oh thanks for the info. The CC effect that does the trick is the CC PS classic. If you apply it on a layer with a mask, the producer would have the shape of the Mask automatictly. What I wanted was to get the particles come from the outline or path of the mask and not from the hole mask fill, but this still works for me, so thanks.
And yes, de PDF for the CC effects does not explain it very much. I

if you want to import a quictime FCP movie into another machine, you have to be sure, when exporting as a quicktime movie, that the option to make movie self contained is activated. If not, the movie will only play in the machine where you created the movie…

Well, I thought that making a 16:9 standalone DV-NTSC quicktime file would be enough to make an anamorphic DVD from DVD Studio Pro or IDVD, and the process is the same to make a 16:9 quicktime file for the web, only changing the codec for the web. Anyway, yes there are two different things, and thanks for the anwers, but my question now is: does the sequence settings need to be with the anamorphic checkbox activated when I export the quicktime file (using quicktime conversion)? I think this question is for both making an anamorphic DVD and exporting the 16:9 quicktime file with a full rectangular frame size, not letterboxed. I have tried to make a quicktime file, with a rectangular frame size, to make an anamorphic DVD with it. but the only way I

I want a Dv-ntsc quicktime file with a rectangular frame size to create a DVD, I know a letterboxed 4:3 movie file will also work, but I want to learn how to do a quicktime file with a full rectangular size, because I know it can be done, just like the quicktime files that you see on the internet. like the quicktime movie trailers on apple.com for example. Maybe in the near future I will need to edit a 16:9 movie for the web, so I want to know how do you make this type of files.

Ohh, Now I understand what you had told me, You mean when I import the footage to AE to work for, But the funny thing is that I have changed the interpret footage setting of All layers in AE to a pixel aspect ratio of DV NTSC widescreen 720×480 (1,2) And I
