Matrix Beginnning- for 5.0?

[skootles]

i saw a post asking how to do the matrix beginning thing (the binary numbers) and i wanted it oo so i downloaded the project, and i opened it up. First, it said:

After Effects: this project must be converted from an earlier versionand will open as "Untitled". The original file will be unchanged.

so i click ok. then it says:

After Effects Error: opening component

( 48 :: 18)


so i click ok. then it says:

After Effects Error: Particle Playground internal structure damaged. (512)


( 25 :: 16 )



i am running version 5.0 can someone show me where i can find a tutorial for my version? Also i am a beginner so does anybody know where i can get a good tutorial for beginners (on the after effects interface, etc.)

Particle Playground is a Production Bundle effect. If you do not have the production Bundle, then you will not be able to run anything with Particle Playground.

The paper manual that shipped with your copy of After Effects is an excellent place to start, as is the f1 button. Might I recommend Google as well: "After Effects Tutorial".

You are under a bit of a disadvantage if you have never used video editing software before.

i downloaded AE though. I don't have a manual. Does anyone know where i can download the Particle Playground effect?

 

[EdwardMartinIII]

You mean you're looking at the demo AE from Adobe? That's the Standard Version.

Particle Playground is part of the Production Bundle, so it's not in the Adobe demo.

well if your using an illegal copy of AE I see no reason for not downloading AE6.0pro

 

[EdwardMartinIII]

Even an illegal pirate copy of the software has online help, which is accessible via f1. I, of course, urge you to purchase a copy, for ethical and professional reasons.

Cheers,
