• Alexa in After Effects color questions

  Hello, I work with DPX files in After Effects CS6 (Mountain Lion) which are located in the color space of Alexa Log C without intermediate color grading or direct treatment of Technicolor.  My problem is the following: I am trying to correct the color files DPX to match Avid DNxHD quicktimes reference class color that were genereted from the same files to DPX using a LUT and a CDL.  In the past, that I never did NOT match perfectly using LEVELS by adjusting the color in each layer of color individually while comparing it to the color clip, I am corresponding to.  Not only it is impossible to match the DPXs made from the raw images Alexa to a color version of this clip which is corrected DNxHD quicktime format, but I find the red channel in the DPX files behave in ways that are unlike anything I've ever worked with before.  I did extensive research regarding this issue without success.  Technicolor provided a LUT for NUKE and SHAKE that, as well as a CDL, is supposed to recreate the color of the quicktimes grade.  I used free Colorista enter the CDL values, but also the READ buddy to incorporate the LUT that was given to me with no luck.  Compensation with levels does not work because the red channel will NOT cooperate.  I also used the utility LUT in After Effects, with the same results.  I even contacted the person in charge of such things at Technicolor and they admitted that they gave up on After Effects with regard to a solution of color corresponding to sequences of Alexa that has been converted to Avid DNxHD and baked with a LUT and CDL.  I can't be the first person to be executed on this issue and that it SHOULD be a solution that doesn't involve switching to Nuke.  Anyone?

• After Effects crash when you change the color space to render the output

  Hi all

  My legacy crashes each time, if I want to change the color space in my rendering output. It doesn't matter what color space or what file. In this case since I have updated my version 13.8 sequelae.

  This is the error message:

  < 140735248756736 > < BEE_WorkQueue > < 5 > BEE_Project:TimestampGetNextZANZIBAR - 3: can not generate timestamp, frozen = 0, open = 0

  I tried to revert to the prior version of my support, but as soon as I open this version, he says, that I have to uninstall and then install this version again as error 1 appeared.

  Does anyone have some tips I can do? Either get it solved the problems of color space or how to install an older version of my support? I really need a color space in my rendered files.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  This problem is fixed in update fixes after effects CC 2015.3 (13.8.1). This update, available now, can be installed by using the creative Office Cloud app, or by choosing Help > updates within any Adobe application.

• Premiere Pro / After effects editable text / contrast color

  Hello

  I'm working on a project where I've implemented text editable in After Effects in a first draft. In AFX, I have a shape layer that runs a script by defining the size based on the text layer. So far no problem.

  Now I'm looking for a function change the color for some words in the text in the first. Any suggestions how to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance,

  Daniel

  Solved with a script within After Effects that allowed me to edit host beach related to text layers that are not visible in the model, but can be changed in the first. If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to help you.

• REC 709 color is different in After Effects and Premiere Pro

  Can someone explain to me why the same piece of video shooting Rec 709 color looks differently in Premiere Pro and After Effect?

  The left image is After Effects with workspace of the project set to HDTV (Rec. 709) color setting.

  The right image is the same piece of footage come falling into a sequence in Premiere Pro.

  Why the color look completely different? Am I missing a setting in After Effects?

  

  Hi Aubrie,

  Have you tried to open the item in the source monitor in Premiere Pro where you get an extra tab in options to effect called "Master * clip_name.mov' where you will see a LUT Lumetri that can be disabled or removed?

• Color - After Effects CC 13.6.1 management

  After effects CC version 13.6.1 is no longer by changing settings on Quicktime MOV under Footate interpret > main > color management.  Profile incorporated for all the Quicktime MOV, I tested is listed as REC 709, and none of the options below that can be modified.  In previous versions, the embedded profile was listed as 'None' for the same files and the options below could be adjusted.  I tried several files of different tests and it seems that AE is to see all the Quicktime MOV with integrated REC 709 profile, no matter how it has been exported and will not allow that to be changed.  Obviously we cause problems of workflow.  Is this a bug or I do something wrong?  Thanks for any input.

  This isn't really a bug so much as unfinished coding by adobe. the engineers said that some codecs use a different interpretation engine and therefore cannot be changed in the control panel.

  a former post "said engineers, use utility effect color profile converter to undo the change by applying universal film hdtv, then visa versa."

