Well, using a box with an Emitter Size z – 500, x – 100, y – 100 seems to help a lot. Looks like I want it to mostly, but I’m still wondering if there is a better or more realistic way I’m overlooking.

I agree 100%, but I’m also not sure about the aesthetic ethics or merit of that after reading over some fantastic writing from David Bordwell about the style of the Bourne Ultimatum. Still, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for it to be superficial since it’s only going to be about 30 seconds with only the most basic plot points and aims to be visceral above all. He also dissects the action scene in a post here, which is a nice resource for anyone trying to get a handle on the anatomy.

i posted then figured out a solution but could not find the delete thread option anywhere and erasing all text would not work either. is there a simple way to do this?

Here’s what I’ve been playing with and you may or may not prefer this technique. I use a high res texture from Riot Gear and keep it big enough to move around in. I color correct > curves to a dark red, add a new solid and subtract an ellipse mask and feather it out to pop the texture a little. Keep this 2D so it’s always affecting the frame. Then put my one text layer in the bottom corner, my other in the top. Truck across with camera parented to null and do a little rotation style animation on the text itself. Then to get the color change just keyframe the curves on the texture, change it to a green, and as you truck it will switch over. Key the opacities on the text too. And it just takes some playing with. That seems to do the trick, let me know your thoughts.

Hey Lars, thanks a lot! Such a simple thing but it’s never come up for me. I eventually did Layer > Transform > Anchor Point as a makeshift solution, but had to guess coordinates. This is 100x better. Thanks so much for your quick reply!
