Hi,

The effect you are talking about was not, and cannot be created with film.

The first video cameras had tubes instead of CCDs. And the tubes used to leave those traces. Later when IT (Inter-transfer) chips where used there was a smear effect when shooting a bright spot. To eliminate/reduce this effect the FIT (Frame Inter-transfer) chip was created.
Note that “LDK” from the beginning used an IT chip but with a shutter in front of the chip to eliminate the smear effect.

Sorry but I can’t go into more details on this one as my English won’t be good enough.

As to how to recreate the effect in AE. I must pass for now. There were a couple of threads about this FX. You may want to make a search including the archive. And I think that there were some cool workarounds.

Salut.

Steve. Thanks for the compliment buddy. LOL!

Hey,

You could also use Shatter to extrude your nut. See Roland’s tutorial.
Here is an example using your aep:

Invigorator would do the trick in a much better and easier way of course.

Hi Colin,

[Colin Braley] “Does anyone think that a guy who’s on a “limited budget,” and has a production company with no website, has a shot of making it?”

Yes, it is possible at least here in the US.
I myself did a couple of successful documentaries this way by providing film & video equipment etc…

I know that you don’t have a lot of experience but I think that once you will see what footage this person will provide you for your animation, you will then with some common sense be able to check on his chances to make it or not.
However, get any deal you may both agree to in black on white! As we say.

Good luck.

Hi

A.N certainly means select the position property THEN paste.

Hi,

Do as Steve suggested. Keep in mind that the Audio level is also keyframable. Another way would be to simply split your layer twice and switch off the sound icon for the part you want to mute.

Hi,

Try: Effects>Stylize>Roughen edges.

[Patrick Lajko] “Being new at ProAnimator, I hadn’t thought of wrapping a custom edge around a stick.”

I am not sure if you got me right here. You should apply a custom edge to a tinny circle not a stick. Let me know if you need more help on this one.

[Patrick Lajko] “I emailed you an example of what we have been doing.”

I didn’t get anything. E-Mail me again if you want at (serge_01 at msn dot com)

Hi,

It sounds like a bad UV mapping issue. If you have 3DS, import your object and apply a new UV mapping.

BTW. Why don’t you just create the bowling pins using a custom edge?

Have a look at https://www.nyc-visual.com for an example.
