After Effects equivalent to form Illustrator blend effect?

Hi guys,.

I would like to create the effect of mixture of Illustrator inside AE. Is it possible to do this? I would like to install 2 forms (more pref) and mix between their limits (using shape and color settings) so that I could then freely move these forms and the mixture would continue to adjust with change and drop shape ETC.

Something like this;

I can then lead to moving the circle

Any ideas/suggestions?

Mynelium said there is no way to do this directly, but you can use a combination of two expressions, AE and Illustrator to do this. It is a simple process, if you understand the Illustrator version to feature layers.

Here's how to do it.

  1. Create your mixture in Illustrator
  2. Specify the number of steps or to use for mixing colors
  3. Expand the appearance of mixture
  4. Select the created grope
  5. Use the exit command in the sequence of layers in the Palette layers
  6. Select all released in the Palette layers layers and drag them over the top layer.
  7. Save your Illustrator file
  8. Import your Illustrator file in AE as a Composition with cropped layers
  9. 'Up' higher layer naming
  10. Name the bottom layer "base".
  11. Apply the following expression to one of the other property of rotation of the layers:
  12. 
t = thisComp.layer("top");
b = thisComp.layer("base");
o = index/b.index;
bp = b.rotation;
tp = t.rotation;
op = tp + (o * (bp - tp));

op
  13. Copy the expression of rotation only
  14. Lock the layer upper and lower
  15. Select all layers
  16. Paste the expression
  17. Add almost the same expression to the position property of any layer:
  18. t = thisComp.layer("top");
b = thisComp.layer("base");
o = index/b.index;
bp = b.position;
tp = t.position;
op = tp + (o * (bp - tp));

op
  19. Copy the position property expression only
  20. Select all layers and paste

This is how the expression works. The order of layers is transformed into a percentage by dividing its index (number of layer) by the index of the bottom layer. The difference between the positions of the top layer and the layer background and rotation is calculated by subtraction and multiplied by the percentage of offset, then added to the rotation and the position of the upper layers. It's actually quite simple when you can view it.

The end result looks like this:

  • Is it possible to scale of the Illustrator files in After Effects and maintain the quality of vector?

    I imported an Illustrator file in my project After Effects and scaling of the file have 200%, but noticed it's pixelated.  Is there a way to keep the vector file based within After Effects.

    Note: I tried to use the "create forms of vector layer" and all paths will be displayed, but the background and outline colors disappear?

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Of course: select rasterize the layer switch continuously.  Looks a bit Sun with the Sun said on this subject.  If your layer is truly vector - not only a bitmap passed Illustrator - the edges will look great.

  • You can duplicate an objects in illustrator as you do in After Effects?

    In After Effects shapelayer you can create an object and the duplicate in a script inside the AE and decide how many copies and where they should be placed.
    Would be great if this could be a similar thing in illustrator.
    If you want to create bricks in a wall or windows in a House.

    If this is not such a thing how you create bricks in a wall without having to copy and paste several times.

    / Mattias

    Have a look at the appearance Panel and the deformation and transformation > transform effect.

    This allows to make multiple copies and add many effects that can be changed whenever you like.

    The result can be saved as a graphic Style.

    So, do a search of appearance and graphic styles in the help file.

  • After effects CC corrupt Illustrator file?

    Hello!

    I worked on sequels with animation, but after doing with animate and make the .mov and .mp4 file, part of one of the illustration files became corrupted? You can see here below, with the cat.

    Screen Shot 2016-04-15 at 21.52.02.png

    Is that the back of the legs of the cat, the rest of my animation still works as before. I got messages showing that my hard drive was almost full lately, but everything in the animation works as before (the .mov file looks like perfectly) except when I did a .mp4 file.

    I'm only a beginner with after effects and I looked in forums everywhere to find answers, but nothing explains my problem.

    did anyone of you knows what to do? I need to change a second time to improve my animation, but this surely isn't an improvement.

    You have moved the layer with the puppet pin applied. You can't do that.

    Puppet pin defines a mesh of the alpha chanel of the layer when you place the first pin. When you are using puppet pin, it is important to turn on the mesh, so you can see what parts of the image it is covering. If you had a puppet like this and the expansion was wet too wide mesh cover the arms and the body so that you can not move arms independently.

    Move the arm gives you this:

    Change the extension of 5 pixels mask solves the problem completely:

    If you to scale or move the layer after applying a puppet pin that the mesh is going to stay in it is original position and the effect will be broken.

    Any decent tutorial on using the puppet pin should have covered these basic rules for the workflow. The solution is to make your puppet using only the pins of puppets or make your puppet move, call before you move all attributes to the new model and then move the entire layer.

