Can I create a layer "preset?

Hey,.

I'm trying to put a video together for my group and I am trying to do especially with After Effects. He'll have a stylized and abstract look that requires the use of several effects. Until here, every time I import a new clip and assign it to a new layer I was manually by adding the combination of effects each time. However, I was wondering if there was a way to save time and create/save a layer 'preset '? Whenever I create a new layer, I can load up this preset, then it instantly apply effects.

I'm new new to After Effects and I am more accustomed to the use of music software where I can do this with each instrument track. So, for example, I can get the sound of the guitar, that I want it, save the settings of the track as a "Preset" and then if I want the same acoustic guitar in another song I can just load the preset without having to go through the process of adding and tweaking again everywhere in all processes and effects.

I hope that my question makes sense.

Thank you very much

Andy.

  • How can I create a new all-white or all-black layer without changing the current foreground color or background?

    I need to create a filled layer of black or white.  I need to do WITHOUT changing the current foreground or background colors. So I can't use the bucket tool. The reason is that I have created these layers inside Action and the need the current colors remain unchanged.

    Here's the easiest way I found to date:

    1. Layer-> new fill layer-> solid color...  Select one of the choices other than 'None '.  In the color picker dialog box, place the code hex #fff and click OK
    2. Layer-> rasterize-> content fill
    3. Layer-> Layer Mask-> remove

    Can someone suggest a simpler method?

    You can simply create a new empty layer and then go to Edit > fill and choose either black or white

  • How can I create a new layer that is a gradient?

    Hi, I'm very new to scripting photoshop and have some difficulty.

    I am looking for a way to take a picture I have and configure it to have a gradient opacity as he approaches middle, my thought on how to do was simply to create a layer that is a gradient from the upper left to lower right and secure then as a vector mask.

    Any ideas on how I could create this gradient layer of script or a better method to do this opacity gradient?

    Thanks in advance,

After pressing X button was able to brush the image and then he kept repeating the process of pressing X and it pixlelated areas of the image. And now the masks brush and layer don't work at all whenever I start a new project.

    Hi dtain,

    Can you please try reset tool.

    To reset a tool, you must first have the selected tool. Then Ctrl-click (Windows users: right click) the button tool preset in the Tool Options bar.

    When you click this button, you will see a small menu and you can select Tool Reset to reset the current tool to its default value or reset all tools to deliver all the tools to its default value. Once selected, the tool will act as the first time you have used it.

    Using this simple method to reset your tool with a single click, you can quickly remedy any situation where the tool does not correctly and to maintain the flow of creativity going.

  • Can we create list Action Pitstop for optimization PDF

    Hello world

    I want to optimize the PDF for the Web and other files. Could you please confirm what can we create the Pitstip action list or profile of preflight for PDF Optimization as shown in Acrobat Professional.

    And confirm can save us the preset as a file separate from the optimizer?

    Please suggest.

    Thank you

    Sandra

    Acrobat and PitStop are two distinct products, even if they work together.

    PitStop action lists only works in Enfocus products.

    It is likely that you can do anything you want to optimize the PDF file. Send me a PM if you want to explore this option.

    If you want to make a selection of text only, use scriptlistener and ctrl + click on the text layer icon to make the selection. Then, you can use the generated code to use for your race. Or you can use the scriptlistener and create a layer style line.

  • Can I create a style 'Back' motion tween in Flash

    I'm Flash after many, many years to use after Effects to create an interactive work for a client.

    My question is: can you create an ease and whizz style 'Back' animated tween?

    Screen Shot 2015-08-09 at 22.54.02.png

    After effects ease and Whizz - legends.

    I tried using the query editor (nightmare for control) you can create some nice simple movement, but try to go above or below 100% for the effect of 'growing up' is somewhat difficult. (unless you try to do it on the separate x, y of dimensions and even then it's a nightmare and nearly impossible to achieve)

    There's even an easy way to do this in Adobe Edge too, but lets not go there...

