i will not be able to try this out until Monday, but i can see how it would work. thanks i did not know that i could paste a mask to the position key frames, this way i can mask out the layer only at those key frames i past the mask shape to.

Thanks, I use the render queue to render thing out of after effects. I am just used to saying exporting because of useing FCP. It worked out great the RGB + Alpha channel and he straight unmatted option worked great as well. Thanks

well i am an aspiring “AE guy” i know that in ae you can select the motion blur toggle switch to turn motion blur on to indiviual layers. In motion I have played with the Movement blur filter but it did not look like i was hoping it would, it was just a little choppy and I played with the hud display and could not get it right.
I like motion im using it at work often and have been getting good results. I started to play with motion before i picked up AE and it is a little more answer friendly.
in the future i am undecied about which program i will use primarily

I THOUGHT THAT THE POIN OF INTEREST CAHNGES WHICH DIRECTION THE CAMERA POINTS?

[Matt Rinaldo]

sometimes the record button comes in handy so don’t right it off so soon.

But what you explained was right except for the final step. Set your starting keyframe> move the play head on the mini timeline to where you want the animation to stop>set ending keyframes> then move object to its ending position.

so basically set the keyframes first then move the object

hope this helps

Yes I am trying to achieve number 1.

What I am doing is a “reflective floor look” and I need part of the text to fade out into the background, but the background is video for a psa.

If you could I would like to know how yo did number 1
thanks
