Just do it in Final Cut and lay it out in your timeline and using in and out points you can use the ‘blade” too and cut the clips.

Hey Matt,
My workflow works really well when taking a signature like that to different formats. What I do is actually take the image into Illustrator rather than Photoshop because Illustrator is vector based and allows you to take that final production and scale it up/down with out any quality loss.

Once I bring in the image I select the Pen tool and trace around the signature (also using besier curves), these creates the image as vector and it saves you time because you only traced it once but you can make it any size you want.

Thanks

Hi Rory,
I was in your shoes about 2.5 years ago. The best way that I have learned After Effects has come with learning the basics of layers and keyframes. One of the best ways to learn the concepts of layers and such is to get a solid foundation of Photoshop first. By learning this you can quickly pick up on what the concepts are. Final Cut Pro uses keyframes in its transition and effects editor. After Effects is technically the same as Photoshop, but all your doing is creating motion to layers to show a story. Good tutorial sites can be
