    you can also use a copy of your layer as a luma track matte and then animate input black and input white to control the matte. the gamma can also be animated to give you more control than gradient wipe.

    go to trapcode-people.net and look or search for neon. I think it works very well. I’ve even tried the glow technique with strokes on regular layers so you can use the style without 3d stroke

    June 20, 2006 at 5:55 pm in reply to: Creative Cow AE Tutorial Copyright Infringement…

    if i’m not mistaking, unless you actually file a copyright the little copyright symbol or note you put on something you do has no effect in court and it really does not have copyright protectiion. there is a line in the faq at the us copyright office that says:

    Before an infringement suit may be filed in court, registration is necessary for works of U. S. origin.

    on the other hand it also says:

    In general, copyright registration is a legal formality intended to make a public record of the basic facts of a particular copyright. However, registration is not a condition of copyright protection. Even though registration is not a requirement for protection, the copyright law provides several inducements or advantages to encourage copyright owners to make registration.

    it’s all too fuzzy for my pea brain. you don’t have to file to get a copyright but you have to file to have legal protection. leave it to the lawyers to come up with something like that so you have to hire them to figure things out.

    if you’re not working with spatial keyframes then you need to select them all then hold down the alt/option key and drag from either end. I sometines also do this with position keyframes because roving is not always what I want.

    the web is full of tutorials for turning photographs to sketches. I’ve seen one that did a great job on a car just by duplicating the photo, desaturating it then using color dodge and gausian blur. haven’t tried it but it should work in AE

    I’d add a expression control to your pre-comp in the main comp, then put the tint filter on the original layer in the pre-comp. Then tie the property you want to animate to the slider something like this:

    comp(“Comp 1”).layer(“PreComp1”).effect(“Color Control”)(“Color”)

    for map black for example

    and then

    comp(“Comp 1”).layer(“PreComp1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)

    for Amount to tint.

    now you can control the tint effect from the pre-comp and maintain 3D because your tint effect is applied to the layer in the pre-comp

    i’m not very good at this but I hope you got it
