AEGP Plugin CINEWARE SceneLayer: CINERENDER - Connection failure (5027 :: 12)

Working in AE CC2014.1 and C4D lite.  I have a project with a few .c4d files in it.  I'm working on this project at my work computer, and I then bring it home in the evenings and work on it on my own computer (both mac pros).  At work it's fine, at home I have problems. 

 

I get the error "AEGP Plugin CINEWARE SceneLayer: CINERENDER - Connection failure (5027 :: 12)" when I launch AE, and I think it does this for every .c4d file I have in this project.  I can see the file just fine in C4D lite, and in after effects I see a black screen in the comp window.  However I can see the thumbnail of the c4d file in the project window when I have the c4d file selected.  The layer is active in the comp's timeline as well.  Not sure what to do about this.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

Hi all,

 

If I make in Illustrator an Ai-file and import this file in After Effects and select 'Create Shapes from Vector' I get on each path the artboards of the Ai. This is very very very annoying.

Please help me out!

Strange problem with audio (link inside)

Hello Community, please help me!

 

So I started this project where I film everything I do in the year 2014 and stuff.

Well, this week I began with doing the work in AE, so far so good.

I'm not finished yet, but I just wanted to try to render and upload it, for testing reasons. (with bad quality though) here's the link: https://vimeo.com/113597439

So... apparently there's every 11 seconds this clacking sound, I don't know how to get rid of it, it looks like it's a problem I have with AE rendering, because I tried to screencapture it and then convert it with the same software as I did with the AE outcome, it was fine. (but I obviously can't get a HD outcome by screencapturing my RAM-Preview). So it's not my converting tool!

And I don't know what it is and additionally, the sound is getting delayed, I'm not sure if it's because of the same reason the clacking sound is, because in my RAM-Preview everything is perfectly fine.

I'm using lossless with Audio checked on.

 

I would be super thankful if anybody could help!

Thanks in advance.

Opening door masking After Effects

I open a door, and inside I want to put an image. When opening the door I want the image inside to reveal as I open the door. But I can't figure out the masking and layers in After Effects. Can't find any tutorials that'll fit on Youtube. I want the mask to follow the edge of the door, so the image inside slowly reveals. But I don't know how to put the mask. No matter how I do it, the mask turns out black. I started doing this in FCPX. The image inside is keyed(blue screen), so there's only a tiny person inside. I have now two clips. One where I open the door without anyone inside, and the same clip with the person inside.

Can anyone help me?

 

Any suggestions?

keyboard shortcuts do not change the mouse pointer unless you move it

Hi guys...

 

I have just updated my After Effects (V13.1.0.111), and now whenever I hover over the main video window, and hit a keyboard shortcut to change to a new tool, the mouse pointer doesn't change.  It only changes once you move the mouse.

 

This is particularly frustrating when using the camera tools.  So when cycling through the 'move', 'rotation' and 'orientation' tools by pressing C, you can't see which tool is active unless you continually move the mouse.

 

Anyone else having this issue?

 

Cheers

Hi! i'm doing particles with Particular, i got my animation complete and everything is working fine, but now i need to make those particles (made with Particular) to form a text (actually not only a text, i need two texts, but they are only one single PNG image with alpha... 

Is there any solution to this so i can make the last particles in my animation turn into the image i need? or any other option or effect?

After Effects CC 2014 - removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters - WHY !?

While reading the features of AfterEffects CC2014, I noticed the following:

"removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters from After Effects"

THAT IS IS REDICULOUS!!

NO FLV !?!?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT USERS TO IMPORT INTO FLASH ??
IF no FLV export is available under After Effects CC 2014, there is NO WAY to EMBED an flv into flash !! (Linking is NOT always what is wanted!!)


NO H264 !?!?!
HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY ?!!?!?

 

YOU BREAK WORKFLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT IS REDICULOUS!!!


Any chance of restoring such features so that it makes updating to it worthwhile ?

Macbook pro retina 15 inch running Yosemite extremely slow previews/rendering

Hello,

So I got the newest version of Macbook pro retina 15 inch (mid-2014) basic model with 16GB of RAM, updated the OS to Yosemite, got Adobe CC on board, was happy for a second until I tried to edit stuff in After Effects. Preview plays at 13 fps at best when rendering something basic as a shape going from one point to the other. If you add footage it is 7fps or something. Already tried some options that were suggested on other threads like disabling App Nap but so far nothing helped. Please help me out, I'm really getting frustrated because of this.

