Animating JPG containing particles

Hello people of land of After Effects.

One of my clients gave me a jpg containing a logo. The logo is made up of small particles which together form a shape of a light bulb.

I wan't to make an existing animation of this bulb of particles and that explosions to break all around. Is there a normal amount of work to this effect in After Effects? Or is it possible that by hand, which in my case will take too long.

Thank you for all the answers! Have a great day!

Direct them,

Domen

You can count on Rick for a solution simple and subtle. I forgot how powerful and useful effect glow really is. now because of you and Rick, I learned something new and dug for this purpose with your image. It is therefore the ventilation to do what (Rick, correct me please ANYTIME). What lack me in experience, I make up in vigorous research in the right way. and detailed messages. So here it is:

1. remove the bulb in photoshop, leaving just the breast. You can do this in a number of ways: I used select-> color range for 95% of it. and the other manually with the polygon Lasso tool.

2. another layer should be just x and do more to copy paste until it looks like this.

I just copy pasted the Red again and again on top of the other and makes a dynamic object and it masked under the shape of the bulb so that the Psd file should look like this:

AE configuration is the following:

1. I duplicated the Red layer and make a precomp out of it-> leave attributes - this will be my card to tell the effect that we are about to add, how burst based on the color values.

2 listen to this, it took me over an hour to figure out why the layer was not explode properly by simply using itself! you need the layer to be divided somehow by color, otherwise it will be a big piece that is, if the color of the bulb x information is connected - I won't get it separations between the exploded forms... instead, I had a big form falling downwards and a couple of ugly x so I need make the space between them. in the precomp I used color range effect to make transparent holes between the x (PS I used black contour layer Style to make the layers look the same and it is suitable for matte extraction because it is very different from the Red) just enough to make my red layer in the brilliance of master computer properly. (I the two windows open and examine the issue I'm working)

now in my hand Comp I applied to burst. my boss set to Custom, then set it to my personalized card to break my Precomp card we did before. has increased my RADIUS so the explosion will be wide enough. and so that effect not to crops by the boundaries of the layer, I added our old friend "Grow Bounds' effect and increased the value of the Pixels.

ended up with this:

now please give me your customer details so I can pick up my check. FACT

  • animated jpg - how is that possible?

    I recorded this file on Mac and Windows 10 and expected to see it as a .gif by .jpg in the name, but the two operating systems tell me that it is actually a .jpg file. What is this ritual?  haha.  I don't have the memo on support .jpg for animation.  Please explain.

    Thank you!

    I heard that you can save a gif file and then change the jpg extension and it still operates as a gif, but I think that sites are for wise to that and block. I have not tried this by opening the file changed on my system in a browser. What have you tried?

  • Is it possible to create an object using Trapcode Form and then use that object as a particle in Trapcode particular?

    I made a few objects in Cinema 4 d and I tried to import them into after effects CC 2014.  I get an error saying "Cannot find Adobe Premiere Pro Dynamic Link".  So I tried in AE CC and that worked.  However, I would like to create a form object and then use it as a particle Trapcode particular.  Is it still possible?

    Thanks for any help!

    You can use almost anything in any publication as a particular particle. However, the particles will be actually 3 dimensions. You can simulate a 3d look by the presence of an object revolving in a precomp and loop as the animation of the particle, but not otherwise.

  • Use the commands of the expression to preset animations...

    I have several preset animations that contain expressions with expression control sliders. When I apply the animation preset to a layer, it adds the commands of expressions in the effect controls panel as usual and everything works fine.

    However, if I add another animation preset to the same layer there is no add a double set of options for expressions (with a number appended to the name 2) instead of just replace existing ones. I realize that the preset detected a duplicate name, that's why the 2 has been added... but the real expression has not been updated to use the new name of control of expression. So basically, the expression still refers to the original name and completely ignores the game duplicate of the controls in the expression that was created.

    If anyone knows a way to get an animation preset to replace or upgrade options for existing expressions that use the same name?

    You must rename your controls of expression. This will solve the problem if all names are unique. If you apply the same predefined animation twice for the same layer and this preset contains options for expressions then you will get duplicate with the added number names. There is no way around that.

  • Fan continues to run

    I have a HP G70 120EA with windows vista Basic.

    The fan on my laptop running constantly at full. Usually the fan works intermittently throughout the day and is usually quiet, but right now, it runs non-stop. The laptop isn't overheating and performance is not affected, but the fan should not be run as this the

    I installed an update of the BIOS but that did not solve the problem, can someone help me?

