Animation with a phone book scrolling on cellphone screen.

$

0

Hello,

 

I'm new to AE, though I've seen some tutorials, and I'm creating a 2D animation in with some drawings I created in Illustrator.

 

 

The shot I'm working on shows the screen of a cellphone. I want two drawings (pictures) to be slided from right to left with the thumb.

Then I want the alphabetic phone book to scroll upwards.

 

I've got the cellphone (which is leaning), the phone book and the two drawings which are supposed to be pictures.

 

How should I address it (for dummies, please).

 

Thanks

As you can see in the picture above my .aex icons are not correct. On another user on this computer, the icons show up fine. My After Effects CC 2014 is up to date. It's running on windows 8.1.

 

I searched the boards for a solution, but it didn't appear anyone else had even asked the question. Hoping to find an answer! Not a pressing matter, just a peeve

 

Thanks in advance!

Cinema 4d Lite crashes in AE CC, Windows

Whenever I try to use Cinema 4d Lite, I can get to the application, but cannot make any changes without crashing. I have tried either creating a file using File>New>Maxon Cinema 4d file, or creating a 3d comp in AE, exporting to Cinema 4d Lite, importing it, and going to Edit>Edit original. For example, when I create a new Cinema 4d file, if I try to create a rectangle, I see the rectangle appear, but then the application is frozen (spinning teal circle forever). If I try to edit original file, the Cinema 4d application opens, but it is frozen.

 

I am on Windows 7 Professional, on an HP Z800 Workstation with 40 GB RAM, 64 bit Operating System. NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card.

Still image to motion video template?

I've been seeing a few commercials and even a few videos surface, one in particular, which seems to be a pencil illustration of a dog which then comes to life to the actual video image of the dog.  Does anyone know what I am referring to?  I don't know what they are called but I would love to do some of these for my own work and I don't know where to start or even how to for that matter. 

slider custom values

I want a slider to be operating in the range of 100 to 500 instead of the default of 0 to 100.

 

Is there an easy way to simply change the range a slider operates in, or does this require creating an expression that does this as maths?

"Fill" either side of a line... possible?

Please see the image here, made in Illustrator by faking it, but I'm wondering if it's possible to make this by setting a line as the point at which fills reach, without making closed shapes.

 

Or any other way to do this:

Auto-save doesn't stop!

$

Hello,

I'm on AE on adobe CC. While I'm stabilizing shots (using the warp stabilizer), the auto-save function always starts saving my project (during the background analyse), even though I've 1) disabled the auto-save in the preference or 2) put it on every 600 minutes! It forces me to crash the software, making my life unbearable :-)

I've never had that problem with CS6. Am I missing something? Is there another form of autosave? Or is it just that Adobe have lost it??

Thank you for helping,

Chris

The bars on the left of this image, when scaled as a group, give the result in the middle.

 

What sort of nesting arrangement of layers and groups is required to get the result on the right?

Ram Preview Issue with Yosemite

$

Hi, I have updated to OS X Yosemite, I am using AE 13.1.1.3, and now I am having an issue with RAM-Preview that makes working with AE problematic: When I start the Preview by hitting "0" on the Numpad the Ram Preview starts, but I am not able to stop it anymore until it has rendered to the end of the work area.

It is also strange that I am able to move keyframes while it renders.

The Shift-Ram Preview is also affected by this bug.

I appreciate the hardwork involved in updating the apps, but the light blue on grey isn't cuttin' it for my eyes.  Is there a way to change it?  I can't seem to find a setting in Prefs > Appearances.

AFTER EFFECTS CC 2014 SLOW RENDER AND SYSTEM LOCKUP

has anyone found a solution to the slow render thing?

my 2012 mac pro constantly locking up during renders.

camera lens blur seems to be a bit of a culprit but even with that off, rendering seems achingly slow.

"RAM preview needs 2 or more frames to render playback" AE CC

This issue started out of nowhere for what I consider to be no reason. Working on average sized 720p compositions with modest animations.

 

I have tried all suggested solutions on this forum yet nothing has worked. I am running fresh comps in AE CC with absolutely no plugins, freshly purged memory, cleaned cache, restarted comp, no other applications running on computer and 13 gb of memory allocated to AE... etc.

 

I cannot seem to fix this issue.

 

Whats the next step?

Creating growing arrows

Hi

 

I want to create a video with growing curved lines, growing in a similar way to the stalks of a plant, with a pointy end that is at the edge of the growing line.

 

Could somebody point me in the direction of which elements I'd need to put together for this.

 

I'm finding all these types of layers quite confusing.

 

Any advice appreciated
