Need help to transform a shape layer in a layer mask blur adjustment

I understand how to do a blur mask on the image adjustment layer, so it blurs the images below, which is essentially what I'm trying to do, but in this case, I already have the shape layer (or rather imported from Illustrator > converted to a shape layer) and is in a nested composition.

First of all, is it possible to blur the images of a composition if the adjustment layer is nested in a composition of the child, or the adjustment layer must be in the parent publication; the composition is blurry?

Second of all, how we simply take a form that they have already created and use that for a mask, in this case, a mask that will blur everything below?

Forum thanks!

There are a few things that are not effective in your workflow and your approach.

Lets talk first about the Illustrator files in After Effects. Firstly, absolutely the only reason you would ever convert a layer to illustrator in a form would be to use animator tools found in the add menu at the top of the shape layer properties in the timeline panel or to animate a Bézier path on this layer. There is no other advantage in converting a vector layer to a shape. NONE.

Second, if you want to hide an adjustment layer then you can draw the mask directly on the adjustment layer or any layer with transparency, including an illustrator layer, layer photoshop, any hidden layer or layer shape directly on top of the adjustment layer and use this layer with transparency as an Alpha or Alpha reverse cache by approach to the adjustment layer.

You can use the luminance values of any layer that has no transparency that a luma or reversed hides by luma approach. The white areas offer transparency with luma standard. IOW, if you have a radial with white in the middle and black gradient on the edge and you use a luma matte and white will be transparent on the layer below.

Standard caches only affects the layer immediately below the source.

Adjustment effect layers each layer directly under the adjustment layer. Masks and caches can be used to control the effects of an adjustment layer.

You can also use masks on any layer to control the effect added to this layer if you have a recent version of AE. You will find the option under options to Compositing.

If you have any layer with transparency or the strong luminance values, you can use Auto Trace to generate a cache for this layer based on transparency or luminance. Any way shape mask or Bézier path can be copied and pasted to another layer.

We will take your last question now. You should be able to answer. To use any shape you created as a mask, you use this layer as a track matte.

We will change that approach a bit and assume that you have created a shape layer by using the pen tool or converted an Illustrator layer to a shape. You have a path that you can be found by selecting the shape layer and by pressing twice the key U. find the path you want to copy, rotate options path to reveal animation controls and to set a single keyframe and then copy (Ctrl/Cmnd + c). Even of the forms created with parametric tools like star, ellipse, rectangle can be converted into a path by right-clicking the shape and selecting convert to paths. When you have copied the path put you on the layer where you want to paste the path, select the pen tool to begin to draw a mask, click anywhere on the layer and paste it (ctrl/cmnd + v) and that you have created the mask. This works for forms and masks on any layer.

Here's a bet to keep everything by copying and pasting masks. The size and position of a path is calculated from the center of the layer and has no relationship to scaling, rotating, or the position of the layer. If you drew a mask on a layer that is resized to 50% and moved to the top right of the comp and rotated 45 ° and then paste this path to any other layer you will NOT get a path in the same position and the same size as the layer sampled in the model. You end up with a path that match if every sampled layer transformation properties have been reset and the layer was at the center of the model and the rotation and scale were normal. You must pay attention to this issue by copying and pasting traces of Bézier.

I missed a question type. If you nest or call a layer previously and there is an adjustment layer in the main computer it will affect all layers below. If you dial before a layer and a top adjustment layer then only layers in the nested model will be influenced by the adjustment layer. I replied before but wanted to make sure.

BE very careful when you watch YouTube tutorials on workflow because a growing number of them is bad teaching techniques and pointing you to the bottom of the dead-end alleys. Make sure you vet your training.

If you have any other questions the best place to find good community resources is to type a word in the search help field in the upper right of the AE. For example, if you typed layer adjustment or masks, you would find a lot of very good advice on how to use these features.

Transform a shape layer with several groups/paths in another?

Hello
I'm trying to turn the form A B-shaped into aftereffects.
Both are drawn in illustrator, and I imported into aftereffects and diverted path to forms.
At the moment I do a key framing color and the path in the sticky on the form A and form B. From there I will meet with two questions.
(1) for now I have to manually open each group, every path, every feature of color until I'm able to keyframe them. After that I have to paste the keyframe of the track and keyframe colors individually to the corresponding group. It's doable, but I have to turn the form in 10 more other variants. Just want to check is there a shorter way to the key all the way to access and color properties frame. And then copy all of the keyframes from one form to the other.
(2) I noticed that not all the points on the path are created equal. I think that the "starting point" is noted with an extra box compared to other points.
As the "starting point" of a path is different from the rest, the transition has become weird.
Can I check if someone knows how to change the "starting point" to another point on the same path? Or y at - it another way of fixing?
Finally, if there is more easy morphing shapes to another, I'll be happy to listen. Thanks a lot ~

I would do this kind of thing differently and 90% of the work in Illustrator.

