Comments | | | | @Kuro...I LOVE Stargate SG1. Is that the opening you were talking about?
@Pervez...Not sure what your problem is. Is you caps lock on or do you have the small caps toggle on in the character rollout? Those would be my 2 guesses.
@Owen...Never saw couples retreat. Can you send me a link to a video of the opening? If I like it and think it would make a good tutorial and show some new techniques, I may give it a go.
Thanks to everyone for watching and the great comments. | | | | |
| | | | As am a newer to after effects.....I dont get how to type harry p font In Small Letters(Lower case)...
Will you please guide me on this matter.... | | | | |

| | | | Thanks Mike for this brilliant tutorial - I've learned a lot from it.
One thing I'd like to see would be the opening titles for Couple's Retreat. I know, it's a chick flick, but I like the titles!
Thanks again! | | | | |
| | | | Thanks for sharing. Learned a lot. | | | | |
| | | | Just getting into AE. Will have to find a way to use this - maybe instead of clouds I'll do it with guts.

| | | | When I watch the COW's AE tutorials i wish my job would involve more After Effects.

2. Adding fantasy digital matte painting to a footage in after effect just like you are in a fantasy world although you are just in your back yard.
Thanks!

Do you have any other effects, movie or tv, you would like to see in upcoming tutorials? I am always looking for new ideas.
Mike | | | | |
| | | | I think the pixilation has more to do with the resolution of the texture applied to the text than the text itself. The text is already vector as it is a font, not an image. I have not looked at this too deeply, but that is my first thought. Apply a larger texture to the text in the precomp and see if that fixes the problem.
Best,
Mike | | | | |
| | | | Total AE newb, but could you have avoided the pixelation on the text by using a vectored Illustrator file? Or at the very least, building the text in an oversize comp? | | | | |
| | | | Great tutorial, great job! Thank you very much! | | | | |