• After effects CC 2015 color finesse presets not available?

  I am partially through a project on sequelae and upgraded to 2015 cc. In project I had used some of the available synthesis, color finesse "presets". When I go to the complete interface on the fineness of the color, it seems to work fully. However the film presets are no longer accessible. I can find the presets in the applications folder: -.

  However the color finesse Plug does not seem to be able to find them.

• After Effects for first - keep the white background color?

  My apologies, I'm new to After Effects. I created an infographic, black lines on a white background. In Premiere Pro, I created a dynamic link to that file from After Effects, but she appeared in Premiere Pro as black lines and text on a black background. If I change the lines and the white text in After Effects, it seems that the black and white lines on background in Premiere Pro, but I was hoping lines black and text on white background and do not know why I lost the white background in the dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere Pro. Any help for a novice like me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Use a white solid color layer as the background layer.

• In After Effects when I use the Color Finesse 3, a grid appears in the display. How to disable that?

  When I click the button, and then synthesis, then ITS Color Finesse 3 creative cloud, a grid appears on the video in the display window, and I don't know a how to take that off?

  Color THE 3 Finesse provided with After Effects and is automatically installed during the After Effects is installed. The only reason to upgrade to the paid version if you want to use Color Finesse in Premiere Pro, as well as in After Effects.

  Because this is a college computer, you have the option to install/uninstall software? Many universities to lock down computers in order to limit this access. You will need full access including an admin password, to use the following steps. If you are not allowed access, you can pass the following to whoever does the computer management.

  To remove the trial version, delete the entire folder "Synthetic aperture" found in:

  / Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore

  (Note that it is the library folder at the base of your boot drive, not that of your home folder).

  Then, re-enable the embedded Color Finesse version by going to the following folder:

  / Applications/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CC/Support Files/Plug-ins/effects/Synthetic Aperture

  Now, in this "Synthetic aperture" folder, you will find a plug-in with parentheses around the name:

  (Color Finesse 3 AE64)

  Remove the parentheses by the name of file for AE go to him. Not NOT remove parentheses from the folder "(Support CF3)" or AE will launch very, very slowly, and Color Finesse is not working properly. "

  "Finally, in the"(Support CF3) folder ", find it" (Color Finesse 3 IU) "application and remove the brackets.

  Launch of EI, apply Color Finesse to a layer, enter a name, and you should be good to go without grid lines.

• After Effects CS6 Crash - Film MXF + Keylight and Color Finesse

  Greetings community AEX,

  I'm pretty used to AEX crashing no aparent reason, but the frequency of the last series is a bit disturbing, and two of the stronger plugins (color of SA Finesse/Keylight) keep crashing when used. I am at a loss to know where to continue troubleshooting.

  
  Question:

  (1) I create a project in Adobe Premiere, and thanks to the Dynamic Link I replace a section of my sequence, by AEX composition.

  1 a) images that we use is MXF - 50mbit 4:2:2 acquired from a Canon XF300.

  (2) I use Color Finesse to adjust the image, the primary and the secondary color correction applied (we're doing chroma key work, and I find secondary helps give me a cleaner key when I can even the Greens)

  (3) I then apply the Keylight 1.2 filter, make the necessary adjustments and try to get an overview of my work in moving the playhead, or launch a RAM Preview.

  
  At this point, After Effects with either crash outright (if I touch the head or try a RAM Preview), or he will wait a few seconds and THEN crash.  HOWEVER, if instead of trying to move the playhead I just save my project and go back to the creation, the composition of the AEX plays very well in my sequence.  He did adjust my extremely difficult settings when I can't use the playhead to watch different images within the AEX.

  
  This question is highly reproducible, to the point where AEX will sometimes crash when trying to load the project file.  This is clearly struggling with the previews.

  Steps taken to solve (without success)

  -Restart the PC, delete the temporary files, check disk space, updates

  -J' tried to reset all default settings (CTRL + ALT + SHIFT), tried to clear all the cache/db, changed the location of the cache/db

  -Tried opening and creating a project outside dynamic links

  -System restart/graphics driver check

  -Curse to the computer

  -Turn off made in settings of the AEX, GPU switching CPU

  System Specs:

  -Recently reloaded my system clean installed Windows/Adobe, conducted all software/OS updates and generally little to the config which could cause a problem.

