Evangelists Dancing On AIR...
Hello, my friends! How's that for an intriguing Blog Title?? Naturally, it's probably *not* what you think; but in fact, it's even better (thanks to the crazy-genius mind of my fellow evangelist colleague, Paul Burnett)
First off, I do hope that everyone has been enjoying the holidays. As a little treat, Paul decided to upload source material and project files for this very cool AIR application that he created for MAX San Francisco, known as "Dancing Dudes".
Essentially, he's taking advantage Flash's Pixel Bender Filter to make (Rufus and me) dance like it's 1999...LOL...but really, it's actually very cool, and it leverages audio amplitude for controlling one value and the mouse to control another. It's Flash, it's interactive, it's AIR..and you can read about it (and download it) HERE.
Other than that, I'll be back shortly with some more tips on producing and editing multi-channel surround audio files...in Soundbooth CS4! Yes, 'tis true. Didn't know it was possible? Well, stay tuned.
Until next time,
Blog on.

Hey Amelia! Well, even though 1.5 is several versions back, depending on the kind of text anims you're looking to do, you'll probably find that it's still a bit limited. I mean, you can still do some pretty basic things, animating size/opacity over time. And with the newly added blend modes in CS4 (sorry), you can extend that to create some very cool 'modern' visuals. However, if you're looking to do the more advanced stuff with per-character blur, 3D, and all the crazy 'flying in from nowhere' kinds of effects, you'll really want to look at After Effects. The best part though? We've got literally HUNDREDS of preset Text effects, already created (and still, fully editable). Hope this sheds a little light on the situation. All the best. ---JL
