Help needed in After Effects

Hey guys, I'm from Holland so my english isn't that good.
I have a problem (Oh yes.) I have a background, for example(!) the left side of a bridge.
I want to animate that my background moves to the left, so the right side of the bright is visible.
I can do that, but now comes the problem. I have other layers, for example a road under the bridge with moving cars. How can i move the background and the other layers at the same time to the left? Without making it one layer.
thanks for your help, kind regards, Fabian.
Adobe After Effects.

I will try your opties. I'll let you know if it worked for me.
Ok, this works for me!
To parent one layer to another, just click the dropdown box under where
it says 'parent' in the composition window and select the layer you want
it to follow.

    I am not surprised by that.  You need more memory on your computer!  You went from a computer with only 3 GB RAM to one with just 2 GB RAM.
    Personally, I would not try to run AE on a computer with anything less than 8 GB RAM, and I would not try to use multiprocessing with it.  I would not try to use multiprocessing unless I had 16 GB RAM.
    After Effects uses a lot of memory.  You are in desperate need of more memory.  Until you get more, you will be unsuccessful when you use it.

  • Help Needed - Even after lodging "Presidential Complaint"

    Help needed please!!To make a long story short I have been through nothing but aggravation the past week trying to get my phone working. Service call on 7/6 to install Fios Internet, TV and phone. Internet and TV work fine, but Phone has no dial tone, going on a week and a half now. Tried contacting the account rep who set up my account, her supervisor as well as tech support on numerous occassions. 
    They set a dispatch for yesterday, and when the tech called me to say he was here, he was at an address i moved out of 4 years ago, in another state.I get a call from someone saying the service request was being closed and I need to call in with the correct address, after telling that rep I would not do that, that Verizon should make the updates based on my TV/Internet records, she hung up on me. Called back into Tech Support and the best they could do was an appointment for tomorrow. I then called the Corporate number and spoke with someone who opened a "Presidential Complaint" and requested an expedited call.. well i have heard nothing since then other than an automated call earlier today sayin my original service request will be kept. Needless to say I'm very upset that after a week and a half I still have no phone service and it doesn't seem like anyone is real willing to help me. I'm sure I'll get billed in full even though one of the 3 services I'm paying for hasn't been working in a week and a half..

  • HELP! My After Effects project is complete, but when I render out and playback the video is a lot faster then the original playback.

    I have finished my After Effects project. The project includes a lot of text and fade ins and outs and looks perfect in the playback. But once I render and playback with Quicktime the video does not look the same. The animations are very jumpy. Please help!
    Thanks,
    David V

    Hey David,
    Also, my AE comp is 29.97, but i have four other comps in that one and they're 23.97 fps.
    It seems like that would be the likely culprit. Is there a specific reason those comps (which are, I assume, nested inside the 29.97 one?) are 23.976? Do they contain 23.976fps footage? Mixing of comps, video and different frame rates can often cause juddery playback after rendering, as the interpolation of the frame rates to the master render frame rate happens without any interaction on the user's part. But AE gives many different options (and techniques, everyone has their own) to assist with getting the frame rates and speeds more aligned so the final frame rate is perfect for them all. It takes a little planning, that's all.
    Let me know, I'll be glad to help if this is the issue.

  • Help me set After Effects MultiProcessing

    Hello Guys,
    Could someone help me set MultiProcessing correctly?
    I've an esacore 5820k with HT so 12 Cores total seen by AE
    16GB of RAM in Quad Channel
    GTX 780 and plenty of SSDs (i've like 12 SSDs so no problem for space and fast storage)
    I generally mount videos for Youtube where I apply filters like light & shadow, saturation, selective color correction and cc lens
    How should I set the MultiProcessing tab?

    Josh JMFE wrote:
    The entire way MP is set up is un-intuitive and mostly a toss up.  AE should be smarter frankly.
    That's why After Effects is completely reworking how it does previews and whatnot.
    In case you missed the big announcement today: next major update for After Effects CC revealed | After Effects region of interest
    I would expect to continue to see further improvements in the next several versions.

