Hello,

Just a side note.  Near the end of the video, at 4min30sec, the instructor adds Pixel Motion Blur to the adjustment layer of his composition and asks us to make sure we position the effect at the bottom of the stack.  This is wrong for two reasons.

1. adding the effect on the adjustment layer will neutralize all other effects in the adjustment layer.  It’s obvious in the video—notice how the colors suddenly shift back to their original values.

2. pixel motion blur should be applied to the video layer and not an adjustment layer as it’s affecting the pixels within the video and not the composition as a whole.  I tried it both ways and without a doubt, the effect works best when applied to the video layer.

Other than that, great tutorial.

All the best,

Jerome
