Great work Dean. Thought you might like to know you didn’t replace the words “text distractions” next to the movie button 🙂

Sounds like compound paths are the problem. Email the file and I’ll take a look if you like.

Fractal Noise is a great effect that comes with the Professional Version of AE. In the case of the sphere I used a greyscale fractal noise layer with a blocky setting which gave me the “plates”. I animated the evolution property and used this layer as a transparency map. As the fractal noise layer evolves, the “plates” on the sphere appear to fade on and off. Check out the project that you can download with the tutorial – you’ll find the fractal noise composition in there.

How about just linking the light’s Point of Interest property to the clip’s Position property using an expression. Just Option/Alt click on the POI property stopwatch for the light and drag the expression pickwhip up to the clip’s position property and hit Enter. Now where every the clip moves the light’s POI will follow.

Hold down the Option key while using the mouse scroll wheel. The + and – keys on the keyboard also zoom into the timeline.

Write-on doesn’t do square end strokes. No effects that I know of do.

Have you converted your Illustrator text to outlines? If not try that first and let us know how you go. You may also like to try doing a search of this forum… that question comes up regularly.

I think you’ll find that Particular’s version of layer tracking and Invigorator’s version of layer tracking are quite different. Zax or Mark would probably be able to give you a technical explanation as to why the Comp window doesn’t update automatically.
