Hair dye in After effects?
Hei,
My question is above.
How can I dye my hair in darkest legacy?
Thanks for your replies
You can isolate any detail in a picture in AE, but it requires a fairly high level of competence and pre-production planning. The better pre-production planning and more the quality of the original film the easier than it is to do. It's all about creating mattes (masks). There is no magic click button problem.
According to the pictures, it may require that you:
- Follow in Mocha, stabilize Track Motion, Motion, track, track camera mask
- Rotoscoping, Rotobrush
- Adjust the color channels
- Use the blend modes and pre and roto comps to combine multiple caches in a usable hand pole
- Matte and adjustment layer with the (possibly dyed) color effect applied)
To learn more about these types of techniques, none of the items in the field find help in the upper right of the AE and learn about the resources of the community.
The basic procedure is to isolate the hair from the rest of the image. It is usually a 2-step process involving a rough selection (rotoscoping, mocha track) on a copy of a copy of your film layer, then isolate and separate the hair of the immediate background by manipulating channels color and luminance, so you can create a cache in order to limit a color changing effect. That's why pre production, planning and high quality is essential to the process. Blond hair blowing in the wind with your market through a wheat field model is going to be very difficult. Blond hair to the wind with your model on a dark background which is quite monotonous just is going to be difficult.
Open the pictures that you plan to use and take a screenshot and drag it to the field of response on this forum so that we can see what kind of images you have to deal with. Yet these frameworks are all available on Adobe Stock video clips. If you have not drawn the images still find something similar and we are pointing to it.
4 hours really hard work because of the soft edges and soft in the foreground - perhaps for 10 second tour:
Easier - perhaps a few hours for 10 seconds:
Well planned and shot - maybe call 45 minutes for 10 seconds:
The most difficult part of this shot is separating the hair out of the face.
Lastly but not least - of good luck with this one:
It would be possible but blur of movement and the uneven background would be a bear to deal with.
Here is a start on the "easy" one - the workflow is:
- Duplicate images
- Mask to follow from the outside of the hair and face
- Start working on the details of the outline of the hair using Colorama to get some dark borders outside the hair
It's that I received this morning. Took me about 15 minutes. Here's what it looks like:
The procedure will be repeated for other color values using additional hide until you have enough layers to combine in order to get a black mask and decent white generated when the hair is black and everything else is white. I guess about 4 or 5 more duplicates. The girl walks so I'd probably motion stabilize the whole thing so the rotation of the hand would be easier. I would use just a solid black to fill all the holes between it the edges. All duplicates in grayscale would be composed pre and which would be used as cache by approach for one layer setting I would use to tint hair. The second set of 15 shot probably would take two to three hours to perfect. Here's what it looks like with a layer of black shape quickly drawn to fill in the hair. The hard edges around the face and shirt can be fixed with some pre mattes more. The blonde is now a red head:
Good idea for a tutorial. I should write a book - hint hint

I have a 2011 Mac Book Pro with 8 GB of RAM and The RAM Preview plays in 10 second Incraments. I want to pull out my hair! I don't have the sum of $ to buy a new computer. If I switch to 16 GB of RAM and get a new drive SSD will work After Effects, or I lose my $$. Please help, I have a very important project. It is about 12 minutes long and I need to add a lot of sequelae to complete my project
First of all, you have optimized your system: Optimizing after effects of performance - Support Adobe
Second, it looks like you are fairly new to AE and that your workflow is not very effective. Here's the deal. After effects is not an editing application, it is a graphics and compositing designed app to create shots or short sequences. In addition, I would say that more than 90% of my AE projects are less than 10 seconds, because I created shots (with handles - extra images) I'll change in the body or some other NLE. Some of these comps second 10 have a hundred layers or more. If I had to do 12 minutes into a movie I would fuck the cut first in Premiere Pro to understand what was the best way to tell the story, then each shot than necessary effects would become a separate AE comp. At the very least each scene must be a model. In most of the stories that are told, as a film, a scene are only a minute or two. The average is probably less than 6 seconds. I can't imagine putting together 12 minutes in a single model AE, not because I couldn't, but because I would probably change the "timing" of some of the cuts, edit audio or make some other change before I made and changes in the middle of a project of 12 minutes would be a nightmare.
Here's how a work on almost all editing projects.
- First installation in a NLE such as Premiere Pro until the story is logical
- Put the shots in AE requiring animation or effects
- Inside AE, I first make a test pencil to check the overview and animation timings with the Panel of the model to 50% or even 25%, and automatic resolution scheduled to ensure that the timing is ok
- Effects are added and critical frames are checked 100% for color and everything else but I rarely to ram preview several frames because I'm already happy with the calendar
- The model is sent to the SOUL (Media Encoder) or sometimes the cue to render to render in a production format appropriate (usually 10-bit or better, often a sequence of images)
- If the model is sent to the SOUL I continue to work on the next shot until I finished all the effects work
- The effects of rendering images are reduced in the NLE to replace shots in the rough cut and editing is polite
- The project is then added to the hearing for the final mix
- The final color ranking is made - usually in the category of speed or resolution
- The final product is made to a production for archiving format and a format of distribution (usually h.264 mp4)
There are a lot of bounce back, but it's the most effective way to work on any project. Have you noticed that an overview of full resolution RAM full length does not at any time?
If installation requires only a few short shots or sequences to AE, I will occasionally use Dynamic Link, but most of the time all the effects work is made. It just makes it much more efficient.
I hope this helps.

