I typed in “Ayato 31” into the search engine, told it to search all active posts and the archives and it returned 14 posts to dig through. According to the search engine, Step 4’s the booger.

It sounds like you need to read Angie Taylor’s AE7 book, watch the AE Podcast, and/or do a mess of the latest tutorials in the library to help get your mind wrapped around it. Most all the people I know who work with it, love it. Of the ones I know who don’t, it seems to come down to two things: either they want to try to impose the rules and mores of past versions on it; or, they simply are befuddled by the changes and have yet to get their mind wrapped around it.
Sure, there are a few things that were sacrificed in the switch but most seem to agree that the added benefits outweigh the losses.
Your mileage may vary,

Angie Taylor’s book is a great book. David Bogie once did a review of her v5 book (which has now been updated for v7) which can be found at:
https://www.creativecow.net/articles/bogie_david/angie_taylor_ae_book/index.html
The book is designed for exactly such an one as you. Read David’s review. It still applies to this updated and expanded edition.

Justin,
I really hate to be harsh with you but if this is all it takes to quell your enthusiasm and cause you to want to hide your work, then you need to get out of this industry now. You will never make it. Art and the creative process is so personal that it will always elicit a critique and people will sometimes see humour in something that are dead serious about. This is part of what you have to learn to deal with as a creative person. If you are such that a reptilean eye placed in one of your works debilitates you like this, then I would humbly ask you to take a strong look inside and ask if you really have the inner strength to make this your profession???
I am sorry if this seems cruel, it is not intended to be. It is just that this industry is a “heater” and if you cannot take this kind of heat, then what is going to happen when you get some real criticism?
In the true interest of getting you to think about things realistically,
Ron Lindeboom
(who is truly sorry if this hurts your feelings but it does need to be said if you are going to stand a chance in this industry) -
Justin,
It was a joke, man. The idea of a big green reptilean eye staring back at you.
I laughed, but maybe it doesn’t translate across language barriers or cultures.
I know it was not intended to be offensive.

You can buy the Video SpiceRack transitions that include most all of the ones found in SpiceMaster. (Both are made by the same company.)
With SpiceRack, you can apply the files to your clips and because they are used as mattes, they’ll work just fine.

There is a great article entitled “Audio Techniques for Video Editors” in the first issue of Creative Cow Magazine that covers audio “sweetening” using the most common types of audio filters, what they do, how to use them to sweeten or repair audio files in video edits, how to balance levels, and lastly, how to remove unwanted sounds, etc., from your files.
You can sign up for a free subscription and can download the PDF of the first issue here at https://www.creativecowmagazine.net
