How to combine character animator with movement sequences after effects puppet?

Hey community! I hope that everyone is having a good day/night

So I used successfully the facial recognition to my really cool talking characters with character animator, and I intend to do the rest of the artwork of the puppet/movement/scene in After Effects, but...

After I imported the scene in After Effects, I noticed that I have no control over the assets any longer, and the composition is just the stage with none of the layers... If After Effects will play the scene and I would exprt but that's all.

How can I combine puppets of the face of the host character with puppets and gestural stage with After Effects? My guess is that my workflow control is false. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I did it by creating an image file separated with everything except the head and then using this second file to animate in Ae.

It's easy enough to create the second body file (I use Photoshop) by dragging the layers appropriate to the library. It should also be possible to use the library in Ae.

This works well for me and so far seems more flexible.

  • My (not so great) experience with Premiere Pro & after effects CC 2015 after barely a day of use.

    Right off the bat, let me say that I wish that I had not being updated until 2015 CC this morning. I blame the hype and all the exciting videos, showing off the new features to deceive me in...

    After waiting more than an hour to install everything on my Mac at work, I fell quickly on the first question when continuing on a CC 2014 project in Premiere Pro. The project has had some 4K footage with clips made in them, who I pre-rendered for an obvious reason: smooth playback. Who had worked perfectly fine in CC 2014. But in 2015, CC, it didn't yet... at all. Reposting clips did not cause to run any tool path smoothing, nor did lower the playback quality, even at 1/16 of the resolution (while in 2014 CC that would be more than enough to cause a perfect playback).

    For the same project I also need to do some work in some After Effects comps. So I opened my project and immediately, I noticed that my keyboard pressings were not record 9 of 10 times. I don't think I have to explain why this is especially annoying (and why I went to pounding my keyboard with my fists...).

    As if this was not frustrating enough, mounting Panel started to act up and remained permanently in the foreground, whenever I started a RAM Preview (I use a Setup dual monitor and my editing panel occupies essentially the right monitor). There is no way to make any application to the foreground while RAM previewing, so I ended up having to drag my editing about Panel out of the screen.

    Also, is there a way to stop the new RAM made preview? I don't know it is because of the issue of keyboard or that there simply cannot stop, since the SPACEBAR and '0' on the numeric keypad does not a billion times another thing that frustrate me even more.

    To top it off, I had to also motion-track one, and you have probably guessed Cela has also worked like a charm! * Cough *. Follow-up went well, but as soon as I tried to stop the analysis and you press the stop button, After Effects simply crashed.

    So yes, it was about my day at work. How was yours?

    Allright,-all right, I'll get to the point; Where and how do I go back to CC 2014?

    I'm done trying to force on my eyeballs to the frustration, I'll give CC 2015 another chance when these problems are solved.

    Thank you

    Hi Daniel,.

    I've been looking around on the Forum and just found an easier way to do this via the updater of creative cloud itself:

    How to find and install a previous Version of Adobe Apps in CC 2015 | Adobe Customer Care Team

    The good thing is that I can now run the 2014 and 2015 versions without uninstalling one or the other.

    Thanks a lot for the tip and the response if!

    As for the issue of the first reading, I discovered that changing the rendering option in the project settings of the "GPU accelerated" for "software only" caused much less frame drops. This means that I can actually work with the 2015 first CC version! I'll stick however for now to the CC 2014 After effects version.

  • How can you fix problem of resizing video after effects?

    I have difficulties to make a video. After effects crop / resize my video after.

    My composition has several layers of pre composed it is 720 x 480 frame rate 29.97 and proportions to square pixel pixel game.

    The main composition has the same settings. When I visited, I check the rendering parameters and I find the same rate and size. When I in the output module settings, my video output is set to RGB, depth with millions of colors and color to premultiplied. Now, given all these things, I don't understand how I can fix the cropping/resizing that happens when I give the clip. No performance or warning sign is displayed when I click on the record button. I just found my video resized after rendering. Here are the screenshots of my render settings and output module details. Can someone please help me and guide me how to solve this problem? Help would be very appreciated! Thank you!

  • Need help with text in After Effects

    Hello!

    I'm new with After Effects and need help with something that should be simple.

