• After effects CC 2015 stutters / small freezes in performance

  I installed after effects CC 2015 on a Mac Pro and constantly, it freezes and stutters. It does not crash, it's just that everything I do stutters. Through menus just stops and then continues, stops and continues. It's very frustrating and nothing in the settings change work experience. Just to clarify, there is NO software crashes, it is the performance of work which is like an experience "stop and go". Does not work like that at all. Does not matter if I content in a project, a project of own always like that.

  I managed to get to the bottom of my problem. I had an older version of installed Colorista which is somehow incompatible with CC 2015; It has also caused Media Encoder 2015 crashing, and when I removed it, AE 2015 started acting normally.

• 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.

• Cancellations multiple crashes After Effects

  Hi all!

  Lately I've known that After Effects hangs whenever I'm doing several cancellations in a row. I tried sending the report to Adobe, but it seems that they do not have a fix for this. Was able to find all the posts on the problem of anywhere. Anyone of you guys know the same thing?

  I'm running AE on MacBook Pro mid 2012 with 16 GB of memory and Nvidia Geforce GT 650M 1024Mo

  Best regards

  I'm sorry. I am running version 13.8.

  13.8.1?

  This is important.

  If you are, try clearing your cache preferences "disk and memory cache. This project is linked? It happens with all projects? We need to isolate the problem to the smaller measure, then we can understand that.

• New in After Effects 13.8.1 - with audio shape layers!

  

  I just wanted to share a little funny bug. the shape layer has no audio effect applied, and he still has an audio setting. It don't bother me much, although the last thing I need when I'm manipulating shape layers is another rocking to watch in the timeline panel

  Here are the steps to reproduce the problem in my current workstation:

  1 import audio into your composition - in my example, it was the WAV format. but you can add a solid layer with audio tone effect.

  

  2. put within a publication

  

  3 pre model the master model (no matter if it's a holiday attributes or move attributes) and get inside the demo

  

  4. Add a shape layer

  

  Here is my current workstation card:

  

  

  This happens once I reset my preferences. Please share if you encounter this bug too.

  Roei, thank YOU.

  We have received reports from several users on another problem, which we have not been able to reproduce: by clicking on the layer switches (solo, lock, motion blur, etc.) sometimes unnecessarily vortices open the properties of a layer.

  It turns out that this problem is related to what you just posted on the redundant audio properties. The problem of the twirling property only occurs on these same layers.

  The bug occurs when you work in a model that has been composed before and this model contains a layer with audio, when you add a new layer to this model (any type of layer except the cameras or lights), if this layer should not have audio it will win the audio properties in any case. When you click on a layer switch (for example, solo, lock, a blur of movement, etc.) these layers with redundant audio properties will be automatically twirl open their properties.

  This bug started After Effects 13.8.0. There are still in 13.8.1. I have described it in our bugs database and ask so that it can be fixed in our next release.

  The twirling of the property problem can't for layers that have real audio. for example, with audio images, or a solid with the effect of the tone. This does not happen for the layers without audio created before the bug conditions occur (computer pre composed containing a layer with audio).

  I found a few solutions workaround for this problem.

  The simplest solution is to add the effect of audio signal to the affected layers and then disable audio (the switch icon small speaker) for these layers. The problem only occurs on the layers that have no audio, so the addition and then cut audio takes layers on the bad state.

  There is another, more cumbersome workaround that effectively eliminates the redundant audio properties:

  1. In the model problem, select all the layers having audio.
  2. Remove (temporarily, it gets canceled at step 5) these layers.
  3. Select all the remaining layers (or at least those with the redundant audio properties).
  4. Activate a switch layer for all selected layers, such as Solo or lock. Redundant audio properties will disappear.
  5. Cancel twice: once to cancel the toggling the layer switch and a 2nd time to undo the deletion of step 2.

  Redundant audio properties won't return after the cancellation. Unfortunately, this only solves the problem for existing layers. Adding new layers will still get the attached redundant audio properties.

  In any case, my thanks to you once again, Yang, to post the steps to repro the problem. That's the key for me to discover the cause of the problem, much more annoying.

• Animation of track (After Effects) to animate gasket CC

  Hello

  I'm just using CC animate to produce banners of advertisement for the Google Adwords campaign a client in a HTML5 format after disappointing results with GIFs because of the limitations of frame rate in Google's advertising specifications.

  I am currently rebuilding an announcement in Animate. Although I can use Classic tweens and motion to reproduce some of the transitions that I had previously created in After Effects, I can't find any way to animate along a path. To clarify, I don't mean to animate a path, but rather to create a line in dashed that pushes along a path; something that was very simple to accomplish by using After Effects.

  After looking in the FAQ, I saw some members advising this creation in After Effects and export to Animate. However, as far as I can see, the export to flash (.swf, etc) options appear to have now been removed After effects.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Thank you!

