• After Effects masking and tracking of a whiteboard

  Hey all

  I really struggle with an ongoing project...

  In my film, I have people holding a white board with a black frame. The sentences are written on the white area.

  Some of the writing on the Whiteboard is not visible because light bounces off it...

  I need to hide the Whiteboard area and it follow the Board changes slightly with the movement of people and then add some text in the mask...

  I have to create a mask and then add a layer of shape on it... If so how can the shape layer follow the mobile layer mask?

  or I'm going in the wrong direction with this?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Looks like your mask has too many paths of access or summits. Try to turn on caps lock shift before you open the ASP (project file) or before you launch AE. If this does not clear your Cache and preferences. If this does not resolve the problem, we need workflow details that let you to this error.

• After effects CC 2015: allows you to set a mask a solid?

  Hi gang,.

  You have a question.  I work with a 3D text (using the rendering engine Ray Trace) and using a solid with fractal noise on it as an environmental layer, thus giving the text reflects a texture.  Thing, the fact that way delete the alpha channel, which means that I have to attend make it twice - once so he could make the text, and then again for me render only separated (without the environmental layer) alpha version, I have to then composite using first.

  Obviously a lot of time to do it this way.  I read that it is possible to use solid materials function as masks, but no matter what I do, even with the grid transparency enabled, After Effects, still shows me a black background.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Why not turn off the middle layer? You can do only appear in reflections.

• 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?

  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 effects CC shapes and masks out of scale

  so I've had after effects installed for about a month and a half now, but all of a sudden all the masks, particles and all are out of proportion, I don't know what happened... I really need help because im showing a YouTube channel and I need to make my outro

  You are probably working in a mockup that has non-square pixels. Check the settings of Composition. Try to turn on Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction in the Composition Panel. If you don't know what I'm talking about type of pixels in the field find help in the upper right of the AE and study the first 3 links.

• How to add the mask into effect reference is Options for Composition with after effects CC 2014?

  The main reason why I'm updating my After Effects with cc 2014 is "composition for each effect options, including the ability to limit the area affected by each of the effects with masks". This useful feature really simplify my work. But now I realize that I want to use the script function.

  I get Composition Options the effect name and matchName.It looks like this:

  Name	Name	Name	Name	propertyValueType	Remove
  Composition options				undefined	ADBE effect built in Params
  	Masks			undefined	Effect ADBE Mask Parade
  		Reference mask 1		undefined	ADBE effect mask
  			Reference mask 1	MASK_INDEX	Flow path ADBE effect Ref
  	Opacity of the effect			OneD	ADBE mask opacity

  I try to use .canAddProperty ("ADBE effect mask") and .canAddProperty ("ADBE Path flow Ref effect"). However, it returns false.

  I found that add or delete this property in the user interface are the buttons '+' and '-', so maybe I can use app.executeCommand (app.findMenuCommandId (theCommand)); However, I can't find that button name because it does not have a helpTips to remind me of the name.

  So how do you add the mask with script reference? Or ESTK has no permissions to access this useful property so far? I have not found anything on the Internet.

  Moreover, I have an another two quick questions:

  1. If there is more than two masks in a layer, remove for each mask is the same ("ADBE Mask Parade") ("ADBE Mask Atom"). How can I use the Remove to get the second mask such as the name property? First I treat like a table, but ("ADBE Mask Parade") ("ADBE Mask Atom') [index] actually did not work, so that ("ADBE Mask Parade") (" ADBE Mask Atom'") (index) is referring to the child property altogether in the first mask. I have no idea about it.

  2. when I use the method property() with script, property ('effect'), and property("effect") are all the two ok. The only difference in the method is the single quotes ' and the Quotation brands "." I just want to know if the "and" have any difference in the method property (), except that "this color is blue" and "this color is purple" in ESTK.

  The advice and the answer would be appreciated.

  Yes you can add masks to the effects by script.

  If "fx" is a fx on a layer:

  var fx.compositingOption = co;                                  or fx.property ("ADBE effect Built In Params')

  var fxMasks = co.mask;                                            or co.property ("ADBE mask Parade"): INDEXED_GROUP j

  fxMasks.canAddproperty ("ADBE effect mask");    true

  var fxMask = fxMasks.addproperty ("" ADBE effect mask");

  fxMask.maskReference.setValue (1);                        or fxMask.property ("ADBE effect way Brook Ref") .setValue (1);

  If you can do short

  fx.compositingOption.mask.addProperty("ADBE Effect Mask").maskReference.setValue(1);

• After effects CC / CC encoder Media rendering bug after the last update version 13.8.0.144 / 2015.3

  Hello community,

  After the last update CC, I have a big problem. There is a problem of sound reproduction of the AE through the Media Encoder. When I export directly from AE everthing is fine but when I send the export files via dynamic links to the Media Encoder I get wrong its encoded at the last second of the clip. Curiosly there is a part of the track to another point on the same track in there. There is a sharp break and then in the last second you can hear just a random sound fragment (in this case a femal voice). It's hard to describe. Here's a link wetransfer where you can hear what I'm talking about.

