• Import Illustrator file with several layers and sublayers as composition by keeping all layers and sous-calques

  I drew a map of the country with several layers and sous-calques, including the streets, cities, railroads...

  Now, I want to create a template for my colleagues in After Effects.

  To do this, I want to import the AI in After Effects, holding all sublayers and layers in compositions and subcompositions.

  When I do, I get the first two layers correctly, others just in a merged publication.

  What can I do to get all the layers of each as a layer in After Effects?

  Best regards, Raphael

  Illustrator imports only the first level of the layers. If you have groups or paths below you must release layer groups. The layers will then be stacked in the order in the form of layers. Then you need to move them to the top.

  The procedure is to select a layer in the layer Illustrator Panel, then without selecting any which specific element in the layer click on the menu in the upper right corner and select release to layers. All an elements in this layer will be transformed into layers. Now, select all, and drag them to the top above the original layer. This will leave the empty original layer and put all the elements in new layers.

  Here is a tutorial I made there are a bunch of years and who uses this technique to transform a mixture in a morphing.

• How to subtract a grunge texture of a layer with several objects?

  Hi all

  I've been struggling with this for hours. Would be very grateful for help.

  I'm trying to apply a vintage texture to some vector illustrations.

  In the screenshot, the work I created is in the layer of "work." I tried to simplify the work as much as possible by using the union, merge, expand, etc. I wanted to do a piece of work, but that seems so simple that I can get it.

  When I try to perform a subtraction on the layer 'work' with the layer of 'texture', basically everything disappears.

  I suspect that it does not work as expected because the layer of my work is always composed of several objects and not a unified object.

  Vintage texture superimposed on the work looks good, but I need this subtraction in vector because I intend to get it printed on a shirt in one color, so I can't get the holes filled with color.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  How can I activate art in a single compound path?

  First of all, to unite all paths with the first button in the Pathfinder palette. Then choose object > compound path > make (or press Command-8).

  But don't do it this way. Use an opacity mask.

  If I use the grunge texture as an opacity mask, do I still to transform the art into a single compound path first or I can do to a layer with several objects as if it were now?

  No, you have not; You can keep a complete editibility of your design. You need to just design group firstly, why the opacity mask applies to all this.

  Opacity masks are easier to use if you uncheck "Clip" after their creation. Then, all parts of the mask that is black will be transparent; each part that is white will be opaque, and the things which are shades of gray will be partially transparent. Just like in Photoshop. Right now, your grunge texture is white, so you would need to change to black after making your opacity mask.

• BlackBerry Smartphone Sync Outlook calendars with several "layers".

  Hello

  I have several 'layer' in my calendar in Outlook as Holiday, private, office, etc... When I sync the calendar with my H/H, however not appear only the default calendar being sync. Is it possible to synchronize the other layers as well?  Thanks a bunch...

  Hello

  The object is to get all records associated with a calendar, which can be synchronized with Outlook.

  The default calendar is the calendar of the device, items synced to it will not correctly synchronize on the desktop.

  (1) delete your addresses of e-mail of the device.

  (2) use the link below to clear the Calendar database.

  (3) recreate the e-mail address you want to associate with your main calendar.

  4) go to default services and make sure that your email address for the main calendar is specified

  in the CICAL and CMIME entries. Save it.

  (5) in the Office Manager, specify a one-way synchronization of Outlook to the device for the calendar only.

  (6) once successful, check the calendar of primary e-mail and make sure that all records are there.

  (7) run synchronization for each category separately until you have all the correct data on the BB.

  (8) recreate the second email address.

  (9) send service directories.

  (10) the BB has now all the calendar entries in the calendar main correct email, with no record in another.

  (11) on the PC, delete the intellisync folder and reconfigure the installer for normal 2 way sync.
  Thank you

• Transform a shape layer with several groups/paths in another?

  Hello

  I'm trying to turn the form A B-shaped into aftereffects.

  

  Both are drawn in illustrator, and I imported into aftereffects and diverted path to forms.

  At the moment I do a key framing color and the path in the sticky on the form A and form B. From there I will meet with two questions.

  (1) for now I have to manually open each group, every path, every feature of color until I'm able to keyframe them. After that I have to paste the keyframe of the track and keyframe colors individually to the corresponding group. It's doable, but I have to turn the form in 10 more other variants. Just want to check is there a shorter way to the key all the way to access and color properties frame. And then copy all of the keyframes from one form to the other.

  

  (2) I noticed that not all the points on the path are created equal. I think that the "starting point" is noted with an extra box compared to other points.

  

  As the "starting point" of a path is different from the rest, the transition has become weird.
  Can I check if someone knows how to change the "starting point" to another point on the same path? Or y at - it another way of fixing?

