Blinking of the eyes in the After Effects

Hello!

I'm working on my very first video animation in After Effects output. I have a vector image of a person and I want him to blink frequently throughout the video.

I will create several different versions of the eyes (completely open, that half way open, closed etc) and then place each of these images next to each other in the timeline to create the effect.

But... I should probably do this hundreds of times throughout the video and am looking for a quicker way. Is it possible to attach the different images of the eyes to a cursor and the cursor key image? I think that would speed up the process that I just can't understand how do.

If someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a picture of the vector, I work with.

Check out these resources that go into detail about how to use the time remapping for lip synching effect:

In After Effects by Rich Young lip sync

The same technique works for flashing and other these animations, not only for lip synching.

  • How to change the resolution of the After Effects project rendered in Adobe Media Encoder for an overview of H264?

    I want to make a 1080i computer at half the resolution or third resolution in the SOUL to speed up rendering for previews times low resolution. I just got a glimpse of H264 low-resolution take 5 minutes to encode in AE and 28 minutes in the SOUL.

    It's easy to do in After Effects rendering parameters. However, the option "video" in the SOUL seems to imply that is encoded at this resolution, not made at home.

    I went into AE and changed the setting in the composition to "half" window, but when I queue it in the SOUL, the 'Source Match' button still shows 1080.

    What is the right method to get the results I want?

    I am currently using AE CC and CC SOUL on Windows.

    Short answer: the feature you are looking for does not currently exist in the After effects-of-SOUL workflow.

    When the SOUL is coding a mock-up of After Effects, it doesn't have the ability to affect the way in which the model of After Effects is rendered. The model will be always made its intrinsic properties. Even when you resize the encoding settings in the SOUL, the full model is made and scaling only during encoding.

    Caution: SOUL CS6, we began work to enable this feature to exist. When you right-click on a computer in the queue of the SOUL and click the Source settings, you can control the rendering of After Effects settings: Guide layers are visible or not. Our intention is to extend this feature, although the addition of parameters affecting the properties of the model (as opposed to the visibility of the layers) is much more difficult and remains on our to-do list.

    In addition, the composition Viewer settings do not affect the properties inherent in the model itself, it only affects the way in which the model is seen.

    As you correctly deducted the differences between rendering and encoding, I expect you have also already considered workarounds to get what you want (a model made faster which is coded in the SOUL), but summarize these ideas even when:

    (1) makes an intermediate file without loss of After Effects and which encodes your delivery with SOUL format, possibly using spyware files to automate the side of the SOUL of the process which is what I would recommend.

    (2) nest your scale model in a model more small that corresponds to your desired settings and encode this model in the SOUL.

    As always, please send us your thoughts on how you want to see the After effects-of-SOUL improved workflow: http://adobe.ly/feature_request

  • How to fix the After Effects error - it was not possible to analyze the shape of the mask on the Clipboard

    How can I fix the following error: it was not possible to analyze the shape of the mask on the Clipboard. I have this note when I opened in After effects.

    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.

    It may be a bug in Primatte Keyer after effects CC 2015 (13.5). Note that most of the effects must be updated for this version, as described here:

    It is a clean language of After Effects or is it DSL?

    There are definitions of specific properties, but it is essentially a JavaScript. I suggest that you go to the site Web of Dan Ebberts and look upward. http://Motionscript.com

    I hope the link works because I posted this from my phone.

  • Premiere Pro effects remain on the replacement of the After Effect Composition?

    First Pro CS6

    After Effects CS6

    When I'm working on a timeline in PPCS6 and I replace a clip with a composition of AE home that cut, when passed to AE and then back to PP, keep correcting the colors and other adjustments first, I can do?  In other words, when I look at the new clip in PP, after it I have adjusted in AE, I do not see how I applied it in PP.  However, I wonder if these effects are still there but now contained in the model.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    Robert

    No, because AE uses video of the source of this clip.
    CS6 PR you can use adjustment layers for the color correction etc on top of your clip and if you replace the clip with a comp. AE it will then affect the model.

  • What are the after-effects of the techniques used to create "Weaving Seagram" Elena Manferdini?

    I am currently working on a short clip and I'd like to get a similar effect as video "Weaving Seagram" Elena Manferdini. Weaving mies: Seagram_close up on Vimeo 01

    I know a few basics and I'm guessing that the video use the scan of the crack or the effect of travel time in sequels. I would appreciate if someone can tell me what other techniques are used to create the effect of smooth transition that transform a photo into a dynamic animation.

    Thank you!

    This kind of effect can be achieved by masking and radical scaling to 'y '.

    Place the anchor point where you want the scaling to be centered, duplicate the layer, draw the mask by the anchor point (alignment assistance) and then are resized in there until you get the desired effect.

    It seems that you could do the whole project by simply adding a group of layers and masks.

  • First Pro plug-in using the After Effects API

    Hello

    According to the SDK, you say that the effects API after must be used to create effects type of Plug In for Adobe Premier.

    We have developed several AE plug (effects) based on the SDK CS6 EI and still they does not appear / work on first Pro CS6.

    Where can I find guidelines on how to create a plugin s that work on both EI and the Prime Minister?

    Is there a code example for this Plug In?

    Thank you.

    Hi Royi,

    Yes there are examples of code.  If you look at the Descriptions of sample in HPC project 1 of the SDK Guide (on page 35 in the CS6 SDK Guide), those who are first Pro-compatible is marked as such in the description.  More recent versions of the SDK will have as many of the sample projects that are compatible with both hosts.

    In addition, you can refer to the chp 10 SDK Guide on Premiere Pro, to read some general remarks on the compatibility.
