You hit it. If I toggle to anchor point mode it works great.
Great. It's been a while since I fielded a question on the L2.
Glad I helped -- a small payback to you and the L2 gang that frequently help _me_
Have a great weekend John . . . get some rest!
Cheers,

I was having trouble in reshape mode and hadn't tried toggling to anchor point mode. That mode gives me two points at each end of the brush stroke one being at the end and one a little in on the stroke. This actually is a more versatile shaping tool than the line tool in BCC wire removal. I'd bet there is a custom shape or spline tool in BCC to free hand draw but the bezier points in the Avid scratch seem to be fine. Next time I'll remember that. Or probably next time I have a brain fart and ask the same question you'll remember the first time you gave me the answer.

So clearly you are well aware of it. I wasn't sure.. . [snip] . .I'm using paint effect set to scratch removal mode and then drawing a brush stroke. I'm not using a tool with the eraser icon.What I would like is to be able to just drag the end points of the brush strokes around but that's not what happens to the stroke shape.Have you tried double-clicking on the shape or stroke? Double-clicking should toggle betweenthe reshape tool (revealing the separate control points/nodes to play with) and the arrow/selection tool.Lines *should* have a control point/node on each end . . . I'm not sure about a 'blob' though, and I'm notin front of a system at the moment to check.BCC wire removal works with a line mode where you move the two end points of the line and adjust the width of the line. You can then chose a cover mode which smudges in adjacent pixels or a clone mode.It's easy to move the end points every frame. I'm not seeing that behavior with paint effect scratch removal.BCC sounds more robust (to put it kindly).Sorry I couldn't really lend any substantive help.Have a good weekend!Cheers,Benjamin

I was hoping to use a small brush and paint over some mono filament that is dancing around and catching the light some times. I thought I could use scratch removal set to a 1 frame offset and just brush over the filament on each frame but when I draw the first brush stroke I end up with that brush stroke on every frame. If I go to another frame and delete the brush stroke it's gone on the first frame etc.... I recall dust busting just going to a frame and tapping on the dust spot and then moving to the next frame but maybe that was just using the scratch removal macro which is only two frames long.I ended up using BCC 8 wire removal and it's fine but am I crazy about scratch removal? If you set up a long scratch removal paint effect is there a way to put in a fresh brush stroke on every frame. I recall that the fluid motion effect editor works that way in that drawing a brush stroke on one frame doesn't put it on every frame. You had to paint the fluid motion effect shape on every frame on to itself IIRC. I remember being confused in the fluid motion effects editor because I wanted to animate a shape in the same manner I would a license blur in paint effect but it didn't work that way.Is there something in Avid that I'm missing in Paint Effect or some other standard effect?John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@pacbell.net
