Hi Andrew (or anyone who can help)

Im interested in using this preset for a video montage for my college. I have several 1-1.30min interviews that i want to house all on the same screen, the same way the titles are layed out. Is there a way of programming the sure target preset to jump to the next interview a minute or so later? Is it just a case of slowing the transitions down?
by david koiava 01/25/2010

Nice tutorial but I'm getting confused really. My Null Object won't go on and change the perspective. I watched your Tut very often and made it like u but it won't go. Btw I'm getting an error when I'm trying to add the SureTarget that the Position/Slider/Checkbox has no method.

It seems like this tutorial cuts off around 12:40. I like the preset, but I was also interested in how you made the squares effect in the background.

Hey there, first of all AMAZING tutorial! Thank you very much..

Now there's this one thing which I can't get past, and believe it or not it's the final step. I'm rendering my Comp and when I see the final result I find out that my BG was not rendered, therefore none of the Blocks are affected by BG and are shown in B

Andrew ... I have to say .. nice stuff! Love the humor! you have a fantastic attitude towards teaching or presenting, ever think about being a DJ? :) thanks for the lesson but i think i have to revert to basics, this tut is alittle above me (the skill not the teaching) but i will see more of your stuff soon!