    If you have had your system for at least 6 to 12 months, then it's to the point where it is probably enough dust and particles have put in the fans and filters and ducts begin to affect the temperature of system operation. If your fan runs constantly, it is more likely, especially if you don't have not kept the contributions and blown exhaust every two weeks or more. Laptops can draw in a lot of dust and dirt, especially for the people who use them on their "towers" and not on a surface hard as required to ensure ventilation and aeration. The contributions of the laptop fan are on the bottom, the exhaust usually in the back corners. No matter how clean your environment may be, clothing & skin particles, hair, dust, dirt, you name it and it will get finally inside your system. For most laptop computers, depending on the size, happens between 6 and 18 months, usually about 12-16, until they begin to have problems because of the dirt and debris inside heating. Generally, the system, faster it builds, but it also depends on how many times it is used.

    Particles and fibers of clothing are especially a problem, and also why you should never use your laptop on your lap. One, it blocks the water intakes and two most of the clothes are made of a mixture of cotton, cotton is a great heat insulator and something you do not want inside your system. Bare skin is as bad or worse, because it contains particles of skin, hair, and other things that you don't normally see that can enter your system.

    You can try first blowing the contributions and exhausts - they'll be obvious dust around them. Blow it when the unit is running. Realistic but, ultimately you have to shoot the cover and keyboard to pass inside to do a good cleaning/rash to accomplish real. If your fan is where it is to run all the time, then you're already at this time here.

    There is a common HP Support newsletter which is linked to the Page to support your system and many other systems which covers this issue:

    Reduce heat and the fan noise by cleaning the air vents

    The fan runs constantly, the PC is running more slowly than expected and generates heat

    To remove the cover and the entire keyboard, the library of HP Services shows you the procedure and a video demo on exactly how to execute the instructions to remove and replace the different FRU (CRUS). While it doesn't specifically tell you how to perform preventive maintenance functions (something that I suggested that they add), you can use it to remove the cover and remove the keyboard to switch to the fans and ducts to blow off the dust.

    HP SERVICES MEDIA LIBRARY, 100 SERIES NOTEBOOK FRU G70

    It's really not as hard as you might think. The done key to keep a good which screws go where, and for novices, there are some easy ways to do so.

    1. some use a muffin Pan - I don't personally like them as a professional. All it takes is for you, your child, you dog, cat, lizard, whatever, Knock off the table and that you're "screwed" literally while you die in agony, I look at each screw you have removed go flying in all directions.

    2 parts case - use a medium of plastic parts, number them with a marker and write on paper where screws for each numbered compartment. Leave the cover on the door closed while you work. Better, but still not great.

    3 Ribbon and paper - my favorite. Get a roll of blue tape of 2 ". Detach a strip long enough to cover a piece of paper or poster board and bend back the ends, tape on the surface with the sticky side. On the paper/cardboard, note the location of the screws etc and paste each screws/part of the band. When you remove them, sticky substance does not stick, but it is strong enough to hold small pieces very well.

    Of course I did it for so many years I do not use anything but my memory, because they are all pretty much the same. But if you never did, using one of these systems can really help you to avoid a catastrophe.

    Air - use air canned and have at least 2 or 3 boxes available and be in a room that has a fan to blow off the dust outside or at least away from the system. USE a vacuum cleaner on any electronic system - laminar airflow at the end of the nozzle does NEVER extremes of static electricity that can literally destroy components. ESD rated vacuums are very expensive, so don't even think about it. Non-conductive tips are not as effective either - it is best to avoid completely, but you can use them at a distance to suck all the dust you ripped. I have always used a HEPA filter or a fan to blow out the dust or vacuum dust of any system I've been working on at the time, so it's not aspire back when I am done.

    I say having more than one can air because the propellant becomes useless after about 30 seconds of spray, until it warms up again. Unless you want to spray and keep in waiting, so many in order to use one, then another one like the other retrieves.

    Make sure you only keep your system connected to an electrical outlet also while you do this - you don't want it powered of course, but have plugged it into a grounded outlet gives you better ESD protection when working within a system. Never touch an exposed electronic component unless it is on his side, or if you're also well grounded.

    You must also download and install HWMonitor, a monitoring program internal system convenient and widely used. It measures the temperatures of all the key components and fans. You can get it on http://www.CPUID.com

    This, you should get repaired. I know that this seems to be a chore, but it is easier than you might think and a lot cheaper (and safer) that leave some bozo at best buy or somewhere else you charge hundreds of dollars for it, and you can bet money they'll find something else elsewhere just dust.

