Applying photoshop filters in After effects layers!

Hi. Is it possible applying those photoshop filters into After effects layers? I thought the filter worked like layers, so when I import the photoshop files to AE I could drag the filter and apply it on a movie layer! I didn't work! Is it possible? thks!
PS: I'm using Production premium CS5.5!

Well, I'm reading the book ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS CS5 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK; chapter 6 (animating layers): it's about importing PSD files to After effects compositions! I was thinking about creating scenarios to a movie using PSD files.  When I apply a layer style to a picture in Photoshop CS5, save this picture, and import this picture to AE it comes likes 2 files: a composition ( picture + layer stile) and a picture without the layer style. I'm gonna use the very same words of the book.
Though layer styles are referred to as effects in Photoshop, they behave more like blending modes in AE...Another diference is that each layer style blends directly with the underlying layers in the composition, whereas an effect is rendered on the layer to which it's applied, the result of which then interacts with the underlying layers as a whole!
Well, I have tried to apply a layer style on a movie file of my composition but it doesn't work cuz the layer style doesn't come alone, it comes with the picture!
So I have figured the following possibility! Take a look in this!
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T5L62G9WLio/UALdatCbrmI/AAAAAAAAAyI/7hQJK_drigg/s1600/Screen19.j pg
What if I apply a filter in this shot. Will the filter be applied only on the statue or it would be applied on the checkerboard background too? If the second possibility is possible I could apply this image above a movie and use the filter on it, couldn't I? After all the checkerboard background is transparent! Got it?

  • Opacity of photoshop images in after effects

    When I import  a photoshop image into after effects, the image always has less opacity than the video. You can see through it.
    I have tried every adjustmen or effect I can find to increase the opacity but nothing works. The photshop image is 100% opacity.
    I have tried importing as a comp too. Can anyone tell me how to get still images into after effects so that you cant see through them?  thanks John

    ...which means that you need to begin at the beginning.  AE is NOT the kind of application that lets you jump into the deep end of the pool.  Your experiences with something as simple as importing a Photoshop document, and the confusion you encountered, are blindingly-clear testimony to that simple fact.
    You really owe it to yourself to take advantage of the free training materials for beginners found here:

  • Extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects

    How do it extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects?
    I am just getting my hands dirty with metadata.
    I know it is possible to attack metadata to a layer/layerset in Photoshop, but how to I get it out in After Effects.
    Here is the process.
    I create BunchaLayers.psd.
    Using the PerLayerMetaData.jsx file attached.
    I use the setCommMetadata("something") function to attacked metadata to a selected layer.
    I know that is is there because I check it using the exportLayerMetadata().
    I save and imprt BunchaLayers.psd into AE as a comp.
    Here I am lost.
    I select my layer in the project window and check the XMP metadata window.
    I can't find my comment.
    Is the XMP data actually attached to the layer I imported in AE?
    I want to be able to select the layer and see that the data is attached.  Is this possible?
    If it is will it work on layersets (comps in AE)?
    I would appreciate any layer specific XMP insight.
    Thanks for looking.
    - Josh

    John Nack on Adobe : Per-layer metadata comes to Photoshop
    This was the article that made me think this might be possible.
    There is also the preference to Create Markers From Metadata
    ["Metadata"]
              "CreateLayerMarkersFromFootageXMP" = 01
    Which made me wonder if there is a way to create the metadata in the first place that made it something AE would read and automatically change to layer markers.
    Any ideas?

  • Importing a video layer from photoshop cs5 to after effects cs5

    hi - you guys were so brilliant and prompt on answering my last question. thankyou
    i did have another i needed help with -
    is it possible to bring in a video layer from photoshop cs5 to after effects cs5 - i tried but it said "the photoshop library operation failed because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop"
    thanks again

    In the import dialog box, uncheck the Photoshop Sequence option.
    The problem is the number on the end of your file name.  When After Effects sees a number there, and there are other files in that directory with the same name and a number, it thinks the images are part of a sequence and will enable that checkbox.

  • Photoshop Curves for After Effects.

    It would be great to have the Photoshop Curves instead of the Synthetic Curves in After Effects. The Synthetic Curves are just not as extensive as the ones from Photoshop.
    Can the Photoshop team team up with the After Effects team. It is painfull and time consumming to go to Photoshop, use Curves, save Curves and import Photoshop curves to After Effects.

