  1. Hi Corey. Fantastic tutorial as usual!! Yes, the sound is out of sync but I was able to follow the instructions anyway. Now, I have a problem, when I merge the layer with the dissolve later style and the new layer underneath it smooth up the sparkles to almost a complete blur. I tried several times and no luck! Any ideas? I was working in a 20in x 5in, 300dpi. I was making a title for a poster.

    Good luck in the World’s event in Vegas. Unfortunately I won’t be able to go, maybe next time.

    Thank you very much!
