After effects help needed

Hi, I have just a few quick questions.  Say I'm a model which is 15 seconds long.  After 5 seconds, I did something I wanted to do with a camera.  Is it now OK to create a new camera in the same model and do something else?  If I create a new camera, should I give it parameters similar to what my old camera ends?

Second, similar to the above, I did the first 5 seconds which essentially used a 2D texture.  Now, I want to zoom in on which requires a 3D texture.  So, I have reproduced the texture and it started from there where it is necessary to start, and I did 3D.  I then added a new camera and a null object.  When I then try to parent of the object null with the camera, my 3D texture becomes weird, as if he is really zoomed in on it.  Is there a reason why this might happen?  Without parenting, the texture is where I want it to be.

Thank you

Is it now OK to create a new camera in the same model and do something else?

Yes. You can add as many cameras as you like, but only the highest one will be used for final rendering in areas where they overlap.

If I create a new camera, should I give it parameters similar to what my old camera ends?

Obviously Yes, if you want to keep the same look.

Is there a reason why this might happen?  Without parenting, the texture is where I want it to be.

You use a wrong workflow. Just assign something to 3D will always do so originally - the middle of the comp, Z is equal to zero. That, however do not reflect properly all 2D layers in the comp and can explain your problems of parenting - your camera, simply, is positioned relative to the value Null and null value is not in the right place. so in so many words: you have it all backwards. Decide how address you these things before you start and even configure eitehr in 3D complete with your camera platform correctly in place already or 2D, but do these crazy things. It is required to put an end to the chaos. Even if you can fix it now, it will come back to haunt you later if you need to adjust something in the project. I also recommend you to read a bit in the help. You seem powerful confused and your incorrect use of terminology is confusing to people like me.

  • Searching after effects help

    I had intended to ask this question for a while:

    I'm a fool, or is there no way to search only the After Effects help documentation?

    When I'm using AFter Effects (F1) there are two search field, and whichever one I use

    It seems search all adobe rather than just the After Effects documentation.

    I get results documentation, forum questions and other products Adobe ect...

    I just don't know how to use help or is this normal?

    [Updated title to aid clarity. - Mod.]

    When you press F1 and land on the effects of Adobe help page, you can enter your search terms, do the research and then on the results page select 'Support' to filter only support documentation Adobe and tutorials. You can also filter on product (s). Does that help?

    Hey everybody...

    Anyone know how to import my After Effects project in first (NON PRO)

    You cannot share a calendar between After Effects and Premiere Elements, you can with the suite CS5.

    But if you export your finished work of After Effects as a DV - AVI (for standard def video) a HDV-MPEG (for hi-def) you can certainly import this video in a Premiere Elements project

  • After effects RAM needs 2 or more images for playback

    ADOBE,

    IT IS TIME TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM *, IMMEDIATELY!

    I have read a few forums dated the month.  This problem must be in an update immediately, name of God:)

    If it is the RAM that was mentioned before that happens in CC 2014 when the timeline with audio scrubbing, the solution is in an update which is coming up in a month or two. Personally, I want to release him only when they are ready for the update causes more bugs.

    In the meantime, you can work in CC instead of 2014 CC make any audio rub you need to do. (You can save as CC, if you need to get a project 2014 CC to be compatible with the previous version). This bug should be interfering with any your work so that the issue does not appear in the CC. The previous version of the CC is available from app CC as shown here: CC help | Install, update, or uninstall applications

    If it is a different matter entirely, we need much more information to help you. FAQ: what information should I provide when asking a question?

  • Need help with text in After Effects

    Hello!

    I'm new with After Effects and need help with something that should be simple.

    I use the effect of the stroke and Freehand drawing, and I'm trying to get the text to go from left to right, but for some reason any, that it seems to be random.

    Any ideas?

    Click and drag as you would layers.

    If you're new to AE, it would be a good idea to take a step back, take some time and go through these resources. Have solid foundation in how AE work will make things go a lot faster and with much less frustration.

  • After Effects behind with just 14 seconds of clips

    Initially, I shot a lot of video with a Canon Vixia HF G30 in AVCHD. When I realized that Mac cannot read this format correctly, I used handbrake to convert them to MP4 using the H.264 codec. I am all videos stored on an external hard drive of 1 TB and dragging into a folder on my desktop when I need them. I imported 2 clips in my composition in After Effects totally 14 seconds of video. I can't do anything in AE. I try to slide the clip in position and moves it to a very small amount and then crashes. I have a MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM, 6 GB of which dedicate themselves to After Effects.

    I have worked with After Effects several times but never had that bad of a problem with such a tiny amount of sequences. I think that perhaps it would be too big of a file of suggestions on how to convert it into a smaller file without loss of quality would be very useful. Thank you very much.

