Hi,

 

I'd like to fill a matte which I masked with the rotobrush with a single color. I think I need to fill the final layer (matte+alpha), but how do I manage this?

ARB param not syncing with GPU render entry

$
0
0

I'm using an ARB param with a custom UI.

As long as I'm modifying the it from within the ARB UI handler (DoClick and DoDrag) the data is flattened and synced with the GPU entry properly.

The problems happen when I try to change the ARB data from a different parameter (in UserChangedParam). Then the changes are visible in UI thread, the ARB control updates properly, but the underlying data is not updated (until I make an action in DoClick or DoDrag within that ARB).

 

The changes are not visible in GPU entry and are not saved when I close the application. Is there a way to force the flattening of ARB outside of the ARB UI handler? (DoClick / DoDrag)?

.MOV video importing into After Effects with no audio

$

Hi There, I am having some trouble with .mov video coming into after effects with no sound. I have windows and downloaded quicktime, the .mov video has sound when I play, but once I imported it doesn't show any signs of audio (I don't even show the sound icon on the left side of layers). I tried scrubbing, clicking play on the preview tab but my audio waves show no life.

 

Is there something I might be doing wrong when I import?

 

Thank you,

How do I remove this white colour in the feather from a mask over a gradient fill?

$
0
0

I want a single gradient fill from white to greying white with a feathered edge over transparency. I keep getting 1 colour at the feather from the mask instead of the gradient fill feathering of to transparency without solid white. I have also tried a tracking matte option no luck. How can take away this horrible result other than recreating what I want from scratch in photoshop or illustrator? [Update: A mask of a photoshop file does the same thing. The photoshop file will need to include transparency as well then.]

Can Text Return in a Template?

$

Hi Guys

I have made a number of templates in Ae for PPr, where text is limited to just one row. Now I need to make a template with a block of text, where I should like the text to return when I type into the PPr template.

 

I tried a text layer, but the template just continues off screen in one row. So I drew a bounding box direct onto the background and moved the anchor to the centre and aligned the text to the centre of the composition. This does return, but the text does not adjust to the horizontal centre when it returns and continues off the screen to the bottom. I attach an image..

Text_Return.jpg

Is it possible to insert a text return in a template or am I overlooking the blindingly obvious on how to set this up?

Rolling numbers

I need numbers to count upwards whilst rolling, i'll attach an image from the storyboard to show exactly what I mean.

 

I can slider the numbers which is fine for the count but I can't seem to figure out how to get the numbers to roll simultaneously.

 

I have gotten close with an odometer style roll but that leaves my first number static till the second numbers reaches 9 if that makes any sense.

 

Any help will be hugely appreciated.

I've been trying to use the 3d camera track for a while, and it doesnt work. I don't know why but i've always had this problem, and my footage its not shaking, its in really good light. I've tried removing the moving subject, masking it out, so the tracker wont get confused, but it also didnt work. Right now, im running the CC 15 version of the After Effects.

I really need some help, i've been looking in this forum for an answer and nothing!!

Audio length in AE doesn't match file length, audio won't sync correctly and other issues

$
0
0

Specs:
AE - latest version

i7 7700hq

Gtx 1060 6gb using latest Nvidia Studio Driver (also tried older versions)

16gb RAM

 

I have a simple project in AE. Its just a static background video (.mxf CBR) with an animated text opacity loop. I'm using 1/4 preview and generally have the .mxf background disabled. The comp is only 1920x1080p.

 

 

The main issue is that the audio in the file does not match its file length. The audio is exactly 1hr and is CBR. I've used WAV and AAC (both CBR and VBR). The imported audio is always ~4s shorter than the actual file but is not cut off.

 

My audio settings for hardware AE and everything else are set to 48khz, the audio files in question are 48khz. The buffer for my interface is set to 1024 which should be more than enough.

