Are you using a regular color key or Keylight? Keylight is far superior to any other keying effect in AE.

Right, iancorey, you want to see the footage for purely technical reasons! 😉

Is there any way you can just move your lights further away so the camera won’t see them? Otherwise, if you can’t see the effect of the goboed light when you tilt up or whatever you could just animate the opacity of the gobo to disappear when the camera looks in its direction. Here is my goboed lights attempt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tBUy-3MLck

Thanks a lot- didn’t think of that! I knew it was going to be one of those “duh” moments.
P.S. What time zone are you in, cuz it’s 3:00am for me? Didn’t know you people with jobs stayed up this late 😀 -
Sorry, I guess that method does require a plugin! At least you don’t have to use a 3D app if this works.

Don’t give up yet! You may be able to use this technique:

Maybe you mean something like this?
Text Wipe on Effects -
Often if you want higher resolution so you don’t get pixelation when zooming in, you may have to recreate the webpage in Photoshop.

What exactly do you mean by “bend?” I assume you want to do some sort of warping- if so you don’t need a plug-in. Just use the mesh warp effect. It allows you to move handles around on a grid and the image/video layer “bends” along the curved lines. You can also try the liquify effect for more precise warping.

That looks really sweet though! Way better than anything you could get out of a particle generator or any other CG method. That makes me want to try it now.
