png text animation in After effects

I have a logo of a company I wanted to animate to appear as if the script is written. There is a .psd file I imported all the layer containing the letters I want to animate. I tried used STROKE and a tool of the pen in an attempt to create a path that I want to wrote the text, but I think I'm doing something wrong. I confess to not being too familiar with how to do this in After Effects, but I'm on a deadline with the customer and need advice. Can anyone help? Here's the .png file, I created since the .psd.

You will encounter problems with crisscross lines that need to be addressed by splitting the layer when the race goes through intersections. The technique is relatively simple. More your text and lines more overlapping, you have time eating is.

First add your text layer to the timeline (from the PNG you provided is too much.) You could crop so it was exactly the size of the text), and then add a solid red to the model and set the blending mode to screen. You will be able to see the text through solid matter. Now with the pen tool carefully trace a mask on the layer of text path. Once the complete trace add Strokes to the solid layer and adjust the width of the line to make it wide enough the entire text. Animate the in or out point so that the footsteps of hit on the text, and then set the line on transparent. Now use the STROKE layer as a track matte for the text layer. As the line reveals the text there will be places where it crosses the lines of text and spoils the effect. At each crossing point, you need to add a mask to cover the intersections. I do everything by rubbing through the timeline and make my masks just big enough to cover the spoiled intersections. You set the masks to subtract or check the invert box. When you are finished, you will have a bunch of holes in your text layer. Here is how you fix this.

Scrub through the timeline until the race arrives at the first mask. Select the text layer and the matte, and then press Ctrl/Cmnd + Shift + D to divide the layer. Move to the front of an image and remove the mask which is at the origin of the hole. Go forward until the line appears across the hole, divide the layer and remove the mask caused the hole. Repeat until you have all problems solved.

Here's a start to the project using your supplied PNG file. I made the first crossing a few for you so you can see how it's done. I drew only a few masks on the text. You will have to do the rest. One last thing, you will see an additional path on the track matte layer which does not cover anything. This race is here to give time to the pen to move from the first mask on the S to the following letters. Setting the length of this race is an easier way to fine-tune the time to animate the end point of the race. Enjoy.

A note more, I probably would have just used a text layer in AE for this work. There is nothing special about the PNG file that couldn't have been done more efficiently with a text layer.

Animation in After Effects with videos

During the animation in After Effects, instead use a background Uni, can I use a video as a background and play as the character moves? I don't see why it wouldn't work. I've seen people question about animation Flash ect and the development, but I need to animate in the AF. I hope someone can help out me!

There are several ways to create a die animation between Photoshop and After Effects.

Here are two simple methods:

1. create a platform of character parts in photoshop (head, torso, branches) on separate layers. Later, import those into a project and animate as individual layers.

2 animate in PHOTOSHOP. If you animate traditionally by the drawing of each image in Photoshop, make sure that you start on an empty layer (not a background merged/flattened). You can then import the photoshop document as if it were a movie, but still have the ability to change it.

animated transitions (After effects workflow cp8)

So I have a PNG of a photoshop project, I created, I use that as my title of Cp8 slide put a button under the word 'Start' which takes me to slide 2.
Slide 2 is actually a .f4v video created in After Effects, without the skin, with all the elements (text, graphics) of the .png animation off-screen. Slide 1 slide 2 are exactly the same, so when the transitions (fixed image) s1 to s2 (video) it should be transparent.
However, the screen turns white for about a second when you click on the button 'Start '. How to stop this 'leap' and get a nice transition seamless?
Action button (under the word 'Start') is continuous. Why the discrepancy between the two slide 1 and slide 2. I spent all day on it, reinstalled Cp8, was on the phone to Adobe... aaaaaaaaaarrrrggggh if anyone can help me solve what they can marry my sister!

Insert the video as the video synchronized several slide

Select the option of extending the duration of the slide to accommodate the video

Change the following line in your AdobeCaptivate.ini found here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 8 x 64

UseWidget7 = 1

Put the button on top of the video and set the pause button at the beginning of the video.

Set the action to continue.

How can I change a layer of text in an After effects project without opening it in After effects?

Hello Adobe, I am a student of web developer, and I want to build a Web site that can help change the text layers of an animation made by After effects for Flash Professional
so, how can I obtain or export an editable video project I can change by coding? I am a beginner in multimedia.
Thank you

Which is outdated Tech XFL has been scrapped and still, there were no significant work on the export of XML from the EI project. You must use scripts like pt_OpenSesame for projects to export to an editable text intermediate file or create your own set of tools, possibly including both expressions.

rendering of 3D animations in After Effects?

