Take a look at this. It would be best if you tried the demo and played with it some you just might get what you want.

Certain aspects only have a portion of the mode types available. Under modes and switches is where you will find the whole list. Just follow the layer time line across left to right and you will see the word normal (if you are in the modes function not switches) if you click the word normal it will bring up all the modes. The toggle for switches/ modes is along the bottom of the timeline frame.

Just the opposite. (Billions and Billions)

Well, alrighty then.
So, I go to photoshop and I make 2 new graphics. one zig zags and one poka dots. I make them consisting of 3 layers. A solid background, a copy of the background with the dots or zigs, and the third layer the dots or zigs on a transparent background. Ok two graphics one dots and one zig zags. I also go into channels, and with the dots or zigs selected, create an alpha channel. I save both artworks as varing amounts of layers from flattend thru the 3 layers with an alpha channel.
I load all sorts on combinations of layers, alphas, into AE and not only that I change the interpert footage settings- i.e. ignore, straight umatted,
and premultiplied-matted with color.Also, under modes I checked and unchecked the T transparency and inverted and also worked with the TrkMat.. Track Matte settings.
I now understand why I did not have a grasp on Masks, Mattes, Alpha Channels. Billions & billions (god bless Carl Sagan) of combinations. Man talk about complexity. When a person fully has a grasp of all of the effects available along with modes “silhouette alpha” (nothing’s NORMAL) one definately gets a gold star right in the middle of his forhead.
After ten hours today now, I at least appreciate what I am trying to understand. May the ghost of Einstien fly up my nose.
This definately has a difficulty factor of 8 or I gotta buy the book.
Once again- I appreciate everyone’s help
AND… Has anyone been to http://www.photo.net– It would be way cool if this site also accomodated and displayed members motion graphics artwork– I know big task but I’m a dreamer.
Not only that but I feel that what is going on here is a forerunner to a widely accepted artform. I know it already is an artform but “the people” don’t even know it.
I’m a newbee but I think I should repost this message.

Will the Canopus Adv 110 work with the firewire out?

Could your text be a cast shadow? I can’t help much more than just with the idea.

There was a post 5 to 10 days ago talking about several layers of the same text over top of each other giving you a 3D look to the text. Look for that message.

If I could add a question of a similar nature, thanks.
All of my original material is created in Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator. Some of the digital artwork are digital photos PSD.s fine tuned in photoshop. I am currently using NTSC D1 720×540 sq pixel compositions in AE. I render these as (stretch) NTSC D1 720×486 video for windows .AVI’s. The avi’s are then imported to premier for edit and soundtracks .wav. The finished Premier movie is saved as a non compressed .AVI and then imported into Encore where I do the transcoding (all best quality)7Mb vbr 2 pass for video and pcm sound. My movies are not very long so DVD 5 has enough space.
Does this seem to be the best way to go for DVD’s that are played back on television sets and/or home entertainment systems?
Thanks, hope I didn’t confuse any issues
