Also look through the preset text animations that come with AE 6 or =
higher. There are some nice stuff that would make good transitions. =
Like instead of morphing, they animate from one to another by shifting =
around the letters. Don't forget to turn on motion blur.
Also, Maybe think about more egypt/desert related transitions. Like you =
could use a displacement map in AE to create a mirage type of thing =
where the hieroglyphics get displaced and rippled, then settle in to the =
tut letters. If it wasn't way too overused you could put a little touch =
of Trapcode Shine or other light ray effect on this through the =
transition.=20
If you want more help with AE. Go to the AE Cow where me and the other =
leaders can help you out more with an adobe solution if you wish:

Happy New Year
I am working on a Hd project about the King Tut exhibit currently here =

First of all I need to find some Hieroglyphics(any ideas?) I figure at =

appreciated. I am working with version 7 on an editor Ds so I can't use =