  Finally, if there is more easy morphing shapes to another, I'll be happy to listen. Thanks a lot ~

  I would do this kind of thing differently and 90% of the work in Illustrator.

  I would like to begin by drawing a path in Illustrator, to duplicate the path and to change the size and position and change the color of the outline of the color I wanted for the inside of the first form at the beginning of the animation.

  

  I use then the gradient tool to create a blend between the two forms specifying the number of steps, so my first form duly filled out for one frame looked like this:

  

  I would then do the same for my second form by using different colors, so I got this:

  

  With the two mixtures on you will see this:

  

  The upper mixing layer is where your animation will start and the bottom is where your animation should end.

  The next step is to select Merge layers and spread the mixture, if you find yourself with two groups:

  

  Here comes the fun part. Select groups, and then specify the number of steps you want as long as the number of images that you want in your animation. In this case, I want a second 1 transition and my comp is 29.97 FPS, so I selected 30.

  

  Now spread the mixture:

  

  We should end up with a group at layer 1 with 30 subgroups:

  

  Ungroup the higher group only then deselect all layers and select a single layer, then choose release to layers (sequence).

  

  now select all sub layers in the layer panel and drag it above layer 1. Layer 1 is now empty, so you can delete:

  

  Save the file HAVE and import into AE as a model with the size of the layer keeps selected:

  

  [Open the model, select all layers, move the a CTI frame to the right by pressing Ctrl/Cmnd + arrow to the right, then press Alt/Option +] to set the out point of all layers and then the wizard from keyframe to the layers in sequence without overlapping:

  

  I usually go to the point of exit of the background layer and press N to set the work area exit point, then cut the comp to work area.

  

  This model is then nested in your main comp and you can activate the time-remapping, so you can change the speed and use CC force motion blur to smooth animation.

  

  You will find it much easier to create the morph to a shape layer in Illustrator those in AE, you don't need to convert anything to forms and most of the work is done for you before you start. Total time to create this project with about 1/4 of the time it took to create this post.

• PSE7 several layers? Is there a limit?

  I works in PSE7. I have a complex shadow trying to calm him down. The more corrective cloning tool works well for what I want. My starting point is to create a double layer and correct flaws. Then, create another duplicate layer and clone on one shadow, followed another duplicate the background layer and fix even more shade, if I use the cloning tool, nothing happens on this layer, but I can see the changes that I made if I disable the previous layer.  I'm traveling with only PSE7 on my laptop and I'll be darn if I can solve this problem with several layers. I can make any changes that I need on a single layer, but I really want to blend in with the opacities on different layers to better control my results.

  I do not know I have it in CS3 on my graphics workstation main, I need more coffee or what?

  Thank you

  Roger

  Instead of duplicating your background layer and the top cloning, try to create a layer of white on the image and the clone or heal on the empty layer. You can also try to catch some well grounded, by copying it on what you want to clone. (The selection before you copy the good land of feathers or soften with an eraser or hide it once it is over the area that needs to be fixed, so it will blend in.)

  In the elements, you need to check a box in the options bar that says something like "Sample all layers" or "Use all layers" to allow cloning or healing on an empty layer.

  CS3 has a drop down which allows you to select the layer, current and below and all the layers. Perhaps, that's the difference you see.

  If your image is really high resolutions, you might run into a problem of memory by duplicating the background several times.

• Apply the filter at several layers at the same time (without converting them to a CG)

  Hey everybody,

  I looked everywhere for a way to simply apply the same filter with several layers at once, without first convert to smart object. I need to keep my layers intact and separated from the others. Does anyone know of a script or a way to do this?

  Any response is appreciated.

  -Andy

  Paul has a script "Filter selected Layers" on the site that makes the most of the filters.

  It's at the bottom of the "CSP Scripts" section.

• Script to connect several layers to one layer draw

  I'm trying to bind several layers to one layer no animated but I want each layer to start the animation layer from time.

  What would be the script that I need to add instead of duplicating layer draw for each layers?

  I hope that this question is not too complicated to understand lol

  TIA

  W

  I think you can do it with an expression as follows:

  thisComp.layer("ROTATE").transform.xRotation.valueAtTime (time-inPoint)

• I want to make a new layer of several elements on layers...

  Hello

  It's probably easy, but I can't understand it.

  I have a multi document layers and I don't want to flatten things to do this.

  Sure I can go the long road, but it has got to be a better way I just

  do not know.

  I drew a selection with the marquee tool. But the elements of this selection of are all separate

  layers.

  Without their merger, how can I make a new layer of this selection?

  I'm on CS4

  Thank you

  Stamp of several layers or linked layers

  When you stamp multiple selected layers or linked layers, Photoshop creates a new layer containing the merged content.

