After Effects- Paint properties are not copying (screen shots)

Hi. This is my first post- I hope I am using the correct terminology. I am trying to copy Paint properties from one video to an identical copy of a relinked Premier video (In After Effects). However the properties will not copy across with the same data. All the brush layers copy across, but the properties do not appear in the timeline. Please see the screen shots.

Is there a way of copying the properties or do I have to render the Effects and import them over the relinked file?

 

Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!

Trigger an Effect if Touching a Solid/shape/?

I want to do a series of animation of data visualizations where large groups of dots on a map would become selected and light up (glow effect on) and then deselected with the (glow effect off) this would change throughout the animation with different groups turning on and off periodically.

 

Rather than keyframe dozens of dots on and of, I'm sure there must be a clever way to do this with a line of script that perhaps checks if it is overlapping a solid, or within a shape's boundary and I can move an invisible solid over the dots to 'activate' them or...or... any ideas?

 

I'm open to any solution to this, doesn't have to be a script. Maybe there's an additive effect with an overlay solid that has a binary on/off effect.

 

Thanks in advance for your brain time!

My composition is only rendering and outputting one element from the comp...

So bizarre. It's worked flawlessly for months. Today - when I go to "Composition" > "Add to Adobe Media Render Q"... it only exports one piece of art from the composition - as though I manually selected the one element, and exported from it - which I most certainly did not. Over, and over... no matter how many different ways I try to export it, save it, render it, etc - same result.

 

What am I missing? Super frustrated.

AE Stuck on Initializing Mediacore (Creative Cloud)

Hello All,


Like many(it seems), my AE is stuck on "Initializing Mediacore". I am running Windows 10 x64 with Norton Security Suite provided by Xfinity.


I have researched this problem for an hour to no avail. I have disabled my Firewall completely, as well as manually allowed through Creative Cloud through custom monitoring. I have also downloaded QuickTime, did the PC restart, updates, etc. Still, I can not get AE to load.

 

If anyone has any suggestions, greatly appreciated.

 

I haven't uninstalled Creative Cloud yet, and all applications are up to date.

 

Sincerely,

Mike

Work Area and Tracking Camera! Please Help

I have a clip that is about 2 minutes. I want to use the entire clip as it is but I would like to track the camera for the first 5-10 seconds so I can put in 3D text to move through. I can do this, but the problem comes when I want to use only the first 5 seconds. Do I extract the work area? I did this originally but I do not know if I can bring the rest of the clip back after Im done putting in the 3D text.

 

The next thing I wanted to do is learn how to overlay another clip that is downsized into the bottom corner for part of the clip that comes up after the text is cleared. Could anyone help me out with this? It would help me out a LOT if I could figure out the workflow for this.

 

Also after I'm done with this clip how do I do the rendering and then export phase??

 

Thanks!

How to replicate an image through adobe after effects?

Hello

 

I'm making a motion graphic animation about the function of the eye as part of my school project. I only have 2 months experienced with it, I know some basic stuff but I still struggle to use adobe after effect at some point. I'm stuck on the first step trying to replicate this diagram of an image:

 

http://hoeftvision.weebly.com/uploads/5/4/5/6/54566863/9041525_orig.jpeg

 

I want to replicate it shape by shape but struggling the eye parts in front of the lens especially making the iris and conjunctiva part. Here is what I've manage to replicate so far: I know it's not good but it's the best I could do in an hours time

 

Human Eye Pic.JPG

Unless if there is a quicker way to replicate the whole lintier image I need help on creating the bump shape like in front of the lens. For example, "aqueous humour" has a shape of a circle but cut in halve. It's hard to replicate that circle since we could only scale the whole circle but not one side of it at a time.

 

Also, I do not have adobe illustrator, and I'm new as well . So I would like to ask if you can keep the instructions simple and detailed? Thank you

Trial Version States 0 Days???

Ok, so before going ahead I downloaded the so called Trial version of Adobe Aftereffects only to find having downloaded it immediately states "0" Days and asks me to purchase!!!!!  WTF - the idea of the trial is to confirm its the right tool before we go ahead with full purchase - when your competitors offer free trials and to add salt to the wound you also have zero support rather throw potential clients to a Forum doesn't exactly present the right image.

 

Any ideas or have you restricted free trial to specific countries as example in which case should be stated.

I know that if you duplicate composition in Project window the containinf object will not be depending from original comp. But what about complex compositions that has nested 2, 3 compositions, how to duplicate the root comp, and make all the child comps separated from original?

After Effects CS6 OS X unable to allocate memory

I found topics about this issue only for AE CC and I need help with AE CS6... After some time of working in AE I get this type of error:

 

Unable to allocate 0.000 MB of memory. Either decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of this frame, or install more RAM. (12803 / paramdef name field). For more information, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_mem

Is there a fix for that for CS6 version?

I use MacBook Pro 15" late 2011 Intel HD Graphics 30005 and AMD Radeon HD 6490M with automatic graphics switching, 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor , 8GB RAM  working on the OS X 10.11.4

Free alternative to 3D in AE CS6?

So im a student working on some AE projects in class as a hobby. For one project i recorded me walking through a section of my school and tracked it with the 3D camera tracker. I want to create an effect like cubes or text are floating in the air, and I eventually did do that, however its all flat. No depth. I've seen Cinema4D lite, but that's CC not CS6. I've seen Element3D, but I don't have any money to spend on this and also its just a hobby, so theres no point.

Preventing a Mask From Animating

This should be pretty simple, but I'm having no luck.

 

I selected a layer with some text on and then created a mask over it making the text invisible.

 

Then when I want to animate the text and move it from behind the mask so it's now visible the mask moves with it. Is there any way to keep the mask in it's place and not move with the text.

 

I also tried creating a mask layer not attached to the text layer itself, but that wasn't working either. I couldn't get the mask to hide or reveal anything.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Ray

How do you get After Effects CC 2015 to manage to make a real time playback/preview?

i7-5960 cpu, gtx980ti, 64mb of 3000Mhz ram, SSD drive for mediacache, windows 10. It can't be hardware limitations...

 

Why can't After effects manage to make any real time playback so you can preview and edit nicely to music. Even just simple sequential tif runs (3d renders as sequential tifs) will not ever playback at real time, even just a few seconds worth cannot build and playback from ram. There's masses of ram available but AE just will not get above stuttering sound at 23/24 frames per second to reach a 25frame per second realtime playback rate. No matter how simple or complex the projects layers and effects.

A client of mine wants me to create a short animation of their logo.  They found a gif of something they like and I want to recreate it.  The only problem is that I don't really know where to start.  I've got the last part, where the letters are reviled, but the first part where the blobs fly in is what I don't know how to do.  Does anyone know how I can recreate this?

The title says it all. I want to enlarge one letter at a time in 3 words. I want the letters to enlarge to 100% each. I thought it was scale but I can't seem to get that to work. I'm new to this so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
