Card dance effect

I use after effects CC and I'm learning how to use the effects of the Simulation.  Aid for the dance card takes me to a help screen which seems to be a little more contact, the instructions do not match the menu choices.  So I found my me guess what they're trying to do.  Apparently, I'm a bad guesser, I can't even begin to do a dance of the card.  Can I get some instructions to update or a video?

If you use a gradient overlay or generate a gradient of effects, then you need to before composing the layer before card dance can use information of gradient on the layer to move the grid. If you use a shape with a gradient or an image, or even a video layer, you will have to call before. It is one thing to rendering order. The plug-in card dance needs to see different color values to move the grid, but the gradient effect and the gradient fill layer style are calculated after that dance card looked at the layer level, so no movement is produced. Before dialing solves this problem because the values of gradients are generated before dance card has been fortunate to refer to the layer.

Here's a simple project with a shape for the gradient layer. I put a 50% gray bar at the bottom and set it to a black radial gradient white in the Center. This will distort the layer map dance pushing black back and pulling on white on the forehead in Z. I also used a scale X and Y to give a little space between the cards.

This is what looks like the layer of the form:

You can see that the maps are drawn in the shape of a cone with the 50% gray bar representing no travel.

If you can play with the settings here is a CC project to play with: Dropbox - CardDanceBasics.aep

NOTE: Dropbox will add a .txt the file name extension if you click and save. Remove the .txt and the ASP file opens fine. You can avoid this on most browsers by right-clicking and selecting the Save AS file or download related as option.

  • reversal of a clip (card flip effect)

    Hello

    There are several ways to code the card with pictures and movies flip effect, those that I found is very complicated.  Is it possible to use the card flip on a clip in a simple way?

    any help is very appreciated,

    Sam

    As a simple explanation of how do it, all you have to do is to change the rotationX or property rotationY movieclip of 180 degrees (use a Tween for a gradual change).

    If you want the effect of turning over a card, then you need to have both sides of the card in the movieclip also separate movieclips.  No matter which side is indicated first must pass over the other side and be made invisible to halfway through changing the rotationX or rotationY property.

  • Split / break a video to several equal parts and make them come together.

    Hi all

    I'm sorry if the title is not very understandable. Basically, I would like to make a sort of transition. I imagine a video, I want to break/split equally (maybe 8 or 10 pieces), to make each party meet with each other at the end of the animation (as an anime puzzle actually) to make the video.

    Is it possible to do? I saw stuff on the use of Illustrator, make a grid and so on, but I hope there is an easier way to do this.

    I guess it should be both of the 3D layers.

    Thank you in advance and sorry for my English.

  • Flag animation

    I'm doing an animation of flag with effect on fractal noise and card of the dance, the animation is good but the deformation of the card dance blow the flag on the metal of the flag stand.

    How a limitation to the animation to make the move of flag but not fix it on the metal support?

    Thank you and sorry for my English.

    a way to make of this off - since the movement that appears is based on intensity change the brightness in the plan of the fractal, you need to make changes in the plan of the fractal so that the side pole of the card will have no changes in brightness. Just add a solid gray with a mask of feathers on the side. This will stabilize the most on the side of the indicator, the rest will be covered by the pole itself, as shown here in this tutorial:

  • T400 with XP x 64 problems

    Hey,.

    I installed Windows XP Professional x 64 on my T400 (NM51JHV aka 2767-1JG), I need this because I added 2 GB of ram to my laptop, so I need an OS 64-bit for the use of 4 concerts. My additional supplenments for the standard config is an SSD instead of HARD drive and I use a 256 Mb SD flash card in the E: drive (where I store all temporary files, including those that is created by windows, for example the internet web local cache...)

    I have some problems with my config, I hope someone can help me with them.

    (If no, in this case, at least I collect a few questions - perhaps ordinary-):

    1, OSD does not work (I installed the keyboard shortcut and drivers OSD of course). Y at - it Windows XP 64-bit support for that?

    2, logins does not work on 64 bit platform... No work around?

    3, the Authentec fingerprint reader has no driver for Windows XP 64 bit. Is there a third-party driver?

    4 and most importantly: the laptop cannot go to sleep or turn off your computer. When I go to sleep or shutdown, Windows removes a dialog box 'Préparation for sleep' and nothing happens...