  Select more than one layer.
  Press Ctrl + Alt + E (Windows) or command + Option + E (Mac OS).

  Stamp all visible layers

  Turn on visibility for the layers you want to merge.
  Do one of the following:
  Press Shift + Ctrl + Alt + E (Windows) or shift + command + Option + E (Mac OS).
  Hold down ALT (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key, and then choose layer > Merge visible layers.
  Photoshop creates a new layer containing the merged content.

• How to add an image to a layer with a mask?

  How to add an image to a layer with a mask?

  I use a flyer template and not good in photoshop.

  I just need to insert a picture in a layer with a mask

  What is the best way to do it?

  Thank you

  Just paste the photo. It turns on a new layer, which is OK, but then you just drag the mask above. Remove the old layer.

• When you have several layers, move pictures and text from background layer

  Greetings

  I have an image that has about 24 layers, many of them are text.  When you try to move the images and text on the same layer yesterday, I ran into problems, but finally fixed by moving these elements from the bottom layer, using Ctrl\Move.

  It worked well so I thought I'd show my fellow learners at our regular session of Friday on 11 items to SeniorNet.  However when I went to show them I could move easily and freely on the background layer - without using Ctrl, just the move tool.  Elements simply very quickly leave the background layer for the relevant layer with the image or the text (as before?).

  Does not include why I couldn't do that in the first place at home, but I had a lot of testing there.  What circumstances might have been different?

  Jim, in the Interface of PSE11/12 "Auto select Layer" is displayed in the background Tool Options Panel

  

  See you soon,.

• several layers with a reduced opacity

  Hi all

  I'm working on a file, Indesign has several layers which are both about a 10% capacity.

  When I just put the two on 10% obviously, you can see the bottom layer through the top layer.

  What I want is that you will not be able to see the layer of background (despite the top layer of 10% opacity), but simply to see the white background just as if it would be not another layer below.

  In the example image, you can see what I have now.
  So what I want, it's that you will not see the logo of the carbrands under the word Scantools.
  Is this possible?

  Thank you very much
  Eric.

  

  You can also simply use a tint of the color rather than reduce the opacity of the word SCANTOOLS.

• Cannot add layer markers on the fly with Mac laptop

  I tried to figure this out for hours now! I'm on a Mac laptop Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.6. I use After Effects CS3 Professional. All I want to do is RAM preview audio file from within a composition and Add layer markers on the fly. Apparently, it's easy with your desktop using the keypad. I remapped the shortcut in the preferences text file so that "Add a reference" is now F12 - nice and easy! (and no, this is not in conflict with the dashboard OS shortcut - I disabled that). Anyway, I tried a number of other institutions. The problem is, no matter that the shortcut, when I try to add the guide layer with the shortcut, the file stops playing! So annoying! I want to add a number of landmarks of layer timed to the rhythm, but whenever I do damned RAM Preview stops! I can't mark important points in the composition! Any help would be appreciated...

• Slow with many layers of Photoshop

  Hello!
  
  

  I do experience notable in Photoshop slowdowns when working with large files (more than 4000 x 4000 pixels) with many layers.
  I tried different things, like tinkering with performance options in Photoshop, brush settings and global PC settings.
  Nothing seems to help.
  
  When you start with a new file (say 4000 x 4000 pixels), everything seems fine. As I work, I create layers more. When the number of layer approaches 80 ~ 100 I start noticing significant slowdowns. The Brush tool becomes lag (delay adds boring), zooming and paning is smoother and everything becomes overall slower.
  
  When checking in the Manager of tasks, either the graphics card or RAM or processor is fully utilized. Total CPU usage is usually only 20 ~ 25%, 50% of RAM but Photoshop is lagging as hell.

  I think I have a quite decent PC. (at least for this type of workload..)
  My PC current specifications are:
  
  CPU: i7 6700 k @ 4, 0GHz
  RAM: DDR4, 16GB, 3000 Mhz
  GPU: GTX 980 Ti
  2xSSD RAID-0 for the main system partition (Photoshop "scratch disks" can also be programmed to do this).
  Windows 10

  
  So, what could be the problem? Any ideas I could try?
  Or should I rethink my working habits of several layers?

  Update!
  After more inexperienced, seems to have finally found the culprit that is causing slowdowns.
  Layer blending Options. Especially those that generate their own semi-transparent area.

  I can reproduce this in the layer file 10:
  (1) create a new file with the dimensions of the 6000 x 6000 pixels (or something bigger) with no background
  (2) draw something
  (3) add option 'outer glow' merger with significant RADIUS
  (4) add a few more layers, repeat steps 2 and 3
  (5) create new layer below all other layers and try to get something in the area where overlap the effects of "outer glow".

  So the main takeaway:
  Be careful adding mixture of options to layers and rasterization them where possible.
