Sure you can. You just have to change the interpolation from whatever it is, to Linear. Right-click on the keyframe, or select all keyframes and right-click. You’ll find your options there.
Good luck

Hi everybody.
Since I’ve just installed CS3 I was able to check if my CustomEffect Installer works with CS3, and as some of you probably know… it doesn’t.
Currently I’m working on an update, so CS3 users could also use it.
Sorry for the trouble.Cheers!

To all Mac users:
Yes, you can still follow the tutorial on Mac. I never used Mac, but my understanding is that FFX files (AE presets) work on both systems: windows and mac. So to follow this tutorial you don’t have to download my CustomEffect installer. Instead download the preset alone. It is provided with the tutorial.
Simply download this file: timeshuffler.zip and unpack it. You’ll find two files inside.
The files are:
TimeShuffler.polyCE
TimeShuffler_std.ffxSimply copy TimeShuffler_std.ffx into your AE presets folder, and thats it. You can get rid of TimeShuffler.polyCE if you work on Mac.

Oh. And by the way. Remember that those plugins are not required to complete the tutorial. They are just another tool worth having.

I was using them on several machines, system, and AE installations and I never noticed any problems. And they don’t do much in your system instalation. They are very simple plugins, and I personally don’t think theres much risk installing them. But thats my opinion.

It really depends on the footage. Sometimes all you have to do is apply some blending modes and opacity. You may also want to try Set Matte filter and play with different options. This should give interesting results.
Good Luck

It really depends on how real you want this to look. As far as i remember the blood from Bond was just a solid layer running down the screen, so what you can do is simply create a new solid, and animate the mask shape over it.
Second approach (very simmilar) is to create a solid layer (red of course), then the second one (color doesn’t matter) that is twice as big as your comp, move it up, so the bottom of the layer matches with the bottom of the comp, draw a mask with the shape of the dripping blood you require, animate the mask just a bit, then animate the whole mask layer, and apply its alpha as the alpha matte for the red solid layer.
You can also animate the red solid layer by using liquify effect (you may know it from photoshop), or use some particles, for example Trapcode Particular, or Particle World / Particle Playground, that is biuld into after effects.
Good luck.

I’d really like to see how it looks at the moment. Is there any change you could post a small mov file with the animation?

In fact you can use any filter that fills the layer with one color while keeping alpha channel intact. I belive that “Fill” effect would do just fine. As a matter of fact I still can’t remember why I used CE Solid Color. 😉