    I use the effect of the stroke and Freehand drawing, and I'm trying to get the text to go from left to right, but for some reason any, that it seems to be random.

    Any ideas?

    Click and drag as you would layers.

    If you're new to AE, it would be a good idea to take a step back, take some time and go through these resources. Have solid foundation in how AE work will make things go a lot faster and with much less frustration.

  • I did a shape layer, and it moves in After Effects CS4.

    Hello

    I'm working on a project that has a lot of masks and shape layers to frame masks in After Effects CS4. For example the timeline that I am focusing is 3 seconds long; There is 2 keyframes in the shape layer (vertical rectangle), key frames are 3 seconds gap and are at the same position (511.1,89.5). If I go to the beginning of the seconds 3 press the space bar and let him play for some reason any moves the rectangle from left to right. Although keyframes aren't there, he is moving-even thought the last keyframe to the left is the same as the next keyframe law - as the first screenshot

    The best solution, I came up with for this is to copy and paste keyframes so that there is a keyframe for each frame within 3 seconds, then I get a schedule like the second screen shot.

    Is there something I could use where I could select 2 identical keys seconds out and make the form remain in the same spot with them into the second screenshot? It is speed and things happen quickly in this case isn't it?

    I also had an another question-are there - it a shortcut to insert a keyframe in the timeline? I found a page with all the shortcuts and couldn't find this one should be.

    Thanks guys, you have been life savers in the past!pic 1.pngpic 2.png

    As keyboard shortcuts you go to hold down the option/alt key and the keyboard shortcut ' Show/Hide properties ' to switch between adding and removing keyframes.  Adobe does not have the freedom to document them all in their page keyboard shortcuts, so here goes:

    Option + P: Position keyframe

    Option + R: Rotation keyframe (adds the keyframe at all values of rotation and orientation if the layer is 3D)

    Option + S: Scale keyframe

    Option + A: keyframe Anchor Point

    Option-T: Opacity keyframe (adding a keyframe of intensity if the layer is a 3D light)

    Option + M: Keyframe mask path

    Option + F: Mask Feather keyframe

    Option + L: Levels Audio keyframe

    * This does that for the single letter shortcuts - double letters do not work (i.e. TT for the opacity of the mask, RR for the time remapping, etc.).

    * Option + shift + the letter will work too which is good if you have reconfigured the Option + letter for other things such as throwing scripts - that I have.

    On the "boomerang" effect, I highly recommend you go to your preferences > "Général" tab and turn on 'by default spatial interpolation to linear', then you can manually add the Bezier handles to your keyframes in the composition Viewer if need be.

  • Dynamic links with, Photoshop and After Effects

    1 intent: Im using Photoshop CS5 (PS5) & After Effects CS5 (AE5) to create a DVD for still CS5 (5) menu. I used the 'Film & Video' preset in PS5 do a standard HD x 1080px 1440 image format; who looks the same in AE5. My problem is in the PS5 size "Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction" is the size I want the universal size to be. Its a more elongated version that looks better to me, but works well with HD monitors (as this DVD will play on a computer 17 "laptop).

    Question 1: Is it possible to have AE5 recognize the "aspect ratio pixel correction '' of PS5 and set the parameters of that size in AE5 composition?

    ```

    Question 2: What are standard sizes for computer monitors that would work welll especially with the Dynamic Link AE5 and 5 working with PS5?

    Question 2: What are standard sizes for computer monitors that would work welll especially with the Dynamic Link AE5 and 5 working with PS5?

    I love my monitors that are be 1920 x 1080. For editing, etc., it does not matter. Size to see all the controls, etc. is nice. The important part is keeping the proportions. Again, first, After Effects do default. When you preview material outside these programs, especially HD, some players (things of sense as Windows Media Player, Quicktime, VLC media player, etc), won't get the proportions provided, particularly when you assign to the 'full screen '. They are likely to play your movie to the size of the screen, and it will depend on what is perhaps the "native resolution" of the screen. Look for the settings of these programs which retains the proportions.

  • How can I keep my audio distortion in after effects CC 2015?

    original MP4 plays fine, but when I convert audio to keyframes and add audio effects immediately distorts and even deformed suite made. Help, please

    Looks like you just overload the audio bus by throwing on it effects without actually understanding what you do for audio.

