wooow...wish i could get an AE pro..:(

Thanks Andrew for this great tutorial and wajdi for the transfer mode solution.

Greetings from Chile.

Just wanted to drop a note that your tutorials are fantastic. I'm not a professional but your information makes it so easy to do things....taking paths that I wouldn't even consider. Thank you for making this all available. Whenever I get a comment of praise or asked how I do it, I just utter those famous words "Ancient Chinese secret." Thank you again for making me look so good. Also, thanks for the easy going style and pace of your tutorials.

hi again

i found the solution for the darkness with Add

in the level control panel under output white there is 2 stop watchs
- Clip to output Black
- Clip to output white
in Cs4 you have to activate it for the 32 bit because its by default set to "inactive for the 32 bit".
just clic infront of the text and you will see 3 choices and select the Active option.
Sorry for my bad english and i hope its helping you guys

Hi Andrew,

Thx for your great tutorials, but i am getting the same problem when i do Add using 32 BPC.

am new in after effect and i am using CS4.

having the same problems as above, Add works fine in 8 and 16bpc, but in 32bpc the image goes dark, and only the light area is visible.

I wasn't able to figure out why it wasn't working... but it definetly only fails in 32bpc (8 and 16 works fine). It is a pretty bright shot (day) so maybe it has to have more contrast... anyway, I just did 8bpc and got the shake (the reason I found tut) but would like to know why 32bpc Add transfer mode isn't working.

I'm having the same problem squarepixel was having... which is that one I crush the levels and change the transfer mode to Add it doesn't do anything... this was not happening before I changed it to 32bpc (missed that part when I first started, then realized my mistake and restarted it).

I'll keep looking for an answer, if I find one I'll leave another comment with the solution.

u r so gene?us man..u r great.? st?ll wa?t for ur project..thank u for everyth?ng..

I have a strange thing happening. When I duplicate the layer and crush the levels, and change the transfer more to ADD, the result is not at all the same as that of Andrew's.

Is this because of the newer version of AE? I am using CS3.

Please help

Hi Andrew,
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
I tried my hands on the LA GAP sign Motion track. But my end result is some kind of wired. After I hit "Apply" the "Dark Lime Green Solid" which is suppose to fall exactly on the GAP sign, moves out of position. When I compare the "Corner Pin" and"Position" figures with yours, mine is:
Corner Pin
Upper Left - 556.2, 272.9
Upper Right - 727.5, 257.0
Lower Left - 553.8, 462.4
Lower Right - 721.5, 446.5

Position - 744.0, 794.0 instead of

Corner Pin
Upper Left - 598.0, 316.0
Upper Right - 682.0, 311.0
Lower Left - 597.0, 408.5
Lower Right - 682.0, 405.0

Position - 744324.0, 400.0

What is wrong with my positioning. I've tried several times.

Great tutorial, it helped me a lot!
Thank you Andrew.

I can't get it to change to 32 bit?

We are sell DDO, Dungeons

Is there a way to get that motion blur effect on a straight video clip? After effects motion blur only seems to affect motion generated by the program, I'd really like the blur effect as motion trails as if a long exposure was used on straight video, is this possible? Motion blur in vegas affects everything for example, but it has the "8-bit" look.

Nice tutorial!

I'll like to see more about HD and expressions.
