yeah, AE motion blur really is yucky. The other option is to output the frame rate much higher and just for the lensflare, so if it was 25ps, up it to 100fps or 200fps then render it out. Then re-import the footage (make sure you interpret it properly) then whack it back in the projects, turn on frame blending and you’ll have atleast what AE does, although I think you might have to make it 200fps so it’s got 8 levels or frame blending. Anyways, I’m just guessing … so don’t shoot me if it doesn’t work .. LOL.

hey,

what kinda realness are you going for? something cartoony, real or hyper real? I had to do something for a kids show once, the words were formed from water drops but each letter was a water drop. Is that what your after or is each letter formed from little drops that stick to the surface of what ever your placing it on?

I can take a stab in the dark, What it sounds like your trying to do is a top view of a word or picture and then you want a drop to land and then reveal the image. That reapeated x 1000 and the whole image is on the screen. You might want to look at making some little animations of water hitting the ground from top view. then use that to drive the transition of the footage/text. as for the actual water falling, you could do that with a particle emmiter and just hang it above the camera .. you wouldn’t need the 2 to match, because it’s more the suggestion .. and I don’t know if it could be done, not with out some serious work .. anyways, hope that helps

Hey,

What you need to do is select the layer you want to track in the timeline and then do the Animation > Track motion. You can also Rmb (right mouse button) the layer name and you’ll see it in the drop down menu. Then the tracking menu will appear and you’ll be able to start.

if you have any more info about what it’s not doing, that would help too .. but thats the best guess I got for now.

No, but it does require you to activate via the web.

hey,

Never done it but I thought it would just be some kinda distortion. Involving raytacing on max/may and some kinda nice glass/gass shader. Failing that, you could do something with gradients and circles and then using them to drive a distortion plug in on the footage you want to do that with. I’m just guessing but that’s what I would try if I had to do something that looked the same ..

Good luck,