    I am the preview by pressing the space bar

    Ah. Found your problem! You misunderstand how to use After Effects! AE is not a real-time editing application. It is a composer based on pixels. As any composer based on pixels, you must return an overview. And sometimes it can take very long to make depending on your effects. You should not press SPACEBAR to preview. After effects help. Preview

    Because you didn't know how to do something as simple as the preview, I'll suggest to take a big step back and start here: starting After Effects

    There are probably a TON of useful stuff you need to know that you have missed.

    I had staples of 14 seconds that took a lot more than 2 hours to make. You just have to know to set up your scene correctly and how to work with the software. All your problems come from not understanding how the After Effects (or how to work with After Effects).

  • How to generate HTML5 files after effects CC?

    Hello

    Forgive my n00b question, but I have built a small video in After Effects, I need to import into Adobe Edge animate. Edge says it will take files .ogg, then how to convert an After Effects project for printing usable images available at the sources of the HTML5?

    Thanks again,

    Rich

    Rick (and anyone else's work through this issue):

    I got this info when I posted this same question on the forums of edge animate, I hope it helps :-)

    Hi rich,

    Unfortunately, Adobe Media Encoder is taken in native support for ogg/theora or ogg/vorbis. However, you can install a (currently beta) plug-in on your system that will allow encoding ogg in SOUL:

    fnordware/AdobeOgg · GitHub

    Or, if you prefer, you can also install the Firefogg Firefox extension and code to ogv directly from Firefox:

    Firefogg - video and audio encoding for Firefox

    I had excellent results using the two methods above.

  • Error ' after effects requires two or more frames at Playback ' AE CC 2014

    In recent days, After Effects has been giving me the most frustrating error. Almost everytime acronym, I try to RAM Preview, it is said 'After effects a need two or more frames to read' and will be ram not preview.

    I'm on Mac OSX 10.9.3, Mavericks have 8 GB of RAM, 2.2 GHZ i7. This problem seems to persist despite the amount of RAM I allocate for After Effects (AE currently has 7 GB, leaving 1 GB for other applications) it also happens with multithreading enabled and disabled.

    In addition, do not know if it's related, but everytime I open AE, it is extremely fast and responsive, which allows me to drag the layers around the model at full resolution without lag. After be opened for half an hour or so, solid flow 2 second behind every action, and any time I touch any layer in the comp, Adaptive resolution brings my screen down to 1/8th of quality. It is to be expected on a computer with my listing?

    Thank you

    The leak memory scrub audio that leads to this error has now been corrected. Try After Effects CC 20141 or later version (internal version 13.1).

  • Need help choosing a new computer to run After Effects

    Hi all

    I waited to buy a desktop computer until I could set up something really good, but running After Effects on my laptop is not just cut it.  It slows down everything and when you try to use the feature plays only 6 frames per second. That being said, I need something that will give me better performance than my laptop but don't break the Bank.  (That way I can still move to a more desirable machine.)  I'm a noob when it comes to shopping for computers that go beyond the disk space and wifi, so I asked around, but honestly I'm more often conflicting opinions . I said the most important GPU, I said GPU is not serious at all.  It goes the same for the CPU.  I was also told that it's okay if I get something with integrated graphics on dedicated, etc.. This is where I hope you guys can help, since you actually understand the program I run.

    I would buy something already built, so I don't have to worry about what anyone screwing.  I've been thinking to get a desktop computer cheap off of ebay (as long as it will work better than my laptop) and then adding on it, but I don't know if it's the wiser decision.  All desktop computers can still be improved or they hit a point where they are worthless?

    Here are the specifications of my laptop:

    Windows 10 home

    Intel core i3 cpu M380 @ 2.53 GHZ

    4 GB of ram (3.80 GB usable)

    64 bit

    1 TB HARD disk drive

    Intel HD (internal) graphics with a total of 1696 MB graphic memory and 64 MB dedicated video memory


    Is there something out there that would be more fluid than my laptop, but for cheap AE?  Here are a few I've been Watch: Dell Optiplex 960 (3 GHz Quad Core Q9650 / 4 GB RAM / 160GB HDD)

    IBM Thinkcentre M58 PC Windows 7 Pro Desktop Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz/8 GB / 250 GB HD with intergrated graphics

    A generation custom (with integrated graphics), including: Card mother Z87 - G41 / 8 GB RAM FURY HYPER / Gear solid 400w PSU / LG DVD PLAYER / INTEL PROCESSOR (3.2GHZ) G3258 / 240GB Sandisk Ultra II SSD / MSI cases


    And this one: AMD 4.2 Ghz Quad Core 8 GB RAM 1 TB Hdd/integre graphic.

    Thank you in advance for your help!




    For AE the only things that really affect performance are the cores, clock speed and memory.

    We must look at least an i7 quad core systems with hyper threading (6 or 8 core is much better, but more expensive) and at least 32 GB of memory. You must also at least two SSD, one for the OS, one media and projects. The video card is completely irrelevant for AE, any card $ 30 is sufficient.
