Hi Jon! I found it and indeed have all the ease settings on 0, yet it is still easing. I wondered if I could send you the project to look at.

Never mind, I found it, under the camera tab.
a heart
by Judy Ranelli 4 years ago
Is there a way in Pro-Animator to make a heart that has depth, meaning a curved front not a flat front I have a heart shaped illustrator file, but when I import it, the front face is flat.
Re: a heart for you:)
by Serge Hamad 4 years ago
Hi Judy, A Custom Edge applied to a tinny little circle would give you the roundness. But building the heart in a 3D program would give you a greater looking shape. You could then import the object in

I can't see eras demi ITC in my font list in ProAnimator. It's in my fonts folder. My other software (Avid DS) has it in its font list.

The text is indeed a track matte for the video. But the video clip is full screen. IF I apply a drop shadow to the video fill I don't see how it would show up in the comp as a drop shadow behind the l

Thanks. I am going to contact the company that converted the SVHS to DVD to see if I can get the files they used to make the DVD.

Re: silver/metallic swatch needed
by Michael Duff 5 years ago
i don't think you'll find a swatch as such ... but you could probably find some metallic textures ... just google search "metallic texture" ... you could then use the text as a matte for the texture .

Re: dissolves between cameras
by Dave LaRonde 5 years ago
Nope. Sorry. However, you can fake it. Duplicate the comp, and modify the in and out points of the cameras in the two comps, then put them into a third comp and animate one layer's opacity.Dave LaRond

Is Avid appropriate for graphic-intensive shows?

Re: Is Avid appropriate for graphic-intensive shows?
by Judy Ranelli 7 years ago
The Avid DS Nitris will do those layers soooo easy. But if the budget doesn't allow for one then I recommend that you do your compositing in After Effects.

Re: avid vs final cut pro
by Judy Ranelli 7 years ago
Wildmangoose, I don't see why you didn't compare Avid to other PC based software, if a PC is what you want to edit on. But otherwise, what Pixel Monkey said is correct. If you prefer FCP that is fine.
