Hello Aharon,

many thanks for your “How to…” I tried it out already and it works just great.
I actually used an adjustment layer as the base. Don’t know if that causes problems later on… I guess to top it off, a little Motion Blur and the result will be stunning – for me anyway.

Do you think there is a way to eliminate the grid structure completely? I didn’t really manage. I guess I could use another contrast effect ontop of it? But I’m thinking: there must be a more elegant way?

Off topic:
Many thanks also for your AE-Podcasts. It really helped me to find my way round AE much faster. It’s not just what you’re actually explaining but all the little workflow things around it, that make it so interresting. And fortunatly it’s not as “stiff” (as in: uptight) as the Ad*be training DVDs.

Best,

Thanks you very much, that really helped.

The plugin is even affordable @ 99US$
I’ll give it a test run and see what it looks like.

Is there a way to xMult within AE?
How can I create an Alpha Mask within AE? Only by rendering?

Mylenium, would you mind explaining me “unmultiplying”, please?

Many thanks for your help again,

/Harald

Hello,

What a shame…

I guess I’ll try and simulate it with a Twist and some manual lighting…

And thanks for the tip with the plug in – I’ll look into that.

Best,

Dave,

many thanks for your help. I’ll try the first version. I should work fine for what I want to do…

Hello Dave,

many thanks for your input. In my thoughts I missed out the option of grouping them into one “layer”. In fact your solution seems a very good way of achieving my aim. Thanks! …just out of curiosity is it possible to split/cut masks in AE? Like one can do in Illustrator, or the like?

Bye,