I would like to begin by drawing a path in Illustrator, to duplicate the path and to change the size and position and change the color of the outline of the color I wanted for the inside of the first form at the beginning of the animation.

I use then the gradient tool to create a blend between the two forms specifying the number of steps, so my first form duly filled out for one frame looked like this:

I would then do the same for my second form by using different colors, so I got this:

With the two mixtures on you will see this:

The upper mixing layer is where your animation will start and the bottom is where your animation should end.

The next step is to select Merge layers and spread the mixture, if you find yourself with two groups:

Here comes the fun part. Select groups, and then specify the number of steps you want as long as the number of images that you want in your animation. In this case, I want a second 1 transition and my comp is 29.97 FPS, so I selected 30.

Now spread the mixture:

We should end up with a group at layer 1 with 30 subgroups:

Ungroup the higher group only then deselect all layers and select a single layer, then choose release to layers (sequence).

now select all sub layers in the layer panel and drag it above layer 1. Layer 1 is now empty, so you can delete:

Save the file HAVE and import into AE as a model with the size of the layer keeps selected:

[Open the model, select all layers, move the a CTI frame to the right by pressing Ctrl/Cmnd + arrow to the right, then press Alt/Option +] to set the out point of all layers and then the wizard from keyframe to the layers in sequence without overlapping:

I usually go to the point of exit of the background layer and press N to set the work area exit point, then cut the comp to work area.

This model is then nested in your main comp and you can activate the time-remapping, so you can change the speed and use CC force motion blur to smooth animation.

You will find it much easier to create the morph to a shape layer in Illustrator those in AE, you don't need to convert anything to forms and most of the work is done for you before you start. Total time to create this project with about 1/4 of the time it took to create this post.

How to make a clipping to shape layer mask

I'm building a small widget to the web user interface, and trying to keep all of my the most changeable elements, I can (form of layers) and things instead of rasterize layer effects. I have a shape layer that makes a badge in the shape of burst, and he has a gradient on it overlay to give dimensionality. Now, I want to put a circular layer topped on it (with a transparent gradient melted in it) to give the badge a big nail gloss. The problem is that if I do the badge, a layer of cutting for the circular Fermata, the climax gets covered by the gradient on the badge overlay. I thought maybe I could dupe the badge shape layer, stip effects, then cut the nail that and set the fill opacity to 0% - making a transparent layer... but this is just the highlight disappear thus (I suppose that elements within the clipping mask are considered by embankments - and this is also why the gradient on the Baden he covers if I hang it there).
If I just rasterize my bland-in gradient and use a vector mask on it that has the same shape as the badge, it works fine. But it is not as elegantly resizable. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

Select the layers you want to hide, and then click the G command to put them in a group, and then either create a vector or a mask bitmap on the group. If you are having problems with the effects and how they interact with the mask, double click the effect and change the settings in red

Very new to Adobe PhotoShop need help with unlocking of a layer

OK I practice with some instructions and tutorials to familiarize yourself with all the capabilities of Photoshop (Ps) program. I'm trying to follow these instructions here, How to turn a photo into a painting. CC Adobe Photoshop tutorials however, when I click on the area of layers the bottom appears to be locked? When I click on the new layer appears asking me to name the layer. I wanted to just follow the instructions Adobe give verbatim but how to unlock it to continue with the other steps in the instructions? Help, please!
Oh, I forgot to add, I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Not a Mac. I'm looking to see how I can unlock this image layer. the lock icon appears gray?

Looks like you need convert the background into a smart object layer. You can right-click on the layer in the layer panel and choose Convert to smart object, or you can go to the main menu and on the Filter tab, select convert to smart object.

Need help fixing slow tool shape

so here's my problem, the rectangle tool / shape tool is very slow and takes long to work with. It was working fine before and now ever time I try to make any shape it takes at least 5 seconds for it to create the form... everything else works fine. It's just this one tool that gives me any questions. any help to solve this problem will be appreciated.

found a solution that worked for me, I had no choice in time do so I uninstalled Photoshop deleted all entries in reg for it and installed it again. the problem disappeared. works as it should now.

