• Cannot export an After Effects project to Adobe Premiere Pro project

  I created a really simple After Effects composition (Comp 1): a layer of animated text that uses animate it-right in by word Preset.

  I tried the file - export - Adobe Premier Pro project.

  But when I open the new file in Adobe Premier Pro, I get the following message:

  The preset used by one of the sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be changed to use a custom sequence implementation. To continue editing using the pre-selection of origin, exit the application without saving the project, re - install all third-party components that are needed, and reopen the project. Ok

  When I press OK I just get an empty workspace Premier Pro. COMP 1 appears in the project area - but that's all!

  I have some components of part 3. They are all in a folder in next to the official file called Presets predefined animations. But the screening I used is a standard Preset in Adobe - nothing third-party. I was also wondering if the problem was the text? - but I tried Arial and Helvetica and still get the same message.

  PS. The reason why I want to try this message was to see if the text layer would be transparent - please let me know if there is a way to better/alternative to do this?

  1. If your suggestion of rendering using a container from different media / codec is faster and easier to import After Effects in Premier Pro with a transparent background? And if yes, can you give me an example of the media that container & codec will do the trick?

  For example, PNG, TGA, which are installed with Adobe Suite and available as the two image sequence and QuickTime movie. Video of the UT, DNxHD, ProRes (Mac only) requires separate and installation available in MOV or AVI (video c on a PC) container. Etc.

  2. back to my original question: even if export an After Effects project as an Adobe Premier Pro project is not really solve my problem of needing a transparent background, it all works? Because it seems to me that my test (simple text with a unique Adobe preset text effect applied layer) is about as simple as you can get with After Effects. So what didn't come out to the Premier Pro, what can?

  When you export your AE PrPro project project, PrPro tries its best to convert keyframes, effects, and all the rest in the same way as if you copy and paste a layer of AE in the PrPro sequence. However, it cannot convert what it is these things that do not exist in PrPro. See this and that help sections.

  See also this section on the rendering of assistance.

  As Rick said, apart from rendering your AE composition, you can use Dynamic Link to your AE compositions in PrPro project. Although you can import into PrPro project AE compositions of different versions of the Suite, so that dynamic links would work as a two lane road (i.e. of the kind that you would be able to send a clip or group of clips in your timeline in PrPro project in AE through dynamic links) you need versions of PrPro and corresponding AE. What is more, before CS6 Adobe Dynamic Link requires the Production Premium or Master Collection installed. Since the CS6, you must just PrPro and AE.

• possibility to get an After Effects in a simple single payment?

  I would get After Effects and use the plugin Auto lip-sync, but I simply do not have money for a subscription. Is it possible to get After effects in a simple single payment?

  You can get a 30-day free trial. If this is not long enough then the unique app is $ 20 per month in the United States. A month is $ 30 ($29.99). That a pack your lunch one day a week or half a dozen fewer trips to Starbucks. If you are a student, it is even less.

• A few questions about After Effects and CGI (computer generated images)

  Hello

  I am very new to this forum and After Effects. But I have a few questions.

  Now, I recently started a film project with my friend at a workshop. It's an action/sci-fi film and I'll probably be the editor and, if necessary, support visual and special effects. This looks like a pretty big job for a noob, but we do not have a limit of time with the project, so it's time to learn.

  But my questions. I thought to myself of the introduction of CGI (very simple of course). I studied the use of blender, and I think that I'll use for modeling and animation. But Ae should be used in any stage of production of CGI or make in a blender? If I do, how? I'm going in the wrong direction (bad kind of software, etc.)?

  In addition, I do not speak of fully producing the scene with the computer, but by adding things like the characters or objects, may be special effects.

  I'm hoping for an answer to my questions, but if you only have one or two responses, I'm happy to hear also. You are also welcome to correct me if I misunderstood something. Thank you for clarification if you need!

  1. Welcome to the family. AE is big, very big. It's hard. Really hard. Not sure how hard AE is learr and master.

  2. no time limit is good, but you will need the money.

  3. This is not a forum of Blender. You want to discover the film, CGI and Blender own forums for this kind of assistance.