  There is not a way automatic to animate the beginning and end of a path to animate.  Masking is your best bet.

  Here is a small example of how you can reveal lines using masking in Animate: Dropbox - MaskPath

  For a relatively straight line, you can just tween a rectangle to reveal.  For a closed line, you must do a little more animation frame-by-frame, but it is still fast enough.  This example took me less than 10 minutes.

• Lack codec h264 in after effect CC (2015)

  Hello.

  Miss me the h264 codec in after effect CC (2015). the problem persists for about a year. I have this codec in first pro, but not after the effect. What can I do?

  After effects encodes is more directly in H.264 (he didn't do a great job of it in the past). You can return an intermediate codec to EI or send your AE comp directly to Adobe Media Encoder.

  I almost always rendering directly to EI. This is because AE CC 2014 multiprocessing. So, I'll work in 2015 CC to enjoy snappier interface and open the project file in CC 2014 to make with multiprocessing (as my system can use this feature very well in most of the projects).

  Here's the Adobe blog about uninstalling: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2 and WMV videos get out of After Effects

  If you talk to a lot of Veterans around here, they will say that the AE h.264 encoder was buggy and did not do a good job. They call deletion "good riddance." The AE team is small enough, so put their resources to improve the work of EI to VFX compositing and motion graphics, and leave the team work Adobe Media Encoder encoding of things seems logical.

• best way to work between after effects and first pro - for titration?

  Recently, I went to Vegas and get the long ok with Premiere Pro. But I'm now ventured into After Effects, in an attempt to import certain models of text.

  First of all, what is the best workflow for using patterns of text effects. I would first of all the video, rendering and import the video into Ae where I can fine tune titles?

  Or do I have to import, sort, the work that I do in Ae in my project of Pr?

  The problem I have are in both cases.

  When I visited the titles of EI, of high quality, the returned product has major flaws, suddenly white fuzz as an old TV on an analog antenna.

  Or well, when I try to import the Pr Ae project, the Pr is in 1080 and 720 is the text in the template and so it seems smaller than is it supposed to be.

  Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

  Michael

  There are exceptions to every rule, but in the great majority of cases, unless it's a great project short, keep your first sequence in first and do not send it to AE. Design your titles that separate compositions in a file of After Effects project, then you can import these compositions in first without any made on whatever it is. You can even update the text inside the first without having to return to the AE. Performances are sometimes doubtful during playback, but it depends on your system and you can always create a preview of a file. More info here:

• After effects 2015 paralyzed rendering of the output

  After scratching my head about why my budget for a block of makes was far away, I noticed that the multi-core options are missing in 2015 of the AE. After a few tests, it seems that AE 2015 is slow to render that AE 2014 on iMac 2013 up to 6 x.

  Why is he out (like not a beta) if it's not ready? It's cost me time and money. Same hour in 2015 of the AE rendering is 11 min in AE 2014, which is absurd.

  Is there some settings that I might be missing or has Adobe screwed the dog on it?

  Adobe has screwed up.

  They did not communicate to their customers. The AE team has tried to talk to people from these changes, but few people know even that they have a blog, still less read: keep previous versions installed when installing applications CC 2015

  After that effects CC 2015 is not a full version of the software from previous versions in some way. It includes some handy new features and performance, but it doesn't have everything. This blog explains some it: features not available in after effects CC 2015 (13.7)

  AE CC 2015 is the first step in an major overhaul of the architecture, separating the rendering engine from the user interface for the first time in the history of AE 20 + years. It's a big job and it's clearly still ongoing. It is a necessary condition

  step to improve performance of After Effects, but it takes awhile (and versions) for them to pass through it. Thus, during this period of transition since they are the introduction of elements of the new

  architecture, it is sometimes easier to use the old version to do a job. How to find and install a previous Version of Adobe Apps in 2015 CC

  The AE team is too small to cross just as fast to do. Adobe seems to have AE a very high priority.

  A year ago the AE team asked to the user (on their blog) for your comments. Did we want them to continue to work as usual on AE or we like to focus on improving the speed and performance and not give us a lot of new features. Resounding we told them that we want focusing them on speed! If the majority of team æ (minuscule) work for more than a year to rewrite the code from the heart of EI. The performance of interactivity is much improved after effects CC 2015 (especially if you are updated to the 13.7.0), but improving rendering performance is not yet here. As they promised one of the blog posts I've linked, we should have the new engine in a future version. I hope it's soon!

  Recommend team AE (and I do): knit in 2015 CC to make use of the more vivid interface, the better management of the expression, etc. and then open this file project even in CC 2014 to return. (No need to "save under", something weird;) AE CC 2014 open AE CC 2015 projects very well.) This saves me time because I can work faster in 2015 CC - I don't have to wait as the rendering engine to catch up with me whenever I make a change. (It's really a significant improvement over the older versions.) And then I made just with CC 2014 and so I have the same speed as before rendering.

