    cool video again
    if you add in your angle jitter a fade set to 250 get a nice twist.
    make a b/w then look back video or 2 to 3d streaks see it come to life
    very basic still playing http://snipurl.com/fbvur thats what all about end of the day

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