    <<I agree. I use the eyedroppers in Photoshop Curves all the time. I think it's time for you to add your name to a feature request. You'll find the form here.>>
    Done... Wish us luck.

  • Importing Photoshop 3D in After Effects

    hello,
    I am experiment in photoshop and i discovered a REPOUSSE option in 3D menu which allows me to convert a text layer into 3D.
    And then I saved that file as PSD and tried to open it in After Effects as a 3D text for my animation,
    But it did not work.
    So Can I export 3D converted text layers into After Effects for 3D? or do i need XARA 3D

    Thank you for providing very helpful information regarding photoshop Repousse 3D
    Sorry for insufficient information provided by me, from next time i'll discuss whole thing in detail.
    I am interested in achieving text explosion effect using  SIMULATION>shatter, as text explode with material.
    I understand that the SIMULATION>shatter effect is 2D, is there any way to achieve same effect?
    The steps are as follows :
    1) I turn on the text layer in 3D,
    2)  edit that layer in Repousse
    3) then in the 3D window, in the quality filter I applied Ray Traced Final
    4) and then saved it as a .psd
    5) after that I opened the said psd in AE, as a composition
    6) in the said comp I got 4 layers, 1) BG, 2) TEXT, 3) Text Controller, 4) Camera
    7) then i applied SHATTER effect, on the TEXT layer
    8) as effect applied I previewed it, but text broken in 2D, (as SHATTER effects is not a 3D)
    9) I don't have any 3D software to create material so can you please tell me shall I achieve the same effects using ADOBE SOFTWARES????
    THANK YOU

  • After Effects, Layers change position when converting project from CC to CC 2014

    When we convert some projects from CC to CC 2014 some of the layers are shifting position (both x & y).
    Anyone else seeing this kind of problems?

    Photoshop changed how layer bounds are calculated in some cases, which causes the Photoshop library that we include with After Effects to also have this change. We are currently working to determine how to fix this for the next update. It's tricky, because the new way that Photoshop is doing things is more correct... but it also means that projects created in previous versions look different when opened in the new version. We'll probably end up with a "legacy" option that will prevent this conversion from happening when opening old projects.

  • Illustrator to after effects layers

    If I have a layer in illustrator with multiple sub layers and groups etc with lots of effects and symbols etc and I then import to after effects as a single layer does after effects still have to render all that information or does it just see it as a single flat image?     Someone told me that if I dont rasterise it first that after effects will still have to read all that information constantly and so it will use a lot of processing power.  Im not sure if this is correct though?

    If you're seeing everything in your drawing, seeing all of the layers, then so is AE. It renders them all. It uses all of the vector shapes as vectors except for those layers that have raster effects applied. A raster effect is any effect applied in illustrator that uses the document raster settings to make it's calculations. These layers are not continuously rasterized even when the CR switch is on.
    Unless I specifically do not want to do any layer manipulation of the individual layers I always use the release the layers tool to give me individual layers for each shape. Some of these shapes may be re-grouped. Some may not. Then I import the .ai file as a composition retaining layer sizes. This allows me to do all of the manipulation that I need in AE.
    Also, if I am given an .ai file that has a bunch of raster effects applied I try and remove those in a duplicate copy and then use the original as a reference to rebuild the file in AE. I actually have to do this fairly often with logos designed by a print person.
    I hope this helps. Generally .ai files render very quickly unless the number of line or triangle segments go way way up. Unless you are experiencing render problems I would not worry about the groups and effects.

  • Can't install CS6 apps- photoshop, illustrator, indesign, after effects, flash and dreamweaver.

    Hi, thanks for any insight you can provide:
    my specs are as follows:

    I had CS6 master collection installed on my computer up until today. I removed it because Illustrator was having a strange issue where points would snap to random nothing and, align wouldn't work and changing the stroke of an object would cause it to move down and to the left each time the stroke changed.
    Illustrator issues aside, since uninstalling I can't get it to reinstall! It gives the following error:

    run cleaner tool, restart, resintall - same error
    in checking the error codes individually it looked as though I might have file system errors
    I rebooted with command+r and launched disk utilities from there (mac safe mode I guess?)
    verified mac hdd: verified OK
    ran repair anyway- verified OK again
    checked and, if possible, repaired each other volume- all OK
    rebooted, reinstalled, same error
    I am going to address the first error now- that the display requirements were not met, and remove my external diplay from my macbook and reinstall.
    Any help you might have though, I would be very grateful.