  • Sony RX10 III Raw exif question

    Hi all!  I've recently updated my CC Photoshop so that it supports the ARW format generated by my camera Sony RX10 III.  Loading images very well and I can very well handle them.  My problem is the following: jpg I create files which began as ARW are more viewable on my TV Bravia Sony 4 K (my preferred method for slide shows).  I did some research and it seems that the Sony Bravia TV take in charge the DCF 2.0 standard and in particular only Pixel / Chroma subsampling YCbCr 4:2:2 or 4:2:0.

    During the inspection of these jpg exif data, I see that the files that have been created by being imported from ARW * or * files that were on the camera as jpg in mode "Raw + JPG" contain this line:

    < tiff: YCbCrPositioning > 2 < / tiff: YCbCrPositioning >

    The files that have been created from my other devices, or this device when shooting in JPG mode only, do not have this line.  And these images display fine on the TV, while none of the jpgs with this line of YCbCrPositioning appears.

    There, anyone know how to get around this problem?  I have a big pile of (what I think of) pictures from a recent trip that I can't show it to everyone because of this problem!  Thank you very much in advance...

    -Jeff

    Update: apparently, PS is now save these files in YCBCr 444, instead of 422 or 420 as before.  Sort of that change?  Thank you!

    SOLVED!

    Turns out, it was the pesky 'Format Options' put at the bottom of half of the JPEG Options dialog box on the economy.  I always put the quality at 12 (even if it looks like I could use 8 or 9 as well in my case here) and the baseline ("Standard").  Apparently, at some point the default has changed in 'Progressive', and it is these files (no matter the quality setting) which are not displayed.  Go figure.

    In any case, open and re-registration online database with pictures of quality yields 12 I post again, oh joy!

    Thanks for the input!

  • I deleted the server shows always upward when I add "/" after the name of file

    First of all a head upwards, you will be probably horrified when you visit my site, because it is outdated for many years. I hope that you can forget about that and just help me with the particular problem, I am trying to solve today. In other words, I edited all the footers on each page of the site to not display my phone number, but the old page still displaying the phone number appears when you add a "/" after the URL. For example:

    http://www.newyorkmultimedia.com/photo present the edited page, with only the enamel in the footer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hoyrbl47sjys0cg/Screenshot%202016-01-21%2019.31.55.png?dl=0

    But if I add "/" at the end of the URL, as follows: http://www.newyorkmultimedia.com/photo/

    It shows the old version of the page, which is more on the server: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pb9wcez1g4mwbxf/Screenshot%202016-01-21%2019.35.55.png?dl=0

    Here is a screenshot of the contents of the server, so you can see what I mean: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1nzls0l4bn0w7rv/Screenshot%202016-01-21%2019.36.57.png?dl=0

    Does anyone have a sense of what is happening, and how can I solve this problem? (Of course, I need to completely rebuild the site, but in the meantime...)

    Thank you very much to all those who can helpl.

    We don't know how you have organized your site, but looking at the screenshot of the contents of your server, you have a page named animation.html in the root of the site that was changed on 26/12/15. You also have a folder named animation that contains index.html that changed on 09/04/11.

    When you add a slash to a URL, the server automatically uses the default file in this folder (directory). It seems that the server has been configured to serve as animation.html in the root of the site as http://www.newyorkmultimedia.com/animation. But when the slash is added, the server automatically seeks index.html.

    The simple solution is to edit the index.html so footer. However, if the content of animation.html is the same as animation/index.html, you must examine the way in which the server has been configured. It is not a configuration I've met before.

  • Color profile

    I just reinstalled Windows 8.1 and PS CC, and when I open a jpg of my Nikon D600, told me that the jpg contains a built-in color profile that is different from the actual color work room, so I have to choose between the following 3 options:

    1 use the profile integrated (instead of the working room)

    2 convert the color of the jpg to the work room

    3 unsort the embedded profile (no color management)

    It's Chinese to me.
    Can someone explain?

    Thank you very much

    Yes. 1 is better each and every time.

    Assume that the Photoshop color settings are "Adobe RGB" (Edit > color settings).

    It is the default space (work) of Photoshop which will get all new documents you create.

    If a file that you open already has a profile, always respect this profile, either sRGB, Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB.

  • Question about interactive display

    I do an interactive display for the school and it includes 2 games and 5 movies.  I have everything set up as I want, but I have a HUGE problem, my movies will not play!  I use 2 different codes, one for the games and the other for movies, they are below:

    Games Code: loadMovie ("filename.swf", 1);

    The animation code: container.loadMovie ("filename.swf");

    The animation code has worked before, but for some reason any that it does not work now!  If there will have another code for downloading movies and .swf games let me know!  These are all transferred and I am thanks to navigate via the keys and those who seem to work great!  Another thing, I fixed it to 2 images per second, but some things stand out because it goes too fast, but if I have the slower games do not work.  Can someone help me with this one please?  Thanks in advance!

