I figured out that an adjustment layer would help me get the effect. Yay 🙂 Thanks for everyone’s help. The tips on using the render que vs export were really good.

Hi Darby,

The problem is that when I apply the effect to the box layer, it applys it to the whole layer and not just the box… So, how do I get around that?

I think I understand what you’re saying.. that AE shapes are not necessarily PS or AI vectors… i follow you.

I’m open to suggestions… if I need to bring in a graphic from photoshop as a bitmap, or a vector drawing from AI, I will.. I still don’t understand how I can simply apply the etherial effect to an object (no matter what it is, AI, PS, vector, bitmap, etc.) versus the whole layer. Is it possible to create this effect?

Here is a snapshot of the video I’m working with. As you can see, the etherial effect is being applied to the whole slide, and I just want it applied to the blue box holding the text of her name…

Can you tell me how I can achieve this?

Think there was a typo there…

So, would I need to create the shape as a graphic and then bring it in, or turn it into a mask, or do some other funky AE task? Sorry if I’m not following…

Thanks Adolfo. Sorry it’s not clear to me…

So, if you wanted to apply the etherial effect, to a shape or graphic only, and not to the whole layer, how would you do it? Is it possible?

Thanks Dave,

That’s helpful! I’ve been reading and going through Lynda.com tutorials… but still, things come up and I don’t even know how to ask the question 🙂

🙂 John

Thanks Steve,

Sorry for the basic question… I’m new to the applications. I’ve looked in the help sections but they weren’t very helpful to me 🙂

In AE, I did file/export/QuickTime Movie … but then, in the settings for the compression, I didn’t see anything that let me choose straight alpha. I chose cinepak for the compression, millions of colors. Am I just doing this all wrong?