  • HELP: My Videohive After Effects project is rendering artifacts!  AE CS6

    Hi all,
    HP-HPE 510t
    i7 2600 @ 3.4GHz
    16GB Ram
    Windows 8 x64bit
    Nvidia GTX 660 Ti
    I purchased a Videohive After Effects project with motion gfx and video, and it  is rendering artifacts in two places.
    I'm exporting Quicktime + animation, tried + PNG, and + photo jpeg but all with the same results.
    I even contacted the author but he cannot explain why either. The interesting thing is, it renders beautifully without any artifacts in AE.
    Only on the export render do I see the black silhouette artifacts. Below are some photos of what I mean.
    Please help? i'm trying to export the highest quality for youtube and am going to H.264 the lossless version.
    It looks correct in AE:

    But with black artifacts in lossless render?

    Thank Rick,
    Only reason that I'm using photobucket instead of the built-in image embeddor (camera icon), is because it doesn't seem to be working for me. All I get is an empty dialog box, tried also with video but that one seems to be working properly.
    maybe ill try firefox.
    any solutions for the artifacts??
    My output module settings so far have been..
    tried:
    1) Quicktime + Animation (lossless) quality 100
    2) Quicktime + photo jpg
    3) Quicktime + PNG (lossless) quality 100
    4) Quicktime + H.264  30mbps
    tried rendering again with "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" turned off...still getting artifacts only on these text offset animation frames.
    still looks perfect while in after effects.. I restarted my computer, I cannot figure this out.

  • Help Reinstalling Adobe After Effects

    I recently had to uninstall After Effects because of an error. Now when I try to Reinstall it from CC on my dashboard it acts like it is still installed. And if I try to install it from the website it says to download the trial version, when I click it it says that external protocol request to install it into CC, but then nothing happens. I am on a Mac Version 10.9.1
    Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Help with Premiere, After Effects and Davinci workflow

    Hi
    I'm scratching my head wondering how I'm going to solve this workflow issue that I have, but hopefully it isn't that much of an issue.
    We have shot a short film with an A-cam that delivers CinemaDNG files. I converted these files into Apple ProRes 422 Proxy with Davinci Resolve 9 Lite
    and then I imported the proxy files into Adobe Premiere CC. The idea is to then to > edit the film in Premiere > import it to After Effects CC  via Dynamic Link (to make the effects we're after) > send it back to Premiere > export as XML to Davinci > relink to the original CinemaDNG-files and perform the color grading, and then finally export the film (either back to premiere to export it with audio or export it directly from Davinci in some way?)
    I'm new to all this and I would really appreciate help!
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Patrik

    Hi guys and thanks for your replies!
    Well I thought I had a good post prod plan, but now I realized it maybe wasn't that good when AE gets involved.
    My initial idea was to follow this workflow tutorial > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpg0k3aD088#t=327 (He have now made this tutorial private and I'm having a hard time remembering my YouTube password so at the moment I can't watch it... great)
    CC may not specifically support A-CAM's CinemaDNG files, but it will do for a rough cut, even though it looks purple and horrible
    What do you think about this? I import the cinemadng folders into premiere and make a rough cut out of it, then I'll export the sequence as a XML file and bring it into Davinci where I relink to the cinemadng files and perform the color grading and then export it as 422 HQ (for example?) and then bring it back to Premiere to make my final edit and also use Dynamic Link with After Effects? Any possible failures with that technique?
    Regards
    Patrik
    Ps: Reason why I'd like to perform color grading in Davinci and not Speed Grade is because of the purple tint I get in SG and PP!

  • HELP!! AFTER EFFECTS WON'T INSTALL!

    I recently bought the CS3 Production Premium Suite. I had the trial version of AE3, now when I try to install the Suite it says "Cannot install After Effects CS3 because it conflicts with After Effects CS3." The other After Effects is already uninstalled, anyone know why it is doing this or how to fix it?