 

 


The secondary issue is that (I believe because of whatever is interpreting the audio wrong initially) the animation doesn't stay synced to the audio. I even tested to make sure that I had the correct animation length. The audio file is with 100% certainty exactly 60bpm.


To test I made the looped (loopOut()) animation at lengths of 5:29, 6:00, and 6:01. The 5:29 stays synced till about 8min in until there is a noticeable lag and then it goes off. The others don't stay synced (as expected). When exported in various formats with either 29.97 or 30fps I still get the same result and syncing problem.

 

 

 

Possibly related issues: One strange issue is that sometimes during playback my display will flicker and the audio will change pitch and speed, almost like its changing sample rate. Usually then I'll get an 'Unspecified Drawing Error' and 'Unknown exception' or sometimes 'Out of memory, 296k requested' and occasionally the program will crash along with my display driver and I have to restart. On export the audio will also sometimes have skipping sounds (not typical pops and crackles with too low buffer)

 

Things I've tried: using both my interface's ASIO and MME drivers, using the built in sound card, triple checking the audio rate settings, uninstalling and re-installing AE, having only AE open, using my interface exclusively for AE, updating display drivers (tried both studio and gameready), purging cache

 

Note: I would try Premiere instead but I'm using CompsFromSpreadsheet to create many different versions.

AE continuous crashes after 'Unknown Exception', 'Unspecified Drawing Error', then RAM warning and crash (on a simple project)

Specs:
i7 7700hq

GTX 1060 6gb

16gb RAM

 

I have a simple project that crashes continuously during preview.

 

The project is just a looped text opacity animation with a .mxf video in the background. The project is only 1920x1080p and is in 1/4 preview quality.

 

Even with everything else deleted and just the text animation I still run into this issue. First I get an 'Unknown Exception' then a repeated 'Unspecified Drawing Error' and then often times a 1997kb memory requested 23:40 error and a crash. I also get crashes without fail when trying to render from AE.

 

Things I've already tried many times:

  • Purging cache
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling AE (and trashing prefs)
  • Updating and downgrading drivers
  • Enabling Mercury Transmit
  • Lowering and increasing available RAM to AE
  • Enable 'Reduced cache size...'
  • Reverting to saved layout (though I never changed layouts)

After Effects CS5.5 Not Responding

$

Hi Everyone,

 

I own Adobe Production Premium CS5.5.  I was recently working on a project, imported footage, added it to my timeline, editied the footage as necessary, rendered and exported it. all good.  I made a few video projects using similar footage also, and all worked fine.  The file type is .mp4 and works in VLC fine.

 

Today however, I imported the exact same footage that I used in the first project, and whenever I move the timeline cursor throughout the footage, the progam stops working and becomes non responsive (with the error The program is not responding.)   I even tried using some of the other footage, and some other videos and same thing.

 

I updated my graphics card drivers, no avail, same problem occurs.

 

Comp specs are as follows

 

ACPI x64-based PC

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz

SSD 960 EVO 500GB

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Installed Memory 16.0 GB

 

I have emptied my cache folder, and tried googling other ideas, to no avail,  this is my second last resort before having to uninstall the product and re install it, not somethiing I wish to do.

 

I also tried using the same footage in Preimere Pro, and though the footage didnt freeze the program, it did however just not show the footage.

Using "Audio Amplitude" to speed up movement?

$
0
0

Hi, I'm fairly new to using After Effects, and I was wondering how I could edit the position of my camera using the Audio Amplitude keyframes. I want my camera layer to be moving forward on the Z axis at a constant speed, and when the audio amplitude reaches a certain level, the motion of the camera is sped up—using the amplitude to determine how much faster. Can this be done with simple expressions, or is this something that's more advanced?

 

I currently have this expression on the Camera position:

 

temp = thisComp.layer("POS.AMP").effect("Both Channels")("Slider");

[960, 540, temp]

 

But this only makes the camera Z position match the value of the amplitude, which means that it will move forward and backwards

I’m putting a reel together from various After Effects projects that will be tied together and edited in Premier Pro.  I am exporting my AE Comps as ProRes 422 HQ.  The AE comps are authored in 32bit.  When exporting, Media Encoder gives me an option to export the Depth as 8-bpc or 16-bpc.

