I see.
Mpeg streamclip only gives me a white image + audio.
Ffmpeg I was finally able to download, but nothing happens when I click the .exe-file, so I dont know whats the thing there.

But thanks anyway..

vegas pro 10.0
Quicktime 7.5 (861)
I am about to download Quicktime pro now, I think I can remember that I can export files with quicktime Pro, to see if that helps?

I think I also got it as a ProRes file(???), but I can not see/open it in any way (it is 22,7gb, while the one I can view in VLC, but not render correctly is 4,4 gb)
I was thinking about uploading the file to the videos/reels here at creativecow, but it seems maximum size is 1gb…

Roland R. Kahlenberg wrote some long expression to have light all around logo. I could not make this work, but just set the ambient light within shatter to 1, and turned down the main light. And there was light all around the logo…

Thanks. For now I just parented the layers together, and put most of them in shy mode.

But I’ll use your link if I cant do that sometime later.

Thanks again,

Thanks a lot. I wouldnt have figured out all that expression-things in my lifetime.

I havent got it right yet, but I think I’ll go through some old total training dvd’s about 3d, and see if I get some basic knowledge.

Thanks a lot to everyone for your help =)

Hello again. Your project worked very well, bob, it was easier to understand now, and I can make it go around the text well.

What would be nice was if I could make lines not only go 2d around the text, but also closer to and further away from the camera, in front of and behind the text.

I tried to put the cc particle effect directly on the “line-layer” from illustrator, but gravity made it a bit wrong when upside-down, and also if I tilt it on the z-axis(?) the layer disappears/becomes totally flat at one point.

My question would be if it is possible to add the producer point for particles to the corner of one the other layers in bob’s comp, and keep its 3d, and not become 2d-flat when rotating..?

Another thought – is it possible to set the cc particle producer point to a mask path..?
If I could then make the producer point follow a circular/oval mask path, and then 3d-animate the mask-layer..?
parenting, pick whip, something like that..?

I tried to set keyframes for the producer point position in cc particle, but no good results.
I also tried searching for cc particle tutorials, but I could not find much. Any good tips?

Thanks,
-Kenneth

Im just happy that I’m living in Europe, so hopefully no one will kill me today…

I appreciate all help and emotions that are put into this mystery.

[Kenneth Tolaas]

oh, I did not notice the mention of CC Particle world. I’ll see if I can make it work.

otherwise I’ll consider buying some Particular some day…

I made it work quite well, but when I turn around the blue lines with 3d, they are totally flat, is there a way to make them thicker, to make them 3d as well, I guess it would be..?

[Kenneth Tolaas]

thats the kind of answers we like.. =)

I havent used 3d before, but I will try your recipe, and see if I can make it work..
