hi…u can do that by nesting i.e. precomping the whole composition and then apply a time stretch to the new nested/precomp to your desired new duration…hope its what u wanted …cheers…merv

hi…yeah i know those digital dropouts that u r talking about…i used to do it with mosaic and some random square mattes plus i had to create the distorted image and composit it all together and time it perfectly too…it was tedious…i too would like to know a quicker way of doing this…not that i use it in most of my jobs but hey u never know when u might need to do it again…lol…sorry i wasnt much help but from what i know that was the way i used to do it back then and hope it might get u started on some kind of direction to creating that effect…cheers…merv

hi…in force 1, set dept to 1.00 at the point u want the shatter to start and keyframe it…then at the next keyframe set it to 0.20…that should work…hope it helps…cheers…merv

hi…actually sometimes AE does some weird things while you are working on it for too long…what i do is save the current project and close AE and relaunch the program…thats probably what happened in your case…cheers…merv

thats weird … coz when i tried what u did and it worked…i did it 2 ways…first was to create a composition the same size as your photoshop size and imported the photoshop file and dragged it into the timeline…second was to drag the photoshop file into the timeline without creating a composition…AE will automatically create a composition with the same size as yur photoshop size…hope it works for u…cheers…merv

try the quality button at the timeline area…it looks like a back slash ‘\’ icon…that might help…hope that solves the problem…cheers…merv

hi…i tend to stick with the forums and friends using AE…forums r often occupied by users with actual hands on problems with excellent solutions no matter how easy or complicated the effect is…heh call me cheezy but i always go for the cheapest solutions before i start spending money…:)…cheers…merv

anytime bro…im new to AE too so im learning from u too by replicating your problems and trying to figure it out…:)…cheers…merv

hi…im not too familier with photoshop but i use coral draw to do some basic rotoscoping with moving clips as they can be imported as a moving clip where u can jog each frame as u paint…maybe photoshop can too?…well its an alternative u might want to explore maybe?…hope it helps…cheers…merv
