I've been trying to figure this one out for some time now.
Under previous versions of AE, we could manually set an import duration on a .psd comp.
Now in CS5, this is option not even showing up!
When I try importing the .psd containing smart objects, it automatically sets these at 2 frames.
Try extending a layer duration to 30 seconds... it's impossible because it reaches the 9900 constraint at 6 seconds.
Anyone as found a solution for this in CS5?

Hello everyone,
I've been having a constant problems with After Effects CS 6 on Mac high Sierra.
1. I get this funny looking image across my After Effects Icon. Mind you all my other CS 6 programs work fine.
2. After clicking the After Effects Icon I get this happy little message.
3. With tremendous tenacity, I try and find an answer online. I find an answer that states I need to update my After Effects to 11.4. So I download the update needed and then I get this adorable message.
Now, I have reinstalled CS 6 multiple times, fixed the Adobe Download Manager and still i can't get After Effects CS 6 to work. If you have any ideas that could solve this problem I would be truly thankful for your support.
Thank You
Alright, so, this is my very first time using After Effects, and I have little knowledge using any of the Adobe software I have just purchased, so I have pretty much no idea what anything means here. I was ready to start learning how to make things in After Effects but... something wasn't right. While in every tutorial I looked at, the video would show in the preview area after it was put into the timeline, or at the very least, a black box was shown, I would only see either the two options for "New Composition" or "New Composition from Footage," which I could not click on, or, if I was lucky, a gray screen. When I press play for the preview, I can hear the audio for the footage, but the video is still not there. I really don't know much at all about what a lot of the options mean, but I have been trying everything that I have seen suggested to others who have had similar problems, so it is very possible that I have made things worse, unfortunately.
Now, one thing that I do know is that this seems very similar to an issue I had with Photoshop where I could not see the image I was trying to edit and, once again, I only saw a gray screen. I don't really remember how I fixed the issue, as I was just so relieved to have it working that I didn't think much of it, and honestly I didn't understand what it meant, but I am pretty sure it had to do with me turning off the "Use Graphics Processor" setting, if that would make sense. I tried to use this to come up with something, but nothing that seems similar has worked.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me solve this, and I would appreciate it even more if someone could help me understand what this problem is in case something like this happens again in After Effects or a different software since it seems to be a reoccurring issue for me. I have included both a picture of when I have seen the previous screen overlapped where the video preview should be, and one where I can see only gray. I am looking forward to getting this all straightened out so I can start working on my projects. Thank you to anyone that helps.
I'm trying to create a wipe in AE to use in Premiere. I created 2 shapes which move thru the frame. I created a solid to act as the alpha channel, but I can't remember how to have that layer effect only the alpha and not show in the composite. Here is the desired RGB out:
Here is the object I'm trying to create the alpha with showing white:
I know I can output 2 separate videos, but I am sure I've done this before and combined them - i think.
Every time I click play on After Effects(Space bar or manually clicking play) After Effects goes in fullscreen, Let me know if you have a solution, thanks!!!
I have a few special FX I need to do, YouTube tutorials arnt doing much, I am just ready for some suggestions............I have a 0 Doller Budget, so I can't buy any stock footage or anything, but here is the list of what I need help with
* The Fire Turbo on the Riddlers car in this image
* A Smoke Bomb
* Coffee
* Batman's Cape to be on fire
* You know when an anime character says like KAMI HAMI HAAAAAA and throws some sort of fireball (Kinda like Image at bottom)(I don't watch anime btw)
I searched the forums for an answer and the only one I found was to put a black solid layer at the bottom of the Project. I have a 60 minute project in AE that previews fine - when I Render in AME, I can see the project as expected in the Preview window. But on two occasions - three - four hours each - the MOV file has rendered entirely black/blank. Any thoughts on this? I've used AME from AE numerous tips and have never had a problem.
I'm using AE CC 2017.2, but because of earlier problems I had with 2018 crashing. AME is also 2017.2
Thanks for any help.
Hi There
Does anyone know what the actual font style is that is used in the timecode effect?
Cheers
I have an image of a house with tile roofs, and I want to create an animation that will simulate the tile replacements.
I will create an image of a tile, and I want to animate it to fly onto the roof into place multiple times, instead of the existing tiles (the existing tiles are in a single AI layer and it's not possible to separate them).
Hope I'm clear
Any idea on how to do that?
Hello
I firs though it might be because i was using two different versions of PP and AE so I upgraded to the latest verisons for both PP and AE today. But still when I import the premier pro project the time line is blank. all the footage is showing but when i scroll over the clips they are blank.
