Don’t know the process, but CC Particle World SHOULD be capable of it. Trapcode Particular a lot moreso. You’ll have to find a tutorial though as I’m not that great w/ the particle engines yet.

is the original motion path working? You might be able to tie a null to it and then parent the new thing to the null

either that or an expression

Hope that helps.

OMG LOL!!

Mark,

The end of your post just made my morning a lot less awful! Laughing is extremely healthy.

Yeah there’s a few of those commercials.. all those ideas sound great, I’ll be looking into that coming very soon.

I’m looking at a Panasonic Dv-Gs12 for a camera. It’s not the greatest camera on the planet, but it’s my Ferrari compared to the crap I’m using right now.

Soon as I get my hands on it and some DV media I’ll be looking into that.

Want to thank everyone who’s posted and offered their advice and experience. If anyone else wants to pitch in by all means feel free.

Thanks again.

Ah I think I misunderstood.. you want it as a constraint so that it BOUNCES off the comp walls ?

If that’s what you’re after it’s theoretically possible, but it’s not in my knowledge banks 🙁

You’d have to do some kind of if-then setup and compare the position x,y to the comp edges and if they touch reflect the letters off at an opposite angle (unless 90* perpendicular).

My coding experience is in PHP, mySql and HTML so I’m not of much help there.. I’m sure someone on here could whip something up however.

Good luck, hope what little info I’ve provided is some help either to you, or to someone who can code..

the correct syntax (whether it’ll work or not) is

open chevron a href=’URL’ close chevron openchcevron img src=’URL TO IMAGE’ border=0 close chevron open chevron /a close chevron

sry i couldnt get the CODE thing to work…

As for the other part, sounds like a job for a 3d app, dunno if AE can do it or not, I’m not qualified to answer..

You could make a new comp w/ those dimensions, put the text in it, then drop that comp into your main comp.. that’d constrain it to an area then just move that comp position around.

That’s one quick and dirty way of doing it.. Hope it helps.

Sweet thanks!

Tried to do a 3d match move shot in my driveway today… but my camera held me back 🙁 Even after the de-interlace the image quality just wasn’t sharp enough for boujou… -.- (don’t ask.. a friend out of the states has it, i VNC to his machine to use it..I doubt I can ever afford it..). The track points were just all over the place 🙁

I might have to do other projects for now that don’t involve any 3d match moving…

You’re welcome.

As for art schools out here, I’m not entirely sure, I’ve been away for almost eight years. Where I used to live there were two schools, but all the students were in the same situation as me so there wasn’t any helping the schools.

A group of like-minded friends and I are going to be doing some shorts and maybe a full feature or two depending on time/schedules so we’ll see what happens there.