    (5, 3.14 update system crashes with an error, something like "an error has occurred during the searched data" or data collection)

    Other things seems to work perfectly.

    Thanks in advance for your help appreciated.

    I hope that there is someone in my shoe.

    Vista: Same 32 or 64 bit edition I know it is taken in charge and work, but my basic point was intended to prevent install Vista on my laptop. It is a theoretical question why I avoid using Vista (for example: a BONE that is using a GB of ram at idle is not an OS which is a Pinball game nice), and basically I want to use my laptop on my place of work and at home too. At work, Service Desk management not recommended Vista and which is not supported

    I'm sort of man who finds a standard WinXP too slow and nLiteing it.

    Meanwhile I use Debian Linux 64-bit on my secondary partition and everything works except the fingerprint reader (the driver is under development and due out in December)

    SD: I found the same thing, I use same SD to prevent unnecessary disk writes to my SSD it's much slower than the SSD... Best SD cards has 15 Megs/sec read/write speed is nothing to my SSD that can provide 80 - 150 MB/sec read and 80 MB/s write speed...

    SD card is not related to my problem of the judgment, when I removed the card the effect was the same. But it was a good idea, thank you.

    Fortunately, I managed to solve my problem of shutdown/restart/sleep.

    I found a Microsoft the KB article that said some pilots of the unit cannot be unloaded perfectly, there is a fix that is not help for me, but I reinstalled the driver for the camera of the Loenovo and the problem has been resolved with this.

    I'll read the ThinkPad SuperGuide, I hope that there will be a lot of useful information.

    So currently my status is:

    -The dial-up connections, the system update, the OSD is not supported on this platform. I accept it.

    -There are 3 "unknown device" in Device Manager the (must be Intel 4500HD video card), verification of PCI IDs and understand what they are.

    -Driver modem's failure during installation, but I really need a modem.

    -Director presentation gives an error 'no permission to write the Temp' (there ), and the installation fails.

    With all this it is not perfect, but good enough to work.

    Thanks again Aggothelf.

    Thanks for your reply.

  • Audio into keyframes Question?

    I want to use Audio images key Assistant to a Knoll fire brighten up to the beat of the song, but if I have relatives on the Amplitude Audio for the 'brightness' layer creates the Knoll Light, the light mound is very dark, because keyframes "Audio" both about 20, where as the Knoll light should bounce around 100.

    So basically im asking if there is a way to have the bright Knoll light enough, while using the Audio into keyframes. Thank you!

    Card - After Effects CS5

    Win 7 64 bit

    As Todd said, it is a linear expression. It looks like this:

    linear(value, 0, 20, 10, 100)
    

    To understand it begins on the first and read this sentence carefully.

    (take the value of your first variable, from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 20 and create a new linear range of values of a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 100)

    You could also write expressions that use ease rather than linear. It changes just the graph of a line to a curve.

    To make all this work, you will need to apply the expression of the value of light of the Knoll Light value and set the value as a variable by using the channels time slider generated with the Audio into keyframes Deputy.

    The finnished expression would look like this:

    val = thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider");
    linear(val, 1, 20, 20, 100)
    

    Who do you follow? Val is the value of the keyframes variable audio two channels slider. You cannot use the value for the variable because it is a reserved word.

    What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)


    Hello Dell Community. I read through the sticky XPS compatibility and some discussions on upgrading video cards. However, I couldn't find something that fits my needs. If you all can help me with this, would be great!

    Characteristics of the computer:

    • Dell Xps 8500
    • Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
    • 16 GB of Ram
    • 64-bit operating system
    • AMD Radeon HD 7570

    Needs:

    • Run newer games of 2014/2015 without lag on medium to high heat (GTA V)
    • Relatively easy to install (remove some screws and paste the video card in and voila!)
    • No need to upgrade the power supply

    Budget is $ 200-250:

    • Obviously the lower the better and if need be, the budget is flexible. Depends on if the gain is important for the payment of the sum.

    Look forward to your answers!

    Thank you

    that my epic video card does not support the Aero effects?

    You owe joke... !!!

    Hello Dan,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you get the message that the aero effects are not supported by your video card. I would help you with the question. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the edition of Windows 7 installed on your computer (Home Premium, professional, Ultimate etc.)?
    2. What is the brand and model number. your computer?
    3. What is the exact message you get?

