Puppet pin layers greying out

Hello. I learn how to use pins of puppets, I run into a problem.

Sometimes I put my pins, goto another point on the timeline and then press "Reset" to bring back the pins to the original location. However, sometimes I will cancel it (since I didn't like the time when I reset to), but it does is erase the entire animation that I put in place with my braces and the layer of puppet pin called in the comp window all gray of the tower. I incorrectly use the Reset button? Thank you!

the solution I found is in the puppet Pin tool settings in the Tools window

If you change the settings extension or triangles you will receive your PIN

(be sure to first click on your mesh in the timeline).

change to something else (add a point or something) and change it back.

It happened to me and cannot find the solution online

But what I've noticed, it's when you reset - change you expansion and triangles to their default

and then, when you click Cancel, it changes what you had previously.

I did add another number (for example, instead of 50 to 51)

and voila! the pins are back. then I changed it to what it was.

If you want to reset, you must reset your points and not your tool

by right-clicking on the post and the "Reset".

  • Vector graphics, pixelation and puppet pins

    See the pictures below, look at the feet!

    Whenever I use the continuously rasterized option I still have problems. Maybe it's my workflow, but I you will often find that the layers appear to jump around, be broken almost as digital break on a TV or get cracks and lines at random. My problem at the moment is random lines.

    I have three compositions, a main and two pre comps. The first precomp contains 1 vector layer with rasterized switch game. The model of pre holding this model was then the rasterized spend together as a switch fx as Im using tools on the first duIK precomped layer. This layer/second precomp has a puppet PIN if it makes a difference to anyone. In this second precomp, I can see weird lines on my form, which are identical to the form, almost as if the 1st precomp is showing through for some reason any as an outline transparent 1pt?

    I can move the shape, and this strange contour remains in the same place but slices through my form that I pass, so in theory I can move my form across the composition and I have no problem... but it does not really solve the problem. My biggest final comp containing two comps above also has the same problem as the 2nd computer... but it's structure, I need so I had to test it.

    Currently my diapers are all 2d, but I can make them 3d later and meet more jumpy rasterising weird questions... When I change the rasterized or fx switches lines will go, but I need the rasterized option (although now I can not even tell if it's effective, but I also need the fx which holds my original puppet corner for duIK right tools)

    What I am doing wrong? Help, please!

    Photo 1 and 2, bot moved to the visible contours on feet, photo 3 has been moved far enough away from the original position of precomps shows so no lines. These come out on a record.

    Really, you cannot use the function of rasterize continuously with the puppet tool at the same time. This is explained in the puppet tool page in help. (And, if I remember correctly, it can suggest workaround).

    In anyway, if you do a precomp which includes the work and use the puppet pin on the precomp WITHOUT using the continuously rasterize button above, it should work fine. So, if you need it is larger, make more great before apply you the pins of the puppet.

  • Programmatically create the puppet pin

    Hi all

    I would like to ask whether it is possible create programmatically puppet pins...

    I tried to copy the structure of water courses ("ADBE FreePin3", "ADBE FreePin3 Mesh", 'ADBE FreePin3 PosPin Position',...) pins created manually with

    corresponding values, but when I create, broadcast this way they are disabled (AEGP_DynStreamFlag_DISABLED - and greyed in the user interface).

    I assume that the Summit "index ADBE FreePin3 PosPin Vtx" is just an index in the table stored internally in the form of arbitrary data so that the mesh and the PIN must be created somehow before you set these values.

    I found this thread where they try to do the same thing using scripts (also unsuccessfully)Create of corner puppet on a mesh existing via script

    I have some ideas on how this could be done using the SDK, but all involve them diving into the dark waters...

    -call the method EffectSuite::AEGP_EffectCallGeneric with mouse fake click events (PF_Cmd_EVENT) or some directly if the effect of FreePin supports PF_Cmd_COMPLETELY_GENERAL orders

    -use 'FreePin Suite' - which is not a part of the public SDK but can be acquired using AquireSuite... - but as it is not public, I guess it works with a memory that's not so sure touch even if I managed to get/create file header appropriate for this suite

    Perhaps there is a simple and elegant to create those pins that I completely forgot, then I'd be really grateful for any suggestions

    Thank you very much!

    Here, I just find a workaround...

    Step 1: save an animation preset with a puppet effect applied (with desired number of pine trees - but it does not matter where you place the pins)

    step 2: apply this preset to a layer (using AEGP_ExecuteScript ("app.project.item (index) .layer (index) .applyPreset (presetName) ;")) - which will add the puppet with pins effect

    step 3: change the flow of existing pine vertex offset values by using stream suite

    step 4: reset (Pines which will reload the State internal - will jump to the right place)

    step 5: change position of vertex streams using the suite of flow

    So all you need is a set of files .ffx with a different number of pins puppet used - because they cannot be added programmatically - but it is possible to modify existing ones...

    Thanks a lot for your support!

    See you soon,.

  • To apply the edges of the poster to a smart object layer, but the filters Gallery is greyed out?

    Work a Photoshop tutorial on an image.  I want to apply the edges of the poster to a smart object layer, but the filters Gallery is greyed out.  Gallery of filters is also grayed out for all other layers in this project.  (PhotoShop CC)

    Hi filter Gallery,

    Please, click on the tab of the image above and choose 16-bit/channel to 8 bits/channel mode.

