• How to add the mask into effect reference is Options for Composition with after effects CC 2014?

  The main reason why I'm updating my After Effects with cc 2014 is "composition for each effect options, including the ability to limit the area affected by each of the effects with masks". This useful feature really simplify my work. But now I realize that I want to use the script function.

  I get Composition Options the effect name and matchName.It looks like this:

  Name	Name	Name	Name	propertyValueType	Remove
  Composition options				undefined	ADBE effect built in Params
  	Masks			undefined	Effect ADBE Mask Parade
  		Reference mask 1		undefined	ADBE effect mask
  			Reference mask 1	MASK_INDEX	Flow path ADBE effect Ref
  	Opacity of the effect			OneD	ADBE mask opacity

  I try to use .canAddProperty ("ADBE effect mask") and .canAddProperty ("ADBE Path flow Ref effect"). However, it returns false.

  I found that add or delete this property in the user interface are the buttons '+' and '-', so maybe I can use app.executeCommand (app.findMenuCommandId (theCommand)); However, I can't find that button name because it does not have a helpTips to remind me of the name.

  So how do you add the mask with script reference? Or ESTK has no permissions to access this useful property so far? I have not found anything on the Internet.

  Moreover, I have an another two quick questions:

  1. If there is more than two masks in a layer, remove for each mask is the same ("ADBE Mask Parade") ("ADBE Mask Atom"). How can I use the Remove to get the second mask such as the name property? First I treat like a table, but ("ADBE Mask Parade") ("ADBE Mask Atom') [index] actually did not work, so that ("ADBE Mask Parade") (" ADBE Mask Atom'") (index) is referring to the child property altogether in the first mask. I have no idea about it.

  2. when I use the method property() with script, property ('effect'), and property("effect") are all the two ok. The only difference in the method is the single quotes ' and the Quotation brands "." I just want to know if the "and" have any difference in the method property (), except that "this color is blue" and "this color is purple" in ESTK.

  The advice and the answer would be appreciated.

  Yes you can add masks to the effects by script.

  If "fx" is a fx on a layer:

  var fx.compositingOption = co;                                  or fx.property ("ADBE effect Built In Params')

  var fxMasks = co.mask;                                            or co.property ("ADBE mask Parade"): INDEXED_GROUP j

  fxMasks.canAddproperty ("ADBE effect mask");    true

  var fxMask = fxMasks.addproperty ("" ADBE effect mask");

  fxMask.maskReference.setValue (1);                        or fxMask.property ("ADBE effect way Brook Ref") .setValue (1);

  If you can do short

  fx.compositingOption.mask.addProperty("ADBE Effect Mask").maskReference.setValue(1);

• How to send multiple files in After Effects Premiere Pro

  Hello, can someone tell me how I can send several files with aftermath of first pro and have the changes appear in the cut sequence in first pro after the backup? I would like to have my changes remain the same, but also like to be able to change them.  Is it possible to send the. MOV file and make it appear in the order that I already spent hours of editing?

  In addition, after creating a new composition in sequels, the film does not show in the preview window Comp. I'm sure it's a newbie thing, but can you please tell me what the H am I doing wrong? See the photo below.

  

  Also get error below:

  

  Thank you.

  You can have many compositions of AE related dynamically in a Premiere Pro sequence. Just select an item (or multiple clips) in the Assembly of the sequence, right-click, then choose replace with After Effects Composition.

  Note: this is not how I would do, but that's what you ask and a lot of people do it this way.

  I just usually copy and paste clips from first in an AE project, working on it in AE and then make it in an intermediate codec in AE render queue and bring back the file obtained in the first.

  I don't know what you mean by that.

  Again, I'm not quite clear on what you're asking. You can certainly do AE work and drop it in your Premiere Pro sequence.

  I'm not sure. Move your time indicator current far in your composition.

  It might behoove you to read the help on work with Premiere Pro AE file.

• How make/quick export in Adobe after effects CC

  Hello

  How can I export and make fast in Adobe After Effects, I bought a new PC, but it is not fast enough in my opinion.

  I want to export a project of 60 fps for 1920 * 1080, 10 seconds long. It takes a very long time.

  I've already put my GPU as CPU, but if I start rendering and look my GPU usage, After Effects will not use it.

  After Effects uses the GPU to almost nothing. See this page for details of the GPU features in After Effects:

  > "Verry long" is 10 minutes for a 10 second video.

  10 minutes is not a long time for a 10 second with Visual effects, compositing, 3D movie or many other types of treatment by high-performance computing. Often, people leave films of 30 seconds during the night or on the weekend to return. This is true for all the aoftware who does this kind of work, not only After Effects.

• Just curious to see how it would do that in after effect

  Little lost on how to even begin to do something like that. Can anyone give me some advice or put me in a good sense of how we go about creating this intro in Adobe after effect?

  Think layers and track mattes.

  Personally, I would create the work in Illustrator. Then according to the design I probably converting the layers of shap of vector layers. For some models, you can even use the path tools of offset for shape layers and as mattes.

• Rendering text solid composition layer after effects CC 2015 in Media Encoder produces jagged edges

  Make a layer of solid text in AE publication in Media Encoder product crenellated edges (really, really jagged, artifacts not only) on the text layer when 1280 Vimeo HD rendering:

  • Solid with the text layer, on the best quality switch
  • Composition of EI is imported on Media Encoder
  • 24 fps, 1280 x 780 Source Comp rendered using Vimeo 720 p

  After Effects:

  

  Media encode Vimeo 720 p:

  

  This looks much more than H.264 compression artifacts.  Any ideas why the text could be made so differently/badly in Media Encoder?

  So, it looks like a bug with the race on text rendering in Media Encoder:

  • OSX
  • After Effects 2015.0.1, build 13.5.1.48
  • Media Encoder 2015.0.1, build 9.0.1.29

  The text in red in the above examples has a white line (i.e. outline) applied with defined race "fill line".  Withdrawal of the race and redisplay in Media encode appears to render text smoothly, albeit without the trait, I wanted to actually on this subject.

• How to clear the Cache Adobe After Effect? I can't find file after effect project

  No one can tell you anything without the proper system or other technical details info. That said, it just seems that you have disk access problems on your system completely unrelated to AE. You need to fix this and then maybe the disk cache actually work...

• How trim/split a layer in After Effects?

  I started to animate using Adobe after effects CC 2015 and I have a few questions about the layers.

  I am aware that I can cut down them to the help option and support keys, however, what I wanted to do was to divide the layer so that there a gap between the two.

  For example, layer 1 is visible between 0:00 and 01:00, but what I wanted was to appear again at 02:00, leaving a blank in the middle section from 01:00 to 02:00.

  The only way I found to do this was to duplicate the layer then adjusting, but it requires a huge amount of layers.

  Is it possible to do so in the same layer?

  # You can do it in first however. The stuff you are talking about sounds a lot like video editing. AE is not a video editing software. This kind of thing is much faster and easier in the first.

  As Rick says, you can press CTRL / CMD + SHIFT + D to divide a layer. You can then adjust the layer or whether a second more to come, but it will be on a new layer. Alternatively, you can use hold keyframes on the opacity of the for keep on the same layer.

• How practical is it to integrate After Effects?

  Let's say I'm doing a video and I want to add some motion tracking for something in AE. I should just export this clip separately and import it into the first, or there at - it an easier way?

  First and AE use Dynamic Link to interact.
