Stuart –
Did you scroll down the page on the link you posted? He virtually walks you through the process used in creating the titles, element by element. Not only is there imposition of elements going on, but there’s extensive color correction as well. To nail that look would take days of experimentation, which it no doubt did.

Try moving it forward on the Z axis. It’s getting cut off because you have it intersecting with the layer beneath it.

I agree with Tero – most definitely a practical effect: real print, real liquid.

That type of ink drop effect is real – think a fish tank, eye dropper, and some ink. You can also buy them:

Riot Gear has a pretty good collection of ink drops, and a lot more.
Pond5 has a huge variety of ink drop effects in all sorts of styles, which you can buy on a single clip basis – some are pretty cheap:

There’s an awful lot of information, but it will certainly put you on the right track:

Hi Lou –
The only thing I was able to find related to the problem is that certain Mac OS do not support the particular version of AE:

It would be helpful if you list the specific version of AE (down to the decimal points), your platform, OS and version. Since I’m on the PC, I’ll step aside (if you’re on the Mac, that is) and let someone more knowledgeable of your OS step in.

It is a bummer, but the good news is that once you get the color correction nailed (write down all your adjustments), you can create an action in Photoshop which can be run with just a shortcut key. Actions can also work in Adobe Bridge, so you’ll have some automation at hand after the first transfer. It may not work perfectly for every conversion, but it should get you really close.

I’d suggest you start right at Adobe – they offer an extensive library of sound effects for free – here’s the download link:

The only way to get it to match visually is to make adjustments once the graphic is in the RGB color space. Here’s an explanation of why this is the case (last answer on the page):
I’ve been doing CMYK to RGB conversions for years for television graphics (dealing with clients and agencies), and the safest thing to tell them is that you can only “eyeball” it. Tweak the black and white levels, adjust color saturation, and fiddle with contrast until it “looks” like a match. If you can’t see the difference, then it’s likely that you’re client won’t.
I’ve received everything from demands that the colors have to match the PMS chips they submit (which is ridiculous, since I was dealing with additive color and subtractive color in addition to CMYK to RGB), to “just make it look the same as print” (which you can get very close to). I would suggest that once you get your tweaks where you want them, that you save the settings as an Action in Photoshop; that way, you’ll have a close starting point when you have to make another conversion.