    Screen Shot 2015-08-09 at 22.44.52.png

    Same EDGE has a way... Cripes!

    Search every corner of the web that I found Tim Groleau acceleration function generator JACKPOT I thought, however there is no way obvious to apply these to the flash animations. (I've been away from flash for over 10 years, so potentially there is an easy way to do this...)

    Screen Shot 2015-08-09 at 22.56.19.png

    Any Help is highly appreciated

    If you are using a motion tween, you can control the easing in the flash interface without using code.

    After that right click on the frame span where you want your motion tween, click on create the motion tween, and then right click tween layer, click on refine tween, and then click Add an ease.

  • Can I create a clipping on a clipping mask mask?

    Can I create a clipping on an another clipping mask mask?

    I want to fill a range of Layer 3 on a layer2.

    Is it impossible? It would be useful if it is feasible.

    cm.jpg

    A workaround can be convert "Layer 2" and "Layer 3"to a smart object and a clipping in that mask.

    A completely different structure with groups and application layer or layer masks can be another option.

    Using the direct link command called VERY different process than SpeedGrade using "Native" mode DL, Sg is currently working within your project file PrPro... and they don't want not Sg to be able to do much to the timeline, this is why the timeline of any sequence is "locked" in the Official Journal. You can't do 'edition' stuff, like add or remove clips,... all respect the timeline itself. Only things that affect the appearance of this timeline/sequence. In a process of Sg 'native', where you create the timeline within the Sg or take an EDL (list) and re - connect to files of clips in sequence of the EDL, Sg creates its own project files... an IRCP file. You can do all sorts of things in this timeline.

    So... to create a new layer or follow the sequence/timeline, you MUST go to PrPro and add an 'adjustment layer. Click on the "new item" icon at the bottom right of the project Panel box; choose "new adjustment layer" and make it drag in your sequence, then space needed.

    Now... a little about works of the thing of layers in Adobe applications. The bottom layer in the Panel (bottom right of the screen) aspect sees your clip in its entirety. It's the ONLY one. You make some changes to this primary, then maybe create an another primary top for various changes. THIS primary only sees the output of primary underneath and affects the image that he is "submitted" upwards by this lower layer. Now do a upper secondary to that of say, to change some colors in a narrow band of senior middle tones. This layer is once again these changes just to 'image' as adopted upward by the layer just underneath. Reorganize your layers, you WILL get surprising different effects.

    Layers of ranking are the same... they see what happened to 'up' for them to the clip below, but... AFTER all the work you did on this clip directly. Change the work of the layers in the appearance of the original item Panel and your ranking top layer should also some changes because the image approach until he changed.

    It is very logical that you get used to it. However, it can throw you for very perplexed loops at the beginning.

    The speed with which you can go from PrPro Sg to PrPro to the Sg of... it is very easy for Sg earlier in the editing process and use models of workflow radically different that was required. I work in the Official Journal... LOVE it's so exciting to see what we can do with it...

  • How can I get my layer mask to work properly

    I have Photoshop CS6 64 bit I duplicated the layer and applied a Gaussian blur.  I created a layer mask and when I brush the layer it does not reveal the mask - how can I fix it? Layer mask

    It is difficult to tell with what you see. But reveal is black and white is hide, with gray as the variance of the two. He would not reveal the mask, he would reveal the lower layers. I guess that what you mean, but I added it for new users of reading this thread.

  • I can't get to layer masks to work with PScc but works fine with CS6

    When I create a layer mask, it appears correctly but does not at all.  I have the correct layer selected and I paint in black (and nothing happens blank either) and there is no problem when you do exactly the same thing with CS6, so I thought it might be a difference in my settings but I do not see everything.  My masks are NOT disabled in the properties.  Nothing appears on the image or the mask.  I can however, use the Eraser tool as usual.  Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Is your brush on the normal mixture and not clarify or screen?