 

Can someone explain what these options are and in what circumstances I would want to use one over the other?

 

My understanding is that ProRes is a 10bit codec.  I already checked the option to “Render at Maximum Depth”.  So what do the 8-bpc and 16-bpc options do?

My Affect Keeps Freezing/ Stopping

I am using the lightning affect.

At a certain point along my timeline the affect freezes.  It stays in frame but doesn't change.  The video itself continues but without the active movement of the lightning.  I want to continue the affect as it was acting before this strange imaginary barrier.

 

I tried creating a new layer with the lightning affect.  I planned to used this when the first layered affect stops moving.  Even then, this new layered affect freezes/ stops at that same point along my timeline.  Why are my affects stopping at the same place in my timeline?  How can I continue this affect?

 

Thank you all for your help!

Freeform Gradient in After Effects

$
0
0

I have hit a wall because I have a gradient feature that is only available on Illustrator (freeform gradients), but it can't be imported as an editable object within after effects. I planned to simply animate the nodes within After Effects as a simple animation. I now have to work hard to make this look as seamless as it could have been.

 

I am really annoyed that features such as this are completely disregarded or treated as un-needed for motion but very much a necessity for vector graphics. I'll say for example, when a client asks for a graphic using a freeform gradient done in illustrator needs to be animated, and you have to explain that the feature isn't available on my motion graphic software because it hasn't been developed yet, it's very embarrassing.

 

I'm trying workaround techniques, but it is nowhere near as smooth as it is within the freeform gradient tool in illustrator.

 

I can't find the right avenue for a feature request for the freeform gradient to be transferable over different applications, as photoshop and InDesign also lack the use of this too. I have to make document links or smart object as the only way to import a non-destructive version of the gradient. But this isn't an option for After Effects, if you wish the gradient nodes to animate.

 

I would prefer not having the freeform gradient available at all, because it is not able to be used in other applications and only seems to hinder me rather than help.
It feels like a half-arsed feature, as it's completely landlocked to only Illustrator.

 

Sorry, I'm getting exasperated by this.

 

I really should make this into a better discussion, rather than me pissing in the wind about my woes:

Does anyone seem to be developing a gradient tool/plugin that can emulate the freeform gradient tool within After Effects?

or

Is there a possibility that Adobe is planning to make the freeform gradient more available on other applications, such as After Effects?

After Effects to Premiere Export Project Workflow

$
0
0

I'm no stranger to Adobe Dynamic Links (ADL) and I'm not stranger to just nesting the ADLs in Premiere and then replacing with AE renders. Both of those techniques work well. When you have a monster comp size, ADLs are basically trash. If you're just doing text overlays, ADLs are great. But, what happens when you're working in an 8k or greater project and there's been some editing on the AE level that you have to go back and conform in Premiere before it goes to color in yet another program?

 

There's a nice little feature in After Effects that let's you export your entire project as a Premiere file. This will bring your edit into PR. Everything doesn't exist in PR so don't even think that it'll be there!

Export an After Effects project as a Premiere Pro project

 

Beyond that very brief document, I couldn't find a whole lot about preparing these files.

 

Having used this a few times now, here are some best practices I've learned:

  • Duplicate your AE project first because you're going to be getting rid of a lot of things.
  • (Optionally, un-precompose each segment to make it a little easier on the input into PR process)
  • Remove all expressions from any videos because they will cause a "Nan%" error in Premiere on your footage and videos just won't display. Confusing!
  • PR pretty much ignores all text layers, so either remove them all (script anybody?) in After Effects or Premiere. Easier in PR because there might be some other export goblins to get rid of. Some FX come in as solid slugs. Be warned!
  • PR will not always link back all of your footage so make sure your AE file is well organized with source folders. It won't ask you to re-link (bug?) so you have to manually select all footage / images etc and link it.
  • Some speed ramping, speed reversing doesn't translate back into PR (bug?). The manipulation for this stuff exists in both programs so it's a surprise it doesn't work properly. So: always do a little export so you can crosscheck in PR with a little PIP!

