Is that because of opengl interpretation or lack of it? Try edit>prefs>previews>openglinfo and change quality drop down menu to “more accurate” alternately disbale opengl.
This is what I recall from the text although my vid card radeon 600 displays belnding modes fine in default quality

[yikesmikes] “Vol 2, 3rd Edition, was writte for AE 6.5.”

ok thanks for that, as I said there were a couple of posts on the amazon reviews which indicated otherwise. maybe he was referring to a previous version or amazon just combined all reviews regardless of version?? Anyway Ive ordered it now so its all good!

[RoRK] “There have been huge improvements to working with text in AE since version 5.5. Too many to mention.”

thanks for the feedback so far,

maybe I should have been clearer, I’m currently using v6.5 and am looking at the best text (as in book!) to complement the first volume of “creating motion graphics with AE”.

Before buying vol 2 I wanted to check if some of the feedback I read about it being written for 5.5 (and not updated much since) was valid.

I am certainly going through the forums and tutes here but I think I’ll need all the help I can get.

Ppro and Encore… I probably wont bother with additional books but for complex apps like 3dsmax and AE I find a good text/book greatly accelerates my learning and production potential

V7 looks nice but as we only just got 6.5 at the end of last year Ill have to be a patient for while yet…
