this is a link to add easing to your expression… maybe adding this to a wiggle might smooth things out enough. sorry don’t have time to test it… good luck

[Tylor Larson]

there are 3 way to do this.

1. put and wiggle expression on the object and then parent that object to a null and animate the null.

2. put the wiggle expression on the anchor point and the use the position properties to change the position of the object.

3. pre-comp the object and put the wiggle inside the pre-comp and then on the root composition animate the position of the new pre-comp.

Thanks for the brain melting question. ok… this is a pain but here is the work flow… you need to create a solid matte that is just want you want to show… AKA the gray area… then select the top group of your logo, and copy that new solid matte into that group as an “opacity mask”. look in the transparency pallet. please note how your layers pallet changes… this is because you have drilled down into the groups opacity. to get back click on the left preview thumbnail in the transparency window.

this tutorial explains it better then i can.

just remember that the matte needs to be white for 100% opacity and black for 0% opacity… this is also a great way to do highlights.

if you cant get it to work just repost and i will “yousendit” the file to you.

use the Hollow arrow AKA “White Arrow” and click and drag the T. Look at the attached image.

this allows you to change which side of the path the type will appear on… this also work for the end of the type as well.

there isn’t an image attached. please post

if you use a clipping mask, the element are still captured in the pattern. look at your tile in outline mode to get a better understanding of the issue. i always check my pattern in outline mode before dragging it to the swatch palette.

the shortcut for outline mode is Cltr+Y and hit it again to go back.

I hope this answers your question. if not flame away

Alex, thanks for your replay. I had no idead there was a max speed issue when the drive was full. i figured there would be a bottle neck at some point but not a 100mb, that is really slow… would i gain any speed if i changed to a raid 6 or raid 10? BTW. seems like the starting price for a larger raid box like that is around 600-1000 bucks. i did check out your links. i really like the Stardom storage ST8. do you feel like there is much of a speed gain going with mini sas? Also this might be a really stupid newbie question but if i get a 8 bay system and build it with only 4 drives… and then two years downthe road I add 2 more drives … do I need to nuke the whole raid and start over? or can it add the space without transfering the data to another drive? Thanks again.