    The question could arise if Windows 7 is not compatible with the version of the driver or if the driver you are using, in particular, does not supports the Aero effects.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Run the next fixit and then re-run the assessment. Check if it is useful.

    Visual effects Aero Glass in Windows are not working or displayed

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    See the steps in the following Knowledge Base article and check if the question is reproduced.

    Guided Help: the problems of Aero in Windows 7

    In addition, I suggest you refer to the section: Aero material required in the following article and check if the problem persists.

    What is the Aero visual experience?

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • Video card driver can't stand Aero effects

    Woke up this morning with my display in Windows Basic, rather than Aero. Tried to restart, then the Aero Troubleshooter and the result is that my graphics card Driver does not support the Aero effects. Even if she did yesterday. How can this be?

    P

    Click Start (or press the Windows key) and type Device Manager , and then on . Device Manager lists all the hardware in your computer.

    For your video card, click the triangle pointing to the right next to display maps. It should fall down and show the specific adapter that you have installed. Note that for future reference.

    Try the click with the right button on the specific adapter and selecting the Update driver Softwarer. In the new Update driver software window, click search for drivers that are updated automatically. The program will automatically search online for your specific driver. Install an update recommended found.

    If this fails to solve your problem, report back and we will consider other avenues.

    • Have you tried it turned off then on again?
  • Dance of the Rotoscoping in After Effects with motion tracking?

    Hello!

    How can I copy the movements of real popular dance to a video into a cartoon character using rotoscoping/masking/motion tracking in AE?

    Example:

    Neytiri dance rotoscoping/animation at the beginning still very rough - YouTube

    Tracking and Rotoscoping in After Effects: dance-2014 Jayant Sharma - YouTube

    Thanks in advance!

    in the Express.ypH you have provided there is 2 things and none of them is the cartoon character who is drawn on a video:

    • * the first is a 3D CGI that mimics the movements of dances from the dancing and I think that this has been done from observation. certainly NOT the Rotoscoping.
    • * the second example is a dancing man - a video cutting cutting - perhaps he was dancing in front of a greenscreen, we do not know but is not a caricature but a cutting of a video which has been applied some effects to make it more graphic but still, it's a video and I think that one who was cut by using matte procedure (picture effect) after the dancer was shot in front of a green screen. the face attached to the dancer is a follow-up on the face and securing its position and rotation of the information from tracking data so it will match. This is called the track or the movement of the game and it is a skill that requires time and patience to learn. but it is sometimes easier than rotoscoping. the two can be combined together to make life easier for the ROTO. but it's advanced things.

    On rotoscoping as an Art to cut out an Image of a video (not picture on it):

    There are several ways to make rotoscoping (cutting of the motion picture), and they all need a lot of practice and patience. There is no way to do it easily and it is a skill that takes time to penetrate. different types of techniques are described here: https://www.fxguide.com/featured/the-art-of-roto-2011/

    draw on top of a video (without cutting) is animated rotoscoping and can be done in Photoshop. some do it with "Chronology of Animation Frame" and others with "timeline of the video.

    The main workflow is the following:

    1. you import your video in photoshop

    2. create a timeline of this video

    3. do frame-by-frame on top of the video

    4. export the sequence as a new video

    more on the process of these Roto technical animation can be found in this post.

    Re: rotoscoping techniques: Animation video vs Timeline -there are links and information in the post of different examples. the post is a work in the making. I tried to treat it as an article, but new to the Forum (in terms of contributing content) carried out, once a user posts a comment on my comment - I can't access (which makes sense)

  • What is the best graphic card for after effect

    Hello
    my graphics card is not supported for after effect. I'll buy a new one and I would like to know what is the best
    Thank you

    There is never a simple answer for such a question, but:
    List of cards supported for 3D Ray Tracing in AE, you will find it here: after effects configuration required for Mac OS and Windows

    More information on NVidia: Adobe after effects CC - 3D Graphics workflow | NVIDIA

    But to be honest, most of the nvidia graphics cards will work with AE - ELA easier - more Cuda cores better.
    But before you spend a lot of money for the high GPU know AE uses mainly from CPU to GPU rendering is not so important. It uses the GPU only for RayTracing (obsolete)

    and some third-party plug-ins.