    Then check if the filters Gallery is always grayed out.

  • Impossible to get puppet pin move with layer

    I've separated the Illustrator images for a character, I applied the puppet pins in one of the layers and tried to turn it. Puppet pins remain stationary, they do not move with the layer. It's frustrating, because all the instructional videos I've seen, says ' just turn and move the mesh ', but it does not work. Even if you move the pins, the image gets cut and twisted which is only within the mesh.

    Any advice? It is with Adobe CC last on a mac.odsGuy_aep__.jpg

    You have activated the continuous rasterization. Turn the power off.

  • method toComp on the puppet pin position property returns values ghosts

    To try to fake this girl character, I had a strange behavior came. I was able to work around it fairly easily, but it happened to me that there is something I don't understand. My level of experience with expressions is relatively low, but I have some experience with Javascript for the principles are clear.

    What is annoying me, is that my procedure works fine in a simple scene created entirely in AE. However when I import a .psd file (using composition - keep the sizes of layer), the same approach becomes useless. I feel I'm missing something on the sizes of layer with respect to the compositions or something, or come across a bug.

    OK, this is my first post and it is a bit involved. I was always able to find answers by searching online or in the documentation. Here goes.

    I'm trying to implement a character using puppet pin, I'll link to NULL values as part of a more complex setup on the road. My general approach is to implement the ankles first and see how it moves manually before creating nulls and connect the pins to the positions of NULL values. So far, so simple. To get my NULL values to the exact position of my ankles, I pickwhip the position even in the position of the PIN, see what are the coords, then delete and put in the coords manually to null. Once NULL and the pins are aligned, I just link the pins to the NULL values of an expression in the property of spindles 'position '.

    This all works very well in my simple scene consisting of a solid layer with applied puppet pins and NULL values. Null values align with the pins perfectly, and I don't have to convert the coordinates of PIN for model space or whatever it is. The coords pins seem to be in the computer space already. Then I can link the pins to my NULL values and all is well.

    However, in my complex scene that is generated from an any .psd, the PIN coords do not match the model space. They are very weak and seem to live up to the layer of that the puppet effect has been applied. If the null ends up far to the top left of the model.

    No problem. We just run toComp on the position of the axis, and we should get the model space pin coords. But I did not. I get something off path.

    Why does not the positions of pins match to the model space automatically my comp psd-based, as they did with the simple model?

    It is even possible to successfully run the toComp in the following way

    toComp (thisComp.layer("R_Arm") .deform ("Puppet Pin 1") .position.effect("Puppet").arap.mesh ("Mesh 1"));

    or is the return of the

    thisComp.layer("R_Arm") .deform ("Puppet Pin 1").effect("Puppet").arap.mesh ("Mesh 1") .position;

    not the right to be an argument of toComp data type?

    The coordinated pins just layer based coordinate as another or are there other factors involved?

    I would like to be able to set up the pins where I would like them and bind them with corresponding NULL values exactly the coordinates so that the work is not jumping when I their link.

    More generally, is there any attribute of a psd file that can affect the coordinate system of a model generated when importing. The file in question contained all the regular layers, plus a group of 3 (which came as a demo the full size of the main computer, as expected), no effect of layer or anything like that of other fish.

    Someone more experienced with the expressions and coordinated spaces in AE have an idea of what I'm missing?

  • get the selection instead of the puppet pin tool marquee tool

    I imported a png file in the new composition and wanted to distort the image with the puppet tool, but instead of the puppet pin tool that I always get the marquee tool

    tried to keep Alt, Shift, Ctrl, did not help

    puppet pin tool works fine on the other compositions. It's the first time I encounter such a problem with the puppet tool. What is going on?

    AE CS6 on win7

    First question, what size is this file? I don't see any dimension.

    Second question, it is necessary to have layers in this picture? Looks like you apply puppet pin on the entire fly.

    Third question, have you tried to reduce the size of the file in Photoshop to about the size of your computer and then saving it as a png 24-bit or single-layer PSD or tiff with an alpha channel?

    It is difficult to know because there is no detail about right PSD, but it could be wrong, too much color space, or have another problem that I don't see.

  • Cannot export/Share - greyed out

    I wrapped an edict of 25 minutes on the timeline.  Now, I'm having a few problems for export - all greyed out... can't share.  I relinked files a couple of times and now I reimport all media just to be sure.  I'll see if it works.  In addition - trash of pref or something?

    What would you say to build libraries or something.  BTW, re-import is complete and it has not helped.

    Everyone slayed this on FCPX 10.2.3?

    Thank you!

    Figured it out.  Once more, I learned that you can not do your support who come looking for you.  If you move projects and libraries around the drive to the drive, it may re - import media.  Remember those pesky missing radar alerts?  Re-Binder alone was not the problem.  You know you have a problem, when you leave FCPX and then re - login.  The problem files are going to be watching you.  Re-IMPORT media - then WAIT for it to import!  Don't rush - 9 order and look at the files to import.  Once the import is complete - all right.  Export and share to your heart's content!
