I think it didn’t like the name on the last link. To bad, a great one.

But the link got through.

Good luck, Heather with the AE Camera, it can be tricky.

There is no definitive AE Camera Tut that I know of (Call for entries), but here is the best Camera stuff I’ve seen:

Here are two excellent Camera tuts by Rick Gerard:

No masking required if you use this clock, just look at the bottom of the page to see how to drop the hours by deleting the “padZero(hr) + “:” +” in the last line of Dan’s expression:

And you probably want to delete the “+ padZero(sec) + “.” + ms
” in the lawst line to drop the milliseconds.

In the Timeline Window, to the right of the layers, before the timeline, are there any columns at all?

If no, or no Modes column, right click next to “Source Name” (AE 6.5) and select the Mode column. If the “Switches” Column is showing double click it on the bottom and “Modes” will pop up.

Or…

As a short cut, highlight the layer then click “Shift and + or -” to cycle through the modes, of course without the modes column showing you won’t know where you are, except maybe when you get to Difference.
