have you looked at some of andrew kramers 3d planet tutorials? there are a few of them that could help you. at videocopilot.net

i know exactly what you mean, i haven’t found a way to fix it but the best way to work around it is to slow the footage down a bit, then export it, bring it back in, slow it down again, and so on, but thats only if you need it to go SUPER slow

[I.a. B.]

to do this quickly you could try to use andrew kramers blow out pre set, as said above there are other (and maybe better as this is not intended for this effect) ways to do this but you could probably tweak it a bit and maybe get what you need.

oh sorry, you said mask at one point so that tripped me up.

hmm i’ll have to try some things out. someone will probably think of something better by the time i figure a decent way out.

under the menu for the mask there should be a thing that says “mask expansion”

thanks! i JUST got a displacement map to sort of do it a little while ago, but i didn’t think of the track matte, i’ll give that a shot

you’ve got to do a ram preview to hear the audio click the ram preview button in the time controls window, if thats not it you’ve got some other problems
