Scatter effect not filling screen

[Mark080]

Hi Guys,

I am fairly new to after effects. I am trying to animate my company logo. I have it centered in the screen and have applied the CC ball action. I have managed to key frame it so the balls are scattered then come together to form the logo. However the problem I'm finding is the balls only scatter the size of the logo, not the entire screen. I have struggled to find any tutorials on how to get the scatter to fill the screen.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Without seeing it, it sounds like you just need to precomp your logo (choose "Move all attributes into the new composition."). Then apply your effect to the precomp.

That sorted it great, thanks Pete, I never would have found that out.