After Effects composition will fill is no longer in the Media Encoder.
Hi guys.
I'm pulling my hair out with this recurring issue with encoder.
Ive been working on a 24 minute or so video and I made a habit of stopping every two minutes to check if the Media Encoder will get the composition. 2 hours in and its always appearing, but 30 minutes later he no longer appears. No matter how I back track, I can't make it appear again. This is the 3rd time its past and with so many hours invested in it, I really don't want to do it all works again.
Anyone of you knows what's causing this problem or better yet, a way to fix?
Ive tried to give thanks After effects manually, but the video is still too big, and I never has audio and jerky images slowmo.
In summary, I don't want to do 12 hours of work yet again. Help, please.
Hi the Hatman,
Ive been working on a 24 minute or so video and I made a habit of stopping every two minutes to check if the Media Encoder will get the composition. 2 hours in and its always appearing, but 30 minutes later he no longer appears. No matter how I back track, I can't make it appear again. This is the 3rd time its past and with so many hours invested in it, I really don't want to do it all works again.
Make sure you have the current versions of both applications.

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard disk and a lot of memory and have in what precedes. If you have upgraded the RAM to 8 GB memory and installed a disc hard solid state, you could do the program usable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You don't have a slot open for add a 4 GB memory module. It is a simple upgrade relatively inexpensive. See here:

http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/ct51264bf160b
I'll try this one step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. It would cost maybe $150. If you need assistance.

You can duplicate an objects in illustrator as you do in After Effects?
In After Effects shapelayer you can create an object and the duplicate in a script inside the AE and decide how many copies and where they should be placed.
Would be great if this could be a similar thing in illustrator.
If you want to create bricks in a wall or windows in a House.If this is not such a thing how you create bricks in a wall without having to copy and paste several times.
/ Mattias
Have a look at the appearance Panel and the deformation and transformation > transform effect.
This allows to make multiple copies and add many effects that can be changed whenever you like.
The result can be saved as a graphic Style.
So, do a search of appearance and graphic styles in the help file.

You probably have the 32-bit version of Windows - Adobe After Effects since version 10 (year 2010) was only in 64-bit to run it, you need a 64-bit operating system.

Navigation on the bridge of After effects
I am learning effects and got to the "Classroom in a book" section, which deals with navigation in Bridge by clicking on "Browse in Bridge. I have the latest versions of the two After effects CC and CC Bridge installed. However, when I try to browse in Bridge of after effects bridge rises and I am able to navigate to the folder I want to (in this case text animations) but then bridge freezes solid or I could get a notice that After Effects does not recognize these files (extension .ffx) and the only way I can release a bridge is to use the force quit option. What's wrong?
For the last several versions of AE and Bridge did not play very well together. If your CC applications are all up to date and you are still having problems, then your system has a bug, probably caused by some dirty text in one of the AE user library files. Personally I don't think it's worth a try and sort. You will find it much faster to just use the effects and presets Panel and read the descriptions of the presets, then test them in AE. I find that all of the preset animations provided with AE are just a convent of departure. I never used on any job without making some serious changes. I always use a small number of them as point of departure, but once figure you it out how animation of text work you be better off and work faster by applying only one of the presets is kind of what you want and then after pressing the button U twice to reveal all the changed the text layer properties You can play with the settings and even add multiple hosts to achieve the desired effects.

First has a function of snapshot as After Effects?
Hello
I use After Effects SHIFT - F5 to take and display snapshots all the time. But first have an equivalent? I know I can use the camera icon to SAVE a snapshot, then import it, then view it, but this seems really bulky. I do a calibration of the colors in the first and you want to store and discovers a frame of reference at the touch of a button, just like I would in AE. I searched around but still just results of After Effects!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

after effects closes on startup, not removable video card

Lately, I get this message:

First of all, I got this message from random and every time I got it I had to force my laptop. At present it shows only upward when you start after effects cc 2015.3.
The after effects and my drivers are up to date. I run windows 7 64 bit on my laptop.
Someone know a solution for this or do you think that it's hardware related?
Thanks in advance.
