  • So is your desired frame rate 24?

    Make sure your composition settings and export settings are all set to progressive rather than interlaced, and to your desired frame rate.

    You could try either the Mesh Warp or Reshape filters. And mask out the inside of the mouth so you can make something come out of it.

    There are many different ways.

    Simplest way is to shoot still footage of the wall, create a mask with the portion of the wall you want the person to hide behind. Put this layer on top of the layer of footage of the person walking toward the wall. So they step behind the mask and disappear. Feathering the edge of the mask a little makes it look a little better.

    Maybe create a posterized random value that is always at 90-degree angles. Then apply a smooth function to that value, averaging an amount of time that you want it to take to turn to a new side.

    I can get into more details later.

    Oh, and also check out the tutorial Horror Text on the Wall – Part 2 where Aharon shows how to make the blood drip.

    I just tried it out, and I could get something like the growing ink blotches by taking some still images and animating the threshhold filter followed by a slight blur. I think it’s mostly a bunch of that layered on top of each other.

    I’m not sure, but I think I saw a couple fractal images in there, too.

    There is also a link on the left, called “Search Posts.” Search for Barkley.

    Do you just want the whole layer to turn over? Because for that, you don’t really need the pre-comps.

    Here’s a pic of how I did it for four layers.

    Before parenting, I rotated the 2 and 4 layers by 180 degrees and set their Z position at 0.5 so they would be the backs of layers 1 and 3.

    No. He means put all the odd layers on one side of the card and all the even layers on the other.

    So one comp will have 1 3 and 5. The other will have 2 4 and 6.

    You start with layer 1 up. Then you flip to layer 2. Then, while layer 2 is visible, let the back of the card change from 1 to 3 while nobody can see it happen. Then when you flip back, you’ll go to layer 3. And so on.

    While reading this, I’m trying to think if there’s a way to do the same effect with parenting instead of precomps, just because then it’ll be easier to fit the timing of the hidden transition with the flips. But I can’t think off the top of my head how to do that.

    June 6, 2006 at 9:17 pm in reply to: Developing my own plugin

    I think I’ve got Visual C++ but it’s pretty old, like from 97, maybe.

    Does it matter if I have the standard or professional edition of Visual Studio?

    I was reading this:
    https://weblog.gpconsulting.com/archive/2005/10/24/203.aspx

    And it doesn’t sound like that will effect anything I would need to plugin development. Am I right?
