get the selection instead of the puppet pin tool marquee tool

I imported a png file in the new composition and wanted to distort the image with the puppet tool, but instead of the puppet pin tool that I always get the marquee tool

tried to keep Alt, Shift, Ctrl, did not help

puppet pin tool works fine on the other compositions. It's the first time I encounter such a problem with the puppet tool. What is going on?

AE CS6 on win7

First question, what size is this file? I don't see any dimension.

Second question, it is necessary to have layers in this picture? Looks like you apply puppet pin on the entire fly.

Third question, have you tried to reduce the size of the file in Photoshop to about the size of your computer and then saving it as a png 24-bit or single-layer PSD or tiff with an alpha channel?

It is difficult to know because there is no detail about right PSD, but it could be wrong, too much color space, or have another problem that I don't see.

  • Programmatically create the puppet pin

    Hi all

    I would like to ask whether it is possible create programmatically puppet pins...

    I tried to copy the structure of water courses ("ADBE FreePin3", "ADBE FreePin3 Mesh", 'ADBE FreePin3 PosPin Position',...) pins created manually with

    corresponding values, but when I create, broadcast this way they are disabled (AEGP_DynStreamFlag_DISABLED - and greyed in the user interface).

    I assume that the Summit "index ADBE FreePin3 PosPin Vtx" is just an index in the table stored internally in the form of arbitrary data so that the mesh and the PIN must be created somehow before you set these values.

    I found this thread where they try to do the same thing using scripts (also unsuccessfully)Create of corner puppet on a mesh existing via script

    I have some ideas on how this could be done using the SDK, but all involve them diving into the dark waters...

    -call the method EffectSuite::AEGP_EffectCallGeneric with mouse fake click events (PF_Cmd_EVENT) or some directly if the effect of FreePin supports PF_Cmd_COMPLETELY_GENERAL orders

    -use 'FreePin Suite' - which is not a part of the public SDK but can be acquired using AquireSuite... - but as it is not public, I guess it works with a memory that's not so sure touch even if I managed to get/create file header appropriate for this suite

    Perhaps there is a simple and elegant to create those pins that I completely forgot, then I'd be really grateful for any suggestions

    Thank you very much!

    Here, I just find a workaround...

    Step 1: save an animation preset with a puppet effect applied (with desired number of pine trees - but it does not matter where you place the pins)

    step 2: apply this preset to a layer (using AEGP_ExecuteScript ("app.project.item (index) .layer (index) .applyPreset (presetName) ;")) - which will add the puppet with pins effect

    step 3: change the flow of existing pine vertex offset values by using stream suite

    step 4: reset (Pines which will reload the State internal - will jump to the right place)

    step 5: change position of vertex streams using the suite of flow

    So all you need is a set of files .ffx with a different number of pins puppet used - because they cannot be added programmatically - but it is possible to modify existing ones...

    Thanks a lot for your support!

    See you soon,.

  • method toComp on the puppet pin position property returns values ghosts

    To try to fake this girl character, I had a strange behavior came. I was able to work around it fairly easily, but it happened to me that there is something I don't understand. My level of experience with expressions is relatively low, but I have some experience with Javascript for the principles are clear.

    What is annoying me, is that my procedure works fine in a simple scene created entirely in AE. However when I import a .psd file (using composition - keep the sizes of layer), the same approach becomes useless. I feel I'm missing something on the sizes of layer with respect to the compositions or something, or come across a bug.

    OK, this is my first post and it is a bit involved. I was always able to find answers by searching online or in the documentation. Here goes.

    I'm trying to implement a character using puppet pin, I'll link to NULL values as part of a more complex setup on the road. My general approach is to implement the ankles first and see how it moves manually before creating nulls and connect the pins to the positions of NULL values. So far, so simple. To get my NULL values to the exact position of my ankles, I pickwhip the position even in the position of the PIN, see what are the coords, then delete and put in the coords manually to null. Once NULL and the pins are aligned, I just link the pins to the NULL values of an expression in the property of spindles 'position '.

    This all works very well in my simple scene consisting of a solid layer with applied puppet pins and NULL values. Null values align with the pins perfectly, and I don't have to convert the coordinates of PIN for model space or whatever it is. The coords pins seem to be in the computer space already. Then I can link the pins to my NULL values and all is well.

    However, in my complex scene that is generated from an any .psd, the PIN coords do not match the model space. They are very weak and seem to live up to the layer of that the puppet effect has been applied. If the null ends up far to the top left of the model.

    No problem. We just run toComp on the position of the axis, and we should get the model space pin coords. But I did not. I get something off path.

    Why does not the positions of pins match to the model space automatically my comp psd-based, as they did with the simple model?