So I use Blender to render 3D images that can take forever depending on the samples with the engine cycles. Basically, I wonder if I can import templates 3D and then create an animation using those, and if after effects will make more effectively or even not at all.
specifications are:
CPU: i7 4770 k @ 3.8 GHz
GPU: GTX 780
RAM: 16 GB DDR3

C4D Lite lets you import 3d models and render in AE, but if you want a really fast rendering engine, try a third party plugin such as element or 3D Invigorator.

Import PNG sequence starting from After Effects (or anywhere)

For some reason when I import a PNG sequence on stage, he takes over all the png in a frame rather than distribute them in their own keyframes as it is supposed to.
I've seen this problem posted before. Does anyone have a solution for this?
I also saw that people have posted that Flash CS3 HATE after effects png... how weird... I'm starting to understand this.
All solutions?

I have cs3 and aftereffects and I tried what you described without any problem. I imported to the stage with the playhead on frame 1, I chose the first ping in the sequence, that I was asked, that there seems to be a sequence of images, and I wanted to import the sequence

Select your text layer, and then open the character Panel. In the upper right corner, you will find the menu of the character Panel. Click on that and reset the character Panel.

Adjust the text back in after effects CC with a script .jsx

Is it possible to adjust the indents of text with scripts? Specifically, I'm changing "margin left indent" and "first line indent" from a script. I know that I can reset the paragraph styles (which defines the dashes to zero) with resetParagraphStyle(), but I'm trying to set the specified values.
Thank you

As far as I know, script doesn't have access to the dashes.

Fastest way to export a Jpg/PNG/TIFF image in After Effects

I was wondering if there was a faster way rather than to use the render queue, it would be great just the chronological marker position and export!

(Urgent) Stop Motion Animation in After Effects?

It IS URGENT I need to make a request to stop in a series of photos that I took, but I need a simple way to do this instead of having to individually make drag and edit the shots.

After effects exported in Adobe Animator? How?

Hello
I'm doing a text animation. It is easier to do animation in After Effects.
I want to use the animation on Muse so I made a png sequence and transformed the After Effects in a sequence of images on Photoshop. Then tried to shoot this sequence in a gif file that has not really loaded. (Perhaps too long) (Animation of 30 seconds)
From what I've read online, it seems that I should have done this animation on the host as it's more user-friendly web. But for example the typewriter effect is not available on host Adobe.
Any help would be appreciated
Is the only way to battle through on the host? I can get some of the after effects effects and drag em over host. After Effects directly to Muse seems difficult.
Thank you very much
Harry

After Effects export video. So the only way to get something of the AE to animate is as a video file. It's probably not ideal.

Premiere Pro / After effects editable text / contrast color

Hello
I'm working on a project where I've implemented text editable in After Effects in a first draft. In AFX, I have a shape layer that runs a script by defining the size based on the text layer. So far no problem.
Now I'm looking for a function change the color for some words in the text in the first. Any suggestions how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Solved with a script within After Effects that allowed me to edit host beach related to text layers that are not visible in the model, but can be changed in the first. If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to help you.

Best regards

Flash & Premiere Pro or After effects?

Looking for advice, I'm a graphic designer without formal training in the animation. I got a job that I just can't pass up.
It's a great opportunity for me to learn animation. I need to create a cartoon mascot who will be in an environment, which will be as lively.
It will be animated for presentation, seminars on site, youtube, and webinars. Will be also transferred to a flash to distribute.
I would also like to make the effects of text/information, as well as to animate on the web.
I'm trying to choose a product from Adobe which will help me to achieve this goal, did some research and was interested in it, just do not know which product to use.
I like what I see so far on the Ae, but when I called Adobe they said Flash & Premiere Pro.
I'm currently learning web design, it would be better for me to learn a program for making a presentation with creative, for videos and web effects.
I have heard all different things about flash on the web,
and I really didn't need to get in a tangle mess of change and to import files for animation on the web.
Is the right product for me to learn Ae? or Flash & Premiere Pro?
I have CS6 Masters collection. I want to achevive presentation and cartoon 2D with the same program,
on all platforms for the web would be nice too.
I need to make a decision because I need to educate myself to achieve a creative presentation.
Any suggestions on which program to start out with would be wonderful too!
Presentation of the seminar, videos youtube, email and webinar, a program to learn... is this possible?
Your help on this issue is SO appreciated!

Flash Professional is used for cartoon animation a lot, especially when you use vector graphics and the creation of output for the web.

After Effects can be used for character animation, too.

If a graphics card is not on the "Supported" list, this does not mean that it doesn't work. All you need to do is make a simple text change in the 'cuda_supported_cards.txt' file to make it work. See the Top 20 MPE Gain Chart and note how many cards not supported is there. And Adobe has been negligent in the update of this list. For example, the 680 is supported, but not mentioned on this list.

Another way to see this is to go to the test results and then select video card / GeForce 600 series and (currently) see 51 results. If you then click in the column heading "Video card" it will be sorted by card. Clicking again will reverse the sort order.
