If I get a bonus question…

I am working with the mask. It appears that add/subtract performs the same function as invert on/invert off. How do they differ?

A piece of cake for someone who knows how to bake; at least I can follow a recipe (toll house, anyone?).

I now have my rectangle. Now I will see what I can do with it. One thing: when I hit shift, left or right arrow, my computer moves the vertices 40 pixels, not 10. Maybe it is something in my preferences.

Many thanks.

Dave, How do I get the parallelogram the exact dimensions that I want? I used the pen tool and could not get it exact and do not see how to enter the coordinates numerically. Thanks.

Thanks, Vince.

I followed your instructions and did make the rectangle, as needed. I imported it into AE and did not get the result I was looking for. I think I’ll head over the the AE forum and see if I can get some suggestions there.

Best,
Victoria

I wish they made a wireless numeric keypad. I find smaller, mobile, i.e., wireless, input devices create all this flexibility that helps. I am trying to submit that suggestion to them. I haven’t quite found the portal for that at their site.

PS The Kensington Mouse is for PCs only. The issue is finding one for the Mac.

Thanks, Walter, I’ll check it out.

I have the wired, Mac standard white keyboard, for when I need the numeric keypad. I have the small aluminum wireless Mac keypad. I have a wired and wireless mouse. I have a small Wacom graphire tablet, from many years ago. I am considering upgrading my Wacom to a model that includes additional keys, maybe the medium-sized intuos4. (I also have a large Wacom intuos2 tablet, also from many years ago; I haven’t used that in a long time.)

Do you have an other suggestions/advice? I would be especially curious to get you ideas about tablets.

July 1, 2009 at 5:18 pm in reply to: beam effect is shaky

It is constructed somewhat differently:
• I have a comp with a beam. The the position of the beam is unaltered. I made it into a precomp.
• In the main comp, I swipe the entire beam (precomp) across the frame and it appears shaky as it goes across.

Does this change what you recommend?

Thanks.
Victoria
