an effect in the form of ps or the mask path

Hello forumers.

Ive done a ps form using my pen too, ive imported the psd file into after fx,.

and im trying to hide the effect of lightning in this form, ca this is how pls?

Thank you.

It's things very 101...

Once you have your précomposé, you can copy and paste your PS on the precomposed layer mask.  Chances are that if your PS document and your AE comp are exactly the same size, things don't line up perfectly, but you can then change the mask to adapt.

The best route is creating a matte off your mask, which means paste the mask to another layer, and then using the alpha information created by this mask for "matte" the precomp.  But this requires some understanding of the logic of the AE.  Do you know how to set a track matte?

  • Adaptive resolution while adjusting the mask path

    This is something that has been driving me crazy for a while. Whenever I have set a mask path, the resolution of the preview window falls to 1/2 and displays the words 'resolution' adaptive (1/2) appears in the upper right of the preview window.

    This makes it very difficult to make precise adjustments. Is there a way to prevent the loss of resolution when traces of mask setting? I tried, without success, change Adaptive resolution settings in the preferences panel.

    Fine thanks

  • Sticking points of the position of a mask path to a position of writing - brush

    Hello

    After effects so something VERY strange - I create a pen path by drawing a power signature in sequels (see pink path in the attached screenshot), then I click on'm "shortcut to bring up the mask path. I make sure that the mask path is selected, then I copy. I add the traced effect and in the position of the brush, I paste the mask path points. I did exactly that way in the past but I've lost my marbles or some weird preference is set to make smaller glued track points and nowhere near the same position that I took so much time to draw! Why? How can he stick more small and somewhere else? (green points will be the points of the brush to write it on the effect) Please help - I can't know what's the problem here - tried during the past 6 hours: O

    I need to reveal the original image with the writing on the effect I do not understand why it doesn't work this time.

    Thank you SO so MUCH!

    I guess that this model will be used as a model nested within a model of other dimensions.

    Make sure that this model dimensions and pixel format matches the layer.  The traced effect should then work correctly.

    If you want to use the effect on another layer - a solid, perhaps--make - you use the size of the model for solid.

  • How can I get my mask path to show instead of the mask shape dialog box?

    Hello

    I've recently updated to AE CS6 and to see why can't get my mask path to show. I want to create a simple mask that drives from point A to point B, thus revealing an object in my composition slowly. In CS5, all I had to do was click on the mask path Stop Watch and the yellow mask with spikes of pen and Bezier handles appear around my object. I could then create another keyframe and change the shape of the mask with my pen/selection tool that will create the desired effect. However, in CS6 when I add a mask to my object and click on the stopwatch for mask path mask yellow appears.

    You probably have the visibility of the mask off in the comp window.  Turn it back on again.

  • Mask path is not correctly copy to a position of the Null object

    I created a mask path to an animated logo which is the basic text. To track the letters correctly I created a mask path and used the handles of the tangent to the curve at the edges.

    When I copy the mask on a position of objects Null path, it copies OK but all the curves have disappeared. I tried to adjust again with the tangent handles, but it does no good curves, they are still gaps. Is it possible to copy the mask path and keep the curves? I have attached a few photos so that you can see the difference between the two. Any help on this would be appreciated.

    AHHHH I got it!

    the reason you see this jagged line is the time interval by default of the path to the technique of the post is 2 seconds and there is not enough frames here to cover everything that you hide the curves of the path to a path of accurately. It must simply more images to interpolate exactly as you drew it since there many vertices and not enough frames to store this information in. as soon as you drag the last keyframe of a more reasonable of images amount, your tween will be fine and not serrated.

    short time duration - less frames - motion in stairs:

    longer time - more pictures - smooth motion:

    example of the final result. you have to experiment just how long you need it to be exact vs winding movement you want

  • I can not import PSD file to After effect in the form of composition.

    I can not import PSD file to After effect in the form of composition.

    When I try to import the PSD file according to the effect CC (2015) as a composition, AE will stop responding and then I have to close and restart the application.

    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.

  • Bug in dialog box "... the form" adjustment of the mask?

    I just posted this in the Adobe bug report, but wanted to make sure it is a bug of software, not a personal fault. Did anyone else encounter this problem and have you found a solution?  Thank you!

    Problem: Definition left and right side a rectangular mask to the same number in the mask dialog box "Form."... "causes the mask to be unusable.

    Steps to reproduce the Bug:

    1. create a new model of px 500 x 500, new comp solid size and double-click Rect. mask tool to create a full size mask.

    2 adjust the mask using the "Shape" dialog box to set the left and right to 250. Output dialog.

    3.re - enter in the dialog box and try to make any changes to the left and to the right, or try to reset the rectangular box.

    Results:

    The changes will not be saved out of the dialog box.  This is the case when you work with keyframes or not. It should also be noted that if a mask is done this way, then a new keyframe, the mask is "reset", the shape will not change, but I noticed that points are.

