Hi,

my problem is when i want to pre-render a video in my timeline this green line only draws until 10 sec but i want to see the whole video without this lagging. Can someone help me please?

Thanks for an answer.

I am currently working on finishing up a project and was using After Effects to create an vintage film burn type effect over some interview footage. I imported that AE sequence into Premiere and have been working with those for several days.

However, as I was making my final few corrections today in Premiere, the AE sequence that I had imported was offline. I tried to relink it to no avail. I then attempted to open the AE file to see what the issue was. At which time, it presented the 'AE warning: Reading Past End of File' and then 'Unable to read project settings. Color settings reset to factory defaults.'

This is obviously a huge issue which will put me far behind schedule if I can't figure out the issue causing this. I literally had been working in these project files not minutes before all this happened, so I don't have the slightest clue what could have caused this. Any help will be immensely appreciated! Let me know if you need my specs and I will be happy to provide them. Thanks!

I'm new to the whole After Effects community and I am currently using it for a project.

I followed a tutorial by Mt. Mograph on youtube and I downloaded the script "Ease and Wizz".

I have it as a panel and all, but every time I attempt to apply my desired expression, a popup box says that there is a script alert and it can't find the file for the expression.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong? I have tried to remove the script and download it again, but nothing has worked for me.

My spec :

The problem :

I have that problem about AE when i tried to export to AME.

From PP to AME it works perfecly, but when I try from AE to AME I get this message :

ALL programs are at latest version

Both program open, but AME doesn't bring the comp from AE to render queue.

thanks for your time

Hello,

I wanted to try mocha AE, bug when I do this: https://youtu.be/iBNMQNIISUg?t=80

Mocha tell me to create a new projet. Screenshot: http://puu.sh/gVsLX/6b87a41ed0.png> http://puu.sh/gVsG0/6340eef25d.png

(when I try to import a clip .mov or .mp4, I have the error "Corrupted ou unsupported format")

Can you help me ? I'm blocked

Thank you

Hi everyone,

Please find attached below a still which I would like to insert in my premiere pro cc project over a shot of a desert and the camera pans from left to right to give an effect of movement for the objects in the still. My question is how do I animate the objects in the still to appear as if they are walking and moving normally?  Is After Effects CC 2014 the right application to accomplish this, would you help me please with the steps to animate it successfully?

i have a seemingly simple project that is causing seemingly random render problems.

i am running top of the line MacPro, Yosimite, AE CC 2014. its a simple 2.5D comp with video and still assets.

thought i may have overcome the problem by shortening some file names - i recall this having an adverse effect in previous AE version, but no joy.

help.!

Some screens that show my issue.

Looked online can't find anything about this.

My multi pass layers do not render properly in AE rendering them useless no pun intended.

Please Help!!

Here are my specs

Running latest AE as well

Some examples of my issue

Object Buffer layer

RGB is fine

Ambient Occlusion

Work put in a new greenscreen stage and I think the lighting could be better. Fully cranked to 11, the lights mean I'm stuck at the widest aperture and a fairly low shutter speed resulting in lots of motion blur, and the grain isn't something to write home about either.  I'm tired of spending more time fixing lackluster, grainy, underexposed, smeary footage than creating the shot.

Full disclosure - I have no training in photography other than my gut and "that looks like it turned out right..."

I know different needs and variables such as desired frame rates, shutter speeds, f-stops and ISOs can turn up a thousand different answers, but can anyone suggest an "amount" of light on a greenscreen stage?  For example, my gut says a single 60 watt bulb is not a good amount of light.

So when a photographer sticks a light meter into a scene measuring, what - candelas? lux? something? - what number are they looking for?   I know light meters are more about, "this is the light you gave me and here's my suggestion on what to set your camera to.." but wondered if some other zero-to-a-million number comes out too.

I'm old enough to have books from ILM showing the making of films from before digital compositing and read about having so much light that the models needed internal cooling.   Sure, that was before LEDs and yeah they need small apertures to simulate size on scale models, but still - they had an abundance of light with room to spare.

I'd like to get a light meter, return to the dept. that put the room together and say, look - it should be around "here" and instead it's "here".   Objective values.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge.  Thank you to anyone who has set up their own in-house green screen stage and can offer a word or two of advice.

