    Hey Paul-

    Its in there...check to see if the ? movie is in the footage folder...if it is, then maybe its an issue with Charateristic.

    Let me know...

    Hi Orrin, I have checked the .zip file Lightspeed comes in and there is no ?.mov in the LIGHTSPEED FOOTAGE folder. I have A-Z ! $ - and _ but no ?

    Can you send that over separately so I can add the ? to the footage folder manually please?

    Does anyone know a fancier/cleaner way to transition out without precomping and reversing the time? I am using the typeface in combination with 'characteristic' script

    hey daniel- theres no automated way thats built in, you have to use your imagination....lens flare out each letter? cut to a second time-reversed animation with different settings (wilder introduction?)...?

    By any chance, would you have the animated fonts for accents like : à, é, è, ù?
    Thanks for the follow-up...

    I make my videos in the French language... it would be neat to have those in extras.
    Looking forward to hear from you...

    Hello Orrin, just bought Lightspeed, quite amazing results! 

    My question, when i use one of your bonus clips, you can see the black squares on each letters over the bonus clips.
    Anyway to get rid of that? I noticed in your examples ( included in the project ) the squares are not there. Blending modes?

    Sorry im quite Mr Noobyness when it comes to AFX.  

    Cheers!

    They Thuryn-
    Hmmm...sounds like a level thing...maybe your monitor is bette than mine. You can try pre-comping the text and adjust the level (color correction) or brightness and contrast.

    Hey I need help! I bought the font yesterday and when I import it to my ae composition the fonts don't appear, instead a square with stripes of the colors the font is supposed to be appears. At the beginning it told me I was missing the Helvetica font, so I downloaded and installed it but still is not working. Please this is urgent.

    Hi, Orrin!
    So love the font and the extras!
    Question: I understant it's compatible with Characteristic. Could it possibly work with Font Manager from Animography? I've tried to use it but their Font manager doesn't seem to find Lightspeed once I open the project file. Thanks!

    Howdy Irina- I'm not sure...I'll look into it. I know when I developed it, there was no Font Manager. I have to learn more about it.

    I'll be back.

    Sadly, Font Manager is only for .jsx files - LightSpeed is really a film-based (QT) font, so can only use Characterisitic.

    Sorry.

    Will this work in AE 2023-24? Characteristic has been discontinued, is there anything else that will work with this animated font? Thank you.
