duration of the animation

Hello.

I am a first year student of Graphic Design at the University and I am new to After Effect.  I'm working on a project where I need to set up some length and ratio for an animation. According to the brief, I arrived to set up the composition of a 4 second video at 25 fps and the size must be 768px by 576px (4.3 proportions) for this animation, I had to use my own picture photographed hundreds. Unfortunately, when I import my 100 photos apparently in good order all properly numbered, Ae import for a reason, in separate files 2 1 includes 97 of my photos and another 3 (oddly, only 3 that I added to the pile later) and it happens everytime I try. In fact, this isn't my major problem, but perhaps it has an effect on the pain I feel. The problem I have is: I have set the dimensions in the composition settings, as he asked. However, the video is only until 03:07 dry parts + extra really short-00:03 that the separate program, who lives a relatively large gap on my compare video from 4 seconds to the size of it. I tried to understand where is the gap came, and why my photos can only compensate a 03:10 s animation. I'm stuck, but because my problem is quite specific I couldn't find any tutorial answering my question.

Change the cadence of a composition does not change the pace of the film that put you in the computer. If you have a second clip, 30, who was shot at 60 fps in real time is 30 seconds. If you place this element in a model that is only 10 frames per second the clip will take 30 seconds to read that it will be as smooth because you won't see on a frame in 6.

Default frame for importing image sequences is defined in your preferences panel. It is 30 frames per second. 100 images @ 30 frames per second is 3 minutes and 9/30 of a second or 03:09 @ 30 fps.

If you put that image sequence in a model which is 25 fps and then the final visible image will be 03:07 and the end of the clip to 3:08(no_more_image) it's perfectly logical. If you look at the news to the right of the thumbnail for your image sequence when you select it in the project Panel, you will see that it is interpreted at 30 fps. You can change this by selecting the image and then right click or by clicking file > film > hand and change the images at 25 fps and your problem will be solved.

Now let's talk about the numbering of the frame. Sequences of images must be in their own separate folder. If you have 100 images, then the chassis numbers must have 3 digits and exactly the same name. myFootage_1.jpg for the first image in a sequence of 100 images is not going to work. The frames will be out of use. You must use myFootage_001.jpg for the first picture and other images should be the same until you get to 100. The most likely cause of your problems with the import are directly related to the file names.

I hope this helps. There are some fundamental things that apply to all film and video films. The search box in help in the upper right corner of the AE is your best friend when you come across something that is confusing. It will tell you some pretty decent community resources. The video is hard. You must understand the formats of compression, standards, rate frame, rendering, broadcast formats, formats of production and a bunch of other things like interlacing and pixel formats to work properly with the video. AE needs a foundation much more big in animation and composition techniques just to get some bases made reliable. Study and learn.

  • How to control the duration of the animation of text?

    I found a question similar to this in a forum for another product, but the answering machine only knew the answer and simply recommended "autour experimentation until you understand", which perhaps is the useless answer never.  Laughing out loud.

    My question is: How can I do so a text animation brings the text and then allows the text to sit on the screen normally for awhile after that?  Currently, when I add a text animation, it insists on the extension of the duration of the clip as a whole, from beginning to end.  How can I limit the animation to, say, the first 2 seconds of text and then allow the text to sit normally for 8 seconds after that?

    You will need to create your own animation custom rather than using one of the presets.

    It's pretty simple, using animation keyframes for the motion effect. Just right click on the title on the timeline, select view properties, open the scenario of creating keyframes in the properties panel, and you can create an animation, you can dream!

    I explain how to do, step by step, in my books.

    But you can get the basics of my free article "Keyfaming base" on the first Elements Muvipix.com support site.

  • How to set the duration of the animations of text?

    Scenario: as part of my learning pre 9, that tried to create what is essentially a slide with some projectile points. It's three lines of text in title I want to scroll the screen one after the other and then sit for about five seconds before the title shot has been completed.

    However, it seems that you cannot process the lines of text as individual objects (assuming that each line is an individual text box) as you would with KeyNote or Powerpoint.

    It seems there are three approaches to the use of the manipulation of text for titles:

    1. Animation with the menu/conduct
    2. Animation with effects
    3. Animate the whole title clip (is that the right term?) by using keyframes and motion and opacity

    It seems that none of these allow you to sequence the three lines of text so that they appear one after the other with specified times unless you create three separate title clips that appear one after the other. What at first would be on the first line, in the second element of title do you the first static line and roll on the second line and then in the third clip that you would roll on the third line while lines one and two were static. Then, to get a static display, you would create a fourth title clip in which all lines were static.

    My understanding is correct?

    I looked through the documentation and see no way to set the sequence and times of the different lines of text.

    Thank you.

    You're right – one cannot do multiple lines of text in a title and then apply predefined animations.

    In the Meadow, I would create the title in Photoshop, or PhotoshopElements, where each line is a layer, and the background is Transparent. Then save each layer as a separate PSD Import in the meadow. Then just animate each PSD individually, with keyframes for fixed effects > Motion > position and possibly movement > scale. With key frames, you can pause, speed up and completely control the animation.

    The reason for this in PS/EPS, is therefore very easy to align the text to the other layers.

    This can be done in the Titler, but I suggest using grids, alignment, or similar, to keep things lined up. This ARTICLE will give you some tips and even grids of alignment.

    The title preset animations are very limited, and I rarely even think about using them.

    Good luck

    Hey, Eddie.

    There is no way to dynamically change the speed of an animation, such as defined in a calendar.  You can code by hand animation or simply change the duration of the animation in the timeline.

