Effects of lightsaber using the dynamic link with Premiere pro and After Effects CS4

Hi all

I'm working on a video project and that you want to add a lightsaber effect, but a layer which is suppose to be transparent isn't using dynamic links.

I shot the video in my head, and everything else hidden.  I made a flash body to put my head on.  Now I know how to make a lightsaber in After Effects CS4. (starting with comp 1 with videos making a white solid layer, and then using the tool pen to make the sword.  Then copy the sequences video and place it in comp 2.  Then to return to comp 1 and remove the video sequences. then on comp 1 making a SOLID BLACK LAYER {that's the problem} and place it under the layer of white.  Then duplicate the white layer 3 times.  Changing each feather white layer mask to make the glow.  so going to comp 2 and take the 1 model and her nest to model 2...  Then change the blending mode of the model nested 1 to the screen.

The main timeline in Premiere Pro CS4 and I have the video layer 1 to Photoshop file which is pink and the background of this project.  I made a dynamic link to After Effects and copied and pasted the video images and flash to the comp.  Here, I made the lightsaber.

That is the problem.  The model of dynamic links with video, flash and the lightsaber will not show my pink background in Premiere Pro shows him my video, flash and lightsaber but the background is black.  In case of problems, I noticed if I turn off the LAYER BLACK for the lightsaber effect, I see my pink background with video and flash sequences and the glow of sabre, but my blue lightsaber color will not appear.

Do more problems I set photoshop to lightsaber model file and I see the video, the flash, the lightsaber but I think because the background is pink I don't get a color glow to the sword (vilot color)

If the layer of black is supposed to be transparent, so why can't see my background in Premiere Pro using dynamic links?

appreciate any help I can get,

Thanks in advance.

Mr. PETER K

P. S. - one-way I kinda had this work was I took one of the masks of white and copied and pasted layers in nested layer comp 1.  Adjusted to the width of the mask and the pen and I got a glow of blue ok.  You just can't mask width too because it shows a lot of black.  It is not as good as I want and I hope someone can help...

Thank you again...

Well, blend modes don't create transparency, so the behavior is correct - because technically, the background of the model is ignored for the mix of operations, in areas where there are no content below for the mix, only the layer of black color is used. You create transparency good, real luminance based on unmultiplying, that can be done with the Knoll Unmult plugin Red Giant Software (free) or the effect of changing the channel of the AE monitoring bey a color delete effect.

  • Problems with dynamic links between Premiere Pro and After Effects

    Hello

    dynamic binding (insertion of After Effects compositions on a Premiere Pro schedule) rarely worked properly since it was introduced. Problems vary (for example "media disconnected" made plates, old versions of comps rendered).

    What's worse, is that you can never tell what will be ultimately made out of Premiere Pro. Thus, a typical professional workflow to several projects together to finish during the day and batch overnight rendering can cause a catastrophe.

    Of course, the option is to not use dynamic link. Which makes then less competitive whole adobe.

    This subject has been widely discussed for years has been a dynamic links. I'm not the only one having this problem, and the problem is far from new.

    My only question is:

    Adobe: have you ever fix dynamic links?

    I don't really understand how you focus on software development in your company. The vast majority of the features of CC is little or not useful. The most important thing in a professional environment is consistent and reliable - performance can you please focus on that?

    I'm inspired to write this post because I just arrived in my edit at 07:00 only to find that my night makes is the wrong versions. All bed very well in the body and AE, damage the final rendering off Media Encoder used an older version of one of my compositions, and that I have nothing to send to my client.

    Title edited by Kevin Monahan.

    Management of files Adobe seems to rely on the names and the last path of known files. Body loses links Dynamics (and other files) with frightening regularity in a situation where nothing has changed in the hierarchy of files, the files.

    16, when a hard disk of 8 GB was a huge drive, Pro Tools has been littering files on several disks because, as was the creation of audio files in real time, she had to. Digidesign introduced into a system which incorporated a unique program generated number in each file. Since that day I have never had a problem with lost files or correlate. I can move them anywhere, on any system and any PT session concludes that they are with total reliability - and we are talking about a lot of projects with thousands of files, through several studios. If you are looking for files, you can choose to use the identification number, the name of the file, the length of the file, or any combination of these. Which allows for the substitution of file.

    Until Adobe address this problem with a solution similar to that of Pro Tools, we'll be constantly beset by problems.

  • Dynamic links between Premiere Pro and AE (CS5.5)?

    Okay, then, here.

