Hi, I hope you can answer me as quick as possible, because I am having a problem with your Omino Snake plugin in combination with After Effects CC. When I am following the tutorial on vimeo about the layer and path thing, it’s not connecting to the image I am using. I also tried to put the image in a new composition, but that doesnt help. I hope you can help me out because I really like the plugin!
Hello —
The most likely two things are:
1) there’s a Bug where the snake image size start as 1%, so too small to see, set slider up to 100%.
2) the vertical-offset needs to be set to around 1/2 the height of your snake image.
That might be the issue, best.
thanks for your quick help. I am a bit further now, it is showing two circles now instead of nothing. here is a screenshot of what i see now http://oi57.tinypic.com/2psocnk.jpg. I am not able to see my puppet anymore when i click the path-layer off. I am still doing something wrong but i am following this tutorial
step by step…
Sorry for al these reply-bombing. I am further by setting the scale to 80%, but it is using my image the wrong way. the left puppet is how i want it to show on the path (like your snake) but it is turning it into the one you see on the path.. what am i doing wrong? http://oi58.tinypic.com/dbo9iv.jpg
Ah, yes, the “snake” image has to be horizontal, long in X and narrow in Y.
Wow thanks for your quick reply! that worked! now another problem (hope its the last one!) when i want to set the keyframe for it to move, it is only visible in the first frame, changes color in the second en then disapears.. so i cannot set the ‘advance’ to when i want it to ‘snake’