  • Duration of the layer adapts MainComp duration

    Hi guys,.

    I have this problem...

    I created a few videos with a progressbar... I created a comp with progressbar, with 10-minute...

    Now, I'm importing progressbar comp in the main computer, but I need, the time is automatically adjusted with the duration of the main computer, or better an audiosample...

    Is there a way to script to accomplish?

    Kind regards

    Michele

    You can also use the in and out point of an audio layer in the expression that I gave you. It would not cut your comp to the length of the audio layer but it would give you a progress bar that would scale up as the played audio layer. Try this by naming your audio layer "audio" and applying this preset (CC or later). It was a good idea that I built an animation preset to add to my library of more than 200 that I use all the time. Dropbox - progress to audio.ffx bar

    Just save the preset in your user presets folder and then find in the Panel effects and settings preset or click Browse for the preset from the Animation > menu to apply predefined Animation. This preset will give you a new shape layer at the bottom of a model of HD that is filled with a gradient and which can develop into the top of the left during audio playback. He does not cut the model at the right length of length but it will do the job.

    This is the expression:

    l = thisComp.layer("audio").outPoint - thisComp.layer("audio").inPoint;

    t = time - inPoint.

    x = Math.ceil (linear (t, l, 0, 0, 101))

    y = value [1];

    [x, y]

    The solution you gave my friend Mathias would work very well on an animated demo, but she also wouldn't give you a fully automated solution, which truncates your comp to the length of your audio or your video layers.

    You can also use the term in the expression instead of the layer and point to l. it would give you a progress bar which began to evolve with at the point of the layer and has continued to evolve until the end of the composition.

    l = thisComp.duration - inPoint.

    t = time - inPoint.

    x = Math.ceil (linear (t, l, 0, 0, 101))

    y = value [1];

    [x, y]

    There are many ways to achieve this with just an expression, but none of these will give you a fully automated way of creating a model with an audio layer and a progress bar that corresponds to the duration of the layer audio or video in the model. That takes a script.

  • How to customize the animation of gout?

    I dig in the flex sdk 3.2 and found that the animation of the fall of flex drag-and-drop support is hard coded in the DragProxy class like:

    If (action is DragManager.NONE)
    {
    Return to the initial position interpolation
    var m1:Move = new Move (this);
    M1.addEventListener (EffectEvent.EFFECT_END, effectEndHandler);
    M1.xFrom = x;
    M1.yFrom = y;
    M1.xTo = startX;
    M1.yTo = startY;
    M1. Duration = 200;
    M1. Play();
    }
    on the other
    {
    Zoom in on the location of the mouse to show drag has been accepted.
    var e:Zoom = new Zoom (this);
    e.zoomWidthFrom = e.zoomHeightFrom = 1.0;
    e.zoomWidthTo = e.zoomHeightTo = 0;
    e.Duration = 200;
    e.Play ();

    var m:Move = new Move (this);
    m.addEventListener (EffectEvent.EFFECT_END, effectEndHandler);
    m.xFrom = x;
    m.yFrom = this.y;
    m.xTo = parent.mouseX;
    m.yTo = parent.mouseY;
    m.Duration = 200;
    m.Play ();
    }

    And the DragProxy class is excluded from the class, so this means that there is no way to customize the animation drop in flex?

    Correct, it is not possible to customize the animation of the drop. You can file a request for improvement at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex ?

    To customize, I think you'll have to monkey patch your SDK and Exchange on your own version of DragProxy.

  • Determination of the duration of the .swf file

    I need to find the length of several Flash .swf files, however, I do not have the full program, I only have Flash player. Is there a way to determine the duration (minutes and seconds) of the .swf files (short using a stopwatch ) by the player, or via a plugin?

    Hi UDeckM,

    Duration of the Flash movie is * really * subjective. If it is just a straight line
    movie playthrough (like an animation), then it's all simply a matter of
    multiplying the framerate of the movie (say 30) by the total number of frames in the movie
    (the main timeline _totalframes property). The reason why this is the case
    subjective, however, is because a movie can work on a single framework
    (as more focused on Flash applications do), so this may be entirely incorrect.
    Hope this helps at least.

  • Disable the animation full screen by scanning

    On my MacBook, I love using the function "drag between apps full screen (with four fingers). Unfortunately the animation slide slows down the whole process. Previously, I used the soft areas that has a parameter to disable this animation. On El Capitan, spaces is not really supported. This is why I would like to know if there is another option to disable this animation.

  • How can I disable the animation when I'm on the home page of Firefox?

    I have Firefox as the page start page that appears whenever I run Firefox. But I don't like animations that always appear now that I've upgraded to 29.0.1 for Mac. (The shooting star and the animation of 'space invaders'.) They are distracting. How can I disable the animations?

    If you prefer not to see excerpts on the topic: home page, you can set the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl an empty string on the about: config page.
    Delete the storage\moz-safe-about + House in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder (Firefox > Quit) remove the snippets stored in IndexedDB and use Firefox default value.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

    You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl the default pref to reactivate the code snippets.

    Is this to say that the problem is solved, or that you still see a logo animated on the default home page? If the problem is resolved, please mark the correct message as the solution. In other words, unless you honestly think that those currently marked resolved, in which case I'll just shake my head and move along.

    With updates from disabled, you just don't you new footage, which includes things like the animated map, flashing Firefox logo to the left of the code snippet and the bouncing star behind the main logo icon. You always get the default snippets included with Firefox, that are not animated.