Thank you,

Marc

Hey everybody. Im on After effects Version 12.2 and Im having trouble animating the path of a shape layer. Every time I set the ending keyframes, it scales the path down then goes to the position. Not just adjusting the path. Has anybody had this problem, or no a fix? Im o 12.2 via work since they wont allow us to update. So updating to CC 2014 isnt an option unfortunately. Thanks!

Hi all,

When you try to open a project, I jumped out the window After Effects error.the file you are Attempting to open was created with After Effects version 13.0 (Windows 64) and can not be opened with this version. See www.adobe.com/after  effects for information on upgrading you like.

I emphasize that I'm working on AE CS 6 (Windows 64).

Can you please advise what is the problem?

Thank you very much

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.

Hi guys,

I've been having an issue with audio in After Effects, to make it simpler I'll explain the process of what I have to do.

1. I receive an edited sequence in premiere, which I then split into multiple compositions in one AEP file in After effects.
2. Once all the shots are in After Effects I collect the files into one folder (using File>Dependencies>Collect Files)
3. I then copy the entire folder over onto a server so a team of animators can work on different compositions, they each copy the AEP onto their own drives and work on different compositions.

My problem is every now and then the audio in a composition won't match the original audio given, I've checked the AEP on my computer and the audio is perfect, so somewhere along the line the audio is getting changed, I was just wondering if this is a known issue with copying AEPs across computers?

All computers are running on the latest version of after effects, I make the AEPs on an iMac, 16 GB ram, 64 bit, 3.5 GHz Processor late 2013 model on OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks. The animators work on i7 4GHz Processor, 32 GB Ram, 64 bit, Windows 7 Pro SP1.

Thanks for any help you can give,

Andy

Hello there,

I have the following problem:
I did a film with lots of text animation in After Effects CC 2014 (the newest version).

For different versions of that film in different languages I took my origin german project file and saved it as a different project with a different name.

I did my modifications for like 30 min and then I started with the next project in the next language. I was doing that the hole day. In the end of my workprocess I wanted to export all of my films.

So now when I open my projects, it says that the file is broken: Error 33 § 7.

Even the Auto-Save-Files are broken. I can't open any of these projects except the german file. Everything I did, is lost and I have to do it again.
I've allready reinstalled the suite but it's always the same. Is there a way I can still open them? What is the source for that error?

Here are some technical details:

iMac 27" 2009

OSX 10.9.5

3,06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

8 GB RAM 1067 MHz

ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB

I would be pleased for more help.

Greetings.

Is there some possibility add a so called Background Layer to the Composition? I mean: the Layer, which doesn't reacts on effects in Adjustment Layer above.

I used to precompose all the animation & AdLayer, but it's annoying to switch all the time back to comp, back to precomp ... The other method is open a new Viewer window and lock them to final Composition, while working in Precompose  with animations.

OK... anyway - the question is about Background Layer. Any ideas?

Is it possible to create music visualizations on After Effecfs to work on XBMC/Kodi?

Hi all,

I imported an mp3 audio file and dropped it into my comp which contained other Video (422 ProRes) files that contained audio.  When I RAM Previewed the audio for the entire comp slowed down and fell out of sync.  I can't seem to find any way to correct this.  I have tried both Comp Settings and Interpret Footage but I can't seem to find a fix.  Anyone know of (or have experienced) this issue and know of a fix? P.S. I know mp3 files are not optimal for use, but I used it anyway, and have in the past without issue.

Thanks,

JB

Since I have updated to Yosemite on my MacBook Retina i7 with 8gb of Ram AE (Recent Version) shows me a strange behavior. After the RAM Preview rendering is accomplished the ram preview should start on the beginning but it skipping the first second or so. This happens with every Ram Preview, no matter if i choose a specific zone or the beginning of the composition. The RAM Preview loops perfectly like always. It is really annoying.

So i try and open After effects after i turn my pc off and this configuration error pops up and says Please Uninstal and reinstall the product with the Error code :16... I have reinstalled it twice now and i can use it for a day... -.- then when i restart my pc it stops working, I have lost so much time because of this so can someone help me out?
