Hi,

Here is a simple version:

If it’s what you are after visit the Zaxwerks site to check for prices… It’s worth it and for this effect you would only need the Classic version.

Salut.

Hi,

Invigorator would do it easily. If you have it let me know what version and I will make an example for you.

Hi,

I would also work with Invigorator for this as it gives the best results. Without Invigorator you may want to try the CC-Light Sweep effect.
Here is a way of using it:

looks like this:

The example was done quickly but it may give you an idea. Notice the transfer modes of the light sweep layers, their parenting and the two expressions that tie the light sweep Direction parameter to the X & Y Rotation axis of your picture.

I hope this may help.

Hi,

Try reinstalling or upgrading your video card driver. Reducing the hardware acceleration may also help in your case.

I hope this may help.

Hi Juan,

You don’t even need AE for this as any NLE would do. What you need to do is to lock your camera, shoot “me” left then “me” right, make sure that there is a tiny neutral space between the tow shots.
If you want to use a compositing program for any reason then all those you mentioned will do the trick using a simple mask.

Hi,

You could create a new light layer in the main comp. As long as the ‘collapse transformations sitch is on for your layers comp you should get your shadows back.

[Tomek Suwalski] “And I’m just curious if there is a way to move anchor point whenever I want to, not just to center?”

You could do so by offseting your object in the Set-Up window or even better by creating a dummy object. This one has to be the first object to be assigned to a set so the pivot point will lay at it’s center. You would then assign the second object you want to parent to the same set, switch off the visibility of the dummy. Now once you animate the set your second object will use the pivot point of the dummy.

As to the lens flare thingy, I really don’t know why you are having a B/W flare only. Ayato’s tutorials are continuously explained again and again in the AE forum. Try to make a search first. If you are still unlucky send me your AEP for troubleshooting and I will see what I can do.
