I've been told several ways of achieving this, but i always seem to forget. http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Wed, 21 Mar 2007 21:31:36 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-2 Glad to be of service :) http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Fri, 23 Mar 2007 01:28:47 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-3 很漂亮，喜欢你的教程，谢谢！加油哦 http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Wed, 11 Apr 2007 11:04:45 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-4 Thanks a lot for the tutorial. But I can't manage it. The beam just moves clockwise with a degree when I preform "Transform again". The beam can't be duplicated. http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Wed, 11 Apr 2007 11:49:48 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-5 It sounds like your missing a key off the shortcut, just for you to check For the mac the shortcut is: command+alt+shift+T For windows it's: ctrl+alt+shift+T Let me know if you still have any problems! http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Thu, 12 Apr 2007 16:39:50 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-6 You're right. I really missed a key off the shortcut before. I can now have my sunbeams. Thanks a lot for your help. I will watch out on your site for more tutorials. Thanks a lot! :D And do you mind telling me how you recorded the tutorials and save it as .mov. I'm a Mac user as well. :) http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Fri, 13 Apr 2007 09:23:55 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-7 Yeah sure :) My workflow is a bit lengthy because I like to use h264 to keep the files small, but unfortunately there's a bug with Snapz Pro X (the app I record with) that breaks the movie. Thus, it goes something like this: 1. Capture the movie in SnapzPro X 2. Export at full quality using Apple Animation Codec 3. Open in Quicktime Pro, then export again using h264. As an alternative to Snapz Pro X which is a tad pricey, you could use the much cheaper iShowU but if you want to record in h264 you'll need quite a beefy mac (or an intel one at any rate). And if you don't want to get Quicktime Pro then you can use either VisualHub or an open source solution to convert the video. http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Fri, 13 Apr 2007 10:40:51 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-8 Again, thanks so much for your generous help. I really appreciate it. :D http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Tue, 22 May 2007 03:39:41 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-9 There seems to be a problem with your download.php. I was able to get the link but I had to bypass download.php. Peace! http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comments Tue, 22 May 2007 03:40:49 GMT http://creativeflux.co.uk/entry/sun-beams-effect/#comment-10 I guess I should have posted the working link for others.

Everything should be fine now :)
