    How Could I Make Something Like This.

    You'd be surprised how easy this is to make in After Effects. There may even be a preset that is similar, already somewhere online, if not in Adobe Bridge! Ko Maruyama Free Tutorials http://homepage.mac.com/komaruyama/Tutorials

    Will After Effects CS4 clash with CS3?

    But the main point to remember is : Once you move your projects up to CS4, continue to move forward. You won't be able to read them in CS3 once they're saved as CS4 files (not that you'd want to). Hi Todd! First time poster long time listener? Ko Maruyama Free Tutorials...

    after effects cs4 crashes

    Make sure you have an INTEL based Mac (if you're on Mac) Check the machine specs. AE will install, but won't run after initial boot on a non-Intel machine. Ko Maruyama Free Tutorials http://homepage.mac.com/komaruyama/Tutorials

    Video compositing

    You'll need to check out 4-POINT tracking which will help you attach the picture to the television screen. Then, you'll need to rotoscope (mask out) the foreground elements. Don't forget to leave a little bit of reflection in the screen to integrate the final image into your tv! Good luck...

    warping & stretching layers

    You didn't figure it out? Or do you have more difficult video to displace? Also note: this video isn't just about a single layer, there are many different layers composited together with masks. This is no simple animation - but cut together with multiple sources. Ko Maruyama Free Tutorials...

    warping & stretching layers

    Unfortunately - - 3D requires a third party plugin - ZAXWERKS. There are many different uses for the plugin tho. You might be able to get a simulation that works in 2D, then warped. Let me play around with this one tonight. Ko Maruyama Free Tutorials http://homepage.mac.com/komaruyama/Tutorials

    Wire removal

    yeh - unfortunately it's one of those that works "most of the time" really well, but sometimes not at all. When we can fly around without cables, I won't be sittin' around on AE tho' Ko Maruyama Free Tutorials http://homepage.mac.com/komaruyama/Tutorials

    Exporting video with an alpha channel

    Lossless will, as will most of the 10bit and 8bit versions. Ones that DEFINITELY WON'T are JPEG, H264, SORENSON, the highly compressed codecs. ANIMATION is by far my favorite codec when embedding an alpha channel. It keeps the alpha clean. Ko Maruyama Free Tutorials...

    Dangling wires, how to create them?

    If you have After Effects CS3, you can use shape layers to create it... a lovely solution. However, if you have a version before CS3, you'll probably want to use a mask shape (roto bezier might work the best), then use STROKE to draw along that mask. You can animate the mask shape to make the...

    Compositing using markers

    The problem with really FAST motion is that motion trackers generally have a hard time analyzing from frame to frame, especially if there's pivot information (like a jittery camera movement in a falling helicopter). I would check out the Adobe site for their tutorials on tracking - - but better...

    Slow motion

    I would shoot 90 if you can. I think the HVX will only go to 60. One thing to keep in mind is that your particles (explosion pieces) should be AT SCALE too. That's usually the biggest problem. Ko Maruyama Free Tutorials http://homepage.mac.com/komaruyama/Tutorials