    It is even possible to successfully run the toComp in the following way

    toComp (thisComp.layer("R_Arm") .deform ("Puppet Pin 1") .position.effect("Puppet").arap.mesh ("Mesh 1"));

    or is the return of the

    thisComp.layer("R_Arm") .deform ("Puppet Pin 1").effect("Puppet").arap.mesh ("Mesh 1") .position;

    not the right to be an argument of toComp data type?

    The coordinated pins just layer based coordinate as another or are there other factors involved?

    I would like to be able to set up the pins where I would like them and bind them with corresponding NULL values exactly the coordinates so that the work is not jumping when I their link.

    More generally, is there any attribute of a psd file that can affect the coordinate system of a model generated when importing. The file in question contained all the regular layers, plus a group of 3 (which came as a demo the full size of the main computer, as expected), no effect of layer or anything like that of other fish.

    Someone more experienced with the expressions and coordinated spaces in AE have an idea of what I'm missing?

    I think it would be something like this:

    L = thisComp.layer ("blue solid 1");

    L.toComp (L.effect("Puppet").arap.mesh ("Mesh 1").deform("Puppet_Pin_1").position)

  • How to get the device Pin code?

    Is Hello possible to get the BB device PIN in Android? Something similar to DeviceInfo.getDeviceid ()?

    Finally, I fixed all my problems.

    I had errors: TOO_MANY_REGISTRATIONS and SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

    TOO_MANY_REGISTRATIONS is set by the phone factory reset. I seems that recording is not completely cleaned when I delete applications and restart the phone. Is there a solution to this? Some cleaning functions, I have not found in the software?

    SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE was inside the BlackBerry Simulator ever on the phone.

    Download the DevicePin:

    Use this 'Tutorial' https://developer.blackberry.com/developer/android/apisupport/creating_push-enabled_android_apps.htm... But download the GCM.jar with the Manager software development kit. To do this click "Obsolate" below and you will find the 'Google Cloud messaging for Android Library'. Put it in your make libs folder right click-> Add as library and put "compile files('libs/gcm.jar')' in your build.gradle

    If you now use the following code, you get the devicepin:

    GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);GCMRegistrar.register(this, SENDER_ID); String regId = GCMRegistrar.getRegistrationId(this);

  • How to get the default rotation tool locate the pivot point in the exact Center of an object or a group of objects?

    My new copy of the CC the default pivot set to one side, rather than at the center point. I know I can manually move the autour pivot point, but this is not always accurate. Is there a way to have HAVE determine exactly at the Center and then do this by default?

    Pivot the tool rotation default to the center of objects and the text box (frame). For text of Point, it is by default the anchor of the line base, and for a group of Point text objects, or multi-selction defaults to the geometric center of an invisible shape formed by the collective reference anchors.

    And you are right, that the setting of Center in the attributes Panel is not available for text of Point, single or multiple objects.

    I don't have an idea for your particular workflow needs, but if I really need to turn a group of objects text around its Center Point, I could do this:

    1. Select the group, and copy
    2. Paste in front
    3. Vectorize
    4. Select the converted objects and text objects group, then select the rotation tool and the pivot will be by default the Center (of the converted objects)
    5. After turning, remove the converted objects.

  • Puppet pin layers greying out

    Hello. I learn how to use pins of puppets, I run into a problem.

    Sometimes I put my pins, goto another point on the timeline and then press "Reset" to bring back the pins to the original location. However, sometimes I will cancel it (since I didn't like the time when I reset to), but it does is erase the entire animation that I put in place with my braces and the layer of puppet pin called in the comp window all gray of the tower. I incorrectly use the Reset button? Thank you!

    the solution I found is in the puppet Pin tool settings in the Tools window

    If you change the settings extension or triangles you will receive your PIN

    (be sure to first click on your mesh in the timeline).

    change to something else (add a point or something) and change it back.

    It happened to me and cannot find the solution online

    But what I've noticed, it's when you reset - change you expansion and triangles to their default

    and then, when you click Cancel, it changes what you had previously.

    I did add another number (for example, instead of 50 to 51)

    and voila! the pins are back. then I changed it to what it was.

    If you want to reset, you must reset your points and not your tool

    by right-clicking on the post and the "Reset".

  • Impossible to get puppet pin move with layer

    I've separated the Illustrator images for a character, I applied the puppet pins in one of the layers and tried to turn it. Puppet pins remain stationary, they do not move with the layer. It's frustrating, because all the instructional videos I've seen, says ' just turn and move the mesh ', but it does not work. Even if you move the pins, the image gets cut and twisted which is only within the mesh.

    Any advice? It is with Adobe CC last on a mac.odsGuy_aep__.jpg

    This will never work. The effect coordinates are relative to the layer, not the computer. As a minor, you can use the .tocomp (layer 9 space transform convertthe coordinated, otherwise you have to dial before your stuff.
