Hi Dan,

Thanks a lot, I will try this and let you know how it works out. I really appreciate the time you take out of your day to help those with questions out. Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the response!

I’m looking to fade the dots with fixed timing in random order (so they all fade in by a certain time randomly).

To give you a picture, the dots represent different locations fading in on a map territory while a camera is panning over the particular territory. I began doing this by hand, but figured with expressions that there had to be a better way. I am still very new to expressions and am looking forward to any advice, thanks!

Those are some excellent points.

Dave – Thanks, in the end you can’t modify the frame rate. Whatever the final output is, is. Camera movement will have to be modified to make it work at 23.976fps, which is what I plan on fixing. Thanks for reminding me about that – *bonks head with small rubber bat*

Walter – Thanks for advice, good point on the job of a DP. I will have to tweak till it looks smooth!

Thanks a ton!

Thanks Todd,

I must be missing something. Does it work the other way around as well (AE to Illustrator)?

Yup, I am talking about the shape vector path!

Is there any way to cut and paste paths into Illustrator from After Effects? I would be able to split the path in there and then re-import into After Effects I’m thinking.

Thanks for the fast responses so far!

Hi,

Just wanted to thank everyone for their comments!

I just bought an interesting book https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1585422193/ that looks like it dives into color harmony (pretty strongly from an illustrators viewpoint). Seemed worth it! I am looking into the complete color index as well, thanks John!

Thanks Art and Mike for the suggestions,

The color guide is very interesting. I was able to do some cool stuff with it so far. Very helpful, especially helps make life a bit easier when determining the color of text (in combination with other elements).

Kuler is pretty sweet and I will have to hop over to play with it some more!

Thanks a ton so far guys!

Thanks for the useful info, it’s people like you who make this site worth revisiting for it’s helpful community!

It’s funny you mentioned that because I just saw some written information about that right after writing this post. I will look deeper into this for sure. By color guide, do you mean a written guide that comes with illustrator or is this accessed through illustrator itself? Let me know, I am very interested, thanks!

Ah yes youtube is one heck of a mud hole for bad sound! Thanks again!

Ty thanks a lot!

A couple questions:
1.) What is a null (In audio terms)?

2.) Is there anywhere online that’s resourceful with examples of bad production audio (many different situations)? I may just try recording the bad sound myself even.

I’ve read about this mic, it’s a shotgun, but it’s hyper-cardioid and gets good reviews – https://www.trewaudio.com/sankencs3.htm – It’s a tad expensive, but it looks like it might do the job for any indoor shooting.
