Hello, and hope this helps

Shatter may be the one you are looking for, you’ll have to create a big image in photoshop, your grid, also you are going to need the same grid in a black and white you can just duplicate the images layer then select it and fill it with black, keep the transparency. the layer could be in the same photoshop document, once you bring it in to ea add shatter to the images (the grid, it is just one layer) also add the black layer of the grid you will use it as the custom shatter map you are going to have to play with the setting for the animation. for the shape on the pulldown menu for custom shatter map select the layer that is black and white. one thing i have not been able to figure out is to animate the explosion backwards what i had to do is once the animation is the way you think u want it put that comp in a new comp and play it backwards. on the timeline at the bottom to the left of the zoom buttons click on the two trialgles the on the strech value type -100 (minus 100)or select the layer and do (command+option+R)

That tutorial is just what I needed. For some reaseon, changing the fps in the media tab is not working for me but I did try the scrub and it worked great.

Thanks

I have been to the media tab in the inspector and it just wont work, tried different FPS it just wont work. Does it mean that I have to go back to AE?
Thanks

Hi all

I found the the answer to my question, but thanks for your help anyways.

here it is

added a layer then
added a text object (position size etc…)
selected the layer
went to objects menu and selected replicate (short cut letter ” L “)
I needed to scale the copy (replicate) of the text object
so I scaled the replicator object inside the replicated layer
I had to move it to compensate for the scale
since I wanted to use it like a reflection across the panels
I added a copy of the panels to the replicated layer (the copy of the original text layer)
then added an image mask to the replicated layer
turned off the panels inside the replicated layer
selected the image mask
from the layers tab I draged the turn off panels object and droped it in the small drop box with the title “image”
in the image mask tab
set the source channel to Luminance everything else at default

and that is it

Thanks again, and I hope this will be of help to others