    It seems that when the mask sharing the left and right sides identical, it confuses the points and cannot properly open the mask up.

    Hi Greg,.

    I saw your bug report and was able to reproduce the problem.

    The problem occurs only when the left/right or up/down pairs have exactly the same value. Changing the value of the left or top will also change the law or low value, respectively. and change the value to the right or bottom is not saved when you OK from the dialog box.

    My hunch is that this bug is related to the logic in the form of mask Panel that corrects the values so that the left value can never be greater than the fair value or the value never greater than the background value. (This logic ensures that left is always left or right and top are always above the background.)

    This bug seems to have been in After Effects at least several years (9.0 or a previous version). Anyway, apologies for the disruption.

  • Effect of the AE Question: anyone know what effect is it? like stop motion

    Hello guys, someone knows what kind effect on 00-00: 12:22 or 00:27-00:40?
    It's like having the texture of moving like that on zinoun hogan (person at 0012-0022) or water 0027-0040
    It's like we have texture moving at random, anyone know what effect or technique makin something like that?

    You can do it with a matte on an adjustment layer or you could use animated masks and increase the mask effects using the options of composition in 2014 CC or LATER version. You could also blur some form and pleasant layers with blend modes and opacity to simulate lighting effects. You can also use a layer with transparency as a gobo (matte) for a light if all layers have been 3D. It's all layers. You just have to play until you get what you want. If you do not know caches or Compositing options please use the search box in help in the upper right the AE to understand how they work.

    This:

    Looks like you could recreate using a vibrant gobo and a light on 3D layers. I have a light that shines through a pole with a bunch of masks. Something like this:

    But there are a zillion ways to make the same look.

  • effects on liquid forms

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a way to animate liquid effects on my shape layers. A few days, I am looking for tutorials, but with no good result.

    Liquid components after effects model After Effects project Videohive - YouTube

    As you can see on 0:05 and 0:14 seconds.

    Is it animation frame by frame? And is it feasible to layer 1 shape? What is an effect?

    I hope someone can help me get these oragnic/liquid type of animation.

    Thank you!

    The technique is at 6 seconds in the video:

    The liquid elements are simply elements of sequences that can be used as mattes. There are 1 million ways to create liquid appearance. You can liquid film, such as a paint or ink is pores or splashed on the display panel and then treat this film in a cache of high contrast. You can create within After Effects using the shape layers and distorting. The trick used in the creation of the transition to the: 14 is simply a cache by approach applied to a layer which was probably a demo model or nested elements of the nature and the form.

    If you want to create your own, take your smart phone and a piece of paper and some inks and something that looks like this by dropping ink on paper film: I'm just a glass filled with water and dropped two drops of ink in there with a piece of paper behind it and got this:

    A mask, a solid that corresponds to the color of the background and an adjustment layer curves gives me this.

    You could add invert, and then move the luminance of picking alpha channels, then invert again to create an alpha channel, or I could just nest the comp and use it as a cache of luminance to create a transition. A better option would be to make this model as images, save it in your library if you can use it in other projects, or as the guy who created the project videohive as you watch the clips for sale to others.

    From start to Finnish, it took me about 10 minutes to shoot this video in the yard of back with my iPhone, air, drop it on the desktop, create the model and set up the project to get the results here:

    I took an extra couple of minutes to set up the phone on a tripod and take a little time to get the best point I could have sold the clip made as stock footage. I think it looks really cool. It opens up many possibilities.

  • BUG - in flash pro CC, "bold" and "italics" TextFormat properties have no effect on the rendered text

    Concise problem statement:

    If you compile with CC pro flash and use the method "setTextFormat' of a TextField, the 'fat' and 'italic' argument of TextFormat properties have no effect on the rendered text. If you compile with flash pro CS6, 'fat' and 'italic' properties work as expected.

    Apparently, the only way to make the text to display correctly with flash pro CC, is to change the name of the font (add the suffix "Bold", "Italic", or "Bold Italic".) This means code that dynamically changes the font styles only works in CS6 or CC, but not both. By example, if you use the "bold" text property makes daring in CS6 and regular CC, whereas if you change the name of the font to add the suffix "Bold", the text makes daring in CC and DOES NOT at all in CS6. It is therefore difficult for a team to CS6 in the CC of transition.

    Steps to reproduce the bug:

    1. create an xfl 2 TextFields on stage, as well with the font "Trebuchet MS" and "regular" style, a named boldTrueText that contains the string "" BOLD"= true", a named fontNameText that contains the string "fontName ="BOLD"Trebuchet MS". Create 2 more TextFields on the stage of Visual reference, both with a font "Trebuchet MS", one with the 'regular' style, one with ' bold '.

