This thread was a huge help with this problem, which still happens in cs5.5. I wound up fixing it by changing the interpretation on the footage itself. Weird thing is, I didn’t actually change the framerate. I only changed the interpreting option from “Use Frame Rate From File” to “Conform to Frame Rate” and even though it was the same weird number the problem was solved!

that works! Quick follow-up: Is there a way to use the pick-whip to grab the current value of a property, rather than its expression identity? (as in, returning [100. 200] instead of transform.position).

This works great, as it turns out. Thanks a lot!

I got it working base on your suggestion. I made an appropriately-sized comp, copied the null and its position data over, then made a new null layer. I attached the comp to the old null, the old null to the new null, then rotated the new null 180 degrees, the chraracter’s motion and the motion of the null cancelled each other out, keeping the character centered at all times.
Thanks a lot!

No problem, and thanks for the help! It never would have occurred to me if I hadn’t made that image 😛

Eureka!
Turns out the Paint Bucket effect can do this splendidly, provided you manage to get the areas you want to fill nice and closed off. Set the Fill Point way off the canvas, so it fills everything outside the shape, then simply toggle “Invert Fill.” Look great!

Sorry for the confusion. Here’s a more descriptive image.
The top example was made by making the glow radiu so wide that it filled the monster’s insides, then using a choker to bring it back down to a reasonable scale. I’m looking for a better, more precise way to dynamically get the effect, since I’ll be working with hundreds of images at a time.

Got it. Used a conjunction of the Spherical Field and animating the Y rotation in the World Transform rollout. It’s still not perfect, though. Anybody know another way?

I ended up getting the effect I wanted with CC_RepeTile, actually, but MotionTile works too! Thanks!

That works grewat! One thing, though: are there any other options for the random seed? I keep getting three or four TVs showing the same image.