Morph path or mask - bad line quality

Hello all,

 

I am attempting to morph two shapes, however, I am having trouble with bad line quality. I have tried morphing them as paths and as masks (using mask interpolation), yet, both attempts give me bad quality lines during the morphing process. Please see images. The "Start" and "End" look quite similar but I can assure you they are not the same shape, therefore, simply shifting the position and scale will not work. I am assuming it has to do with the vertices? Any ideas on how to make this transition much cleaner / smoother?

 

Thanks in advance,

Trim Path Problem

$

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

I drew a few bodies in illustrator (pen tool > the lines are a stroke, brush definition is basic and with a variable width profile). I imported the drawing in AE because I wanted to make an animation where the lines slowly seem to be drawn on the screen — if that makes any sense.

I did the 'create shapes from vector layer' and then 'add > trim paths'. But when I adjust the keyframes from the trim paths the animation doesn't follow the lines that I drew, but it makes a weird fill effect. (See screenshot!) Does anybody know how to solve this? Or are there any other ways to achieve this effect (maybe even with the gradient stroke from the original drawing)?

Thanks in advance!

Expressions: Fade in a Fill-Effect when Slider matches a given value

Hello Community,

I imported a MIDI-File which got split up into several channels like pitch, velocity and duration.

 

when the pitch-slider hits e.g. the 60 ("C4") then i want to highlight a key on a keyboard.

Im actually trying this by playing with the opacity-value of a mask which has got the fill-effect in it.

 

i've got the following script so far:

pitch = thisComp.layer("midi").effect("ch_0_pitch")("Slider");
if( pitch == 60)
{
100;
}
else {
0
};

 

but i want, that everytime the C4 gots hit, the key fades in for 0.1 sec and maybe out for 0.1 sec and it needs to be hold as long as the note got pressed... If you know synthesia for piano then you know what i try to achieve. Im struggling with linear expressions and the time variables. =(

 

so, how can i fade them in and out simply?

 

Thanks in advance!

Fast blur & simple choker not working

After effects version: 16.1.2 (Build 55)

 

Hello everyone,

I'm working on an animation and unfortunately it seems that the effects fast blur (legacy) and simple choker aren't working like they should.

I actually wanted to do the effect the guy is doing in this video:

https://youtu.be/vj6hrNK4Lk4?t=301

 

So my first problem is, is that I can't find the fast blur effect (it needs to be in obsolete and not blur & sharpen). I read somewhere that I should replace it with gaussian blur but I'm starting to think that it won't work like it should.

And when I put the simple choker effect over it (like in the video) it doesn't work at all, like the effect has no effect at all.

(see picture)

 

So if you could kindly explain to me what I have to do for it to work that would be great!

checkboxes control layers on a timeline

$
0
0

Hello,

sorry if the title is confusing, I'm a little bit lost either.

 

I'm trying to build a setup where three layers are following each other on the timeline (for example layer 1 from 0 to 1 sec, layer 2 from 1 to 2 and layer 3 from 2 to 3 ) and each layer is linked to a checkbox. When the checkbox is off : the layer disappear. I wanted to use the layer's visibility as we can do with scripting, but it seems impossible with expressions, and it's the same for inPoint and outPoint I think,  so I do this with opacity.

 

So far so good.

 

But I want, for example if the Layer 1's checkbox is off, that the Layer 2 starts automatically at 0 sec and not at 1 anymore. I don't want "empty spaces" into the timeline. You see the point ?

 

And finaly, I would like everything linked to markers, so that I could control the "lenght" of each layer (I mean the amount of time each layerhas it's opacity to 100)

 

I tried some stuffs, I read some threads but I could'nt really link this to my idea.