  4 AE is for your compositing and special effects. But you will need to learn how both apps work until you decide how to distribute your project. A comparison would be shooting your film. Using a digital SLR? Do you know why? Or do you use a GoPro? Another example may be Apple Final Cut Pro. You can edit the audio in it, but it is preferable to use an audio application. You can do special effects in FCP but it is better to do complex things in motion for After Effects. How can you know what app is appropriate a lot of experience. Many failures.

  5. we were all new EI vidoe editing and special effects at one time or another. The user forums are not places to learn how to use these applications. Do you with tutorials, books and tons of time. One thing is to learn how to use the Blender to make a robot move. Do the robot into a character that requires the public to worry, it is quite another. Using AE to create a layer of clouds is one thing. With these clouds react to bow waves created by your robot flying as it closer sonic speeds is quite another challenge.

• move graphics manually on the window of the program such as After effects?

  Hi, how to move graphics manually on the window of the program such as After effects?

  Thank you

  Ah. Well, that's something you can't do, and I would be very surprised if support knew what was coming in the next version of first. And despite this, it is not something they will probably tell you because the features are always kept under wraps. It would be nice to have and I'd love to see in the next version, but I find it unlikely that they would know that information. The only solution I can think of would be to nest.

• After Effects uses a lot of memory (live RAM) when you perform simple work

  Hello

  When I open AE, make a new project, import a simple 20 MB mp4 file itself and start playback of the clip (RAM Preview), consumption of RAM of After Effects gets up to 5 GB, and the CPU usage gets up to 50%!

  This is a really simple job, and I don't know why it takes so many resources, it wasn't happening to me before.

  I'm on Windows 8.1, I use After Effects 13.2.0.49 (2014.2) and I have 8 GB of RAM.

  Why is this happening?

  Thanks in advance.

  MP4 are notoriously calculation-heavy because they are so heavily compressed.  What explains the treatment part.

  RAM previews allow AE to use so much memory that it has to play in real time.  What explains the part of the memory.

• After Effects - general question

  I need of After Effects or some other piece of software for a specific project.  It goes to its strange, but I need to create a simple mobile point growing and smaller animation and rolls in and out of the screen.  I'll fix some sound effects in the background as well.   All the animation will run about 30 minutes.

  Is the best After Effects software for this project?   If this is not the case, what do you suggest?   Advice on all learning skills that I need to learn how to carry out this project would be greatly appreciated as well.

  Thank you!

  Nope.  There are too many fundamentals to learn just to get to the point of a project, even a simple.  There are too many ways that AE can you pipe.  Procedure step by step a new doing what you describe would extend far beyond the scope of a simple forum post.

  In short, AE is not any pony thing.  That is why Mylenium included this link.

• Question about the Introduction of the video in After Effects

  Hey guys, I'm new to the Forum!

  I want to keep it's short enough for you guys so I'll try to make it as brief as possible. Here's my question/problem:

  In Adobe After Effects CS6, I created an intro for my videos on YouTube using a Premium battlefield model I found on YouTube and made it in a file format video 1080 p H.264 (.mp4) rendered by default "best settings". The introductory video lasts not more than 5 seconds. Having little knowledge of Adobe After Effects, I intend to learn more of the program using it as my default video editing (from Sony Vegas Pro 12) software and I seem to have a little drama.

  For those who regularly put introductions in their videos, I have a question for you.

  When I did a video today with my introduction in place (I had taken the introduction already made and placed in my composition and worked around it), but I noticed that the model I used was only a 1280 x 720 one. Making the resolution a bit distorted and 'big' than usual. My question is, should I render it again the introduction as well as the introductory model or continue to do what I did today is the introduction already rendered and move around?

  What do guys do generally?

  Thank you very much! I can't wait to hear the responses!

  Imagine a movement that is only 30 minutes long. Now imagine that the time between the cups about 6 seconds. It's 30 minutes multiplied by 60 seconds divided by 6 seconds. This means that your AE comp, excluding the effects, titles or other things going to have 300 layers staggered on the time line for 30 minutes. Now, imagine that you want to change shooting 244 6 seconds 9 seconds. Which leaves you only 56 layers to slide around.

