I’ve thought that too. But in the long run I’ve never been sorry that I imported the entire project. It’s just one more folder and– who knows?– you might find something else you needed in that project!

A pretty hot little video.
This wasn’t done with AE’s 3D text animation. I’m thinking that they are precomps of single words that use an animated mask for reveal, an animated anchor point to control the flopping and unfolding and, finally, a light with shadows for the responsive drops.
If you’re new to AE, this would be a good one to get started on. A lot of basic principals crammed into a tiny animation.
Good luck, thanks for sharing the video!

Awesome! Let us know how it works out!

I’m using Trapcode’s shine plug-in (AE 8, Shine 1.0.6) on a solid layer mixed with a lens flare.
Mixed with? So the Shine effect is on the same layer with a Lens Flare Effect? That could be your issue.
Try separating the lens flare to a black solid set to the Add blend mode.
Lens Flare… 😉

Endured?! I watched it 5 times. I don’t know if I could’ve pulled off a lot of those gimmicks while trying. The letterbox mismatch brought me to my ROFLMAO.

Weigh the simplicity of using Keylight to give your subject an instant matte with the complexity of setting up the screen and all that business.
In my example it’s only a 3 frame effect, your’s may be more, but no more than 10.
In my example I composited the body over the speeding vehicle because the body was smaller, requiring less roto points.

I did it years ago… in Photoshop and FCP. You can tap through the frames and see that the mix of footage is only on three very vague frames. The whole effect is sold by sound design.

Try this experiment:
Got to the bottom of the File menu. Project settings. Enable Color Management.Now select your footage in the Project Pane. Cmd/Ctrl F. There’s a Color Management tab.
Put some footage through and let us know how it worked.

Did you say hold the screen so it’s in shadow?

Sorry. Forgot to mention that you should blur the text after you set it to Reverse Alpha Matte. That way, the Fractal Noise “eats” into you text in the last step.