I tried some if / else like when some checkbox of layer 1 is off, the opacity of layer 2 starts to marker one and I wrote different figure case, but all the expressions are read by the soft in order, so they finaly all cancel each other.

 

For example, I tried to write this on the layer 2's opacity :

 

AFX-auto-longueurs.PNG

 

mUn = thisComp.marker.key(1).time;

mDeux = thisComp.marker.key(2).time;

mTrois = thisComp.marker.key(3).time;

mQuatre = thisComp.marker.key(4).time; //this marker is at the end of the composition

 

possA1 = linear (time,mUn,mDeux,[100],[0]);

possA2 = linear (time,mDeux, mTrois,[100],[0]);

possA3 = linear (time,mTrois, mQuatre,[100],[0]);

possDefault = linear (time,mDeux, mTrois,[100],[0]);

 

if (thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("Plan1")("Case") == 0) {possA1} else {possDefault};

if (thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("Plan2")("Case") == 0) {0} else {possDefault};

if (thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("Plan3")("Case") == 0) {possA2} else {possDefault};

 

 

Furthermore, the linear method isn't correct, because I want some cut transition between the different states of opacity, and I don't know neither how to do this.

 

Anyone's got an idea ?

 

Thanks a lot, have a good day !

The process is, after importing the .VPE file to AE.

Set a timeline of about 5 seconds

Select the parent , hit "P"

Click the stopwatch a blue diamond keyframe appears

Click z camera tool (top toolbar)

Move the timeline slider to the 5 second mark and zoom in with mousewheel, this is where the videos ALL LIE! Whatever I do via their instruction (also as previous steps above) does not work. Some say when you do this as if by magic a new keyframe will appear, more lies!

I can add a new keyframe at 5 seconds.

Then hit Space and... NOTHING. Nothing happens.

The theory is that I start at 0 sec and the image zooms in until it reaches the 5 second mark.

I have manged this ONCE but not replicated it since.

All the videos make this look easy, unfortunately AE keeps changing and videos no longer replicate what is on my workstation.

Does anyone hhave a simple 10 step ( whatever) set of instructions that will allow me to create this effect. Win 7 64 bit and AE CC build 69.

Thanks in advance.

Standard 3D module is missing

I've recently updated to After Effects v16.1.2 and I'm now receiving the following error: After Effects can't continue: Standard 3D module is missing.

 

I've seen this error reported previously but I have not seen a satisfactory answer.

 

I'm currently running Windows 10 1903 Build 18362.329 on a Dell Inspiron 5767 with 16GB of memory. I installed AE with my virus and ransomware protection turned off.

 

My file and folder permissions are fine and my user account is fine. Please don't bother to tell me to reinstall Windows 10 or delete my user account because that's not happening. Any other advice will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

2D image to equirectangular image using VR converter

Hello everyone, A while back I worked a lot with the great plugin Skybox. In the meantime the plugin is been implemented directly in After Effects. It really works great. Normally I have been using the VR tool to create skydome videos. But now I have a project where I need to place many 2D images into a equirectangular image. In the attachment you can find one image in a 2:1 aspect ratio. This will be precomposed to a 8K by 4K skybox using the converter. My problem is that the final result that you can see in the second image is incorrect. I tried everything to fix it. Create the composition of the one image resolution bigger but it has the same result. So my question is how can I fix this problem. I see if I scale the image down the result will be fixed but I need to have this image this big in the equirectangular image. What would be the best appraoch for this? I really hope someone can help me with this.

After effects it's working very slowy and bad on my new DELL XPD 15 9570, i-7 - 8750H INTEL, 16 GB ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.

I have problems playing the preview of the video, which is never in real time but much slower.

the program also has problems playing audio.

I think it's a driver problem, that got worse after activating windows 10, currently I have installed DRIVER 436.15.

 

 

I need to know which driver I need to get After Effects working.

 

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

 

 

Thanks
