I just uploaded 2 movies created in MOTION and compressed in PIXLET. Higher conpression seems to add artifacts but forms stayed sharp.

I have QT 6 on Panther and it works fine but I don’t know if Jaguar and windows users can access this codec?

here are some tutorials by a COW user

and here some on the LAFCPUG site

I’ll post a sorenson later today

Here is an exemple of what I did with the method I mentioned above in MOTION 1.

They are in PIXLET and weight 3 and 11 MB
I took me 30 minute to cut the swirls in Photoshop, create the particles with the motion path and apply a mask to the swirls in MOTION . I hope it will be easier in MOTION 2 when I’ll get it.

Actually, it is possible to do it with basically the same technique. You have to cut the form like they do in the tutorial and use a mask to reveal it. You could use a particle emitter that draws a line with the “motion path” behavior and use it as a mask to reveal each part of the form.

[Mathieu]

If you export to COMPRESSOR, you should be able to export an M2V and an AIF file by selecting a MPEG 2 preset folder as compression setting.

[Mathieu]

The only thing I see is to use an emitter for every “branch” and duplicate it with different emitting angles.

[Mathieu]

Just add a RANDOM behavior to X and Y position of the object (or layer for simultanious effect on many objects) for the earthquake.
