Hi.
I tracked motion of an object in a video footage, applied tracking data (Position only) to a Null and then pick-whipped Liquify's Distortion Mesh Offset to the Null's Position and as soon as I did it, all visible Liquify effects disappeared from the footage. I would like the Liquify to stick to the tracked object. How could I do this?
I'm using version 14.0.1.5
Thanks
Hi Everyone,
I am using a laptop with a 1366 x 768 resolution but use an external display, but cannot install After Effects because it says my laptop screen resolution is too low? Do I have to connect the external display and then try to download?
Thank you.
So I'm trying to create a sort of rocket blast that distorts the background behind it like a heat wave, but the particle blast, rendered separately from the physical rocket and background, needs to be blurred first before it can act as a mask for the effect. Can anyone help with this. Bear in mind that I am COMPLETELY new to the software. This is literally my first project ever using it, so I would very much appreciate if any answers were thorough and well-explained step-by-step. Thank you.
Hi
I would like to make a 4K video composition (4096x2304) at 60fps , h264 don't allow to do this. So I need h265.
Thanks
Hi, I have a problem with an old project I created with CC 2015, where I need to do some changes. When opening it with CC 2017 AE converts the file, but all the video footage doesn't line up with my keyframes and animations any more. It seems that the video layers are not just shifted, but the speed of the video is different. I installed 2015 again and there everything looks normal. Yes, I just could use 2015, since the changes are not so many, but I wondered if there is a way to fix this in 2017. Sadly I can't share any material here, because of the client confidentiality.
I got a project and when I try import MP3, it doesn't let me? it says "after effects error, can't import file ..... unsupported file type / extension.
I've done this before but its only just a problem
I am trying to stabilise some interview footage, with an interviewee sat in a chair. I'm going through erasing the track points on the interviewee every 10 frames or so.
The results are good except in one corner of the shot, the wall moves. There's no automatic track points in this corner.
Is it possible to add track points to this corner?
Hello,
Every time I render a video out and then attempt to upload to instagram through drop box, the audio quality seems as if it worsens and doesn't sound very good after I upload to instagram. I'm using H.264 and AAC as my export options, I have tried using wav and or mp3 files for the audio in the project but I still get the same results and I have also tried various audio settings such as acc, mp4, uncompressed, etc. and still get poor audio quality. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
While doing a Lynda.com tutorial on After Effects 2015, Lesons :Introduction to 3D, while playing the preview I got the following error.
I have the following system setup: AMD FX-4170 CPU 4.2Ghz; 120Gb SSD Drive, 2 TB HDD internal, 2 TB HDD External (seagate) and 2.5TB HDD External. 16 Gb 1600 DDR 3 RAM, Nvidia GTX 760 2GB GPU, LG 23EN43, AOC 2352 and LG E2350 Monitors.
I have contacted Lynda.com about this issue and they have stated that there should be enough memory to rasterize the above mentioned file and suggested it an issue with Illustrator.
Is 16 Gb enough memory to run after effects and rasterise the file size of 291 Kb.
Below is a picture of the full project
Can anyone please advise how to overcome this issue.
hi all - have a really frustrating problem with 3rd party script ui panels in adobe after effects.
I have bought a dell xps15 laptop last month and this is my only complaint. I'm an animator and frequently use 3rd party scripts (Duik, rubberhose, motion2, rift etc) these are absolutely essential to my workflow with character animation, with no sensible alternative to duik out there, paid or otherwise. All the scripts seem to work fine except for drop down menus. on ONLY 3rd party scripts, the ui dropdowns are cut short and clipped somehow, making items unselectable as your cursor cant reach them (see screengrabs)
I've noticed that this dropdown problem only happens with docked scripts, and normal native after effects dropdowns are unaffected (see screenshot)
I really need to know if this is something i can fix, as this makes my laptop unusable for a vast amount of my work which is obviously pretty ridiculous.
not sure if this is a windows 10 or an adobe problem or both - any ideas?
THINGS IVE TRIED WITH NO SUCCESS:
- switching on/off gpu acceleration
- testing ui panels docked and undocked
- reinstalling scripts
- changing font/window size in windows 10
- adding/decreasing amount of assigned memory to ae
- testing scripts on AE 2014, 2015.3 and 2017
- shouting
- swearing
- crying
I've put my system specs in the screenshot below and can supply any other info needed - even better, if you own a dell xps15 with the 4k screen, PLEASE SEE IF YOU CAN REPLICATE THIS PROBLEM - would be amazing to know if this is just my system or is being replicated!
thanks in advance guys!!!
