Hi there,

 

Since my colleagues and I have updated to CC 2019, our AE project (that contains text) imported in Premiere is broken. Not completely, we can still edit the text but Premiere changes the font. Anybody as the same issue ?

 

Thanks y'all,

Team Project bug - Linked items replaced with recovered

$

Hello all!

While working in a team project, me and my colleague suddenly got this error:

"After Effects warning: can not find source item for layer ID=57397; will replace with a placeholder. ( 26::143 )"

AE_Warning.png

All of our linked files, both separate .ai files and library objects, suddenly became placeholder "recovered" files.

 

We solved this by going back to an earlier copy of our project, but still couldn't figure out why this bug occurred. We didn't move any of our linked objects or the ae file itself.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem or know why it happens?

Unable to download trial

I tried to get adobe after effects but I wanted to do the free trial. So I do all the steps and I get to the point where it says "We'll email you a link so you can easily download After Effects CC on your desktop" I pressed "send me the link". I get the email and open the link, but it sends me right back to the page that says "We'll email you a link so you can easily download After Effects CC on your desktop". Why does it keep doing that.

Double Clicking a comp in the timeline doesn't work...

Just this morning when I tried to double-click a comp in my timeline to open it (like I have a hundred times before) it doesn't open it. Instead it brings it into the window like it was footage.

However, If I right-click and goto "Open Comp" it works fine, it just takes far longer.

 

Any idea how to change it back?

I can't open a comp in AE 2018!!!

Hello This is a very annoying issue since I've updated AE to 2018 , when I double click a comp in the project window it doesn't open... As far as I am concerned there is no other way of p=opening a comp so I'm pretty stuck.

 

I am using Mac. My colleagues with Windows don't seem to have this issue even though they have also updated to AE 2018...

 

Am running El Captan 10.11.6

 

Graphics card:

 

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 4095 MB

 

Ram : 16 GB

 

I look forward to a solution to this problem

3D Camera Tracker: unable to acquire rendered frame

$
0
0

I can't stabilize any 360 footage using the 3D Camera Tracker from VR Comp Editor. 95% of the time, I run the analysis to create the camera for stabilization, it fails with the incredibly non-descriptive and undocumented error message "unable to acquire rendered frame." The error appears for videos of any length and any resolution. It also appears at various progress stages of the process and even within the same file (it can be at 5%, or at 55%, or at 98% completion).

 

At this point, I've exhausted any possible solution I could find:

  • Reduced the Comp width down to 260 pixels and aspect ratio to 1:1: it speeds up processing but doesn't guarantee success even with a 6-second video
  • Converted the video to sequences of JPEGs and PNGs: the success rate is slightly higher (the process is likely to complete than not) but this slows down the process exponentially (a 20-second video takes 5+ minutes to get converted into images then takes longer to analyze and re-encoded)
  • Played with every combination of settings when creating the 3D Edit
  • Disabled the antivirus (Windows Defender)
  • Turned off all cloud syncing and took the computer offline
  • Moved the source files to an M.2 SSD from RAID0 (2x7200rpm WD Black drives)
  • Moved disk cache to the M.2 SSD
  • Increased paging file size to 16GB
  • Tried changing from CUDA to OpenCL and back

 

The source camera is Nikon KeyMission 360. The videos are stitched in-camera and exported as equirectangular 2:1. Tested video resolution was 3840×1920 and 3840×2160.

 

Computer specs: Dell XPS 8930, i7-8700, 32GB RAM @ 2667MHz, GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, AE 16.0.0 build 235 with 429 plugins.

 

Every single tutorial talks about how easy this feature is and has no tips for troubleshooting. I'm hoping an actual Adobe (or Mettle) developer chimes in on this.

Keyboard shortcut for altered effects settings

$
0
0

I might remember wrong, but believe I saw a lesson showing a keyboard shortcut that displays only the changed settings of an effect.  Meaning if you add the lumetri effect to a layer and change the vibrance under the correction section in the effects panel, the keyboard shortcut will only show the vibrance setting after you used the keyboard shortcut, and none of other settings of the effect will appear.

 

It might only do so in the layer panel and not the effects panel, I can't remember.

 

Anyone know what it might be, or am I imagining this...?


Need Constant Tracking Scale

$

I'm tracking an object with Mocha. It is footage from a stationary camera, a set distance from the object. The object only rotates and translates. Seems I have no choice but to track scale tho.

 

Anyway, that object sometimes is partially obstructed, but I was successful in doing a track. However, back in AE, the tracked object changes size. I want the size to be constant, what it is in frame 1. Trying to play with key frames with no success.

 

How can I set the tracked object size constant?

 

Thanks.

Mocha AE 2019 can‘t apply tracking data to another layer

Hi folks,

I am desperate! I have a fairly simple scene: Cam travels at conference table, black monitor in the back and I want to apply content on it.

I track it, all fine. I leave mocha and select the content layer as destination and select corner pin as export data. Then I select Layer 1 for creating trackdata. It creates trackdata. Fine. Then I choose my previously selected Contentlayer for „apply export“.

Mocha now creates a corner pin effect WITHOUT transferring ANY track data!! Yes, I used the old Mocha often, yes, I consider myself an experienced AE user (started with AE1.0)

Am I getting old, did I miss something? PLEASE HELP. I need this project to be finished!

