Sorry in advance if there are some illustrating errors, I am still learning After Effects, and motion typography animations are usually tricky.

Marc,


Is there an issue with my video player or  is there just one frame with "powerful" ?  Also, there are some black rectangles randomly appearing at the bottom?

Can you explain a bit what you wanted to do?  I think it should be more complex than one frame.


Cheers,


Andrei

Marc Tannouson December 15 2014 08:21 UTCTry installing a h264 codec

This is a 1 minute long animation, not just a frame, there must be an issue with your h264 codec. There is no need for you to try to solve it on your end though, so I uploaded it to youtube.


There is some heavy quality loss, but try and ignore that : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACJxCEto5-Alist=UUR92ZPZIW1WACeE9iEWaU6Q

a) Open Sans Bebas


b) The music is a free track that I downloaded from a band's youtube channel, it is free to use in non-monetized videos.

Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.

Sean on December 15 2014 15:28 UTCpost it?

Marc, would you post this to youtube or some other similar public site so we can reference it?  Great work.  Only issue I noticed is that the "J" in "Join Us" got lost, but the rest looks just fantastic.
