If you use a particle system like Particular you can apply dynamic effects like wind and turbulance to move the cards however. The trick will be getting them in their initial state. If you can’t manuever that, think about two comps. One of the cards that actually just start disappearing, and the other would be the particle system with the “same” cards blowing away.

In the comp window, at the bottom, look to the button immediately to the right. It brings up the title/action safe guides. It also has the 3D reference axes there.

Another choice you may have available to you is to use the adobe dynamic link into Premiere Pro. If you have it installed, close AE and open Premiere. Under file choose ‘dynamic link’ and import your AE comp from your saved file (note the location first). In Premiere you can render the clip and see the whole thing. If you can run both adobe programs at once without your computer crashing, when you edit in AE, the results will immediately show up in Premiere.

Yep it’s probably that your null isn’t 3D. Also, when you get it all straightened out, make sure you zero out the coordinates (the position x,y,z) of your null and camera. That way they will exist at the same point in the world view and you won’t get any surprise funky moves

Use a layer of the color you want. Mask it. Set it to ‘Add’ or ‘Screen’ and lower the transparency down to where you want. 10-15% maybe. Put the layer in the proper place in the hiearchy.

Try some of the stuff in these:

If I find any more I’ll reply. Stop motion would be a really good way to go. Then use track mattes.

For indepth usage of Mocha, check out all the tutorials by Mathias Mohl. He has some script plugins that make removal a lot simpler.

Uber key because UU shows up all the stuff you’ve done to the layer.

Well, if your original picture was of everything combined then you will have to separate the individual fruits. The downside is that you lose anything that sits behind an object in the foreground. If you film/shoot each piece separately and group them together in AE, then you’ll have independently editable layers.
If you use what you have already, make enough duplicates of the layer to account for each piece of fruit. Mask out everything but the featured item in every layer. Then you can animate the layers independently. Take care, though, in a wiggle or puppet pin not to let the fruit move too much so that you see where the layer is cropped.Hope that clears that up!