  Add to restore each preview and preview of the deadline for the memory live available and you'll see why AE is a program that I recently used to create a second shot 9 of 64 layers for a commercial, but I used first Pro is what I used to cut only 9 seconds to 30 seconds of spot.

• Alexa in After Effects color questions

  Hello, I work with DPX files in After Effects CS6 (Mountain Lion) which are located in the color space of Alexa Log C without intermediate color grading or direct treatment of Technicolor.  My problem is the following: I am trying to correct the color files DPX to match Avid DNxHD quicktimes reference class color that were genereted from the same files to DPX using a LUT and a CDL.  In the past, that I never did NOT match perfectly using LEVELS by adjusting the color in each layer of color individually while comparing it to the color clip, I am corresponding to.  Not only it is impossible to match the DPXs made from the raw images Alexa to a color version of this clip which is corrected DNxHD quicktime format, but I find the red channel in the DPX files behave in ways that are unlike anything I've ever worked with before.  I did extensive research regarding this issue without success.  Technicolor provided a LUT for NUKE and SHAKE that, as well as a CDL, is supposed to recreate the color of the quicktimes grade.  I used free Colorista enter the CDL values, but also the READ buddy to incorporate the LUT that was given to me with no luck.  Compensation with levels does not work because the red channel will NOT cooperate.  I also used the utility LUT in After Effects, with the same results.  I even contacted the person in charge of such things at Technicolor and they admitted that they gave up on After Effects with regard to a solution of color corresponding to sequences of Alexa that has been converted to Avid DNxHD and baked with a LUT and CDL.  I can't be the first person to be executed on this issue and that it SHOULD be a solution that doesn't involve switching to Nuke.  Anyone?

• General questions After Effects

  Hi all

  I have some general questions of After Effects:

  -J' bought some model videohive.net and when I open it, legacy projects

  converts them. It of quite OK, but is it the the ability to hide this message.

  -I'm a bit confused on "after effects multiprocessing. It took me about 3 hours to search the

  NET to know, that I still have no idea if I should active it or not. It comes to my computer:

  PhenomX4 955 (Quad Core) AMD

  8 GB RAM

  60 GB SSD

  Windows 7

  NVIDIA GTX 580

  Should I use multiprocessing? Currently my settings under "Memory & multiprocessing" are

  "Reserved for other applications of RAM: 1.5 GB" (available for AE 6, 5 GB)

  "Reserved for other applications processors: 0".

  "Allocation of RAM per CPU of background: 2GB.

  "Real CPU that will be used: 2.

  When I work in After Effects, I don't use other programs at the same time.

  In addition to these questions, I am very satisfied with this product!

  Probably not, but it depends on the plug-ins used in the project.

  For MP to work you need to at least 2 GB by heart, but you can not say what setteings are the best unless you try some different combinations. Set up a test project that is typical of your workflow that only lasts about 5 seconds. Try a few different settings about allocate 2 GB for each CPU (in the RAM available for the AE control). The interface is a little confusing, but here's a configuration that works on my laptop.

  

  Take a look at the RAM reserved for other applications, the CPU for other applications and the allocation of Ram per CPU background. I use as much ram as I can for AE but leaving a 1.5 GB for other applications. This leaves 6.5 GB available for Adobe applications. If I let 2GB for other applications and he leavs 6 Adobe which is right on the edge of breakdown 3 processors. If I put select 2 GB of Ram processor used actual distribution falls to 0 and make once we pass 01:17 by MP 2 minutes offshore. If I try to return all 4 cores my render time is the best time of 48 seconds at 58 with no other apps open. This represents an increase of about 20%. If I switch to another application while rendering with all 4 cores used to render times will at 01:48. Remember that the render time for my test with off multiprocessing computer is 01:17 so MP allows for most of the projects.

  I guess the point is that you should pay attention to what happens to the actual CPU used and run tests. As I said at the beginning, some effects are not aware of MP and allowing of multiple chassis treatment can slow down the system or cause a malfunction.

  I hope this helps.
