Have you tried parenting all of the layers to a null object, then scaling the null object ???

I find they look and sound fantastic. I have downloaded some to ipod and was very impressed how clear the sound and image were.

Thanks for the great work, must take a lot of your time.

I have done this in the past. The hardest part is getting the keyframes timing right. We basically had a photo and would throw it down on the counter and then try to match the movement. I remember also using a page turn effect to slight offset a corner as the photo fell. Also important is that when the photo hits the surface, it has to slide slightly…it also has to interact with other photos already on the surface…..pushing them out of the way or moving them slightly as it falls onto them.

Good luck,

Grinner, that was fun and brought a genuine smile to my face.

We picked up a Wii at Christmas and to see my inlaws and parents playing video games was also priceless. The icing on the cake being my 3 year old daughter winning at wii tennis (she just swings the remote around, but somehow it works). I have to say that I am addicted to bowling…..

Back in the day, before I had magic bullet, the following was my recipe that I found worked for me…

Video is set to lower field de-interlace in interpret footage dialog.

Comp 1 (video is placed in this comp) frame rate set at 60
comp 2 (comp 1 is placed in this comp) frame rate set at 29,97
comp 3 (comp 2 is placed in this comp) frame rate set at 23.976

For a better film look, in comp 3 I liked to to duplicate the comp 2 layer and use the Meyer’s instant sex method, using an adjustement layer over top to control levels and also to add noise.

Now add comp 3 to the render queue and make sure field render is set to lower, and that you select 3:2 pulldown (select the last option in the pulldown).

This will usually create pretty nice results, although I have had some issues with certain DV video. Magic bullet does a superb job of this.

Hope this helps

There would appear to be a patch available for European users of BCC4 (Install issues).

Follow the link above, let us know if it works.

Use the toner effect on an adjustement layer and set the adjustement to a mode that give the loook that you are looking for…I also suggest some gaussian blur on the adjustement layer applied before the toner effect. Blue on the toner gives a cooler look, orang-red gives a warmer look, magenta gives a 70s look etc.

To control the effect use a combination of opacity, amount of blur and amount of toner….You can get really cool looks. Add a second adjustement layer above the stack with a levels and or hue-sat filter to control the levels (keep everything legal).

You could use expression to link each parameter to an expression controls effect (slider or whatever works best for you)….this will enable you to control each velocity individually….you could also do this via Nulls if you feel more comfortable with position values (Link each position attribute to it’s own Null….pos-x to pos-x on Null-1 etc…..)

Hope this helps
