Hi Steven

thanks for your reply

Before I posted here at the cow i tried to do what you proposed.
I made a duplicate of the clip and used distortion and wiggle.

I will try the bulge and also have a look at the mirage effect haven’t tried it before.

thanks!

Anyone else have any other suggestions? 🙂

Hi!

Thanks for your reply!
I will look into the AVI thing and see what I can find.

If that fails, du you have any good capture apps to capture in quicktime format for windows?

Thanks again!

Hi

I used a background plate behind the clip of the person so I can decrease the opacity on the person clip and still have the backgrund there. After that I used 4 instances of the smoke clip to get the smoke to go in all directions, and then just compositied the clip ontop of the person clip adjusting opacity, shape, and position.

do i make sense?

Hi Steve!

Thanks for all your help and for explaining what was happening.
I tried exporting to animation and it worked like a charm.

I know the clip isn’t of the best quality and will probably shoot my own smoke this week. I just wanted to try something. Oh you can have a look if you like: clip

Thanks again!

Hi Steve

The clip I’m working with is downloaded from
https://www.peerlessproductions.com/movies/smoke.mov

this is the result I get when importing it and viewing it in AE
smoke2.mov

This is a screen shot of the broken frame that appears once every 29 frames or so screen_cow.gif as you can se from the pic, the clip looks ok when viewed from a double click but not in the clip window. Am I making sense?

Everything else looks fine except that single frames every sec.
I tried your alt-double click trick in the project window but it look ok, no jerking.

Thanks a buch!

Hi

I’m not very familiar with the interpret clip thing.
I dragged the clip from the project window, onto the create new composition.
I thought that would make a comp with all the right settings.

my comp have the same framerate as the clip 29.97

What should i do with the fields?

THANKS!
Martin
