"Eric, there are several hundreds of user generated presets in the preset sharing group. Others are scattered in the discussions. One way to find the diaspora is to search for .zip files, because the Mac presets must be zipped to work as an upload.…"

Thanks Candice.
The Chinese characters are a translation of the title of the song as well as one of the lyric phrases of the song "Cheery Blossom Snow". I made a text movie brush from jpgs I made from a font. Some are randomly applied (like the color early sequence) some more rigid and applied along the line of a region brush. I also wanted the straight line text to be a bit twitchy as it was applied. So I used the changing luminance of a specially made source movie to modulate the width and length of the brush. The net effect is a non-static line of text that has energy in it. It's funny I had to make and remake the luminance source movie 4 times to get it so it would twitch the text brush just enough but not enough to be distracting.
The swimming sequence was hard to work with. I was using a very low quality source video... and I worked long and hard to come up with an edge quality that worked for me. I had a lot of spurious paths flying off the edges of the figure. Since it was taking too much time to figure out how to paint it right the first time, I simply loaded my 1st pass render into a movie layer and hand cleaned up the frames with a black brush and some cloning. Then I took a few different incarnations of the footage and layer composited them in FCPX adding blur to some and adjusting saturation and exposure on others. I like the way she winds up feeling like a kind angel as she flies over the bustling urban neon night scene.

Eric posted a discussionpreset/PAS user repository?
I think it would be great if studio artist internally supported a user submitted preset/PAS repository. Something akin to what Filter Forge does for it's filter settings. I know there is a forum group or two for sharing, but I believe it would be more organized/user friendly, and help add value to the program. A method of rating presets would also help find out the types of settings/effects the majority of people find most useful. Maybe also supporting a short description stating originally…See More
