After Effects - adjustment layer has no effect on all layers

Hey guys,.

I'm a really, really big noob with After Effects, but I will try my best to learn. I'm doing an intro for my brother and the tutorial that I look tells me to add an effect to an adjustment layer. However, no effect that I add to the adjustment layer doesn't affect the layers underneath. I tried to add the glow effect for different layers of their own and it was fine, but for the sake of simplicity, it'll be a great help if someone could help me to solve the problem with the adjustment layer having no effect on the other layers

Thank you!

Make sure that your light effect is the right layer - Wo.

Is the eye of the visibility of the layer of setting on?

Check that your adjustment layer is "over" your base layer as well in location and time.

  • After Effects uses all my VRAM?

    So, I just upgraded my GTX 460 SE to a GTX 770 4 GB and cut my 81 minutes rendering time on a project at 23 minutes which is awesome, but I have a question where CS5.5 AE is not allowing me to use more than 800 MB of VRAM regardles of how many models I use. A unique model of poly 300 k takes me to 700 MB (element using 3D plugin). Addition of 20 several models ranging from 20 k to 400 k does not change my VRAM usage at all. There's just around 700 MB.

    What I need to change some setting to get After Effects to see that I have more VRAM which can store more models? I'm not asking so he could fill in completely all 4GB, but I expected to enjoy at least 2 to 3 GB. My old 1 GB card would fill up to 900 MB that I increased the number of models and would scale down that I removed the templates. Thanks in advance for any help!

    System Specs:

    I7 - 3930 k OC had to 4.5 GHz

    GTX 770 4 GB GPU

    16 GB RAM (upgrading to 48GB soon) 1866

    SSD for the OS and programs only (no games)

    SSD for scratch and media

    HARD drive for media audio and low res

    Double 23 "1080 monitors (HP 23xi)

    Okay, so I've done a few tests more and I discovered that I had to put the quick previews of Adaptive resolution - Open GL Off. Now, my GPU stores up to 2 GB exactly (value I put my memory of texture to). Thus, it seems as if I can put my memory of texture like that I'll also be able to make better use of my GPU. However, After Effects CS5.5 do not increase higher than 2000MB texture memory. Is there a workaround for this or After Effects is simply not able to use more than 2 GB of VRAM?

    Edit: Did some more tests. For some reason any 2 GB seems to be the limit for 1080 video, but bumping up to a model of 4 K me has 4 GB very quickly. So it seems that the high quality 3D models, I've been adding did not place as much VRAM as I thought they would. Even better than it is after changing fast Adaptive resolution preview, now I can have 1000 low to medium poly count models and move around the stage in real time, no lag at all. Still not sure why have Open GL causes things to slow down so well. Maybe because 3-d element using its own rendering engine Open GL and the after effects Open GL rendering engine begins to come into conflict? No idea, anyway I am more than satisfied with my findings.

    Edit 2: Ran some tests with a model plane k 4 into a model of 1080. It takes about 1.5 GB of VRAM to load, but once I run a RAM preview it takes up to 3.5 GB. It seems that everything depends on the models that you use in your projects. If you are not using crazy high res/specialemement models then you'll be fine with / 3GB, or maybe even 2 GB of VRAM, but as soon as you start using models high-resolution, models particularly high resolution of very large/complicated models such as big planes, cars, people, etc. then more VRAM really makes a difference. I hope this helps someone else down the road!

  • I want to change my plan photography & after effect the all Apps student, how do I do without paying cancellation fees?

    I bought the plan of photography and After Effects, without realizing that, as a student, I could get the plan of the student. I wish I could spend plans, but when I try to cancel my plans of course asked me to pay the cancellation fee. I am wary to do if I'll just come back and use the programs, with another plan that offers access to more applications. I would pay the same amount for the plan of the student I pay now for my current plan, so is there a way to circumvent the problem of cancellation charges and simply exchange plans?

  • Cross dissolve on adjustment layer above clips main sends all black

    I don't think that I had a problem with it before, but now when I add a layer of setting above the main clip and add a cross dissolve, transitions starts from black. Example screenshot below. If I do the same thing with a title or another video, the transition appears as you would expect (i.e. more melted the clip below).

    My adjustment layer includes settings of brightness/contrast and even when it is empty/other effects that it still happens.

  • I don't know if After Effects has what I need

    Hi im an independent developer of games and I do it for fun, but I want to start doing more. I would like to make a film trailer for one of my games, but I'm not good with graphics really at all. I have the software to assemble the video and audio and audio, but I need a program that could PREFERABLY convert a 2d image, I have a 3d or at least help to accelerate. I also need a program that can help with an animation of market. I can program it to walk forward, but I'm not good enough to make an animation that looks good. Can After Effects do all this? Thank you! I don't need to be Blizzard I want just a cool market effect and 3d sprites.

    WWell I saw much indirectly of the plugin and I know a lot of guys who are making videos and generally used for AE. I am satisfied.

  • after effects to export photoshop layers

    Right, so I've never really been much of a Photoshop guy.  As a Motion Designer / 3D Animator for 15 years, I've never met anything, I could not do with After Effects and/or Cinema 4 d (with Final Cut or more recently first added for good measure).

    However, I find myself in a unique and quite frustrating situation.  I need to export a model of the single image as a PSD layered image.  Easy, isn't it?  Of course, but it seems to be a few big enough caveats.  Whenever I try, I get the message:

    Screen Shot 2015-01-27 at 6.23.06 PM.png

    So, the first thing I did is get rid of my caches either replace them with masks or rendered a flattened version of only these two or three layers, then I could re - import and replace the dull pair of the track with just a normal raster layer.  I did until my computer was completely free of caches, and yet I still get this message.  Now, my efforts have contributed to the appearance of the resulting file when opened in Photoshop, but I still a change of color of light cyan to a shade much green, and I'm getting some transparency that I wasn't expecting in a few places.  Only blending modes that I use are Normal, Add, screen and multiply.  I don't know much about the PS, but I know she has these means available to it.