    oh, also, i've re-downloaded the installer and also gotten a third installer from a friend.
    removing the external display did not help

    Surely you realize the simple issue this creates: neither solution works for CS6 users. Hence, why I feel like such users are left in the cold when it comes to importing 3D.
    Am I crazy? What am I missing about this simple issue? Pre-CS6 users didn't have to pay extra to import 3D; CC users don't have to pay extra to import 3D; why should I?
    After Effects (any version) doesn't have the capability to directly import and use 3D model files, if that's what you desire. Plug-ins for After Effects CS6 like Video Copilot's Element 3D, AtomKraft, and Zaxwerks ProAnimator and 3D Invigorator allow you to work with 3D files. Cinema 4D and 3DS Max have integrated workflows with After Effects CS6 that exchange their 3D data with After Effects.
    Outside of this, a common workflow is to render your 3D model to a sequence file, and then to import that into After Effects. This works regardless of which 3D modeling application or which version of After Effects you are using. Here's some information and links to resources:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/en/after-effects/using/preparing-importing-3d-image-files.html#impo rting_and_using_3d_files_from_other_applications
    There's lots of information available about workflows between 3D modeling applications and After Effects that don't involve Photoshop. If you're having trouble finding what you need, I recommend creating a new thread with specific information about what applications you're using and what you're trying to accomplish.

  • Exporting 3D image in Photoshop CS5 to After Effects CS5

    Hi there,
    Is there anything special I need to do when saving a PSD file with a 3D layer in it?  I've done this with CS4 and it's worked flawlessly--upon upgrading to CS5, I can't seem to figure out how to Render for Final Output (I've got Ray Trace Final set, but I never noticed it formally render anything) and make it show up pretty in AE.  You can see what it shows up as below.  In Photoshop it looks much better.  Any tips on figuring this out?
    Thanks for your help
    After Effects:
    Photoshop:

    Bummer. I've tried to adjust every setting possible via preferences as well as in the 3D options window.  I did notice that when the render settings are set to "Solid" instead of "Flat," the image appears garbled just like it does when imported into After Effects--is this because of an error in rendering from 3D studio max or something? Should the Face Style be set to Solid or Flat? I've been using Flat this whole time because it looked best. See below.
    Solid:
    Flat:
    I'm at a loss for what to do at this point. I have to deliver in less than 12 hours.  Any additional input would be very helpful.
    Thank you

  • 3D photoshop file to After Effects live photoshop 3D help CS5!

    please help,
    I can make my photoshop 3D logo but I try to open the .PSD in After Effects and change it to a compossision and enable live photoshop 3D, but when I open the comp its just a 2D picture and only has 1 layer and no cameras. My 3D logo is from a imported .jpg that I made in illustrator. I select it then make a repousse and it works but the problem is importing to AE. I've tried 3D > Export > 3D file saved as photoshop format, and I've tried saving as just a psd but they both do the same thing. All I get is a psd in after effects with only 1 layer containing my logo in 2D on a white background.
    please help! what am I doing wrong?
    much appreciation.

    Probably, not too long to go...

  • After Effects Layers

    Ok so I am new to After Effects and I am sure this is so simple but I cant figure it out. I am trying out this fake kick back effect with my brother. I have a shot where i kick a light stand. Then a shot of my brother getting flung back. Then a clean plate of neither of us or the light stand. I put them on top of each other in after effects, but i think only one is showing up at a time. I am trying to adjust the opacity of one so I can line up my brother, my foot, and the light stand, but the opacity wont even adjust because it is only showing one of the layers.

For some reason when I double clicked the clip on the timeline, it put it in my viewer by itself with no clips behind it. Does that make more sense? If not ill get the basics down.
    A basics video will only get you started on your path toward total confusion. You've got to invest many hours in actually working with AE's interface and studying the theory behind the rendering pipeline and why AE presents layer windows and timeline windows to accomplish what you now think are duplicative functions.
    AE is a big, deep, monstrous application. You canot even imagine how complex AE is. Yet, once you've got the fundamental skills and pipelines memorized, the rest is more or less linear application of and extrapolation of these basics.
