Hey Tom

The graph editor will let you do exactly what exponential scale will do. Setup two scale points then select both at hit F9. This will Easy Ease both of them and give you bezier handles in the graph editor. Now go into the graph editor and grab the first handle and drag it straight down to the level of the other one (Hold Shift while dragging), the end scale keyframe handle can come straight left towards the first. This will create an exponential scale.

No Prob, there’s a link at the very top of the forum that goes to Common Questions- here’s the thread

Here’s the specific tutorial for the vines:

Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

I agree, there is some effects applied that mirror and rotate it to enhance the effect, but I don’t think it was computed generated.

[Jeff Mcbride]

Can you add an adjustment layer to the top of the stack and key out with that? or just pre-comp it and key out that way?

[Jeff Mcbride]

Under Time is an effect called Echo. The Decay setting will help with the fade outs.

There’s a great tutorial on how to grow vines if you click in the Common Questions Thread at the top.

Use the graph editor and adjust the waves to smooth the scale out.

Try typing the word you want, then go to Layer–> Create Outlines. This creates a new layer that uses masks to replace your text (making it unsuitable for editing later) If you type M with the layer selected it will drop down all the mask properties.

For TV static, apply Fractal Noise and set it up roughly like this:

Noise Type: Block
Transform–> Scale: 2
Complexity: 1

Then animate the evolution over time.

To get the pull together text effect you could select all your masks, set a keyframe, move backwards on the timeline and double-click them in the comp window to get a bounding box, then scale them up holding Shift+Apple (or whatever the Windows equivalent to Apple is) If you need more distortion you can continue to skew the mask shapes and plays with some distortion effects.

Hope that helps.

My guess would be just film splattering ink and overlay it with various transfer modes. It could be done a number of ways but that would be the easiest.

The file you’re looking at is Quicktime VR. I did a couple in the past by taking around 16 images of the same scene (they have cameras made for this effect as well) You’ll have to find a Quicktime VR creation program, I’m sure you can find one that is freeware or open source, jsut search. But you load the images, tell the software all the lens specifications and it roughly creates a panorama. Then you just match up some of the images better by hand and export and you’ve got a panorama. Very simple process. If you take a pic with any movement in it you’ll need a special camera so that you get the pic in one shot.
