sounds realy strange.

first:
check if in the Preview-Windo on the little bottom-bar, in the right side, there is “Belichtung” (in german – should be F-Stop or so in english) is set to zero.

then:
how about in the programm-settings under preview.. or firewire-device.
is there a chance of setting stuff right? did you checkt it?

no more idears… sry
hope this helps

möp möp

look at the POSITIONS ot the NULLs, PARENTINGof the Layers and the Expressions.

Nulls are distributed by hand… or aling tool…

Expression makes every null look at the rotation of the null above, and ads more rotation to it´s own rotation…

if the first rotation is 5 the second is 10 the third is 15…

Hope this helps

“particle hits a layer”
don´t know.
i think Mr. Ebberts i the right person to awnser this question!!!
(greetings)

“layer be duplicated and moved”
you don´t need a expression for this.
you need a SCRIPT for that kind of stuff.

try your luck at “aescripts”!
hope that helps

WOW,
i have a very simular “problem” (well in fact, i don´t think it´s a problem… it is like it is..).

BUT, if there is anybody how knows how to “fix it” / speed it up..

I´d love to hear!

[Stefan Hinze]

oh, you need to NOT ONLY set it there, if the element is PreComped you´l need to go in the precomp and set it direkt on the footage as well!!!

hope that helps
