After Effects animated counter using point control counts up then down then up, why???

I'm trying to make some animated counters showing the number of victims killed in the Holocaust for WWII documentary. Most of my animated counters are working. But for some reason, the animated counter for Norway isn't.
I need for the counter to go from 0 to 890. But instead it shoots up to nearly 7,000 in the middle only to go down in order to get to 890. I have no idea what's causing this. But here are my settings:

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you very much. Correct, I set the first frame to bezier, but not sure why that would cause the numbers prior to the end to be higher than the end number.  By setting the first keyframe to bezier, I was hoping to have the animation begin slowly and then increase in speed. But for some reason it's also giving me a higher number mid-way than the end number.

    Is the 3rd party plug-in 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' which comes with Adobe After Effects, free to use? 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' installs its documentation in the plug-in’s subfolder in the Plug-ins folder.
    I cannot locate anywhere on the Adobe site which specifies that this plug-in is free to use for educational institutions.
    Can anyone assist please?

  • After Effects CS5.5 - Using *OLD* stabilizer?

    Hello all. We recently moved up to the new after effects at work, and as much as I love the new warp stabilizer, I want to use the old version for a particular shot (with the position and rotation track points). The reason being is that I want to stabilize the shot around a particular point in the video (around somebody's eye)  rather than letting the warp stabilizer work on the shot as a whole. Obviously whenver I click on stabilize motion, the warp stabilizer opens and begins to work the shot. Has the old stabilizer feature been completely removed in favoure of this new verison, or is it just hidden somewhere?

    This page in AE help covers it. There may be more info there that would be useful as well.

  • Bringing in after effects animation .mov file

    Hi...
    I am really confused about this one..
    I rendered an After Effects file, set to using the animation compression settings, quicktime, 29.97 frame rate...
    I bring it into FCP, and it gives me a red needs render bar.. I have my sequence settings to animation.. frame rate matches..
    Why is this happening?

    I never tried to set sequence to Animation, interesting idea.
    But Animation is not a realtime codec, far to incredibly dense. It's meant to be a lossless transport system for effects shots and a universal interchange between platforms and NLEs. A few hardware-supported NLEs, like the older Media 100s, can process certain types of Animation-like files, proprietary codecs that can carry alpha.

  • After Effects--Composition not using entire image frame??

    Hello,
    I'm very new to After Effects so I'm sorry if this is a very simple question. I've Googled it and I think maybe I'm using incorrect terminology because I haven't found anything that describes what is happening. So, I've taken a screen shot to hopefully help illustrate my issue.
    I'm using After Effects CC - 2014.1 Release on a Late 2013 Mac Pro. Trying to piece together an animation render from Autodesk Maya.
    Right now I'm using a test render so that I can figure out the import settings for when the final one is finished rendering. In this test there are 94 images, each intended to be one "frame" in a 24 frames per second animation. I think I have altered these settings correctly as it seems to be about the correct length (94 "frames" / 24 fps = 3.9167 or 3:55 seconds)
    The problem I'm running into is that After Effects is only showing a small viewport of the actual images. I've outlined in the bright green dashed line the approximate actual image size and where in the image it is showing in After Effects. All of the images are the same size and same resolution, and they are all being shown only in this small window.
    How can I change the settings to have the final animation show the entirety of the frame? Obviously it's showing such a small area that it won't work for me-- I really need all of that missing information shown.
    Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

    What size movie does Maya expect? If it's conventional HD, 1920x1080, you must scale your images to fit the comp size. If you need a comp that is 4k you must change the properties of the comp. they are both easy to do but require a bit experience with the AE interface. Start at the beginning of the basic tutorials that we refer to around here.
    and welcome to the family. AE is hard. Really hard.

  • After effects animation Codec won't import into FCP

    Hi
    I have used After Effects to do a green screen key on some HD 1080i footage.
    I then went to export - quicktime movie - animation
    I understand that the animation codec is the only way to export with an alpha channel so that I can put other footage in after my nice green screen key.
    I set quality to best and frame rate to 25, I also tried frame rate as current and it exports and plays back fine in quicktime movie player, but won't import into final Cut.
    The error message is "wrong frame rate"
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I am quite new to after effects and wonder if there is something wrong with the way it is seeing the footage as I shot in widescreen and the image is squeezed as for a 4:3 TV aspect ratio.
    Thanks.
    Ajay

    1. Check your AE composition settings (cmd-k) and be sure your frame rate is set to 25... AE uses the frane rate of your composition and not the settings in your export module...
    2. Do not use the "export" command in AE... that is used only for special purposes only (i.e. for using "quicktime exporto compnents" not available under the export queue)...
    3. use the "make movie" or "add to export queue" command instead
    4. You expot module should be set as:
    - best settings
    - animation + alpha
    do not specify any frame rate in the export module!! AE automatically uses the frame rate in your composition settings!!
    5. Export and import into fcp...
    I never had problems with AE animation+alpha and fcp 6.0.1

  • How to merge Photoshop frames animtaion with After Effects animation?

    hi,
    I've made a basic animation in Photoshop, which included just 2 frames.
    Now, I want to improve the animation through After Effects, and add more dynamic animation to the basic Photoshop animation.
    The thing is, I don't know how to do it.
    thanks... :-)

    You and Lutz might be talking about a
    different form of Photoshop animation.
    But if you're talking about
    Photoshop CS3 Extended Video layers, you can simply IMPORT the photoshop document as source material. You'll notice that there will be a duration value at the top of the project panel.
    After effects will automatically recognize the duration of the PSD document animation settings. If you need to trim the animation to your two frames, you might need to use time remapping and/or some clever editing.
    If it's only two frames (!), I would create them as separate layers in Photoshop, then import those two layers as a comp in After Effects. You'll have more flexibility, and more leverage over those elements.