Need HELP with a shadow shape number internal

I create a rounded rectangle and add a gradient and an inner shadow (angle of 120). Then I create another rectangle rounded corners and when I add the gradient and inner shadow, I can not change the internal shadow at 30 degree angle (I want the two rectangles to be the opposite - inner shadow on the left one and the right of the other), but every time I change it it changes the two rectangles. I tried new layer, done to dissociate the vector mask - all I can think of - someone knows how to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Need help to create the shape that people have to go to a page

Hello
I am trying to create a form that people would have to complete and submit to access a specific page. The info they need to go to an e-mail address. Does anyone have the simplest solution for this? It should not be stored in a database simply go to an e-mail. Any help would be appreciated. I am not great with the backend of things.

Thanks for getting back to me. What I have is a pricing page. The feedback form is so that we can see who views or interested in the services. We don't want people who fill out this form in order to see it. I created simple contact forms that are sent to an email and directed to another page. The problem I have is trying to find a way where I hope that if the same person comes back they will not have to fill out the form again. I don't know if they will fill and create a login/username that could be a possible solution, but I try to make it simple. I'm just starting to learn PHP/XML (which I copied from other sources) and wrote my own. Maybe create a cookie which is verified once the page is loaded? I don't know how do either if... I'm a front-end "designer" and much of this is Greek to me.

I don't know any way to directly put the handles. As Xbytor says, most writers I know not to make the transformation in the GUI with the plugin from scriptlistner running to get the parameters or the value of the DialogModes DialogModes.ALL and allow the user of the script do the transformation.

Everything seems simple are you I just want to make one thing such that to rotate or translate. He also seems to be ok if you want to translate, scale, rotate and tilt in one direction.

When you try to do all that things get strange. Is now greater output of scriptlistner parameters in the options bar, and these changes vary with which point anchor is used.

I let fall a long time ago trying to understand this and now follow the suggestion to use different saved transformations or let the user themselves.

Need help with transformation Script
Well I'm back for the 2nd time today. I would like to thank all those who helped me with my last issue. But now I have another question that I'm developing. Craig & Dan here me helped with 2 separate sending email responders based on questions in the form.

You can view the form on this link:
http://mswebsol.com/gaslockguarantee/creditapplication.cfm

The problem I have right now, is that I don't get the results that I'm looking. Basically lets say you choose Yes to all 4 questions but on the 5th issue, you click on no. Well as it is now the script sends the answer by e-mail indicating your accepted. But what I'm trying to make, is that if you choose not to one of the questions you will automatically get an e-mail response that says you are not admitted.

If I choose not to question, I'll get the answer correct email which is "your not accepted" to make it work for the first question. But if you choose Yes to the first question and no to the 2nd or any other question you will get the wrong answer that says "you are accepted."

Here is the code

< Cfif StructKeyExists(form,"Q1") >
< cfif form. Q1 is 'Yes' >
< intrusion via cfmail > accepting... < / intrusion via cfmail >
< cfelse >
< intrusion via cfmail > not accepting... < / intrusion via cfmail >
< / cfif >

< cfelseif StructKeyExists (form, "Q2") >
< cfif form. Q2 eq 'Yes' >

@ Coldfusion newbie
If I understand you well, all your if/else logic boils down to a simple:
(1) one of the answers is "No" - send 'rejected' by email
(2) all the answers are "Yes" - email "accepted."

I suggest you cfparam all default = 'no' on your action and answers
the page, so that you don't have to keep control of structkeyexists:

...

After that, all you need is:

.. .send 'rejected' code email here...

.. .send 'admitted' code email here...

Need help with dodge/burn the layer

I am wanting to dodge/burn a photo that I have edited with several layers. If I do a double bottom layer, then the healing marks appear. If I do an empty layer, nothing of the dodge and burn appears. I don't want to have to flatten the image. What I am doing wrong? How can I get it works.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand correctly, you want to dodge/burn on the net result of all of the layers. If so, add a layer of white on top of the stack and do Alt + Shift + Ctrl + E. This creates a snapshot at all underneath. Identical to flatten the image except that all the underlying layers are preserved. Then make your dodge/burn on this layer.

Need help troubleshooting transformation slow speed on my new iMac

New iMac, purchased in August 2015, worked well until this week. Now, everything happens very slowly. Color wheel, slow, typing speed, applications crashing, etc.

