Thanks John. I didn’t realize that I’d have to be concerned with the pixel ratio, so thanks for mentioning that.
I also created a heartbeat spline in photoshop, which I had considered masking in vegas pro. I figured I could reveal it over time and this might simulate the same effect, I just figured there should be an easier way in Max. Guess I’ll give them both a try and see what I like better.
THanks again.
