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.

  • need help with text effect

    I would like to use a graphic of the query (source AVI) as my overlay on the text.  How can I do this?  I use AE CS3.

    If I understand correctly, you want to use your text as a cache for the video layer Layer (IE, view video content within the text), right?

    If so, there are two ways to do this.

    One is hidden.

    Make sure that the text layer is located directly above the video layer in the timeline.

    Press the "Toggle Switches/Modes" button at the bottom of the timeline panel.

    When you do so, AE displayed in this column the mixture and follow the fashions masts instead of layer switches (motion blur, 3D, adaptation etc). They will come back if you press the button again.

    Select the video layer and then hidden in the menu "matte Alpha - (your text layer name).

    This means that transparency in your text layer information will be used to hide the video layer.

    Of course, it works with any type of layer, as long the masking layer is located directly above the layer hidden in the timeline (a way to circumvent this requirement is to use this effect rather than matte controls, but we don't need to get that fancy right away)

    For more information, see track mattes and caches using After Effects.

  • Need help with timing of the effect!

    Hello! I currently own Adobe CS5.5. I have not touched After Effects for awhile now, I would like to use an effect and be able to start and finish the effect whenever I want bascially, but I'm not sure on how to do because it simply works the effect through the entire video I'm editing. Help, please! Thank you!

    Easy-peasy!  Just set keyframes for the effect to animate properties.  The closest together set you keyframes in the timeline, change things faster.  You can drag the keyframe around, too.

    I have seen a lot (on the forums with over 1000 pages on some discussions) is to add a block 'paging' of the code that made:

    1. two or three pages before the current page
    2. two or three pages after the current page
    3. a dropdown menu with all THE listed pages

    The button or the 'next' link is just a copy of the last link in the online list.

  • Amateur needs help with the film grain effect

    Hey all,.
    Make a third year project design a level of a game that aims to reflect a film noir 1940 (essentially). I was wondering could someone give me an idea on how I would apply a superposition of film grain effect to the camera, to give the impression of noises or his old age (if necessary). Pretty stuck with this and any help or idea would be amazing. Thank you. The grain of the film obviously cannot be a static transparency on top. See you soon.

    The only way is by exchanging an ovelay 32-bit textures (with alpha) but in

  • BlackBerry smartphones HELP! Need help with text and Email folders.

    Hi everyone, I just lost my cherry Blackberry today. I am the proud owner of the Curve 8900 and could not tell how much I love him. My previous T-Mobile G1 has nothing on this phone.

    In any case, here's my problem. I have two icons on my homescreen, the 1st is an envelope and the 2nd is an envelope with a globe in it. On the first envelope, I get my text, sms, mms AND gmail, a 2nd (envelope with globe) I only have my gmail. Is it possible to separate them so this icon of an envelope is only for text messages sms & mms and one strictly for my email only?

    I'm having a really hard time finding it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Raul.

    Hi Raul and welcome on the BlackBerry Forums

    The envelope is the main e-mail folder, and the envelope with globe is the specific folder for each e-mail account.

    To separate the e-mails and SMS follow this

    Go to the folder of main messages, press menu (the BlackBerry key logo), options, General options, SMS and Email Inboxes change to separate.

    Thank you.

  • I need help with start up after changing the username.

    I downloaded El Capitan on my MacBook Air without any problem.  Then, I changed my username under user accounts.  I restarted my computer, as has been suggested, but now when I type my password to connect, it just goes to the El Capitan background screen and nothing opens.  All I see is the color wheel and the display of the mountain.  I think that its not to recognize my account.  How can I fix? I tried to go into safe mode, but I don't know how to fix it once I am there.  Can someone help me?  Thank you, Sandi

    How did you change your username?

    You cannot change an account name in system preferences. You can add or delete accounts and change a password, but change the real name requires a lot of technical work via the Terminal application.

    Your first screenshot shows the layer style dialog where not all types of effects are indicated on the left. Bottom left of the dialog box, you see a small icon fx with a menu arrow drop-down. Use drop down the menu and make sure all you click on show all effects or restore the default list. I don't know what you're trying the shoe on the second screen capture.

    Hi BSRC$, in stock

    1. You have security software installed on the computer?
    2. You receive an error message when you restart the computer?

    Reinstalling Windows XP to the factory setting would not be the first option.

    It is possible that some third-party programs or the services installed on the computer interfere with the installation of service pack 3.

    I suggest that you try to uninstall service pack 3 from the computer by using the recovery console and subsequently ask the article below for what to do before installing the service pack 3on the computer.
