I'm putting together a video for my grandson that will be birth to 18 months (maybe birth to 5 years if I keep on delaying things). One of my goals in the video is to do something different that I haven't done in the past. I've been looking at some momoffduty's stuff to get some ideas on ideas.
I have CS3 and was thinking on doing a scrap book type of thing. I did that with my mom's memorial video and had an old paper background and had photos change on that. I used corner pin to change the page ever once and a while. I've look at page curl and like that. I saw the camera "flying" over the page tut to get a close up at each picture... that may be good too. It looks like lots of work, but may be doable.
One of my basic questions is how long can a project (comp?) in AE be? Normally the stuff I've messed with is 30 sec. Can I make the whole thing in AE and have it be 8:30? What about music? I like to time the transitions with the music Does AE have an audio track, I haven't see one. This whole thing may be out of the scope of AE. If so, would I just make the page curl on two pages and bring that comp into PPro and work with it there?
Thanks for help with these basic questions.
