Im doing a very simple tutorial and I have encountered a few problems which I have been unaware of before.
Here is the link to the tut - http://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/motion-graphics/use-a-jello-jiggly-ex pression-quick-tip/
In the beginning he duplicates the text and changes the blending mode of the top layer to multiply. First problem I encountered is my text barely changes colour/appearance in any way when doing this.
Next he applies a Matte>simple choker and cranks it to 40. Second problem when I do this I see no choke because the multiply hasnt made enough diffeence to notice. Also I soloed the duplicate layer and cranked the choker up but I cant take it any higher than about 8 or it just starts disappearing.
I tried the same thing with a shape and that seemed to be even more problematic. I used a rectangle and duplicated it. When i choked it the duplicate gets round corners and stretches horizontally. WHats going on here?
Am I doing something wrong here? I am following the video instructions precisely. Thank you.