    -Jenni_Girl97

    If you want to load into a level, use loadMovieNum:

    loadMovieNum("filename.swf",1);

    If this fails, you have a path of access and/or incorrect file name.

    If container.loadMovie ("filename.swf") fails, you have a path of access and/or incorrect file name or a target movieclip incorrect (container).  or it can work, and you don't realize it because of the properties of the container.

    to obtain more accurate, you need to copy and paste the corresponding code.

  • Possible points of light off the trail?

    Is there a filter / effect in AE that will generate leads after points of light? You have certainly seen pictures of the starry night, where the shutter was open for a long time. The stars make nice trails circular, centred around Stella Polaris.


    I want the same thing. In fact, I have a video created by daz3d Carrara, placed on a rotating globe, and the starry night camera above. I would like to illustrate, giving the stars 'paths', as in time elapse photos.


    Any ideas?


    Ingvar

    Echo.

    If your lights are animated solids or particles among the stock plug-ins, then you will need to dial before the layer with the points of light before you apply the Echo. If you have driven a lot of points of light on different layers, then you can dial each other.

    Increase in the number of echoes and decrease the time interval will give your veins. Beware of the long rendering time. The echo can easily take 4 or 5 minutes a picture HD comps if your number of echoes of the numbers in the hundreds.

  • CS4 corrupted project, backup automatically all too corrupt

    All,

    I had that before.

    A few months previously, after many hours of editing, my project xml file has been corrupted and not let me even load it. Key XML (suggested by a user warned here) says that the file has been authorized so far concerned the xml code. I chalked up to inadequate equipment and bought a new, much faster computer with more than 50% of memory. In addition, I lowered my sequence length so I had less exposure to the work — does not have more than one chapter of 8 minutes in each project to lose then I'll put them all together at the end.

    I have about 2800 clips loaded in various locations. Suddenly sure first does not work like that, but otherwise, how to read carefully these clips?

    But the main problem is this: he was pretty well until Monday. I closed the program that night, returned, plugged my disks (with the media) and has tried to load MasterPPG1.3.pproj, he hung up. I tried the last automatic backup - no luck. I unplugged the media just to see if it would give me an error offline. No luck. He hangs up always just. All works not disappeared.

    It says "loading project" and the yellow bar moves to about 75% then it just stops. I let it run for hours just to see if it was time. No luck. A key XML shows the integrity of file to be good which, I realize, that means that the XML formatting is ok.

    Any ideas?

    I downloaded a copy of the pproj file: http://footflyer.com/video

    Everyone knows this? I spend too much time on the tool and can not see the light of day. It's starting to look like my investment of $800 is for nothing.

    My media clips and animations are contained on an external hard drive.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Jeff G.

    There is something wrong with the reference to the AoA.mov file in the project - it seems that the project claims that it is supposed to be an audio stream in the media file, but when he tries to rebuild, it is missing data.  I would like to know how you managed to start the project in this State.  With a little luck, remember you can do something with that particular file which could give us a few steps on how to reproduce it.

    In any case, some good news: CS5 detects & bypasses the error and can load project.  It does not help you in itself well.  I hacked the project to remove audio references for this media file, and it seems to load very well after that.  You may need to go replace this clip again if the audio was necessary, but as it seems to be an animation, I suspect that you will not miss it.

  • With regard to the thumbnails to load click large size photo

    Hello
    I have a Web page with about 6 thumbnails. I would like to Flash to upload photos full size, when the viewer clicks on the thumbnails. Could someone tell me, how do you?

    And finally, what is the ACE for this?

  • loading dynamic images

    I am trying to load external images (.jpg) EmptyMovieClips in a particular situation. This is something that is generally easy to do with this:

    var container: MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip ("container", getNextHighestDepth());
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener (this);
    mcLoader.loadClip ("images/01-The-Beatles-Sgt.-Peppers-.jpg", container);

    function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {}
    trace ("onLoadInit:" + mc);
    }

    It works perfectly when inserted in the main scenario of a Virgin in Florida

    Yet, in my situation images not load in the emptyMovieClips as previously. The problem probably has something to do with the code above in a function that is located on the chronology of a bound MC ('node') being adapted. Here is the code (with a few additional things that may or may not apply the essential process which is reproduced above):


    I solved the problem by changing the publication of the SWF in Flash Player 6 (AS 2.0) file to Flash Player 8 (AS 2.0). Don't know exactly why, but it made the difference, with the final code below:
