No problem, Gabe. I also just took a look in the AE Preferences file to see if there was a brush size setting in there for Liquify – there was not.

Sorry about that. I notice that with the release of Photoshop CS6, they increased the Liquify brush size from 1500px to 15000px, so maybe there’s something in the pipeline for After Effects as well.

Generally, when there are limits on an input range, you can usually just type in the number you want. I’m not in front of AE right now, but you could give it a shot.

Is there the possibility that it might have been a script?

Ian –
It just occurred to me that the station I worked at for years owned four seats of Edit*, and that they may still have them sitting in one of the storage closets. The trick will be whether the dongle was stored with them, which I fear may not be the case. You could call them and ask either the Chief Engineer or the Production Manager if they still have them.

Hi Ryan –
I do a podcast here and there using Audition, and I have used your method, as well as a more “on the fly” method, in which I just start chopping up segments which have content that makes sense to become a separate clip. I go through the complete audio track, laying down markers on the fly, then “rewind” and cut these into separate files. This allows me to mix and match the content, which doesn’t always follow the way the final piece will flow.
Depending on the length of the final piece, the on the fly method can work well with shorter pieces. With longer final pieces, you have to either organize it in your mind (or in notes), then chop away, or organize it on the timeline, then chop away. Once you get up to speed with Audition, you’ll find that either method can be accomplished pretty fast with keyboard shortcuts, but there’s no substitution for organization.

I guess I need a cup of coffee…I have always used the Alphabetical view, and never even noticed the Categorical sort there right in front of my nose. That said, after poring over the Categorical view for a bit, it seemed a bit confusing to me, since you would need to know which category to look in to find the forum you’re looking for. But as I said, I’ve been using the Alphabetical view forever, so it’s burned into my synapses.

It’s plain as day on my view of the forums list. Nine down under the bolded heading Creative/User Support:, first row on the left side.

I would suggest that you precomp your 3D logo. It’s not likely that the Shatter effect works on 3D extrusions, since it is obviously creating its’ own pseudo 3D in the shatter menu. Of course, by precomping, you’re going to lose the ability to move the logo in actual 3D space as well, but it might work for your needs.

You might remind them in a friendly way that you get much better results from your crew when they’re not passing out from low blood sugar levels. You might also use their meals request as a bargaining chip, saying, “OK, we’ll pay for the meals, but it will raise the 10 percent we just knocked off by 5 percent.”, or something like that. It sound to me as if this client is one of the corporate buzzards who occasionally appear on the horizon, and only go away if you make a loud noise.
Only you know whether you can live with a 20 percent cut in the budget. I often build in a 15 percent contingency fee for clients who are repeatedly disorganized, or demand frequent, arbitrary changes. But generally, I walk away from them. It’s not worth the trouble dealing with people who are constantly nickel and dimeing you.
