I see I can copy a shape path to a mask path, so that helps a little..

Thanks Edward!

How do you rotate the texture? I have a bunch of lines of music instead of one long one, I need to rotate the texture 90 degrees..

Think of it more like a rollercoaster..
I have a vector logo that I want to travel and deform/bend along the path as it curves and spirals..
The logo is the coaster and the path is the tracks..

In 3dsMax there is a “path constraint” for exactly this..

Is this what Freeform does?

Michael,

My version is 10.0.1.19.. it says no updates are available..

I created another temp user account and found AE ran fine in it, which leads me to believe there is some user setting or preference file that is corrupt.. I wonder if I could take the user settings/preferences from the new account I created and copy them over my own…?

[Matthew Beall]

you mean the ctrl+t shortcut..?

Michael,

I’ve specifically been asked to get a ‘Alfred Hitchcock’ look, like this:

seems a lot cleaner than I thought it would be..

center lit, a little wiggle, grain and blur..? is it that easy?

Dave,

I figured it out.. the AC shot it with LogC instead of REC709..

Once we made the switch, everything looked great!

[Matthew Beall]

Oliver,

You are correct.. We (luckily!) shot a test and got the LogC 422 footage.. It was also pretty compressed.. We are shooting this morning, and switched to 422 709 (no FCP here, all avid) and everything looks great..

Once I did find out the problem, I went to Arri’s site and used the web based LUT generator.. That definitely helped, but I never got the rich colors we saw when we were shooting.. I’m colorcorrecting in AE.. Just for future reference, is there something I’m not doing?

Thanks!

Here is a simple movie showing what I need..

https://reels.creativecow.net/film/dvd-menu

I need to be able to hit the up/down arrow and move the bar up/down on the text.. An image on the right changes to correspond with the title.. At any point, the user can hit ‘enter’ or ‘play’ and play that title (‘play all’ will go to a playlist of course)..

How can I use a graphic as the bar behind the text?

How can I change an image as the text is highlighted with the bar?

[Matthew Beall]

It is the only layer in the comp, and I have continuously rasterize on..

Very aggrivating!
