I can make it follow my glass image??

basicly i import a drawing of a magnify glass i created in photoshop. I want to have the magnify effect only in the glass, but i bo going to animate the glass so it would be moving a bit around, so do i have to keyframe every frame or is there an other way? Please advice?

when you say the size i need from the adjustment layer then you mean i make a mask on the adjustment layer, the size i want . am i right?
Sorry for this basic question but how and what is the approch for the track matte?

[Hamid Rohi-bilverdy]

thanks for reply.
I tried to duplicate the layer and replaced the second layer with a precomp with the image i wanted to apear on one of the shattered piceas. Then i made a mask on one of the piceces, and from there nothing happend. It just leaves the yellow outlined lines from the mask and my image next to it.. How can i mask one of the picers on the shatter layer, i dont know if it is possible.. Please advice..

thanks Theo.
So what format do you think is best for importing into pI?

[Hamid Rohi-bilverdy]

Yes I found out how and when to trigger the settings. Just have to play around a bit to see it.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.

Hi dave.

Funny you just wrote that, as I was to to post my latest update on this issue, you wrote exactly what I was about to post.

So I precomposed my layer with the CC spehere and it worked. So, behind the layer ( precomp one ) I added a solid layer under it, which is my space layer, and it did not work if i precomped that with the CC spehere, but if i add a solid under the precomp of only the world cc spehere , IT WORKS…

Great I at last found this, I really appreciate you help Dave. Now I just have to find out how to specify the shatter effect so it wont break the hole layer but only limited to the earth.

ok I really dont understand this. If I just take the world map jpeg file and add it to the timeline and add the shatter effect to it, it works. But when I use the CC spehere effect on it, and then add shatter effect and change the view mode to render, it crashes???

Cant the shatter work on a CC spehere image or what am i missing here??

Please advice.

regards Hamid

Yes I did that. And strange only this effect seems to crash it!!
