“Close up on Aero
This Aero spot was directed by PSYOP

hmm………..maybe precomp the fish swimming into another comp with an adjustment layer and a ripple or wave effect on the adjustment layer so the fish ripples just a bit as it swims around,…..
-
Hmmm….it sounds as if this effect involves disintegrating into ‘3d cubes’.
I am not sure of any plugs that would do ‘exactly’ that……I would personally do it in a 3D app, then composite in AE.
Good luck,….hopefully someone else knows of such a plug……..

I assume you have checked the ‘continious rasterize’/’collapse transformations” icon on the illustrator layer?
If not, that is the source of your problem.

In my personal experience,….using rpf’s is quite a pain,….especially when trying to match alot of elements. And figuring it out can be tough since you must understand that in MAX’s world, 0,0,0 is the center of 3D space,….wheras in AE 0,0,0 is the upper left corner of your comp, with a Z depth of 0. Not to mention the y and z axis are flipped.
The only solution I know of that makes MAX/AE integration ez is MAX2AE from http://www.boomerlabs.com I believe they have a free timed fully functional trial as well. Give it a shot,…

Hmmm….well in AE6.5, under “Composition” there is a “save frame as”, if you highlight it, a dropmenu appears to the right where you must either choose “file” or “photoshop layers”.
If you choose “file” it pops open a standard Render Queue dialog box, now the output module says “photoshop”,….but just like any other usage of the Render Queue you can simply change that to whatever you wish.
If your’s does not operate that way, then I have no clue what the issue may be…..
Good luck!
-
Sure you are not using ‘save frame as’ -> photoshop layers??
The “‘save frame as’ ->File, brings up the nomral render output window where you can select any output/render settings you wish……..
-
yup. Save frame as allows full saving functionality, only without having to deal with workspace issues. It is great for snapping off differant points in time of the timeline as it saves the pic wherever your timeline marker is positioned……….
-
Use ‘save frame as’……alot quicker than fussing about with work area and sequence rendering…..
-
You can use the ‘create keyframes from audio’ or ‘render audio to keyframes’ to generate a set of keyframes,…..then you can use a simple expression to offset the values to somewhere between say 0 and 100 using this value to control brightness of the light.
Although, honestly,…the best way to do this would be with Sound Keys from Trapcode.
