New in Adobe After Effects pls HELP

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way (don't like how hard I'll learn) to wipe a layer of video but animated at the same time, kind extinguished like a watery wipe away so maybe part of the video drops or something. I was wondering if this is even possible.

your help is highly appreciated

Sam

How to do a wipe like that is to use an animation of liquid that flows (or sequences) as a track mattefor single layer reveal the layer under.

Here is a downloadable project for a wipe nice watercolor you can take part to see how it's done:

Since you are new to After Effects, I highly recommend you start here and work your way through the bases. This will avoid a lot of frustration.

  • New in Adobe After Effects (CS4)

    I'm relatively new to AE and I have a very basic question: can After Effects import and work with long files - 1 + hours or more?

    I always thought AE as tool for small clips less than 10 min. but I'm new on this and don't really know.

    I'm working on a research project with Harvard University and the University of Michigan.  They study the educational practices in schools across the country.  These 'observations' are performed remotely by using a webcam to interfaced.  Files that is given to me are of low quality of ASF files.

    In some cases, the identity of some students must be hidden - I can do this work in Premiere Pro.  In other cases the whole video needs a treatment of "concealment of identity" - these are the files that I am hoping to change in EI.  I'm looking at using the rotoscoping the Toonit for this filter.  When I use Toonit in the body is a very slow (several hours) process.

    Also, a consultant on work with ASF files would be very useful.


    BTW, I recommend that all new in After Effects start here.

    So basically I can hear all the sONFERENCES when I saw it, but when I make it I cannot here any sound at all. I tried to get the sound on Auto and on. But nothing works.

    Hello! I don't know which is the error in English but right now, I'm having a big problem.

    After the After effects update to the new version (I've not deleted the old) I get and error when the AE opens, I could see the interface but after that I get the error:

    "El programa funcionar correctamente por un problema dejo. Windows cerrara el programa y the notificara if exists una respond. "

    (The software stop working properly for a problem. Windows will close the program and notify if there is no solution.)

    Software in English, SO in Spanish.

    Not the extensions or plugins installed (I think because I think they are all in the previous version, not in this one)

    I want to build a pc for better video editing with the soft first Adobe pro and Adobe after effect. Should what kind of material I buy for it. If you suggest me pls. my budget is about $2500

    You will have problems in the construction of a 99 X system for this budget. You need 32 GB of ram if you do that will be a large part of the cost with DDR4 right now. If you have a room on the X 99 budget would certainly be the way forward. The 5960 X is the best processor out right now but $1100 will probably push your budget. The 5930 K would still work and a much better price for your budget. I suggest: 970GTX with this budget as well. Forget the Xeon V3. They are out of your budget and not worth the price with this budget in mind. You can get a system much better with the I7 Haswell E chips.

    Is not possible. After effects CC is the only software to subscription. You pay each month and download all the updates that are included. But you never admit it.

    If I pay $20 monthly for 1 year as he says, at the end of the year I will always be able to keep the software without paying for it again (not to mention the upgrade) and use it.

    N ° after 12 months, you either renew your subscription or you cancel your plan.

    If you choose to renew then you keep paying your monthly fees. If you choose to cancel then the software will stop working until you choose to renew.

    If this is not how to pay for it and keep it forever, and how much it will cost me?

    There is no way to buy CC pure and simple and keep it forever.

    The only version you can afford and keep it forever is CS6 (the version before CC) available here
