Tell me about it, lol.

I have however come with a solution.

First I timemap the slide sequence then for the bits I want to scale up I cut those bits using the razor tool then I nest that part and apply scale and position keyframes.

Still can not figure out why it would not work any other way.

Yes I have tried to nest the time mapped sequence. I have also rendered out the sequence and imported as a MOV and still the same thing.

I will try cutting out the bits I need to change settings for and see if that works.

It is ok. I know from past experience myself never assume anything.

I have another screenshot just to show the keyframes in place. Notice how the number is larger than the original 70% but on screen the slide is the same size.

It should be one of the simplest things to do but for some reason it is being a nightmare.

I need to scale up the nested sequence from 70% to about 80% and then back to 70%.

See Screenshot above. I need to make the Slide on the right bigger to fill the frame and also change position. I can fade out the presenter no problem.

I have only just started out with AE myslef but I think I have somewhere you can go to get the skills needed.

Goto https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/all/

Then look at these Tutorials:

Magic Glass
Medical Zoom 01
Medical Zoom 02
Medical Zoom 03
Earth Zoom

I would say by combining the skills from each of these you would be able to get the right effect for your client. I would love to see the end result.

I hope this helps.

Thank you very much Chris for your help. I tried all that and did not work. So I did yet another complete system install.

This time after installing all drivers installed Adobe CS3 Master Suite first. Then checked AE was working and it was. Evey time I installed a new program I re-boot and checked if AE was still working. Finally found out it was the software for my Kworld DVB-100 Digital TV card that was doing it. So I have disabled the TV card and everything is working fine.

I will have to see if Kworld have updated drivers and see if that works.

But again thanks for the help.

Hi guys. I am having the same problem ” After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore” I am running CS3 Master Collection. Just re-installed OS (XP) Installed some Trapcode plug-ins and now After Effects comes up this error.

I understand about uninstalling AE but what is .GL? New to technical Adobe stuff.