    For instructions on the use of the pin type puppet 'puppet ' corner in the search help field in the upper right of After Effects, and learn about the resources of the community.

  • Is there an equivalent for Photoshop adjustment layer masks After Effects?

    I have a clip showing the clouds in a blue sky and the Valley in the bluish shade, and I want to darken the blues of the sky without affecting the Valley. Effects such as Hue/Saturation or curves produce good results on the sky, but apply to the entire composition.

    In Photoshop I would just do something like painting a gradient on the adjustment layer mask, but I don't see an equivalent in after effects CC2015.2 and wonder if I forgot something. Pointers?

    John

    Mast track controls are in the Modes Panel. The second icon in the lower left corner of the timeline will reveal the switches and modes column in the timeline panel, or you can press F4 to switch between them. If the second icon is not selected, then you should also see a switch at the bottom of the column switches switches/Modes.

    Here's how I would setup a colour correction in this train yard shot to put a glance Kodachrome faded on the bottom of the frame without turning the yellow sky.

    If you look very carefully between the cars, you can see the start and the end points for my gradient.

    After effect CS6 works very well, but AE CC does not not and will close while I try to import the PSD file as a composition.

    can anyone help?

    Hi good morning all.

    I finally found what causes this problem.

    That I've added the link of 3ds max compositor (CEAP) to my folder plugin effects Jefferson, sequelae stops responding to PSD (import in the form of layers as a model) files.

    then, after the removal of this file (CEAP) every thing change to normal mode.

    now the question is only how to use 3ds max scene after effects without this headache.

    Thanks for everyone.

  • Illustrator couldn't be installed (code: 132) and crashes After Effects overtime that I open it

    The problem is happening somewhere around mid-December, I've found that my Illustrator will cause BSOD (kernel security check failure), while I open it.

    I followed the instructions to remove "sniffer.exe" and it seems fine.

    However, after a month now, I found that my After Effects is facing the same question.

    To make the problem clear, I provided Adobe tool is used to remove all files, and then reinstall cleaning CC, and then my Photoshop began to cause a BSOD.

    Again, I must remove sniffer.exe to solve the problem, and After Effects, still cause BSOD.

    What a value right now, is that I can not install even Illustrator, he showed the code 132 that tells me impossible to install the product in the root directory, I tried to change a directory, but it still happens.

    I'm really angry now, I had to search the forum and found a lot of people is having the same number within three months.

    How Adobe could solve the problem?

    I have something that must be returned the day after tomorrow, and I couldn't even open CC now.

    And I couldn't even download the file from the direct link some people provided.

    Please Adobe, please resolve this at the first of the priorities and resolve as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Or I won't be able to do my job.

  • . Don't update the AI Illustrator files in After Effects

    CC Yes after effects 2014 (and perhaps older versions?) had a feature that I really liked where if you have imported an illustrator (.ai) file into After Effects, you can change this file in Illustrator without having to re - import the file back into After Effects. The image would automatically update.

    I use CC AE 2015 and Illustrator CS5.1 and this method does not work. The illustrator file to update or change, even when I reload the film or purge the memory of the software. Also, I rebooted my computer for fun, but that did not work. This functionality has changed in 2015 After effects version? Y at - there a step I'm missing?

    Here is my example. I want this red screw to have fewer teeth, so I deleted my teeth in Illustrator up to five:

    illustrator.jpg

    After this change and in saving it, nothing changes in After Effects. He holds the stick to the old version of the screw, which has about nine teeth:

    It could refer to a preview stored in the cache, serving and see if that makes a difference.

  • Blend Modes ('bright light') in After Effects?

    I discovered that in After Effects CS6 (Win7) some blend modes seem to not work as expected.

    I have a bitmap with transparent above other bitmap and want to mix with "bright light" - but the result is the same, as if I had no merger mode at all. It is the same for 'hard light', 'linear light' or 'hard mix.

    Other blending modes like "multiply", "soft light" and "overlay" work very well.

    Does anyone have an idea what's wrong with my After Effects?

    If you imported the PSD file with the blending modes defined this way instead of PNG ones, AE should have created Layer Styles property group. Drilling down this ownership group reveals the property opacity of fill under Merge-> Advanced Blending Options:

    In order to correct your design created from PNG files, you must export the layer with 100% Fill first, and then you add any layer Style of the layer-> Layer Styles menu (or right-click-> Layer Styles) - that creates the layer Style group property of the layer. After that, you are free to manually delete or just disable the eyeball and enjoy working with the only blending Options property group.
