    Let me guess: you’ve tried other output codecs?

    Unless you’re going to DV, I’d try to squeeze a little more information into your final render. DV looks a slight bit like ass.

    Hm. Is it possible to look at the settings for your rendered video? I use Quicktime (command + i) to see the specs. Just to be sure you’re actually seeing interlace.

    Also, what codec are you using to export this AVI?

  • By the way, that suggestion will get you no where near as awesome as the Pierre Michel video you linked to. That’s just too awesome.

  • A single piece of glitter is a small reflective square. As it falls through a fluid (water or air) it will tumble. If there is a light source it will reflect that light source into your eye momentarily when it is at the appropriate angle.

    My advice would be to set up a comp where you have a tiny square that rotates (X, Y, Z) in 3D. Then I’d create a light. I’d set the Specular Reflection of the solid way up and the Metal way down (so it’s very shiny). Then I’d place my light appropriately (head-on light or over head light).

    I’d bring that pre-comp into my working comp, hide it, and set it as the particle (Random, Play Once).

    Dude, you’re going to have to give up some more details if you want this string to bring you ideas. We have no idea what the logo looks like:

    Are the papers lined up in a grid?
    Are they stacked?
    Straight? Messy?
    A clean edge silhouette?
    Negative space showing a shape of papers?
    Do they blow away and curl like natural?

    We have no clue what you are looking at. How are we going to help you?

    Easy. Go to art school. Learn to animate.

    You probably have the “Easy 3D” switch turned on. This switch hides the processor-hogging shadows, DOF and lighting. It’s there with the motion blur on/off.

    There are no folders on the timeline. Your footage comes in to the composition in a precomp if you had it in a PSD folder.
