Why is there a crack in the upper part after adding the transform effect? I don’t know if this is related to the center point of my Shockwave layer.

Too bad Mocha AE won't work worth a crap. Apparently, Mocha AE has very narrow codec support, but they claim to work on .r3d files. It pulls in footage from the Red Weapon with 6k Dragon sensor, but try to use 8k footage from the Helium and it doesn't work.
The only solution being offered by Mocha on their own forums is to pony up $700 for Mocha Pro 5.

When you are doing the lights on the gun you say if we move it over to the surface we aligned it to how do you do that?

Ok, so that has to be the most entertaining (and informative) two minute intro that I've seen thus far (and I've seen quite a few)! Loved the blink!

I where planning to play some games... but then I saw one tutorial. Then one more. Then this one... and now I want to play around with After Effects xD
This tutorial gave me an idea that has nothing to do with this piece. But when I noticed the effect, that ripple had on the environment. Inspiration hit me xD

Hey Andrew, what was the audio editor at the start of the video just before the tutorial really gets going? Is that within AE or a separate editor? Fabulous work, thanks for all you do

I'm new to After Effects, this might be a stupid question but I'm wondering where and how he got the warehouse background, and you can tell it's the same environment when the camera angle changes.

Great ... Very comprehensive Tips ...But I thought you would include some tips on how to compose the SFX from MOTION PULSE.
Motion pulse product has NO tutorials unlike the previous sound effects products like DESIGNER SOUND FX & PROSCORES.
Thanks
