Draw a path around your final Letter and use the path (mask) morphing feature to create a different shape. Make sure you draw the overlap youself.

Use the nesting in Premiere

1# sequence: add a cyan circel animation above the original footage track

2# sequence: Now circel and footage are bound in a nested sequence and scale them together to the corner. Revealing a sheet with text ( I would create that one in Premiere itself)

Save your project, import it 40 times and replace the footages

Mask out the scene as large as possible.

Duplicate the layer and use the RepeTile effect to expand the lower layer (mirroring might work, slide will work)

Hit ctrl(cmd)+alt+T to time-remap the lower layer and use a single keyframe for a freeze frame.

Or choose 2 keyframes and add in the expressionfield:

loopOut(“pingpong”);

Or a simpel:
loopOut();

Create a more smoother transition with the mask feathering of the upper layer combined with the mask expansion.

Very odd indeed? I also would suggest looking at the shutter settings, angle and phase.

I still have to figure that one out. The empty space around your object is black, unless you use an environmentlayer. By using a green / blue environmentlayer and a color-key, you can isolate the reflection. But it certainly has its limitations

I never used the double-cam solution. But creating a null object at the position from the floor, link a duplicate from the object to the null and only changing the y-scale from de null to -100%

But the Environment layer might be a problem that can be solved bij mirroring the horizon. It all depends on what your wishes are

Almost sounds like the old AE shatter effect. I suggest you check it out☺.

Perhaps you can also create an image sequence of 5 unique frames and use the time-displacement to offset the display of each frame?

[Mark Doctor]

For the true reason you should now why array’s are used. That’s a lot of computer science and in the end you probably agree the way it is ????

Fiedler: The satellite is 155 miles above the Earth. It can only look straight down.

Jones: That’s a bit limited, isn’t it?

Van: Well, maybe you should design a better one.

Ah i see the problem, im not near an AE-workstation currently, but if a direct solution is needed:

Add 2 sliders from expression control to your layer and pick whip x to one and y to the other. After that you can add both slider value’s to your graph-editor.

Array’s in AE don’t have separate value’s in the graph editor. That’s the reason for the separated (position) dimensions.

X,Y and Z, it only works on 3D-layers. So make it 3D first.