It's an iMac with 1.4 GHZ Intel Core i5 and 8 GB of memory. From this moment, I have 433.16 free BG to 498.93.

I just upgraded to 10.11.1, but the speed slowed down before the upgrade.

I have a suspicion of naivety that recent web video game adventures of my son may have something to do with the slow down. He's young, and he may have clicked on somehing involuntarily. Is there a way to eliminate unintentional downloads? Other suggestions?

Thank you!

"Transform each". How each group in a shape layer automatically adapts?

I have a file HAVE a fish composed solely of points. Hundreds. When I transform a shape layer I want then to each point on the scale of 0%, of the center of each point, NO Center of the whole fish. Basically, what "transform each" made in artificial intelligence. Is there anyway to do that without having to ask a transformation for each group to the inside of the shape layer itself, perhaps expressions or a plug-in or a another method? I made a map of the Australia last week manually and it drove me almost crazy *. And it's only 50 groups.
The only other way I can think is to do at the start of each point a layer separated in illustrator, which would be a headache, but would be even better than the manual method.
* the reason of insanity is when you copy / paste the attributes of each group in a form, there's a chance, it will replace the path in this group with one of you copy and paste attributes. I do not have 100% understood the rhyme or reason to this

If there is transparency between the points and you want to make small just apply effect > Matte > Simple Choker. If there is no transparency, and you can create a cache of luma and, before to compose, then apply Simple Choker.

possible to paint on a shape layer?

Hi all
Question about paint on a shape layer. Is this possible? I know that I can paint on a solid that I tried all diff combos and found it going to paint on a solid but I can't my painting to paint on a form.
Is there a way or a work around to achieve? I use a form instead of a SOLID layer to access the value of the extrusion BTW. I tried to use the > ADD > stroke in Ahmed to cheat in this way. Yet I do not get a second trait seems to be one. However, I can race around the fill for the shape, but is not the area I hold out.
A photo for clarity, as it may seem always so clear when you type, it's another thing to be on the receiving end and trying to encryption
Thanks for the help in this topic or a work-around.

Read my first post. You need not more of a shape layer. With your bucket selected shape layer, select the pen tool and then draw your second way on this layer. Determine the race for the second white path and stop filling. EZ as pie. You can have thousands of different paths on a single shape layer.

Layer Mask question, please help.

Hello
My layer mask does not work, do not know what is happening. I use 4 CS. I want to use the blend effect so I put the photos on a white background. I click on the layer mask on each photo, select the tool brush on the picture but does not work, is either appear black or white when I use the brush paint on it. So not bad, the foreground color should be gray & white based on layer mask, but it appears black & white instead. Please see the screenshot below. Please help, thanks

Hi, I'm going to try explain your problem.

In your posted example we see that you have three layers in the layers panel.

On each layer, we can see, on the left side, there is the thumbnail of the layer, it is a display of the actual image of your layer, then a thumbnail of the layer mask (the white rectangle on the right side).

A layer mask works as follows: you tell Photoshop to show or hide the actual parts (pixels) of the layer with the grayscale values. Indicates a white pixel on the layer masks Photoshop to display the area of the image with a (non-transparent) full opacity, while tells a black pixel on the Photoshop layer mask to hide the layer completely (0% opacity.) Gray values will therefore partially show the image data.

But you paint on the document, and you must specify Photoshop if you want to paint on the image (what you did in your example, and you don't want to) or if you want to paint on the layer mask (what you want to do). This indication is called targeting. It is simply done by clicking on the thumbnail of the layer or the layer of your layer mask thumbnail. (By clicking on different areas of a layer in the palette layers are different orders, you give to the program). For example, if you want to move the layer that you hide to another, in order to paint on his mask, sure to click on the layer of the other layer mask thumbnail in the layers panel.

In Photoshop CS5.5 and earlier versions, you'll see that a layer or its mask is targeted because there will be three contours around her: a black, a white and a black once again, as the actual layer data in the highlight 0928 your image layer. You should see these three contours around the layer mask to paint over it.

CS6 the target indicator is different, look in my image, we can see that the layer mask is targeted with white corners: I then have the part of the black layer mask by targeting the layer mask in the layer panel and then paint on the image where I want to hide the layer.

If you want to change the layer (photos, in your case), just click on the thumbnail, and you're ready to go!

I hope this helps.
