1. Re: delay in linear wipe?
Mylenium Jan 25, 2012 8:29 AM (in response to jaymcdonald)That's a limitation in all dynamically rasterized content, meaning shape layers, text and items with continuous rrasterization. You would have to pre-compose the text for effects to recognize the actual bounds. otehr than that you could rig such stuff with expressions to compensate...

Dave LaRonde Jan 25, 2012 8:31 AM (in response to jaymcdonald)Um, trim the in-point of the text layer?

4. Re: delay in linear wipe?
Dave LaRonde Jan 25, 2012 8:43 AM (in response to jaymcdonald)It's about as straightforward as you could get: find the point on the text layer where the wipe begins. That's your new in point. Trim the layer.
If you don't know how, you need to look up trimming layers in AE's Online Help. The search function works really well.

jaymcdonald Jan 25, 2012 8:55 AM (in response to Dave LaRonde)Sorry. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by this vast new paradigm, and gettign a little blinkered. It seems the 8+ hrs of Lynda.com training just scratched the mere surface.

Dave LaRonde Jan 25, 2012 9:56 AM (in response to jaymcdonald)There usually are also a couple of ways to skin a cat in AE, too. For example, you don't HAVE to trim the layer's in-point, you can also modify the beginning percentage and move the keyframes around. Either way works just as well.

Rick Gerard Jan 25, 2012 11:31 AM (in response to jaymcdonald)Been doing AE since it was CoSA 1.1 and I'm still just scratching the suface.
