Thank you both for the time and trouble to answer my query. More complicated than I thoufght, as usual. I wil do the necessary research now I know where to look, forgot all about ‘rasterize’ !
Thanks Greg, Trying not to spend more money but if I’m not missing any obvious techniques or tools in CS3 and that’s what it takes, I’ll have to think about biting the bullet.
What I really meant to say was THANK YOU !!!!! I looked on Andrew Kramer’s site but didn’t know ‘set extension’ was what I needed to learn. That’s the BEST video tutorial for AE I’ve EVER seen. THANK YOU for pointing it out to me.
Thank you guys, as long as the information is out there somewhere I’ll find it. Offset tracking sounds like a good idea. I can’t help thinking I saw a video tutorial a year ago that dealt with this but involved expressions.
Can’t believe how much there is to learn then forget about After Effects. Looking forward to the time when I can do the motion graphics equivalent of walking the rice paper and not leaving a mark! Still can’t see the damn camera thing but it seems works anyway … ho hum