  -Intel Corei7 960 12 GB of ram

  -nVidia Quadro 4000

  -Intel 256 GB SSD + WD Black 2 TB.

  -Cache and previews are stored on the SSD,

  
  I am at a loss to know where to start or go here for troubleshooting more far.  The forums are so clogged with others experincing blocks in AEX (perhaps because only Adobe rushes their development cycles and explosions early software...), it is difficult to find something similar to what I am experincing.  Reloading of programs is an option, but uninstall, download and reinstallation is a pain, and I want this to be a last resort.

  Thank you

  -Greg

  Before you uninstall and reinstall once more, try this test first: transcode some of his problem for a codec lossless bindings.  I recommend the PNG Quicktime codec.  Then apply effects to them again in AE to see what is happening.

  The reason for this: your MPEG2 camera recordings.  It is not a true intermediate codec and compression is a group of images, rather than a single image.  The combination of Keylight and Color Finesse can be give AE fits.

  For this anthropomorphize, AE like to think image by image, but MPEG2 forces AE to think backwards and forwards over several frames, and it can be to revolt on you.  I hope you enjoy the technical jargon.

• After effect and 3dsmax VRay + color 32 bits and the wrong display

  I have 32 EXR with gamma 1.0 (for 2.2 future in AE)

  and 16-bit PNG with gamma 2.2 for reference

  When Color management is None PNG in PPAS are exactly as in a buffer of 3dsmax! EXR have a difference with her.

  If I check "Preserve RGB" EXR and apply with 2.2 gamma levels to compensate for linear-look exactly like the PNG.

  If I use Color Management (I have try many other profiles and sRGB) color PNG became a few distortions (from 3dsamx buffer).

  Why I can't get EXR = PNG in After Effects?

  How can I get PNG in AAE = EXR in AE = 3dsmax buffer?

  Sorry for my English)

  I think what is happening here is that 3ds Max does not all the color management. Most programs that use color (including After Effects and Photoshop) management assume that a PNG will be in the video space and an EXR in linear space. If 50% gray in PNG format is 0.5 (127 in the 8-bit 0-255) during EXR is around 0.18. Unless you set things properly, 3ds Max will not do that, but write 0.5 EXR and PNG. Since After Effects is expected to 0.18, the EXR will appear too bright.

  If you want EXR to resemble the PNG, the simple way is to keep the project space the value None to work and check preserve RGB on the EXR.

  The ideal workflow is to preview that your Max is rendered with a gamma of 2.2 applied during the creation of your scene. Which is what After Effects is by default when you import an EXR.

• After Effects for color instead of Color Finesse

  I'm new to After Effects, from Final Cut Studio with extensive experience in Apple Color.

  I was just looking for opinions on what everyone thought about the difference between staining using After Effects plugins instead of using Color Finesse.

  In addition, any use AE and Apple Color? Opinions?

  Thank you!

  I'm biased as to what should be your choice, but an important thing to keep in mind is the basic difference between a dedicated as Apple Color application of color correction and color correction plug-ins like Color Finesse/Magic Bullet in the workflow.

  Color is designed to work similarly to a traditional band-to-band color correction workflow. In other words, complete you your package, block all along, then go to the color correction. Make additional editing after the color correction is difficult. The advantage is that you get to work in an environment dedicated to the color correction, and the corrector 'knows' about the whole project, facilitating global operations. But the integration between editing app (FCP) and the color Checker (Color) is limited.

  With a plug-in, you have you color correction in your editor/motion graphics app so that revisions are easy to make, without the need of what either lock or flatten change them or effects. Integration between the app (AE/Agency) and the plug-in may be extremely tight. The downside is that the plug-in is applied to individual clips/layers so that the plug-in only 'knows' about this element further complicates global operations.

  We try to split the difference with Color Finesse, giving you an environment dedicated to the color correction, as well as a plug-in. Of course, we also offer our standalone version for Mac users.

  Neither approach is necessarily "better" than the other, they are just different. It depends largely on your own workflow preferences.
