I feel physically sick that I got so far and it looked amazing until 2:20 when I attempt to drop my text into the emitter controls image source and it decides not to fit as particles of the text and appears above the particles just look shit all of a sudden....help plz ANYONE!:!:!:!

@newprminds Are you sure you set it to random fill and dropped the right layer in the image well? If you post an image of what you had just before and just after I might be able to guess what the mistake is but need more info.

@monkeybrainsmediauk I think I might have the same problem - (Not sure what you meant when responding to "newprminds" - My Shards appear to explode over the the Shared glass image - only the outline of the shard was moving, but its content looked like it was static.Image a that you cut a hole in a piece of paper - and hold it over an image of broken glass - as you move the paper (while looking through the hole - the base image doesn't move - that is what is happening to me. Can you help me? Thx

@johnga Its sounds like you may have animated the mask and not the image with the mask on! You may have selected the wrong layer (the mask instead of its parent layer the image) when drag and dropping.

Took too long! You seem like you didn't know what you were saying yourself which made me didn't want to watch this whole thing! Next time start from scratch!

@bbllaakkee5460 Thanks for the positivity ;) If you had followed comments and stuff you might have realised that I had to reconstruct things differently many times because of bugs and crashes in motion ruining the tutorial as I was recording. This confused me immensely and I nearly didn't bother finishing it at all. I didn't need to do a free tutorial. No one paid me to go through the agro.

Everything works fine, but when I exported it and put it over video the backround isn't clear, its black. Is there a way to make it clear like other motion projects?

[johnga]

@monkeybrainsmediauk Thanks for getting back to me - I'll check out which layer I've animated. Thanks for the tip.

Cool but unfortunately the important beginning of the video I do not really understand. Some steps I can not reproduce. To fast... :-/

[bbllaakkee5460]

@monkeybrainsmediauk :p my bad! this was the first one i clicked on. I later found part 1 and so on. have a nice day!

@JustForYouToSee123 Good suggestion. I do sound work also and am about to put together a website for people wanting to learn sound editing and recording. Might take a few months before it is live though.
