Comments | | | | very valuable information. A handy shortcut is the ALT key, holding down ALT, left and right arrow keys or page up or down will move keyframes in time. SHIFT, multiples of five or ten.
Also works moving whole layers I think.

| | | | This doesn't always work with Fractal Noise presets in CS4 unless you return some of the settings back to their original values. If Transform Rotation, Subsettings Subrotation, etc. are set, you will have to either remove the keyframes (making the loop less varied) or slowly return them to their original value (which can make the video look as if it's reversing direction, but smoothly) in order to get a seamless loop. | | | | |

Adobe After Effects basics | Using Fractal Noise to Create Fire
In this tutorial, Matt Dallos demonstrates using Fractal Noise in After Effects 5.5 to create fire. More specifically, he demonstrates the Bonanza look of a fire burning through a piece of paper. Yes, this effect could be generated in a 3d program or plugins, but why bother when you can do it with filter set in AE. You can also use these same basic steps to create other plasma and liquid type effects.

Fractal Noise - A New Look at an Old Friend
When Adobe released After Effects version 7, the attention turned to major new features such as the user interface, 32bit HDR support and the graph editor. However there's another small update which is very significant for some users- the ''Fractal Noise'' effect is no longer confined to the Professional bundle, it's now included with the Standard edition. So for anyone who's never used the Professional version, or anyone who has never used Fractal Noise, Chris Zwar lifts the hood on this immensely powerful feature.