    I edit my main footage in Premiere Pro. I recently bought a denoising software which is only compatible with After Effects, so I've been using the denoiser plugin in After Effects. Once I changed my basic video cut in first, I select all clips (included audio) in the timeline panel and open in a new model of EI. Once it has been opened, I do all my video major alterations in AE (for example, noise reduction). Now, when I try to export the project as a project of first Pro (PP) and open it in the first, it does not load the project. It's just an empty sequence. This isn't a big deal, because I tried something else. I tried connecting the composition of EI EI to PP which works, but it is very slow and precomposes all individual clips in a video clip.

    So, just to go on it again, that's what I did: cut clips in PP > selected all the clips in the timeline of PP and them open in a new AE comp > published the individual clips inside the model AE w / effects that are not supported by PP (only AE supports the reductive effect) > open the AE comp edited pp > then the model came as a clip video précomposé instead of individual clips.

    So, my question is, how can I get the model of EI to stay as individual sequences when I open it in PP in case I need to adjust something? Is there a way to do this? Or should I just do the very last denoise effect?

    Two other things:

    (1) I noticed that it is extremely slow in PP to render a model of EI parts... is it just because of the added effects?

    (2) I transcode my videos to the ProRes 422 format before I put it in PP. Once I put the clips in AE and then again in PP (if I figure out how), the clips will always be the same ProRes codec? I need them to be the same codec due to the adjustment of colours and effects later in the post.

    Thank you if you can answer this! ANY help is appreciated! I have explained this about as good I can, so if you don't understand my question, just ask, and I'll try to give you more information. Thank you!!

    You use dynamic links, which consumes tons of RAM because it runs mainly AE and body at the same time. The temporal part of your denoising tool can slow things. Other questions are naswered easily

    In short: you make your living difficulat using the monstrosity that is the dynamic link. A more cautious approach based on files would most probably speed things up a lot.

  • HOW CAN I GET A HP LASERJET 4V IN ORDER TO PROPERLY USE THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO XP PRO AND USB USING A PARALLEL CABLE?

    HOW CAN I GET A HP LASERJET 4V IN ORDER TO PROPERLY USE THE OPERATING SYSTEM TO XP PRO AND USB USING A PARALLEL CABLE?

    The printer works at all with this cable?

    The cable has recognized and installed by Windows XP when you logged on to the computer?

    If the cable has been recognized, what steps have you taken to install the printer then (be as accurate and complete as possible)?

    You get an error message?  If so, please provide, without paraphrasing.

    This printer has already been installed on this computer?  If so, with what type of connection?

    And especially, what is the brand and model of the USB to parallel cable?  Many of them do not work.  See, for example, the comments here , which suggests that 25% of the units will simply not work.  This seems to be one of these products you should buy at a local store, rather than on the Internet, then you can continue taking it back until you get a working unit.

  • Why is 'Edit in Audition' greyed in Premiere Pro and After Effects?

    Since the launch of CC 2014 option in Premiere Pro and After Effects to 'Edit in Audition' is grayed out. Right-clicking on a clip in Premiere Pro is not an option for hearing. I can't send my compositions, sequences or clips to Audition for audio editing. I contacted Adobe Support staff earlier this evening. They suggested to go to my Mac system preferences and allow the root user, log out of my account, connect to the root user, stop and start in safe mode. None of these scenarios worked. He is always grayed out in the two user accounts.

    Is this a known issue? I even uninstalled and reinstalled the hearing. Still nothing. All my Adobe apps are updated. My Mac is updated. Yet once, never had this problem before.

    I'd appreciate any help!

    Thank you!

    See you soon,.

    I may have an answer for you, but do not know if my resolution will work for Macs.

    First of all, here is my system and the initial info. I use a work computer, OS is Windows 7. I've just upgraded to Adobe CC 2014 a week ago, and I also uninstalled previous versions of all my programs creative cloud after installing new versions (CC 2014 is not simply to update the previous version, it installs a new program and does automatically uninstall previous programs of CC). Not sure whether to for this resolution to work the uninstall.

    In any case, after I installed first Pro CC 2014 and 2014 CC hearing, the Clip edit in Adobe Audition command was available in the Edition in the Menu bar menu, but has been disabled in the context menu to the sequence (for the context menu, it was visible, but gray and disabled). When I tried to use the command in the Edit menu in the Menu bar, he gave me a dialog box fill and it has created a new folder (called "Adobe Audition to Exchange"). So, the command, when selected from the 'Edit' menu has obviously uses a different process from the command in the context menu. Anyway, I didn't want a new record created, or to fill a dialog, I wanted to just behave like he used to. In fact, when I right click on the sequence and select Edit Clip in Adobe Audition on the shortcut menu, it just opens the hearing and the audio waveform is visible.

