Unless the monitor is something uniquie like a very long vertical strip – it will simply be a normal 16:9 monitor on its side.

Hmmmm…
Just tried it and you are right it doesn’t work !!
I know that selecting all the key frames for other values (like position) and moving one – moves them all, but it doesn’t seem to work for masks 🙁
Can you not just move the layer position to where you want it ?
Or copy the mask onto a new white solid, put it on a black background pre-comp them both and use this a matte.

Put your timeline bar over one of the masks key frames, highlight all the keyframes you want moving together then move your mask.
All the mask positions with keyframes highlighted will be moved together.

[Noizzz] “Thanx, if all things in life were that simple :-)”
They are !
My brother lost his job recently two days after his wife left him and later that same week was made bankrupt – he came to me for help, he was in a bad way, crying and ranting, he had been drinking heavily and was inconsolable. It was then that he confessed to me that he was up on a charge of armed robbery !! In a moment of madness, he had tried to rob a security van in a vain attempt to get him out of his financial difficulties and had been caught later that day by armed police, he was looking at 15-20 years minimum.
Desperately looking for advice, I told him to use the Posterize time plug-in in After Effects, maybe that would help.
When his day in court came and he stood before the judge he was asked “do you have anything to say in your defense”, my brother opened his laptop and booted up his copy of After Effects 7 and applied the posterize time plug-in to a new solid layer (a pale green).
The judge sat there mesmerized, transfixed by the magic of seeing one frame rate imposed on another, the pale green solid seemed to come alive, it danced its merry dance, the jury gasped at the temporal magic before them and reporters hurriedly scribbled headlines for the following mornings papers.
The judge asked my brother “what has this to do with the robbery”
“nothing” he said.
He got 35 years.

Try this:
Open AE.
Hold down the shift key.
In the menus click on AFTER EFFETCS >> PREFERENCES >> GENERAL and release the mouse button.
Now release the shift key.
At the bottom of your preference pulldown menu there is a new section called ‘secret’ select this.
Where it says “Purge every XX frames during make movie” enter 50.
**Don’t click on anything else in this panel !!!**Now try your render.
Good Luck, P.S. the shift key is applicable to AE7, I can’t remember the key combination to access the secret menu in pre-AE7 versions, but it is something very similar.

Apply the Posterize time plug-in and set the plug-in’s frame rate to 12.
Job done.

P.S you can find a quicktime version of the video on> https://videos.antville.org/ if you want to download it, (do a search)

I love that video, actually I love the song, so maybe I am I am swayed into thinking the video is better that it is ?!!
In reality there is not a lot that is obviously 80’s about it besides some video game imagery and the slightly camp ‘Frankie goes to Hollywood’ scene where the singer is framed with the other bloke dancing in the background. To me the thing that sets the video apart from todays slick produced videos is it’s energy and irreverence, loads of disparate ideas thrown in to the mix, quick edits, humour, stupid stuff and a nice ‘throw away’ feel.
Also keep it 4:3 not 16:9.
Also go buy yourself the cheapest wide angle len (x 0.3 – x 0.5) you can find (we are talking

The more information you are willing to give to people the more likely tou are going to get a meaningful answer !

In my opinion Twixtor treats extreme interpolations much better and the motion looks much smoother. Granted, this could be considered a moot point in most situations, nonetheless it does not make Twixtor entirely obsolete.
OH yes it does ! 😉
I have used both quite a bit and I find it hard see any difference at all, perhaps I have not pushed it to extreme situations (ie: large frame to frame differences) but for day-to-day slowing down and speeding up of footage Timewarp is as good as Twixtor.
My advice would be to see if Timewarp meets your needs before spending $329 (or $595 for the ‘pro’ version’) on Twixtor.
