Thank you for the fast-paced tutorial...

Is there a way to turn off the layer fill/opacity? basically render just the Autofill effect, without the layer it is applied to? I can't find a way to do this :(

My AutoFill us Updated, but does not have the Borders and Bridges. Can you please help?

I like the bridge feature a lot, but just tried it over custom text, brought from Illustrator - doesn't bridge from one font to the next using bridge ;( not sure if there is a workaround

Is the cursor animated? what? Why? Those cursor movements look too smooth to be recorded for real. Why would someone go through the pain of animating a cursor just for a tutorial? Do you have an efficient workflow for this? Because there's no way... I'm amazed, but... damn...

James, this is ridiculously fast. Please do not follow the hype and presentation edicts of US marketing. You are Australian and selling your wares to the world, not just North America.
