Problems importing files .wmv in After Effects.

Hello. I know that there is a question like this, but I can't use any other file format, because:

Every time I have import or try to play or rub the file (.wmv) in the timeline, it displays an error:

After effects error: frame of reading of the "D:\" file... error (4) WMV ".

(86: 2)

How can I solve this problem? I have the AVCHD camera and I (HD Full HD) video editing in Corel Video Studio. BUT! The file format that BEST is .wmv when I export my films. I did an action movie and I want to add effects in AE, but it shows this error. I CAN'T JUST USE ANOTHER FILE FORMAT. Y at - it anyway how to solve?

In any case: AE CS5 will support WMV WITHOUT ERRORS?

Thank you very much.

I'm going to echo previous posters convert your video to WMV to work at AE is one of the worst things you could do. So from a point of view of quality and a workflow perspective. Yes, the uncompressed files are large. you have to find a way to work with that.

Why the WMV is bad? I'll call you my friend Dave LaRonde After Effects of CreativeCOW .net Forums:

Response to Dave #1 Stock

If the images you imported in AE are all sort of what follows - images in a codec to acquire HDV, MPEG1, MPEG2, mp4, m2t, H.261 or H.264 - you must convert it to a different codec.

These kinds of sequences use the time compression or inter-trame. They have keyframes at regular intervals, with information of the full frame. However, middle managers have all the information. Codecs inter-trame launch duplicate information.

In order to maintain maximum efficiency made, AE needs complete information for each image. But because these sorts of images contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.

WMV falls into the same category using interframe compression. Even if you have used files directly from your device, you would have still some problems because your camera uses MPEG-4 h.264 compression.

Try to export Corel a QuickTime using the PNG codec (I've never used the program, so I don't know if they give this option, but it is still visually lossless and a little less large files).

    What is the best way to get a SVG file generated from After Effects?

    Is there a script to do this? I use the SVG file directly in my work. I did research online, but find that it has no native support of EI to achieve.

    I found some scripts online, but they convert output Adobe AE to the JSON file. Is there something similar available for the SVG file?

    Thank you

    AE makes pixels not vectors, so it's not possible.

  • How to import. MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am using Canon 700 d for filming

    Hello

    I just brought a 700 d canon and began shooting HD movies, but now I want to add some effects in my video for example Twixtor slow motion effect, but I am facing a problem that I can not import. MOV in Adobe AE CS4 file. Please help me. Also if you can tell me any free Converter. MOV to AF file format.

    I use Windows 8 OS.

    Thank you!

    CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is supposed to work on XP or Vista. It runs on Windows 7 was a bit of a problem, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 in all.

    It is also possible that a new camera records in a codec that does not include such an old version of AE.

    Make sure that you use the last update of your version of AE. You are on version 9, so make sure that you have completed the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I wouldn't update in the middle of a project, that any change could break AE). I want to reiterate: you are using a version that was published there is an operating system that was much more recently published six. So be careful how you strip rolling. However, if you are not running 9.0.3, you are missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.

    I would say that upgrading to a newer version of AE.

    That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had a lot of trouble with the MPEG-4 and other codecs that uses interframe compression. You can open the files in your version of first? If so, you can use the first or Adobe Media Encoder to convert into a good intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems, just like the other codecs that Dave mentions.

    Hi, I hope someone can help me with the following problem: I record DVDs and try to import them into WMM. Usually, it is divided into 5 files .vob, VTS_01_1 to VTS_01_5. In the import of WMM, it recognizes VTM 01_2 5 and I can make a film with those without problems, but it does not allow in the beginning of the dvd import, IE VTS_01_1, import, saying: the file cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on the computer. If the problem is only with the file VTS_01_1.vob
    I tried to convert the file in: .avi, .mpeg, .wmv,. MP4, however it will not matter. I also tried to download several codec packs, but this will not work either.
    If someone would have a good suggestion how to solve this problem, I would really appreciate it.

  • Import Layered PhotoShop in After Effects

    I am under PhotoShop CS5 and After Effects CS5 on Windows 64-bit machine. I want to import a layered PhotoShop file and keep the layers so I can animate the separated elements. Sometimes, everything works fine and I get the PS icon waited in the timeline panel for each layer. But sometimes, everything done exactly the same thing, I get a funny icon on the left (RGB?) and the bounding box of each layer is the size of the model with the anchor point in the middle of the model. The layers are not cut to the limits of the content. The color of the chronology for each layer is green instead of blue. What is going on?