Bonjour,
Je suis sous Mac avec 8 go de RAM mais lorsque j'utilise créative cloud et principalement After Effects , ma rame diminue à vitesse grand V .
Je cherche donc à savoir si certaines manipulations et ou configurations me permettrait d'éviter cette surconsommation de RAM notamment lors des prévisualisations . J'utilise la version en anglais .
Merci d'avance .
Hi,
If I replace footage that has a puppet pin in it, will it automatically copy all that/ keep it the same [footage really similar, just a smoother cut-out of same image]
thanks!

Hello all,
I wanted to pick the public's brain and ask how to make these looping gifs. It is kind of hard for me to explain the animation within the gif, so there are examples below. Also, this link is another example of a similar style. Morgan on Instagram: “Awakening. #WhatIsMorgan”
What would be the best way to go about making this type of looping animations? I've gotten close, but I can't get the morphing effect to more in specific directions.
Hi all!
I've been having some issues with vector files lately and this is the latest one. When I click on a particular imported .EPS file this error pops up. The file is visible and it only appears if I click on it in the project bin or timeline. When I click "ok" i can keep working, but every time I click it it reappears. I saved it as a .AI as well and it still occurs.
After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {effect param_index out of range ([1...num_streams-1])} (5027 :: 150)
I'm on a Mac:
Late 2013 27 inch iMac
El Capitan 10.9.5
3.4 GHz i5
NVIDIA 78M Card
After Effects CC 2014 v 13.2.0.49
I've opened the same file on two other similar (but not identical) iMacs and it's worked fine. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
The video speed is normal when I'm editing the project but once I render it, the speed is almost triple. How can I render the video so its at normal speed?
I ran in to this weird problem today. After importing a premiere project directly into after effects, I found that one of my pieces of footage had a strange glitch. My first step was to look to see if there were any key frames or expressions and there weren't any. Next I tried reopening to AE project and that did nothing. I then totally closed AE and reopened and still no luck. Finally I decided to re-import the file and Boom! the problem was fixed. I had never run into this before to today and it had me confused for quite a while. Here is a video of the glitch. hopefully this helps if you run into the same problem.
When you import a template, it says <The template is only for After Effects version 12.0 or later>. I am using the trial version of the After Effects now. Please tell me how to upgrade and how to fix this problem.
Ich habe mir am 16.01.17 die 30 Tage Testversion installiert, wollte sie heute 23.01.17 nutzen, jedoch sagt er mir das die besagten 30 Tage abgelaufen sind und ich mir doch die Vollversion kaufen soll. Kann ich dieses Problem irgendwie beheben? Wäre schade wen ich dieses Produkt nicht testen könnte Aufgrund eines Fehlers.
Ich hoffe mir kann jemand helfen.
Mfg Jerome
I am trying to make 3d text have shadows. When I point the light to the text, it doesn't cast anything, even with cast shadows switched on. If anyone else knows how to fix this, please let me know what I'm doing wrong??!
Thanks
I wondered if anyone else has seen this bug. I just reported it.
It might be a good idea to turn off Sync preferences before you try this. Here's what you do:
Open Preferences>Appearance and set the UI brightness all the way to lighter. Click OK and the UI is now set to the lightest setting. Now open Preferences>Appearance again and move the UI Brightness all the way to darker or press the Reset button. The UI changes back to darker. Click OK and the UI returns to the lightest setting. Open up Preferences>Appearance again and the slider is all the way to the left and pinned on Darker but the UI is still light. Touch the slider and the UI changes as it should but the changes will not stick. The only way I have found to get the UI back to my preferred darker setting is to delete the preferences file. This is easiest do to by holding down all of the keys on the right side of the keyboard (Shift + Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd) while you open AE and saying yes to the popup. This is a bit of a pain because I have created a bunch of custom settings for Output Module and Render Settings that all have to be redone. Unfortunately I had sync turned on so it fouled up all of the machines I work on before I realized what had happened.
Please let me know if you have seen this bug and report it to Adobe if you have.
