Man, you embarrass me. That’s great. Thanks!

I’d like to create a line that gets fatter as it lengthens from left to right, but I want the previous thicknesses to remain unchanged, so at full length it will look kind of like a stretched out triangle (one pixel on the left, 25 pixels on the right). I’ve tried combining the stroke width property with the trim path property, but that fattens…

Sorry. Posted in error. Disregard.

Newb here. When shooting non-log (gamma?) footage, one approach to getting the best color results is to shoot a color card at the start of each clip which you can then use to properly set white balance in post. Then start grading. When shooting log footage, however, you’re, generally, supposed to apply a LUT. I realize that’s more of a grading… Read more

While waiting for tips, I came up with the idea of placing the scrolling video on a track beneath the main one and using a mask to let it show through. That seems to work (https://youtu.be/7tEKPycs5vE).

I know how to scale a clip and move it around to create a normal picture-in-picture, but I need something a little different. I’ve created an instructional video that’s demonstrating written instructions. I’d like the instructions to scroll in a small window in the corner of the main video. The instructions are just a jpeg that I’d like to be…

I’ve created two graphics and placed each on a different layer, then grouped the two layers together. My goal is to be able to select one graphic and copy it to a new document, then select both graphics together and copy them to another new document. My plan was to turn off the visibility of the second graphic when making the first selection,…

I have a .psd file in my timeline I’m trying to push in on by scaling from 100% at the start of the clip to 110% at the end, about five seconds later. The .psd is the only media on the timeline during this period. Instead of a smooth push, however, the image stays at 100% for the first four frames and then visibly jumps to 110%. I say “visibly”…

I haven’t solved it, but it doesn’t happen in the exported video, so that’s they key thing. The Display First/Second/Both Fields options are grayed out for me, maybe because this project is 1080p?

It’s set to Full.

I’m doing a screen replacement in a static shot by simply superimposing (on a higher layer) a JPEG of the screen I want over the screen in the shot. In the attached screencap, the upper photo shows what I see while positioning the JPEG. The lower photo shows what’s displayed during playback. The problem is those black artifacts across the white…

Not exactly. That describes the categories that effects are organized into, but (except for a few exceptions) doesn’t tell you the effects’ names. If I don’t know an effect exists, I don’t know to look for it. I have to guess that it exists, and then what category it might be in, which is better than nothing, but not as good (for me anyway)… Read more

Thanks, Filip. That’s a big help, especially the CC list. Btw, what’s the difference between CC effects and non-CC effects?

As a newb to PP the number of effects that come bundled is overwhelming. The only way I even know what’s there is by seeing specific effects used in examples of more complicated effects that I come across online. Has anyone ever created a comprehensive list of them or, better yet, a list with examples? Thanks for any pointers.
