Thanks for the advice – think I’m just going to have to swallow the long render time on this one ….
… not sure pre-rendering a 2000 px x 3000 px comp would helpe me much … but I could be wrong 🙂 -
Thanks for this Ben – works great.

Thanks David – will look into it … 🙂

Try effect > generate > 4 colour gradient – animate the points / colours and play with your blending modes.
Good luck.

Definitely not an expressions expert myself but I believe the info you’re looking for is on here somewhere:

Guess you have probably already tried this but how about purging your video cache, closing down all composition windows and rendering with caps lock engaged?
Will trashing your AFX preferences file help?Good luck.

Kind of hard to help without knowing what the picture is of and how much movement you want but … I’m guessing this is the kind of effect you’re after – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv174UrocVo
If so then the key is to get stuck into the image in Photoshop – seperating out elements in the picture (e.g foreground, midground (?) & background) – then painting out bits of background behind the elements so you can move/scale/rotate them to give the illusion of slowed footage. Adding in particles / fine detail can really help with this too.
Hope this helps,

UPDATE:
I’ve managed to create exactly what I need EXCEPT one thing ….
I have my 3D Null layer’s (‘control’) position controlling the anchor point of my 3D content layer (‘Map’).
However – I only want the Null layers X and Y (not Z) values to be mirrored by the content layer (so the content layer’s Z position remains at 0 at all times.Can anyone show me how to specifically target position X, Y or Z values of 3D layers?
Thanks for your time,
T