    2. Add the following code in the Actions Panel on frame 1:

    import flash.text.TextFormat;

    import flash.text.Font;

    var format: TextFormat = boldTrueText.getTextFormat ();

    format. Bold = true;

    boldTrueText.setTextFormat (format);

    format = fontNameText.getTextFormat ();

    format.font = "Trebuchet MS bold";

    fontNameText.setTextFormat (format);

    var fonts: Array = Font.enumerateFonts (), count: int = fonts.length;

    for (var i: int = 0; i < count; i ++) {}

    var make: police = fonts [i];

    trace ("fontName:" + font.fontName + ", fontStyle:" + font.fontStyle);

    }

    3. Save and compile with flash CS6 pro and flash pro CC.

    Results:

    With flash CS6 pro, "" BOLD"= true" makes "BOLD", and "fontName ="BOLD"Trebuchet MS" IS NOT RENDERED.

    With flash CS6 pro, what follows is drawn:

    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: "BOLD"

    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular

    With flash pro CC, '"BOLD" = true' makes regular, and "fontName ="BOLD"Trebuchet MS" makes "BOLD".

    With CC pro flash, what follows is drawn:

    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular

    fontName: Trebuchet MS bold, fontStyle: "BOLD"

    Expected results:

    The same text is rendered in flash CS6 and CC pro. I don't know why this behavior has been changed in flash CC pro - it causes silent failures in the code that dynamically changes the font styles. I expected the CS6 flash pro behavior remain the same in the CC, as follows:

    With flash pro CC, "" BOLD"= true" makes "BOLD", and "fontName ="BOLD"Trebuchet MS" IS NOT RENDERED.

    With CC pro flash, what follows is drawn:

    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: "BOLD"

    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular

    If you do not break backward compatibility (to others), you can do both behaviors works in flash pro CC, as follows:

    With flash pro CC, "" BOLD"= true" makes "BOLD" (the police is always 'Trebuchet MS'), and "fontName ="BOLD"Trebuchet MS" also makes "BOLD".

    With CC pro flash, what follows is drawn:

    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: "BOLD"

    fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular

    fontName: Trebuchet MS bold, fontStyle: "BOLD"

    I introduced this bug with the form of bug and also with adobe bugbase (in case it is not obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix.  Has anyone else encountered this bug?

    Thank you for reporting this issue. As a result of your efforts, it is reproducible and reported internally.

    Will update here once the fix is available.

  • Sword cutting effect with the fall of paper

    Okok title is a pahrd little to understand, I try to explain

    I want to create an effect where

    I use a sound of a sword that slash 3 - 4 times

    I want to make one: conscientious objector a text or something hide by a black screen to 'cut' the black screen and make the screen black fall apart as jigen in lupin when he cut something and then the object will fall in a few pieces BUT the position of fall must be from the original of the form

    like I have a circle that hide the word Hello

    I use the sound of the sword to give the idea of the Cup

    the piece of the beginning black circle (not like particle effect) in the fall, in the example, I'm doing 4 slash then the circle is divided into 4 pieces which will fall to reveal his hide text

    the text is not a problem, I just want to know how do this effect, can't find any example of video on the internet

    If it's still confusing check this screenshot.  That's how I would do at least.

    a.) do an elliptical mask on your layer

    (b) press the key, then click and drag while pressing the command key to align the anchor at the corner of the center of your layer.

    (c.) and then duplicate the first layer and change the rotation to 90

    (d.) duplication with the second layer and change the rotation to 180

    (e.) duplicate the third layer and change the rotation to 270

    f.) and then clean your masks to get rid of the white in the middle of your form gaps so that it looks like everything.

  • Apply effects to the Source Clips?

    Hello!


    Forgive my ignorance, but I'm jumping in the first feet first with little prior experience.  I'm working on digital images of Super 8, but all I have is currently still in the negative form.  I am trying to apply some initial effects to see images properly (desaturation and reversal), but I can't seem to apply effects to the source items if they are not already in the timeline panel.  As you can probably understand, what makes abutment a difficult film.

    I used a copy of Final Cut Express earlier this evening, and which seemed commonality with the source clips (i.e. apply initial impact) pretty well.  First there the same functionality?  It is quite frustrating.

    Thanks for the help!

    Dave

    That cannot be done in the first.

    Edit: just thinking a bit more about your dilemma.

    You can create an adjustment with the FX layer you want and edit in the timeline panel.

    Adjustment layer on your source footage of the layer on video 1 and Video 2.

  • How to get the text have the same effect as the video?

    Hello

    For the first time post here, but I wonder how to get the text of the titles have the same effect as the video behind her.

    For my video, I use 'bad tv' and other effects such as Gaussian that obviously changes the appearance of video, creating the look of VHS. However, I then inserted text via the title, but it normally appears. How can I make this text have the same effects as the video behind it?

    A friend told me I might need to add text to the video first, then do the effects, I have not tried, but wonder if there is an easier way, as this would require me to restart.

    EDIT: That's what I'm looking for. https://youtu.be/7_2PHQI89dI?t=24s The text has the same effect as the video.

    Thank you

    One way is to create a clip made up based on the title and the original clip. Then apply the effect.

    Another way is to use an adjustment layer.

    Good luck.