    File > import file... Import kind > composition - keep the sizes of layer.

    after_effects_pslayers_01.jpgafter_effects_pslayers_02.jpg

    The problem is caused by importing a Photoshop file with the sequence checked Photoshop laminate, then click on import in the form of composition. I made a short video to show the difference when you import the same file with two different settings. The problem you will have, is that the images won't be long 2 images.

    It is however a work around this problem if you are engaged in the project loan. First solution, re - import the same PSD file with the correct settings, and then replace the image in each layer. Second, select all layers, then go to layer > time and apply time remapping for each layer, then spread the layer.

  • Problem importing files Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail in Windows 7__

    My new computer has Windows 7 and, of course, Windows Live Mail.  My old computer has Windows XP and Outlook Express.  I copied my file OE that contains all my USB key *.dbx files.  On the file menu of WLM, I then selected "Import Messages" and then indicated the location of my OE files on the USB key.  When I clicked to import the files, a small window with a green status bar that showed all the imported files.  I then clicked on "Finish."  My problem is even if the import seems to be successful I don't think the imported files or folders in Live Mail.  I tried twice with the same results.  Did I miss a step?  My just OE files seem to have not gotten in my Windows Live Mail program.

    Look in the imported folders under storage folders. If you do not see the storage files, in the Menu bar: view | Page layout | The folders pane. Check: View the storage folders.

    Missing Menu bar? Click the menu button to the left of the help button and activate the menu bar.

    If still no joy, copy the database messages OE of the USB on the desktop and try to import from there.

    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

    For messages:

    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    Location of OE message store:

    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    For addresses:

    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.

    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.

  • Import from Illustrator to After Effects

    Hello

    I can't import an Illustrator file into After Effects. The project of the Illustrator has seven layers. Import the file by selecting import into After Effects > name of file > import as composition by keeping the dimensions of the layer.

    In the timeline panel, there are 7 Illustrator layers, however, all the things on the other layers seem to have moved to the top layer because it is the only layer that controls anything; opacity, position etc.

    Anyone know what is happening?

    See you soon

    Your description sounds like not create you layers in Illustrator.  You need to do.

    You probably just have a layer of 1 of your Illustrator document.  You create layers 2-7, moving things in each layer, and it is also good rename each layer with something that makes sense.  Hardcore artists Illustrator blow that right away.  In the case of a human body, they would be the eye right, where eye, head, torso, right arm, left arm, right foot, left foot.  Just double-click on the name of the current layer and re - nominate away.

    but I know that the file is very though I can play on quicktime and windows media player perfectly so I don't know why it won't work

  • How can I reduce the size of file provided by After Effects?

    When I visited a project of second 5 relatively easy in After Effects, the size of the file of the .avi resulting is 64 MB.  If I change the properties in order to reduce the size of the file, the degradation makes the unusable file.  What I am doing wrong?

    Encoder AE is really otherwise ineffective?

    The thing is, AVI doesn't mean much.

    It's almost an empty container box, which does not imply a level of quality.

    Thus, SOUL could default to something completely different as a starting point to produce an AVI file.

    AE by default, when you pick up AVI as uncompressed video format. So, obviously this causes huge files sizes. There may be thresholds of similar quality with smaller sizes if you take other AVIcodecs, but that's another topic. And in all cases, when you went to a master of production quality, the file size is usually not your primary concern. You typically use this video high quality file as a source for flavors compressed for distribution. So, blank video files with huge sizes are a good thing - people then wonder why trailers at apple.com, for example look so good. And the thing is, more compressed formats greatly enjoy having an uncompressed source file.

    Yes, about the effectiveness of the encoding, AE is less effective than the encoding solutions. First and foremost, because it does not support 2-pass encoding. Note that for some formats, 2 pass makes a difference of night and day, while for others, nothing as drastic as most users seem to believe.

    This is a questionable for AVI point, because the default AVI codecs do not offer these encoding options, which are more in the domain of distribution formats such as FLV, MPEG-4/H264 or WMV.

    There are codecs of distribution using AVI as a container there, but that's another matter.

    Cool! Good news. I was able to reproduce it and immediately knew why you experience this problem when it imported into Flash. The original image (which is optimal btw) is pretty small scale. So I have it furred about 3 x in the file, saved and then imported into Flash again. The lines look much much better. Flash is not only to make the curves as well when they are really small.

  • Feature Request: Ability to export GIF files starting from After Effects

Animations are created in After Effects, but I always export sequences of images or AE quicktime files and open them in Photoshop to then export it as a gif. I would love to cut out the extra steps it takes to get a final GIF that is ready for download with the possibility to export directly to a GIF animated EI.