 

Also, it takes ages to render final comp form Premiere Pro as well.

Importing complex Illustratof files (begginers question)

November 30, 2014, 2:33 am

Hello,

 

I am new to AE and I have an animation to make. I prepared standard file in Illustrator:

Illustrator screen.jpg

It has two layers with looots of shapes in them. When i try to import it to AE, it looks like that:

AE imported at default settings.jpg

So, one big picture, no shapes, no possibility to move.

In all the tutorials I found they give as examples small files with few shapes in them, few layers. i tried "release to layers" command, but all I got was 150 layers that seem impossible to edit at once in AE:

AE imported as layers screen.jpg

Is there a way to import such complex file (as in picture 1), maintaining all features of the layers? How to make each page from Illustrator to work as a part of sequence, put in order?

I can guess these are pretty basic things I am asking, but I'm really short on time and can't find way around this problem.

Thank you,

Kat

After Effects CC 2014 problem: Image from frame from the last Premiere CC-After Effects link permanently burned into new project compositions.

December 4, 2014, 3:18 pm

One frame from one of the clips I sent from Premiere to After Effects through "replace with After Effects composition" was permanently burned in After Effects and now it appears in every new composition of every new project I create as the background of such composition. 

For example, I sent from Premiere a clip of a building to After Effects for color correction with Finesse, and warp stabilization and then after rendering, finishing, and closing all the applications, now, every time I open After Effects for any other project, whether already-created or brand-new, every existing or newly created composition (in a Mac Command N) you see the image of the building as the background of the composition.  If you create a new composition, while it remains empty of any layers, you see the image of the building.  If you have an already-created composition with layers, when you turn off all the eyes of the layers, you would expect to see black (nothing) in the composition window (if that's the color you assigned to be as the background of the comp), but instead you see the building.  If you change the color of the comp's background in Composition Settings, you still see the building as the background.  If you render such empty composition (no layers) you render out the image of the building, not black.  I tried clicking everywhere and going through the preferences, and even uninstalling the application and re-installing it, but it seems to be permanently burned in into every comp's background.

Please, any ideas of what's going on and how to get rid of it?

Thanks so much for your help,

RR.

Detail-Preserving Upscale Effect

Hi all:

 

This was the effect I have been waiting for - as I am working on a Lacrosse highlight video - and some of the footage was not zoomed in when it was shot (AVCD 1440x1080 29.97 fps).

 

I have tried the new effect on a clip, and cannot get a much better outcome than when I just scaled the clip up in PPro.  Just trying to have clear footage without halos/ringing effect...

 

I have watched the short video about the effect - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-at-ibc-2013/after-effects-cc-detailpreserving-upscale/

 

And also read this short help piece on the effect - http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/detail-preserving-upscale-effect.html

 

Neither of which have really addressed upscaling/zooming in on video - and which adjustments to the effect will give the desired result.

 

Is there anything else out there yet for me to read/watch? Does anyone have any pointers for me?

 

Thanks for any help you can provide - as always

Kim

Rendered frames have incorrect date/time on my new machine, despite other files and system time/date being correct

On my new machine, the rendered frames have the wrong date (seems almost like the wrong timezone, since it is only a day or a few hours behind).  The system time, date and timezone are all correct, and it seems all other files are fine.  It's just the renders coming from AE.

 

Any theories, or things I could look into?

These Clips dont have such problem when we import them into Adobe After Effects CS6.

 

Please Adobe, we need a fast solution. this is urgent.

 

Note that we tried to download the last version of AVIDCodecLE package with no result!

Downloading Cinema4D Lite

Just that, I was wondering where I am to download the Cinema4D Lite installer, the Maxon website is convoluted and says RENDER IN AFTER EFFECTS.. Well, yes, that's why I am looking for it, rendering in After Effects sounds easier than rendering in 3DS Max then jumping to After Effects, but unfortunately, it seems that this is exactly what I might end up having to do, seeing as Maxon's website is completely incompetent at giving real information other than that it is "free with After Effects" and that it can do renders in AE. So far, Creative Cloud told me nothing, no C4D download in there, there was no download link on Maxon's website, so that leaves me wondering.. What the hell am I supposed to do now? Guess I'll get back to 3DS Max, since the information is completely vague at best on Adobe and Maxon's part.