    I was able to solve this problem and get the right click command works by reading a few articles on this same issue of Adobe CC (not CC 2014) and those to help understand how to solve this problem in Adobe CC 2014.

    Here's what I did:

    • I had to find my .sesx files in my system. They are NOT in the same place, as they were for the previous version of the CC (at least, they were not for me). I had to use the command search and find extensions of .sesx to locate.
    • Found under the path C: > users > Public > Public Documents > Adobe > hearing > 7.0 > model Session. Note that (for me), there is a folder called 6.0 at the same level as the record of 7.0 . I selected the 7.0 folder this folder contained the most recent set of files of .sesx. I checked the folder 6.0 and those are the .sesx of the previous version files, so I deleted this folder as a cleaning step.
    • I clicked on one of the. sesx files in the folder Templates of Session chosen then Open with on the shortcut menu. The Open with dialog box displays and provides a list of programs.
    • I selected Adobe Audition CC 2014 of the list of programs (you may need to browse to find it) and always use the selected program to open this type of fileselected. I then clicked on OK to submit the order of configuration and close the Open with dialog box.
    • I rebooted first Pro CC 2014 and the Clip edit in Adobe Audition command is now enabled in the context menu and worked properly.
    • I cried with joy... OK, not really, but I'm still peeved at ridiculous regression errors and lack of extensive testing of new versions of the software, so I'm glad the frustrating problems.

    Don't know if this will help you, or if you already solved your problem. Whatever it is, good luck!

  • Premiere Pro and After Effects start since December 2015 update

    Apparently I'm not the only one having this problem since Adobe put out a new update for these two programs a few days ago. I've updated, now Premiere Pro and After Effects launch. Not at all. Keeps giving an error message. Uninstall/reinstall does not help. Everything worked well until the recent updates and I've been a Cloud customer for two years now. Considering that this isn't the case just for me, but several others, it probably has to do with something in the update.

  • Is it possible to use the dynamic link twice? (from creation to AE)

    I made my edit in Premiere Pro (SC6). During my work I had to use the dynamic effects as a stabilizer of the chain link. Now, I'm finished with the work on the creation and would like to redo the calibration color effects. But now, when I import the entire Premiere Pro project in AE, all videos I have already related before, don't work/game more in AE. I also tried to use dynamic linking again rather than the import option. But it's the same problem.

    Is there a workflow to publish excerpts from the first sequence in after effects by dynamic links, and then when I got there also change the whole first sequence in After Effects?

    Maybe I should do in a sense the next time? What would you suggest to do in this case?

    Thank you

    Philippe

    You cannot create cyclic connections. The clips using DL already should be rendered correctly before being able to use the DL on the entire sequence.

  • Dynamic link with AE, increment and save?

    Hi all

    I am super frustrated.  I have a project of creation that is dynamically linked to a composition of AE.  I need to make the management of versions, and I prefer to use the method 'increment and save' in AE.  When I do, first refresh NOT the newest of the project folder.  I read online that there is a parameter "Dynamic Link with after effects uses project file name with as many ' in 'General', but I'm absolutely not that.  Can someone help me please?  I'm tearing my hair out here...

    This preference is in After Effects, first not Pro.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects works well with the merger?

    Hey everybody,

    I'm in the middle of a semester at the University and I use Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects (Windows version). I was wondering if the merger would work well with these programs? I intend to the latest update of merger next week.

    The mac I use is an iMac in August 2008 (running 10.5.6). 3.06 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HD, and a Nvidia GeForce 8800. I also install Windows XP Pro edition and the value of using two processors and 2-3 GB of RAM.

    I will also put it on a new account make sure that practically nothing is running while im current merger.

    I use this for my final college.

    Edit: I forgot to mention. I use CS3. My school has not yet updated in CS4.

    In addition, you think that a 64-bit version of Vista will work best and then 32 bit XP on this partition?

    I love Fusion as much as anyone here and use it a lot. But, in saying that...

    You use this something really important - your final college. You need to perform at its best performance with as few problems as possible because you don't have a lot of time in your semester left (in the grand scheme of things).

    My advice - do not experiment. Work around the merger (as heretical as it may seem on this forum) and first and AfterEffects in a punt in native mode Windows XP OS that is on a BootCamp partition. Video editing will focus on i/o and graphics of your system performance - and nothing works better for this than the native access to the system.

    Running two processors in a virtual merger with computer on a machine with 2 hearts can lead to better performance and is not recommended.
