Lloyd. I have a quick question. When I tired to do the slow camera advance on the logo towards the end I get this weird rubber band effect where the logo comes up to the camera and overfills the field of view and then bounces back out. I have no idea how to fix that, do you have any suggestions?
Anyways, thanks for the tut. This site, aescripts and your tutorials are fantastic. It was so thorough I was able to work through it and it was my second time using AE.
Thanks!
buenisimo
sigan adelante!!!