I am quite inexperienced in AE so even basic tips might help here.
Thanks
I was watching a tutorial to create infographic with trim path , in the tutorial after applying trim path and when he press on start, after effects show down new line ( expression ) to link something with the control slider, when I am following the same steps my after effects didn't show expression
I am using Adobe CC 2018
please help !
Hi,
since yesterday my preview window in After Effects stays black, no matter which file or composition I try. Even when I start a new project and import a video, I don't have a preview. Tried everything, even deinstalled & installed again. Note: Since 2 weeks I (unfortunately) have Windows 10; this seems to cause problems and delays in AE and Premiere, but for some days it worked and I did have my preview.
--> And yes, the Caps Lock is off...
Thanks for helping!!
I just taped in a green screen studio. The studio supplied MXF files for the video. I imported into AE CS6 on Mac El Capitan with an Nvidia GTX 980 Ti board, applied Keyiight, and saw a clean background alpha. When rendering the footage over a background graphic, occasionally a single frame shows a rectangular green bar, an artifact of the green screen. I applied a duplicate Keylight to the video in the video keying comp, and most times the artifact disappears, but not always.
Anyone any idea of what the problem is? [And I'm not looking for Adobe to point the finger at The Foundry who points the finger at Apple who points the finger at Canon, who points the finger at Adobe, who points....]
Hi, I imported a green layer from Illustrator with the colours #009900 RGB 0,153,0
When I export the video file from After Effects using Media Encoder to a H.264 video file, the colour changes to #01a400 RGB 1,64,0
Could anyone please offer any insight why this is and a way of keeping the same colours?
Thanks
I've edited the audio of a video in an Audition multitrack session, and I've performed several cuts and stretch operations to parts of the audio.
Is it possible to somehow re-link the video to the audio, by that I mean applying the cuts and stretches to the video as well as the audio?
If not, are there any formats I could export the session in that could be editable in After Effects or Premiere Pro?
If not, are there any user created scripts that may be able to do this sort of thing?
Thanks for any responses!
Hi. I have problem using clone stamp tool in After Effects. I've reported it before, but I can not find a solution I m using Win10 HP Z440 and GTX 1080 TI graphic card. I'm using Intuos 3 PTZ 630. But this problem has been going on since AE 13. I changed 3 machines and so many versions. But it still continues. When I close the project when I use Clone stamp or Brush Paint, I get the same error many times.
I have been searching for a way to clone pixels form a layer to another layer (preferably an adjustment layer for my case) with out doing a duplication.
I have found that if you apply the "Channel Combiner" effect to the adjustment layer (or any other layer) and set the "Source Layer" option to the target layer that you want to clone, then change the "From" option to "Straight to Premultiplied" you get the desired result.
Now, as you can see, you have an instance of the pixels of the target layer to the destination layer "Instance" (in this case).
At this point I want to shift the time in "Instance" layer, so that, time is stretched or shifted from the destination layer (or pixels are duplicated from destination layer) to cover the frames before the cut maker.
I applied the 'Timewarp" effect but that didn't work the pixels turned into black as you can see below.
Then I tried to apply the "Time Stretch..." function from the layer menu however it didn't have any effect on the "Instance" layer.
At that point, I remembered that "Time Remapping" option and time effects works with the channels of the main layers and does not apply to empty layers (that does not have pixels or key frames like my layer).
This the equivalent of the result that I want to achieve with the "Instance" layer in the picture below.
So I'm wondering if there is an expression, a trick or a hack to achieve this result with after effects.
I hope that the images have clarified more the situation.
i.e: I change the "Instance" layer (adjustment layer) to a composition, solid or a null object.
I want to thank your for the time put to read this (long) thread, and for the other time that you will put if you are going to use your experience and your valuable knowledge to think with me for a solution.
Looking to see if the latest AE 2018 has any form of usable multi processing back in it? We have some new machines and its insane how slow renders are compared to older rigs running 2014 with multi processing.
Has anyone seen performance improvements on modern multicore multi GPU rigs? I don't like when AE only uses 6% of my CPU and only one out of 4 GPU's.
Would it be possible to use AA to be used to ***** the amount of coordination or synchrony between two people walking?
We are new to AA and will be running an experiment where we want to measure synchrony between two people walking in a straight line side by side.
Assuming of course we had a high enough quality camera, set up appropriately and adequate distinct markers set up on peoples shoes/ankles, and the ground, would it be possible?
We would want to not only track the location of the co-walkers feet across the frames, but compute a measure of relative phase between peoples feet at various time points. Is there anyway for AA to output the kind of data we would need, without us having to take measurements ourselves frame by frame.