  • How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

    Hello,
    I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
    I am using Windows 8 OS.
    Thanks!

    CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
    It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
    Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
    I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
    That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

  • In After Effects when I use the Color Finesse 3, A grid appears in the display window. How do I turn that off?

    When I click on Affects, then Synthetic Aperture, then SA Color Finesse 3 in the Creative Cloud a grid appears over the video in the display window, and I am un sure how to take that off?

    Color Finesse 3 LE is included with After Effects and is installed automatically when After Effects is installed. The only reason to upgrade to the paid version is if you want to use Color Finesse in Premiere Pro as well as in After Effects.
    Since it's a college computer, do you have the ability to install/uninstall software? Many colleges lock down the computers to limit such access. You'll need full access, including an admin password, to use the following steps. If you're not allowed the necessary access, you can pass the following along to whoever does computer administration.
    To remove the trial version, delete the entire "Synthetic Aperture" folder found in:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore
    (Note that this is the Library folder at the base of your boot drive, not the one in your home folder.)
    Next, re-enable the bundled version of Color Finesse by going to the following folder:
    /Applications/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CC/Support Files/Plug-ins/Effects/Synthetic Aperture
    Now, within that "Synthetic Aperture" folder you'll find a plug-in with parentheses around the name:
    (SA Color Finesse 3 AE64)
    Remove the parentheses from the filename so AE will see it. Do NOT remove the parentheses from the "(CF3 Support)" folder or AE will launch very, very slowly, and Color Finesse won't work right.
    Finally, within the "(CF3 Support)" folder, locate the "(SA Color Finesse 3 UI)" application and remove the parentheses.
    Launch AE, apply Color Finesse to a layer, enter a name, and you should be good to go with no grid lines.

  • Often I can only right click or double click in after effects (usually while using Color Finesse)

    Hey, I can't seem to find anyone else that is having this issue.
    I use Dynamic linking from Premiere to color a project using Color Finesse in After Effects. Whats the timeline is dropped in, I'll drop in the color finesse effect, open up color finesse, color, and hit okay. When I come back to After Effects, it seems like every other time I do this sequence of events, I can't left click anymore. The only way to scrub through is to left click or double click on the player head. I can't click and drag effects (I just double click). I can't load presets or anything. I have to get back into color finesse and then it works normally again. But once I'm back out of color finesse and into after effects.... it's back. This is driving me insane, as it makes everything take twice as long. Also, I might add that this happens on MULTIPLE computers. So I do believe it's something that I'm doing wrong or something and not the computer. However, it could quite possibly be a setting with color finesse or something with color finesse, cause I'm really the only one on these computers that uses color finesse.
    Anyway, thanks for any help in advance.

  • Does anybody know about PDF lessons of After Effects I can use to teach it?

    I teach at a high school level and I need to know if there is any resources I can buy to teach my students?

    There are a variety of educational resources available for After Effects. You may want to start at the Adobe Education Exchange:
    http://edex.adobe.com/
    Here's a slightly outdated curriculum guide:
    http://edex.adobe.com/pages/0189ea5dcf
    And here's a K-12 video channel that may be useful:
    http://tv.adobe.com/channel/students-educators/k12-education/
    Also, the Classroom in a Book series is meant to introduce the application to new students and can be used as a classroom curriculum:
    https://www.adobe.com/training/books/aftereffects.html
    Of course, never underestimate the power of a well-formed Google search.

  • When I use Premiere and After Effects at the same time, it causes my computer to restart. Why does it do that?

    When I create a dynamic link to after effects it will work for a couple seconds, but then I get a black screen saying error and that I need to restart my computer. I can use the programs independently, but not together.

  • After Effects CS6 Crashes using Mavericks

    So i updated my work computer to the new Maverick OS update. Everytime i open an After Effects project up over the server it crashes. I never had this problem before and until after i installed Mavericks. Is this something you guys are working on?

    I cannot find folder
    /Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/
    And what do you mean by
    Mavericks completely changes the way that Mac OS works with QuickTime files. So, try a project without QuickTime files and see if the problem happend without QuickTime media.
    Anyway to fix it?
    I open my After effects on Mavericks and it starts out fine, but when I open a project, it just crashes without any errors. The one thing I have noticed though is that when i open a project that my media is missing, it will open, but if I try to connect the media, it crashes. My after effects did work on the first day i had mavericks, but not anytime after that. And I don't think it's becuase I added a SSD to my macbook pro. It was working before that and the first day of mavericks.
    I am using 11.0.3
    Edit. I found out my problem lies within a plugin that I installed. The projects that I used had Denoisers II and everytime I opened them, it didn't work. So now I have to find a fix for that. At least now I can work on the projects I need.
