repairing disk permissions seems to have done the trick, thanks

Thanks i knew it was stupidly easy had clearly gone blind for a second.

Thank you all for your helped, It proved to be a hard one to do and as i am working on a tight dead line i have decited to animate a drawing of a butterfly instead. On that i have a new problem, the butterfly follows across a “s” shaped path I want this image to turn with the path rather than moving in an unnatural way. I have heard I can do this in a few clicks but unsure how.

Any thoughts

Thanks

I seem to have left my cables for my drive at home so can not check it right now! It is archive so can not reshoot :-s Yet the butterfly is white and the body brown I was hoping I could get it to see black, maybe it was a hope too far.

[Robin Lewis]

Thank you for being so detailed i think both ways work but im going to give yours a shot this eve if i can!

sounds great

much apreciated

Figured it out thank you!

Is there a easy way to motion track that line in the new comp so that it is always central, so the camera seems to follow the line around the map?

[Robin Lewis]

Right really silly question here but i have made my new comp, added the Map, made a solid layer and drew the pen line.

I then added Effect> Stroke to the solid layer but i can not get it to stroke yet i can make it reveal the line

The Stroke effect options are currently set to..

Path: Mask1
Brush size: 7.7
Brush hardness: 76
Opacity: 100%
Start: 0%
End: 100%
Spacing: 15%
Paint Style: Reveal Original

One of these must be wrong at the moment I just have a red line on a map.

thanks
