Hi there,

Does anybody have any suggestions or tutorials to point me toward re
creating a zoom and scan across a newspaper effect where a specific
part of the paper is highlighted? I'm open to various ways of
conveying the same idea, I just don't want it to look cheesy or cheap.

I also have a vector map of the US that Im going to alter before
dumping into FCP. I'm concerned about it looking bitmapped once placed
into FCP. any suggestions or alt ways of saving it to avoid that?

At my disposal: FCP/Motion/After Effects

thanks so much for any input you might have!
Travis
