Yes, I’m on windows, should have included that in my post. Wish I could help, but it’s a bit difficult when you can’t recreate the problem.

Good luck

Just to make things more crazy, I downloaded and looked at your project and the noise didn’t show up for me.

I noticed the noise is transparency in your project, why not put a white solid back there and see if that gets rid of the problem. Also, render out a frame and see if the noise is in the render-perhaps it’s just in the comp window display(have no idea why that would be though).

I downloaded the project files and it looks like he created the text in Illustrator, copied the paths, made a solid in AE and pasted the paths.

You could also just use the text tool in AE, select the layer and under the layer pulldown choose “create masks from text”

Is there a reason you can’t precompose your mask layer, then add shatter?

If there isn’t much to the project, could you collect the files, zip and upload here. I’ll take a quick look.

Not sure why the workflow you are using isn’t working, but one thing you could do import and keylight in AE, put your background layer in below the greenscreen footage, then render the entire thing out and import into Premiere.

It isn’t as efficient as the method you described, but you can get the job done this way.

Andrew Kramer did a tutorial a few years ago, it was to reveal text, but it might be worth a look:

If you have access to AE, Carl Larsen has a tutorial that simulates whip pans. Depending on your Avid package(plugins) you might be able to do it Avid too.

Gotcha. What you could do is daisy chain nulls. Now that the first Null is too large and hard to move around, create a another null and parent the first null to it….and so on if more are needed.
