Re: Creating Custom Backgrounds
by Jason Jordan

Hey Rich these are great. I just moved over from FCP X to Ppcs5.5 and am glad I did.
Is there a way in cs5.5 to do Bezier type Lower 3's or do I have to use Photoshop or Aftereffects only? I'm wondering if even Elements 10 will let me custom design my L3's a little better.

Thank You
Jason
