Saving files from After Effects to CC for use on other machines.

I am very very new to After Effects, so I'm sure there is a simple solution to my question.  I recently attempted to save a file from After Effects on Dropbox to transfer easily to another machine, however when I went to open this file on the new machine, several documents in the file, it was missing (png, fonts, scripts etc...).  I suspected that the reason for it is because the png and the fonts were used by AE as they were stored on the original machines and have not actually imported (or copied) in the AE file, so when I went to open the file on the computer again the files were missing that they were not installed on the new machine (is this correct?).  If I record the creative cloud AE files will be I experience this problem? I'll be able to open the AE files on another computer that does not have fonts reference, PNG, jpeg etc. available?

Thank you

Yes, AE projects contain only references to external resources. That's why you should pack in full e.g. usind the option collect files. The procedures do not differ to any method that you use, so you better get used to and organize your work in a way so it can be transferred easily.

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

    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.

  • . Don't update the AI Illustrator files in After Effects

    CC Yes after effects 2014 (and perhaps older versions?) had a feature that I really liked where if you have imported an illustrator (.ai) file into After Effects, you can change this file in Illustrator without having to re - import the file back into After Effects. The image would automatically update.

    I use CC AE 2015 and Illustrator CS5.1 and this method does not work. The illustrator file to update or change, even when I reload the film or purge the memory of the software. Also, I rebooted my computer for fun, but that did not work. This functionality has changed in 2015 After effects version? Y at - there a step I'm missing?

    Here is my example. I want this red screw to have fewer teeth, so I deleted my teeth in Illustrator up to five:

    illustrator.jpg

    After this change and in saving it, nothing changes in After Effects. He holds the stick to the old version of the screw, which has about nine teeth:

    ae.jpg

    It could refer to a preview stored in the cache, serving and see if that makes a difference.

  • License error: 0 Mocha AE CC must be open only from After Effects

    I placed an AE file in the project to create and tried to export using Media Encoder (all CC). When I try to open the m4v file, I get an error message: "license error: 0 Mocha AE CC should be open from After Effects '-what it means and how to fix it? Is it because we are using ME to export rather than rendering directly from first? We are only to learn here and would appreciate any idea. Thank you.

  • I can not import PSD file to After effect in the form of composition.

    I can not import PSD file to After effect in the form of composition.

    When I try to import the PSD file according to the effect CC (2015) as a composition, AE will stop responding and then I have to close and restart the application.

    After effect CS6 works very well, but AE CC does not not and will close while I try to import the PSD file as a composition.

    can anyone help?

    Hi good morning all.

    I finally found what causes this problem.

    That I've added the link of 3ds max compositor (CEAP) to my folder plugin effects Jefferson, sequelae stops responding to PSD (import in the form of layers as a model) files.

    then, after the removal of this file (CEAP) every thing change to normal mode.

    now the question is only how to use 3ds max scene after effects without this headache.

    Thanks for everyone.

    After effects CC trial has expired?

    You are allowed to launch after effects CC once after the 30 day trial period is expired, but when you do one a bug exists in this State: MPEG2 files cannot be read or written.

    The only solution for this bug is to license after effects CC; e.g. a subscription. My apologies for the problems you are having with the payment system. As Rick says, please contact customer support for help with this.

  • After Effects vs Flash for Animation

    Hello!  I was wondering if someone could tell me what is the best for animation - After Effects or Flash?  The advantages and disadvantages of each, or something along thoes lines.  I looked at other threads, but they were rather dated (or simply unnecessary, list without reasons).  If it is useful to know, I would never do web animation and I'm already pretty familiar with After Effects in the motion graphics and Visual effects.  I also wonder which is more commonly used in the industry, and who would benefit me more in the future (job opprotunities, MICR).  Thank you in advance.

    Rick is correct. I used Flash and AE for the animation of the years and he is really not what you're trying to reach. Flash has advantages in my opinion you can put more assets on a layer in Flash where each asset requires a new layer in After Effects.

    If you do not use Flash, do NOT use video clips, use of graphics but it's 'old school', but when you export the result you can then import the swf file in After Effects and have the best of both worlds.