    >Can anyone help? Is it anything to do with registry or anything?
    Yes and no. Unfortunately ever since AE7 the installer creates an entire spiderweb of logfiles, references and shared components, so removing one will not necessarily fix the other. You could try removing any Registry keys that reference AE7 and delete all the Adobe shared components and the installer may be tricked into launching again, but be aware that this is experimental and at your own risk. You might have a hell of a time. In the grander scheme of things it would be simpler to completely nuke the system and reinstall Windows and all other programs from scratch. BTW, if you hadn't uninstalled so quickly, the problem probably could have been "fixed" by simply deleting the prefs...

  • Please Help! Photoshop & After Effects launch and fail.

    Both Photoshop and After Effects  seem to stop working after I launch them. After Effects starts by  telling me I don't have Quicktime and then starts to open a window only  to remain blank and tell me it stopped working. Photoshop just doesn't  even pop open a window. 
    Adobe Flash is the only one that seems to be working when I open it up.
    I  am running Windows 8.  This all started when I installed the drivers  for my new Bamboo Pen and Touch. I hope it isn't the problem since I  bought it solely for Photoshop and Flash. I have creative cloud.
    It Starts:
    Adobe Photoshop CC has stopped working
    "Windows is looking for a solution"
    Then it says:
    A  problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will  close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Thank you for any assistance

    Hi Twillus,
    Please follow the steps mentioned in the kb: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately-launch.html. You may even try running the software in Compatiblility mode for Win 7.
    Please let us know whether it worked.

  • I really need some After Effects Logic regarding ProRes 4444

    Regardinf ProRes 4444
    I cant unterstand why it is so difficult to make this work properly.
    It used to be that we could NOT select Trillions of Colors because they were grayed out.
    Thus giving us 16 Bit per channel...
    Then we had a fix althoug manual at first, we could then select 16 bit per channel...
    Now we have a NEW problem.... And it is exactly opposite.
    Now -- We cannot select Millions of colors thus 8 bit per channel.
    I have a project in 8 Bit and I want to render it to ProRes 4444 but NOT in 16 bit per channel but with 8 bit per channel.
    I cant do that as the Millions of colors (and Millions of Colors+) are grayed out...
    I have a really hard time understanding this never ending problem. How hard can it be... Or am I the one totally missing the obvious...
    BTW - Apples Compressor and Quicktime 7, correctly outputs 8 bit per channel incl. Alpha thus achieving 32 Bit (8 bit per channel)
    Why cant after effects...
    To the developers in case you are here ,-)
    If the AE project is 8 bit per channel we should be able to render 8 bit per channel ProRes4444
    If the AE project is 16 bit per channel we should be able to render 16 bit per channel ProRes4444
    Thanks for any clarification

    Apple Pro Rez 444 is a 12 bit codec. It always encodes at 12 bit. You can't force Pro-Rez 4444 to any other bit depth. The behavior in CS5.5 is correct and makes sense.
    FYI, ProRez 422 HQ is a 10 bit codec. It won't encode at anything else. Changing the color depth settings in the Output Module won't change the way the codec works.
    Here's a link to the ProRez white paper.
    Hi Rick,
    thanks for chiming in.
    I have already read that paper many times. Perhaps I am just not smart enough.
    When you say that it always encodes in 12bit... Does that mean that if I have a 16 Bit per channel Image Sequence that it would truncate the 4 upper bits ?
    Here is the description of Apple's Compressor ProRes 4444 Setting. Indicating 32 bit which would be 8 bit per channel alpha included...

  • Need Help! In After Effects

    Hi I know this may sound really basic but i'm new to Adobe After effectts. The problem that I'm having is that, I have just created a "cinematic look" for one of my shots. However once I put my next shot in, The effects that i changed are now gone. I don't know if there is an easy way to get this same look to my shot, but if there is i would be quite happy to hear that there is an easier way than just creating the effect ever new shot. Well thanks so much!