    You cannot work with audio without looking at meters.  Find the audio player.  If you see a lot of red, you simply too make noise for the audio to manage bus.  By turning the effects up to 100% is a sure sign that is happening.

    Of course, the best way to deal with this is to work with your audio files in an audio application.  After Effects is a terrible to work with audio place.

  • Problem with sampleImage in after effects CC 2015 (Extendscript / Expressions)

    I have a weird problem with a script that adds and uses an expression containing sampleImage.

    The script is intended to add a 'color control' for the selected layer, sample a pixel given RGBA value and this value is used.

    I test this with a red pure solid.

    Here's the script in a basic form:

    var myComp = app.project.activeItem;

    var selectedLayer = myComp.selectedLayers[0];

    var addColorControl = selectedLayer.Effects.addProperty("Color Control");

    var expr = "sampleImage([0,0], [0.5,0.5], true, (time+0));";

    addColorControl.property(1).expressionEnabled = true;

    addColorControl.property(1).expression = expr;

    var res = addColorControl(1).value;

    $.writeln(addColorControl(1).value);

    After effects 2014, he wrote the following in the console:

    1,0,0,1

    Which is correct for the solid red.

    But after effects 2015, the exact same script and circumstances (solid red), gives this answer:

    0,0,0,0

    However, if after I run the above script I then run this:

    var myComp = app.project.activeItem;

    var selectedLayer = myComp.selectedLayers[0];  

    var getColorControl = selectedLayer.Effects.property(1);

    $.writeln(getColorControl(1).value);

    It prints the correct answer to the console:

    1,0,0,1

    As I said, it works very well in the previous version of the AE (2014), but not in the current version. This works not just some great scripts that I use, and it would be nice to be able to use it in the latest version has crippled.

    Anyone has any ideas on this subject?

    It reads like a bug.

    To 13.5, we changed sampleImage to work asynchronously in some cases (so sometimes in the AE UI you will notice the 0,0,0,0 with a gray color value, which means the sampleImage is actually calculated).

    But this is _not_ a case where sampleImage should be allowed to run asynchronously.

    > However, if after I run the above script I then run this:

    It probably works because it causes a delay, and at the time wherever it is done, output from sampleImage returned the expected result.

    A work around is simply insert a .sleep $(1000), but maybe it's not 100% foolproof.

  • Question of proportions when you replace a clip in Premiere CS6 with a Composition After Effects CS6

    Please help! When I try to right click on a clip in my timeline first and replace with After Effects composition, I can do it, but problems ensue.

    After Effects lights, but the composition will be in 4 / 3, even if the project and clip that I'm alters were the two 16:9.

    I was able to change the aspect ratio of 16:9 in After Effects and then change what I wanted, but an hour later, when I had finsihed, saved and went to the first, he smushed the clip replaced 4:3 in the first.

    To reitterate:


    When I replace a clip in first with a mock-up of the AE, AE opens in 4:3.

    I can change the model of EI in 16:9, but when I save and return to the first, there smushed the model of EI down to 4:3.

    What can I do to stop this?

    If you right click on the item in the project Panel, then select Edit / interpret the images you will see a Pixel Aspect Ratio.

    What did he say?

    If she says 0.9091 then change to 1.2121

    If she says something, come back and let me know. Then I will have a different answer for you.

    Also, what is the size of the frame of the video.

  • Problem with exporting from After Effects

    Hello everyone,
    I exported a video media of first cs5 windows (it was shot with the Canon 7 d).
    Video 1 video channel, 1 audio channel that contains a conversation and another audio channel that contains only music.
    After that I exported it, I imported the video into After Effects cs5, I added a few effects, and then I exported it as a video windows media.
    The audio settings are:

    Music mode
    voice audio codec windows meida 9
    audio format 20 Kbps, 22.05 khz, mono

    Even if the video of the first has been flawless, that of After Effects contains the conversation perfectly, but the music is very low and even erratic.

    Anyone encountered this problem?

    Use the audio compressed in AE. Use the ordinary WAVs and their depth of rate and little match native plug of your audio hardware, so AE not needd to resample and 'mix' it consistent for playback.
