Thanks John!

It’s on it’s way.

For clarification, the text field I’m talking about is the text in the JavaScript “warning” window when you open the PDF file containing the AE export.

If they are aware of the problem, they don’t seem to want to admit it.

This is the response that I got from Red Giant:

Update for Case #3109 – “Knoll light factory crashes AE CS3 all operations”

Paul,

If you are using Nucleo, please disable the

I’m having the same problem!

NP2 and Light Factory 2.5 crashes both NP2 and AE CS3. Just applying the plug crashes AE, I don’t have to send it to render. If any of the spec previews or renders are enabled in Nucleo – it crashes too.

No solutions (or response) from support yet.

Thanks!

I’ll welcome that to my custom keyboard shortcuts!

Thank you! That’s the tutorial that I was thinking of and couldn’t remember enough detail to Google it successfully. I did remember something about “drift” in one axis when using auto-orient that made using an expression desirable.

Thanks again, this is exactly what I needed!

Russel Brown has a 27 minute tutorial over at Lynda.com

I believe this series is free (I didn’t have to log-in to view it). Anyway, most of the tutorial is CS2 techniques extracting layers which 90% of this technique.

Have fun!

Another way is to grab a frame of your video and take it into Photoshop. In PS play with the filters to get the look you want, after you have it down, create an action. (don’t save the frame – save the action).

Now in AE export your footage as an image sequence – then batch process the sequence using the PS action that you created. Import the footage back into AE and then render as a movie.

Sorry for the double post……I guess I need a new mouse too (admin could you delete this one).