• One by one my plugins After Effects stop working, even after reinstalling AE

  Good,

  It is a strange.

  I got several plugins for After Effects crash and die in a row now. It started with one and it starts to look like a failure of plugins to work in the latest After Effects - even after their updating and reinstalling AE completely.

  What happens is the following; a plugin starts to give an error at startup (or same æ crashing completely). Can I remove the panels (or even from the folder scripts completely). The program works very well for another day or so with other plugins installed and anchored in the panels.

  The next day, another plugin no longer throw up another mistake of his own.

  No update or changes since, except using AE for hours.

  The cycle repeats; I remove this plugin, continue to use AE (feature slowly lose this way) and then the next day fails a few other plugins...

  There may be a third culprit somewhere, it might even be Java associate? Since there were a few updates in recent weeks?

  But this is the behavior I've seen so far. It's like a slow systemic breakdown and I don't know how to stop it. Purchased same plugins became useless for me.

  Anyone else knows a similar behavior? Or someone who has experience?

  The problem is the plugin related.

  It turns out that the fb-toolbar plugin had a bug which caused its preferences file massively inflate (600 MB +). Of course, it was not supposed to happen. I spoke with the developer of this plugin and everything's hunkydory now. Thank you!

• QuickTime in audio After Effects ignores the problem

  When I import a QuickTime video in After Effects, the sound skips (before doing anything it in AE). The sample rate is 48 kHz. The bitrate is 316 Kbps. I after effects CC2014. I am running Windows 8.1 Intel CPU Xenon, E3-1230 [email protected], 3.7 GHz I have 32 GB of RAM and 64 bit OS. I appreciate really anyone who can help!

  Audio compressed.  Ugh.  AE does not have audio compressed very well.  So here's what you do:

  In a different application - Adobe Media Encoder will do - just audio in wav or aiff format export.  Use instead of the audio on the video - just turn off small icon of speaker of the video layer in the comp.  Problem solved.

• Change of long clips for After Effects

  I have a 30 minute sequence I want to use to create special effects in After Effects.  I want to only use several small pieces (10 or 15 images) of the clip in After Effects.  I can't understand an easy way to find and change the 15 images in the film 30 minutes inside After Effects.  How can I identify the clips / images I want to use in After Effects.

  Uncompressed AVI have HUGE files sizes.  The Quicktimes I mentioned the quality of image, but to a much smaller file size.

• After effects CC or after effects CC (2014) - which use?

  I'm sure many of you have experienced this problem with creative cloud which, for some reason there are 2 version of each software - CC and CC version (2014).

  It seems that the 2014 version is the most up-to-date for AE, but I was under the impression that the software would simply be updated constantly as CC. Can anyone is clear to me please the versions to run as default value that its quite a nuisance having to update the 2 versions for each Adobe program. And now that we are in 2015 will be the 2014 gradually, versions or updated until 2015?

  The current version is after effects CC 2014 (13.2%). You can keep after effects CC (12.2.1) around if you wish; There are some features that have been removed from the new version to keep the old version around a small number of people.

  See the section 'why a new major release, not only one update of minor version?' here for an explanation of the reasons why we sometimes put a new version, not only an update:

• After Effects - general question

  I need of After Effects or some other piece of software for a specific project.  It goes to its strange, but I need to create a simple mobile point growing and smaller animation and rolls in and out of the screen.  I'll fix some sound effects in the background as well.   All the animation will run about 30 minutes.

  Is the best After Effects software for this project?   If this is not the case, what do you suggest?   Advice on all learning skills that I need to learn how to carry out this project would be greatly appreciated as well.

  Thank you!

  Nope.  There are too many fundamentals to learn just to get to the point of a project, even a simple.  There are too many ways that AE can you pipe.  Procedure step by step a new doing what you describe would extend far beyond the scope of a simple forum post.

  In short, AE is not any pony thing.  That is why Mylenium included this link.

• After Effects cropping my frames?

  I have a bunch of images that I put as well as some audio to the after-effects.  The problem is that even if I have all the images full size in jpeg format, when I put them in the aftermath of what he cultures as well as a small part the image is perceived.  The audio works fine and everything is aligned and I can make and save as a quicktime file, but when I play I always get only a small part of the image I want to see.  I tried to play via preview I take out to see if everything I do is fixing the problem, but it shows me my sequence in preview, just a static image, or nothing (and I have my selected composition, not just a single frame).  I tried right-clicking on the composition to go in the composition settings and adjust the width and height, but it shows me just a random frame in the middle of the sequence.  As I set the borders extend so I can see the full image, but when I gave everything and save it again the problem is not fixed.  Any suggestions?

  Real bases here to digital imaging. A pixel is a pixel. Your images are larger that your comp. is their scale in After Effects or resize them in Photoshop.
