Well, you could do something like that using valueAtTime() constructs, but it’s much more complex than using the loopOut() method, so I’d stick with that one if it works.

Of course it does. You just need to have the right version of MacOS X, graphics driver and graphics card of course.

You can’t remove that. It’s hard-coded in the interface. It might be removed in the next version/ patch for AE, since a lot of people have complained about that already. This is a side effect of the new generic “viewer” approach that carry labels for saying what they currently show but someone simply forgot that timelines are no viewers… ;o). For the time being: get used to it, as awkward as it may be.

In case of the trapcode plugins, there is a special activation tool. Download it from the website. Similarly other plugins will offer you a chance to install render-only versions and activate them properly via whatever licensing scheme they use.

Excellent stuff, thought it’s a bit too much bling-bling for my taste. BTW, I’m in the process of putting together an expression based tutorial for building a lens flare, so any of you interested in this sort of flashy effects stay tuned…

Huh? I don’t quite figure what you are getting at. There is no such thing as a 2.35 ratio for video. Some films use that ratio (or others like 1.85 or 1.77) and when they are scanned to video, usually the 16:9 video formats are used. Since that’s still not the right aspect, black bars are added there as well. A film aspect transfer only means that the overall proportions are maintained and the movie is not modified in the horizontal view area.

You’re forgetting layer space transformation. Since your null is parented, values will be different as they occur in the local space of the parent. In that case you will need to use some more expression code for the emitter position:

emitter_null=thisComp.layer(“Null”);
emitter_pos=emitter_null.toWorld([0,0,0]);

[flablo] “It seems so strange to me that an advanced tool like AE can have such a limitation!”

Well, when it comes to 3D AE is everything else than advanced. Retarded and mediocre is more like it. Compared to even freeware 3D programs, the 3D renderer stinks like year old cheese.
