Shape layer > Rectangle > Adjust roundness. Animate width from a circle to rectangle. BOOM

Throw it in a tracer, only if it can be straight splines though. Check out this setup for making it outside of mograph: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sjgeest1fu25dir/SplinePoint-Null_Setup.c4d?dl=0 You could make the cloner editable, then use this^^, as long as theres not a ton of clones, would take a while.

You could change the 'Shutter Phase' attribute in comp settings to a negative number.

Hey yall, I was using this for a bit recently on Mac (Mavericks/Yosemite) and was noticing a very annoying 'lag' in the timeline while selecting keys and layers. Thought it was more on the AE side but just did some troubleshooting and this plugin is causing it, even without any of the divider layers active. Wouldn't suggest using it under mac at this point, maybe Mountain Lion is different...

Looks like they released a new version a couple of days ago, and it's awesome. https://vimeo.com/121569449

This should be an option, seriously. I'd change it to white. Also having problems with the keyframe selection visibility. Agree with the general consensus of this thread, what's the point of spending time on this stuff when it just goes and gets bunged up all the time.

10.8.5 because of the finder preview thing and I don't really see a reason to upgrade at this point and risk things not working.

If I had to take a guess, I would say closer to half that, even less.

Haha, hilarious. I don't even remember posting this. Guess I've been doing this stuff "a while now".

Very "January" thoughts.

That song completes me.

Go in and adjust the grouping alignment property. Use a rotation property animator instead and animate the start value.

To save time during the start of this process, I would use Immigration to import all of the image sequences at once into AE, since you can browse through a main directory of folders and it will find all of the sequences. As for renaming all of them, not sure.

There are times when you need to re-vert back to the past import way, some things just don't transfer over properly. Sometimes faster to try that first rather than troubleshoot the whole thing.
