Strange issue animating rectangle path - wrong parameters changing

$

0

I'm trying to keyframe the path of a shape layer I created with the rectangle tool, but running into a strange bug.

 

I converted the rectangle to a Bezier Path, then keyframed the position of two of the points. However, instead of animating the position, the entire shape scales down between keyframes, then jumps to the new position when it reaches the second keyframe. Any ideas on what's going on here??

I was able to track a camera and place a tracked text in a clip successfully, however whenever I try and track another camera in a different clip or even in the same clip that I was able to do previously it will either freeze on "initializing camera"  or will crash the program outright.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

I've had AE for a few months now & had created a wiggle preset (w/ position and rotation). It's worked fine up until now. Now, Instead of the clip moving slightly from side to side, it seems to stretch out the entire clip. It's the same settings & comp setting but it's turning out completely different. Any idea why?

Hi there, this is my first post on this forum. I have a very important question, I hope there is a solution right here. My Adobe After Effects keep crash when I hit space button (previews), i don't know what's happen, but AE in my PC works like charm, no Previews and Render problem. Please help me, My creativity stopped because all of those bugs

 

I'm using HP Pavillion ab127tx laptop.

Uses Avast Premier Antivirus on Both (Laptop & PC)

 

In My Laptop, I've already tested the CS6, CC 2015.2, and CC 2017.0 version. But none of those software works well. It'll always show the same bugs, Preview and Render bugs. I've seen a lot of tutorial to fix the bugs on the internet (Google, Youtube, etc), but I think nobody has a bugs like my AE bugs. In my PC, I'm using AE CS6, and I don't even see the "AE has stopped working" dialog. I'm working with .MOV file that recorded with Nikon D3300. Video bitrate is 24Mbps. But I think that's not a problem, because I don't even see the error dialog on my AE CS6 in My PC. Is there a problem on Hardware ? or is there a problem in Windows 10 ? My AE settings (all version) has a default settings, I'm not change anything.

 

Please help me, I have to work with AE.

I'm waiting for your answer.

Sorry for my bad English, I'm still learning.

Preview is slow and choppy in AE 2017.2

Hi there,

 

I swear AE didn't used to do this, but now my previews on the timeline are really slow and make the audio playback very choppy even with fast preview etc...

 

I've got the following

 

Intel Xeon E5-2630 v2 (Six Core HT, 2.6Ghz Turbo 15Mb)

32GB RAM

Nvidia Titan Black

Windows 10 64bit

 

So basically if I purge my work area then it looks like this...

 

http://i.imgur.com/SEjsJKd.png

 

(ie no green line)

 

straight after I did that screenshot it (for some reason) used RAM (ie the green line appeared slightly after the work area)

 

http://i.imgur.com/GVkSy7g.png

 

then when I actually previewed the work area (Shift 0) it added green before and after the work area when in my Preview settings I specifically chose "Work Area" for the range).

and

am I going insane or just missing something?

 

Thanks in advance.

File permissions for project files set to 'No Access' for Everyone group in CC 2017 (14.2)

$

I have noticed that when saving projects using AE 2017 (14.2.0.198) and OS X 10.11.6, the project file permissions get set to -rw-rw----, so only my current user and anybody in the 'staff' group have read/write permissions, while anybody else gets no access.

 

In AE CC 2015.3, the default file permissions are set to -rw-rw-rw-. In Photoshop CC 2017.1, the default file permissions are set to -rw-r--r--@. This is also the same permissions that OS X's TextEdit application uses. AE CC 2014.2 has the same minus the @ symbol (so no extended attributes).

 

I am currently signed in as an Administrator user. The fact that default permissions have changed between versions isn't that big a deal, but the current permissions actually do matter to me - I need network users to access these project files, and currently I have to save my project and manually change permissions afterwards in order for that to work.

 

A bug report has already been filed since I didn't know how else to frame it. Does anybody know if default permissions can be edited, or if there is a workaround for this issue?

HOW TO change the background and Colors of Elements in an AE TEMPLATE

$

Hey there everyone, I am simply wanting to alter an after effects template but am in No way A professional VFX artist. I know My way around AE a little bit but perhaps not enough to change these seemingly small things. I want to Make my Gold and White elements Silver and Gold such as in the example in the second picture down. I photoshopped it to get the idea across but Not sure how its done in After effects. Also I am wanting to alter the background or switch it out and Seemingly cant do that Very easily either. Is there something I am missing altogether in the file? Any help would be great, thank you!!!

filming 25fps or 50fps then using timewarp

$

Hello

 

I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on filming at 25fps then using slow motion instead of filming at 50fps and then slowing it down. Timewarp uses pixel motion blending, or whatever it's called, so i feel the slow mo is still quite smooth and i don't loose as much resolution as i would if i would be filming at 50fps, but i'm still not sure if it produces the best results!

 

I'm shooting with a Canon EOS REBEL 550D/T2i. When you optimize filming conditions, 720p instead of 1080p doesn't have to look that much worse either so I'm lost.

 

I'm filming a music video and i don't have a stabilizer so I will be working with slow motion and the warp stabilizer to smoothen my handheld footage.

Make someone look like they're underwater

Howdy,

 

I got some cool footage that I'm supposed to make look like someone is underwater. I've done a test with the Psunami plugin, but I'm trying to find more tutorials to make it look even better. I'm gonna add some particulate in the shot to give it more weight, but I'd also like to add things like bubbles when she goes down. I'd also need some coming from her straight to camera (I'll include to screen grabs to help make sense).

 

Any advice would be appreciate.

16Gig Ram VS 32 Gig Ram

Hello Everyone.

I am buying this computer as Follow:

XPS Tower Special Edition | Dell United States

Also, I am upgrading the Graphic card to:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 with 8GB GDDRX Graphic Memory.

I work with After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Modo. My friend told me if I am running each program separately , going from 16 Gig to 32 Gig of Ram, is not going to make that much different. Is that true?

Thanks.
