Hi CR Green.
It works well in my computer, though it took me too a while to understand what I exactly had to select. I wouldn’t say it needs two layers with the same size. Nice vertexchooser. Much better than ours. And thanks for the aknowledgments! It’s Alejandro with J, but truly, I don’t care. I am happy to see it was useful to you.

This is what happened me with AE 5.5 and 6 long ago, I hope it can help:
I made a 12 minute long short movie with lots of effects, masking, rotoscoping, color correction, time remap. Quite amateur but with a dedicated postproduction. After editing in Premiere, I transfered everything to AE. I had no problems then. For pure safety reasons I separated work on different aeps, but just by saving it into different names and then working on different parts in each project. After it was finished, I wanted to integrate all of them in the same aep, but found problems for a stupid reason: Importing the same footage again and again made AE crazy in those days, so I had to delete the unused footage in each small aep before importing. Dumb me. After that, it worked, but it still was going slow and making the final adjustments was quite tedious. I think it was solved in AE6, because it felt a bit smoother when I went back to it.
I also had another problem with AE6 at the time. I was making an animation for a videogame with lots of cartoony footsteps appearing on the floor. I discovered that AE went crazy on my computer after adding 40 3d layers or so. It was not a memory problem, they could be big or small and the problem persisted. Even through deactivating them and precomposing, AE crashed.
If you want to know what kind of projects I am talking about, check out the short movie

You CAN do that, you can use the usual adobe distortion controls like with masks or illustrator. I don’t know how, as I haven’t used it yet, but I’ve seen it, so keep checking or look at the documentation, cause it has to be somewhere.

January 22, 2006 at 11:29 pm in reply to: legal issues in using U.S. money scanned in, and compositing it inI recall from the time that unwanted plugin was added at certain photoshop version (CS1, I think):
-You are allowed to print money with the size of 125% or bigger than 125% of real bills or 75% smaller.
-You are allowed to print only one sided bills.Sorry, I don’t remember if both conditions are selectable or must come together, or if there were more specifications. Perhaps that could help googling it.
This only applys to US money, as far as I know. Each state probably has its own legislation about it.

I wrote a script for making rotoscoping a little more easy, attaching mask vertices to trackers.

Once you get the basics on rotoscoping and tracking, I hope you find this script a bit helpful.
Boy, I can’t believe AE7 has skipped the issue.
