Excellent article on AE, and feedback on docs and tutorials...

Steve Kilisky has linked an excellent article about 32-bit color support on his After Effects blog.

Read the entry here: The World of Color

In addition to the article link, Steve is asking for feedback on After Effects instructional content (the docs, tutorials, Resource center, and so forth) - I encourage anyone with opionions on or ideas for the After Effects content to head on over to his blog and let him know what you think!

Hi Jen,

I am trying to create a gradual zoom in/out effect on a photo. I wrote the following code:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var xScaleT:Tween = new Tween(island_mc, "_xscale", Back.easeOut, 80, 100, 120, true);
var yScaleT:Tween = new Tween(island_mc, "_yscale", Back.easeOut, 80, 100, 120, true);

This works well. My photo scaled smoothly. But the problem is it only scales smoothly in one frame. If I insert more frames, the photo scales with distortion.

I have other layers that span multiple frames. The idea is to make the gradual zoom of the photo the background with some text moving across the photo.

How can I get this to work?

Thanks.