    The message speaks however for these 2 things... In other words, there must be yet ANOTHER incompatible element in the game, but I don't know what it is, or even how to track him down.  At this point, I almost want to just make it individually to each layer and try to manually assemble in Psalm... but come on. Putting aside a moment that two requests made by the same company, ostensibly the same purpose - image manipulation - not being able to communicate more effectively with one another is not unlike having 2 children and a teacher only Spanish and another Italian. Of course, they would be able to communicate in ways, but any significant exchange would be very difficult.

    Is there someone here who can help me to know what that is verboten in this type of workflow, or if it's something that doesn't work as it should?  Are there any workarounds or known procedures to make the file open in Photoshop look even as he did when he left After Effects, or is it a largely untenable proposal? I have to suck it up and start at level 0 in a new program?

    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

    See you soon,.

    -Willie

    Right - I discovered caches fairly quickly and eliminated.  As you can see from my screenshot above, I'm not using the mattes in my computer.

    I decided to go on the removal of layer by layer, until I had an export without the error message.  Turn, it's the Add mode that causes the problem.  So, I made an export of all of the layers that did not employ this mode and then exports the 2 layers that use it.  I then opened the batch in PS, flies over them adjusted until I had the right look and 2 isolated layers.  Oddly, I ended using Add (which PS called linear density) but with better results when EI he did 'automatically' export.  The only difference now in my PS layer stack, it is that I had duplicate layer flare (and ramp down its opacity to about half) to get the same 'brightness', I had in my AE comp.  I also no longer had the hue-shift reported previously.

    So, in the interest to have a definitive list of the updates warn workflow, we know now there is a problem with the way After Effects converts the layers with the straight-line method in a layer of PS.

  • The start-up first kernel panics? After Effects after update OSX 10.11.6

    Hello

    Big problems after the update to OSX 10.11.6. Creation/after effects/SOUL (all latest versions) all introduce a kernel with my cMacPro panic them 2012. Computer freezes and goes upward. Photoshop/bridge etc. Start fine. Seems it has something to do with the Adobe Media core. It hangs at that time at the start of AE.

    Reinstalled OSX 10.11.6 updating combo, Reinstalled Adobe app, cleaned cash (Onyx), uninstalled the driver of the black magic. Nothing helps.

    I'm on a Mac Pro 2012 with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X 12288 MB (macvid cards) running on the latest driver from NVIDIA. Can it be linked to this driver? Or maybe CUDA? FCPX starts fine and does not use Cuda.

    Anyone having the same problems?

    Enter OSX 10.10.5 startup disk. that should work well.

    Kind regards

    Found the answer in another discussion. Remove the Metal 3 folders first, AE and SOUL solved the problem.

    Thank you

  • Export SWF in After Effects

    Not sure that this is a problem of Flash or something that can be solved in sequels, so I'll start with Flash.

    I've done a swf animation and I imported in sequels. The problem is that part of it is not visible in AE.

    In the Swf file, I have a clip on the root timeline. Inside of the mc, I have 4 layers. One is a layer mask which is the layer below. The hidden layer is animted to reveal notes as the animation progresses, however, the objects which are hidden does not sequelae. They work fine when I vew the .swf file in Flash player. After Effects love the layers in Flash mask?

    I also tried to export a QuickTime, but it gives me strange artifacts.

    Here is the file quicktime with artifacts. http://S713.Photobucket.com/albums/ww137/macjsus/?action=view & Current = CallingToTheNight_Ki netic.mp4

    I use Flash and After Effects CS5.

    Here is the output of Quicktime Animation with transparency (but remember, extremely fine lines don't do as well in low resolution):

    Animation of the million + coding

    And here is an example showing the works of transparency, no artifacts (using a screenshot of the forum underneith):

    Example of overlay

    I forgot to mention on this first dialog box check to ignore the background color (producing an alpha channel). You can see in the images of your example.

  • Premiere Pro creates new after effects project sending clips to AE?

    When you create a new composition in After Effects to clips on the timeline, Premiere Pro works perfectly well. Send clips to a new composition, the same project After Effects. All is well and good. Until I got close After Effects or Premiere. Then, when that I raise, clips in After Effects in a new composition, Premiere Pro sent something strange. Even if I reopen the project I was working on, no matter what, Premiere Pro sent clips to a new project and not send them to the one currently open. Does anyone have any kind of reasons as to why?

    Hi Instrud:

    Just to clarify: when you continue to work, After Effects is open with the file to current project open AE and Premiere Pro is open with the file to current project plans open as well.  Then, when you choose "Replace with After Effects Composition" your Pro first sequence, the current project of AE closes and starts a new AE project.

    All of which is managed by dynamic link and clearly something is off.

    I got to one of two things:

    • Begin a conversation with Adobe support to check that everything is installed and configured correctly on your system.
    • Uninstall the two Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects and then reinstall them (something Adobe support would you anyway).

  • No audio rendering in After Effects using the render queue

    In after effects CC2015, all of a sudden no audio is rendered when I use the line to return, just the video.  When I use the Adobe Media Encoder queue waiting, both audio and video are rendered. All correct audio boxes are checked. I read that there is a new glitch in AE CC2015. I'd rather be able to use the Render Queue, making it faster than the Adobe Media Encoder queue. Does anyone know how to get new once audio rendered using the render queue. Thanks for any help or suggestion.