    I hope this helps!

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

    As a host, I am often downloading animated GIFs to websites like dribbble and imgur. 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. So that's my official request for the feature to add to After Effects.

  • How to reduce the size of the SWF to a file imported from After Effects

    Hello!

    I'm doing a banner web for an internet marketing company, so he has very specific requirements. We did it in After Effects, and I was able to export it to an FLV file and import to Flash very well with the SWF file. Now, I need to make the significantly smaller SWF file.

    At the moment it is 2.5 MB and we can only present a 40K SWF size. It is even possible to reduce the size so much and still keep intregrity of the animation?

    I'm more familiar with Flash than After Effects, but he can play with the settings, etc. If someone can tell me what to try.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    is the flv almost 2.5 MB? If so, your only option to significantly reduce swf size is to load the FLV dynamically (which is not usually allowed with banner ads).

  • Export edition PE9 files in After Effects?

    Is it possible to import the edited files first Elements 9 in After Effects to apply to the effects?

    Thanks in advance

    Steve,

    I respectfully disagree on this point.

    You can put an AVI uncompressed in Premiere Elements and first Elements-, an uncompressed output AVI file but the video is compressed a DV while he is in the program so there is no way to avoid the issue of compression

    If we start with DV - AVI, there is a slight compression lossy, but meadow is natively editing this film DV - AVI. Now, if a DV - AVI export/actions, yet once, there is a slight compression with loss, but if they share export/Lagarith, or UT, there no loss, although there is compression. AE can work with the hardware without end loss, so no need to re - compress and no need to introduce the loss. When an export of EI (no ADL - Adobe Dynamic Link between AE & PrE), with a lossless CODEC, which IS converted to DV - AVI, when in PrE, but two levels of lossy compression have been eliminated in the workflow, and eliminating any compression that is frozen is my goal for the ultimate quality.

    The beauty of the Lagarith or UT, is that files are smaller, with uncompressed AVI, so other than the coding of the workflow porttion (the two CODECS are fast enough), the resources are greatly reduced.

    An extreme example of the use of compressed material is where we produce a DVD (CODEC MPEG-2, which IS highly compressed), and then uses that compressed material in a new project, once again for MPEG-2 for DVD output. If you can go from the elements, including the first MPEG-2 encoding, thus saving a level of compression, the qualtiy is much better. Again, this is an extreme example, and the DV/DVC CODEC in a DV - AVI is no where close so bad, because with MPEG-2.

    Additional steps are worth the effort? Only the user can determine that.

    Just my observations, when creating and editing intermediate files. For me, the advantage outweighs the coding time, such that the quality is also high, I can get.

  • Batch replace files in After Effects

    I have a project that is a series of snapshots of time that has been edited in Final Cut Pro.  I used that I created (.cr2) original raw files to JPEG files editing.  I used to send the edit in After Effects (CS5) to do things that I can't do in FCP Automatic Duck and I want to replace the JPEG images with the color correction for raw files.  When I select multiple JPEG files in my project window, I can't replace one of the clips.  If I select a single jpeg, I can bring up the window replaced and I find myself with 2 options.  The first creates a sequence of images, which works for some of my shots (although I always put those in the composition, essentially a re-release of the song), but for many others, I do not use all of the images in the time or ignore some here and there.  I also mix the lengths of framework in several sequences, with the help of different lengths of 1s, 2s, 3S and 4s, etc., in order to have AE create a sequence of images from raw files does not work.  The other option is replaing each file one by one, but with thousands of images, it is not really an option.  I tried the script of the Immigration of aescripts.com but that is not what I need to do either.  I'm sure the solution is under my nose, but any help is greatly appreciated.

    I found a solution to this problem.

    http://aescripts.com/batch-search-n-replace-paths/

    You must run 2 research in the script.  The first to replace the file and the second to replace the file extension.  My problem was that I was replacing only the folder.  Once the script is done and you open the new AE project, it creates the files will be offline.  After that you relink the first file, AE does the rest, just like Dave suggested.  Aescripts.com Lloyd is very useful.