  Like many I noticed it any project, how often or which format settings... it's always the result. We are doing on the production of air... I need to solve this urgent problem.

• Navigation on the bridge of After effects

  I am learning effects and got to the "Classroom in a book" section, which deals with navigation in Bridge by clicking on "Browse in Bridge. I have the latest versions of the two After effects CC and CC Bridge installed. However, when I try to browse in Bridge of after effects bridge rises and I am able to navigate to the folder I want to (in this case text animations) but then bridge freezes solid or I could get a notice that After Effects does not recognize these files (extension .ffx) and the only way I can release a bridge is to use the force quit option. What's wrong?

  For the last several versions of AE and Bridge did not play very well together. If your CC applications are all up to date and you are still having problems, then your system has a bug, probably caused by some dirty text in one of the AE user library files. Personally I don't think it's worth a try and sort. You will find it much faster to just use the effects and presets Panel and read the descriptions of the presets, then test them in AE. I find that all of the preset animations provided with AE are just a convent of departure. I never used on any job without making some serious changes. I always use a small number of them as point of departure, but once figure you it out how animation of text work you be better off and work faster by applying only one of the presets is kind of what you want and then after pressing the button U twice to reveal all the changed the text layer properties You can play with the settings and even add multiple hosts to achieve the desired effects.

• First has a function of snapshot as After Effects?

  Hello

  I use After Effects SHIFT - F5 to take and display snapshots all the time. But first have an equivalent? I know I can use the camera icon to SAVE a snapshot, then import it, then view it, but this seems really bulky. I do a calibration of the colors in the first and you want to store and discovers a frame of reference at the touch of a button, just like I would in AE. I searched around but still just results of After Effects!

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

• Gray borders around white video in After Effects

  Hi, I'm doing hundreds of training films with a greenscreen who later gets a white background. This looks cool in white website, however, sometimes, the video have a gray border. In this case cpmpletely RANDOMLY. I know, because we produce them all in the same way... It seems that it is an Adobe Bug of some sorts. I really hope that someone can help you. It really is time to export the same video three or four times, just so that there be no gray the fourth time at the border. (To be clear: I do not use *.) PNG, or *. PSD or any key to chroma, just on a solid white After Effects). I know that this happens in Adobe Media Encoder as wel as in After Effects. Once again, quite randomly. For most borderless, but sometimes the border grey.

  

  

  UPDATE: the bug isn't in Adobe AE. I'm the bug. In some of the video I didn't put a solid white background, only a white background in the composition settings. When I placed a white soilid in this sequence, the grey line disappeared...

  Rick Gerard and Roei Tzoref, thanks for your help anyway!

• After Effects effects/unsaturated layers of loading

  Hi guys,.

  I googled and searched the forums of people with them even issue but can not find someone else has this exact problem. I appreciate any help anyone can give me. I worked on my short film VFX in After Effects in my spare time for about the last 6 months... But recently, after a windows update, something happened in my project that is hard to explain.

  
  I use a lot of pre-rendered effects and 3rd party plugins (mainly Action Essentials, 3D, video and special Neat item) and for some reason any randomly, after updated Windows Update a couple of weeks, all my belongings in the project are loading in black and white/unsaturated. All new effect that I charge is fine, but everything has lost its color and nothing that I don't bring him back. We're talking hundreds and hundreds of pre-rendered effects.

  I created a video of the broadcast and transferred > https://vimeo.com/179858249/a5f8aca176
  It may be easier to understand than reading about it. Anything that might require an update (CC, GPU, BONE etc.) has been updated to its latest version.

  Thanks again! =)

  It seems that the problem is related to problems of color PNG + ALPHA introduced in since his arrival in a native PNG decoder in Ae 13.8.1. Try the tips from Tim Kurkoski Re: native support for png QT into AE 13.8.1. BUG also feel free to contact him on answers to his questions, he as he asks in his post. and please update on the results.