Artifacts when Use Dynamic Link from Premiere to After Effects

$

Hi -

 

I recently filmed myself with Panasonic GH4 using softboxes for lighting in home studio.

Footage was 4K which I scaled down for regular hi def video.

 

If I render out from Premiere Pro with Adobe Media Encoder, things look fine (see first sample image   )

If I use Dynamic Link to bring the footage into After Effects, however (so I could key out the backdrop and incorporate the footage into a larger video project, I get artifacts on my suit jacket).  This occurs as soon as footage enters After Effects; it's not a result of applying Keylight or any other effect.

 

(Note - upon opening new Premiere Pro projects, I get a warning "A Low level exception occurred in lvcod64.dll (GetAVICodecs)" - not sure if that's related or how to fix.)

AE 16.0 Win Crash with Video Copilot Optical Flares

$

Through our Crash Reporter system, the AE team is tracking a crash in AE 16.0 (Adobe After Effects CC 2019) on Windows occurring in the Video Copilot Optical Flares plug-in. The crash seems to happen both when converting older AE projects to AE 16.0, and when applying the plug-in directly in a new AE 16.0 project.

 

We are working with the Video Copilot team to determine a cause, but have not yet been able to successfully reproduce it ourselves. One possible cause could that it's happening in an outdated version of the plugin.

 

If you are experiencing this crash, go to: VIDEO COPILOT | After Effects Tutorials, Plug-ins and Stock Footage for Post Production Professionals  and update to the current version.

 

Please let us know if this does or does not resolve the crash.

 

Thx!

AE Crash in wdmaud.drv

If you are seeing this posting, you may have encountered a crash in After Effects 16.0 (CC 2019) that we are actively investigating. We are hoping you could provide us with additional information to help us to fix it.

 

It appears to perhaps be related to an audio driver or audio components installed on your system.

 

What specific sound card and driver versions do you have installed?

 

Can you verify that you have the most current drivers for it installed? If not, could you attempt to update your drivers and see if that resolves the crashing situation?

 

If that makes no difference, could you perhaps attempt to disable the audio device temporarily and see if that resolves the crashing issue.

 

The other piece we can see with this crash is that all instances are occurring on Windows 10 Build Version 17134. If Windows update is available for you to move to a newer version of Windows 10, that might also possibly resolve this crashing situation.

 

Any details you can provide will be greatly appreciated, and will very much help us to understand and resolve this issue.

 

Thx!

Why is Cineware not exporting camera data from AE to C4D Lite?

$

0

(To preface, I've searched forums, Adobe help, and followed many tutorials.)

 

I have a live shot that I have 3D Camera Tracked using the built in AE plugin. I select 'Create new Camera and Solid'. AE creates a new 3d tracked camera and a solid. I save my comp. I go to 'File-Export-Maxon C4D', and create a new .c4d file. I import that file to AE, and put it in my comp. I go to 'Edit--Edit Original...'. C4D Lite opens up. I can see a new null, with a plane and camera inside. Everything looks great, but the camera has no animation on it. Upon closer inspection, I realize that none of the keyframes from my AE camera have been exported to my C4D camera.

 

I've tried exporting a new camera to C4D in as many ways as I can think of. The other strange thing was that the 'Merge Camera' button in the Cineware plugin in AE is grayed out, no matter how many new cameras I make. I've even made my own cameras and animated them without using the 3d Tracker plugin and it never exports correctly. I've also tried reinstalling C4D Lite. Thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance!

Objects move when I add a null object or DUIK controller

$
0
0

Bit of a vague question but I'm hoping this might be a quick answer for some.

 

I have a character animation rig made up of photoshop layers. I have the body part layers parented with anchor points at the joints, and use DUIK inverse kinematics to create joint movement/flexing/walking. The DUIK script puts expressions on the position and rotation properties.

 

So I have my full rig created and my puppet walking across the screen. But I'm experiencing an issue where, when I add a Null object, or a Duik Controller, upon creation of that object, it slightly shifts my rig somehow. It's as if I took the master controller and shifted it over a few pixels. This appears to be happening regardless of which layer I have selected when I click to create the null object.

 

Super vague I know but does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Or what to check?

 

Thanks

Adobe After Effects CC 2019 Puppet Tool: Unspecified Drawing Error

I have a big problem for when I use the Puppet Pin Tool in After Effects.  Whenever I try to click on something, this error occurs:Error.png

I am still able to see the pins afterward shown here:

Error 2.png

Is there a solution to this?  These errors show up a lot and even cause an endless amount of them to appear sometimes.  I think it has something to do with the red circle animations that pop up when something is pinned, though I am not sure how to access that.  I am in a time crunch for I have an assignment due tonight.  Thank you!

Can't see keyframes at all (CC 2017)

Hi all,

 

I recently updated AE on my mac, and on making a new project, I can't see any keyframes in the timeline whatsoever.  I can drag them around and navigate between them as if they are still there, and they have the expected effects, they are just competely invisible.  I did a totally fresh install on a Windows machine as well, same issue.

 

I've used AE pretty extensively before, so I don't think I'm making an obvious error, but who knows.  I can't find any other topics on the matter on multiple forums, so I'm starting to lose my mind.  Any help would be very appreciated.  Thanks!
