A very important question for every After Effects user

a very important question for every After Effects user, from product manager Steve Forde:

Tom Daigon Great idea everybody! Encourage Adobe to do ONLY ONE THING with AE for 2014. Since theres not a heck of a lot of development that can be done on the present foundation, they can really stretch the rental scheme out for many years.And once you get used to the concept, every year they will do ONE THING to placate you. So now they have you swallowing no "ownership" of software and limited development.

  • Really my question is about after effects, which then renders to a quick time movie.  I have imported music into after effects many times, and all of a sudden after import and playing it under ram preview, it stops about 4/5 through the work.

    when I import a song into after effects it only plays 4/5 and then stops.  I'm viewing it in RAM preview.
    the composition time is fine.
    can you help me???

  • Import files.mov in After Effects.

    Hi everyone.
    I'm coming to you because I have a new problem when I'm importing my files.mov in After Effect cs6.
    I use "Toon Boom Studio" to make stickman animation (it's for a project for my school) and when I'm exporting the file, I set 25 fps, 1920x1080 resolution and Apple ProRes 422 compression.
    When I'm playing the animation in quicktime, we can see that every parameters are corrects :
    But when I import this file in After Effect CS6, a strange thing happened :
    The fps of this file is to 26.042 and especially I don't have all the frames of my file. I mean there isn't the last frame of my animation. It seems that my animation was cut at the end. But it isn't when I played it in Quicktime or VLC.
    I'm sorry for my english, I hope you will understand me.

    Hello,
    You means changes the fps of the file to 26.042 to 25 ? If it's what you are talking about, I already try this, but it still miss the end of my animation.
    I create an animation with a stickman of 8 frames, 4 differents :
    And when I open it in After Effect, there isn't the last one. And it seems that the first picture last 3 frames in AE instead of 2.

  • Which of these iMacs would be best for running After Effects?

    Hello, pretty simple question, which of these 2 iMac configurations would be best suited for using After Effects and other video editing software like Premiere or Final Cut Pro X?
    Option 1 - 21.5 inch
    3.1GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
    16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X8GB
    1TB Fusion Drive
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1GB GDDR5
    Option 2 - 27 inch
    3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
    8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB
    1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5
    For some reason Apple don't offer more than 1GB of dedicated video ram in anything but the maxed out 27inch. Personally, I’m not fussed about the bigger screen and I would say that having the faster processor, double the ram and a fusion drive would be more beneficial than the extra gig in the video card but I’m not 100% sure, what do you guys think? Thanks.

    You need 16GB of ram for AE. Whether you get the 27 or 21 you still need that much ram. AE only uses the Ray Tracer for specific processes that are often not used. I would not worry so much about the GPU with this. Take the higher CPU and atleast 16GB of ram though 32GB is ideal.

  • Problem with importing premiere project into after effects

    Hi. When I import premiere project into after effects CS4 the files I speed up 2x (for example) look likes on the snapshot below, and they are not in the correct places.
    what can I do?

    Then don't speed them up... This is "as designed". AE and Premiere are not compatible in their tiem-remapping/ time-stretching, so tehre is no way to move between them without losing that info.

  • How to do a very smooth slo-mo in after effects

    How do a very smooth slo-mo in after effects....please help i really need this.....tnx

    1) The Effect Way
    Take you clip and drag in onto the new composition icon
    Enter the composition settings
    Set it to twice its current length
    Exit Comp settings
    Drag THAT composition onto a new composition and go to FX>Time and drag TimeWarp onto the layer.
    If you use the default settings your clip will become half speed.
    Please refer to the Manual to understand the parameters.
    Now render your movie out.
    2) The up to double or tripple Fps way
    Drag your clip onto the new composition icon
    Let us assume that your clip is i.e. 29.97
    Enter the composition settings and set Frames Per Second to either the double or triple amount of the current clip's Fps.
    Extend the length of your composition accordingly.
    Exit composition settings
    Enable Frame Blending and make sure you set it to pixel motion.
    Render the video out (make sure the frame rate is set to that of the composition)
    After rendering out, import the movie again which is now either 59.94 or 89.91 (Depending on double or tripple)
    Select it and choose (right-click) interpret footage - in the dialog select your original FPS - in this case 29.97
    Exit out of interpret footage dialog
    Now drag it on to a new comp icon. It will play back in nice slow motion
    PLEASE, refer to manual on Pixel motion etc along with any other term you dont understand.
    To get optimum and best results you would typically want to use a combination of both above scenarios.
    But that would be too much right now... Given that you are inexperienced in creating SM....
    Experiment with it and in no time you will have marvelous SM.
    Hope this helps

  • What Systems are the Pros Using for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade?

    I bought the full Creative Cloud in hopes of making a career for myself in audio/visual editing. The problem is, my system doesn't seem to be able to handle the software, particularly when changing back and forth between the three programs mentioned above. Beyond that, my first project failed to export properly. Moreover, all throughout its development the system lagged badly. And this is after having followed all the preferences recommendations available in the Adobe's tutorials and elsewhere on the Web.
    Here's my system:
    SYX-P67A-C43: Intel Core i7 2600 (an 8-core unit) at 3.4GHz, with 8 Gigs of RAM (soon to be 16) with a GTX 550 NVidia Card, 1Gig of RAM.
    As you can see, this is far in excess of what Adobe claims to be the minimum system requirements. It's obviously NOT.
    What systems are the Pros using (like the guys in the tutorials) for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade? Give me the exact machines with all the specs so I can price one up.

    ...although a little " old" now.....the fundamentals of your machine are still OK to get started IF you : 1. INCREASE your system memory to the full 32 GB....should make a BIG difference in performance.....8 GB is NOT enough, it will HINDER performance. 2. OVERCLOCK your CPU !!!.....many owners of your CPU have been safely running at 4.5 Ghz or HIGHER...some at 4.8 Ghz !!! This OC will make a DRAMATIC improvement  as  CPU speed is a huge factor in performance. 3. Improve your video card to a new NVidia 970 with 4 GB of video memory. 4. Check and MAKE SURE the power supply in your machine is ADEQUATE to handle everything, esp. if you overclock the CPU....generally 850 to 1,000 watts of a quality make is good. 5. Use a fast storage system...that means a SATA III SSD as your "C" drive, ( boot drive), being a Crucial M550 series,( or, M600 series), OR, a Samsung 850 Pro series SSD, ( more expensive). Other SSDs are NOT recommended, only these two makes are recommended for technical reasons. On this "C" drive, you should have Operating system, Programs, and Windows page file ONLY !! Your "D" drive can be ANOTHER single SSD to be used as a "cache drive" for all the previews, media cache, and cache files that Premier Pro creates PLUS, it can ALSO serve as the "Global Performance cache" used in After Effects. All your media and project files can go on your "E" drive. HERE you would have LIMITED OPTIONS because your motherboard only has TWO SATA III ports, ( which would already be used b the "C" and "D" SSDs). You NOW have only 4 SATA II ports left ......you COULD RAID 0 four 1 TB HDDs off these ports and have a 4TB backup drive connected to one of your TWO USB 3 external ports.....any DVD or Blue-ray can ALSO go on an external port.
    However, if you are into spending REAL MONEY !!!.....Go Haswell E and X99 all the way !!...THAT will give you great performance !!

  • Import animated model in after effects

    Hello guys.I was wandering if there is a way to import a 3d model that was animated in programs like 3ds max an so.I mean not just rotation and possition but animated some part of the object also.e.g if it is a humman then he have to have animated hands.Thanks in advance and if there is something that u didnt understand , feel free to ask plsease.

    I already have some pretty good 3D applications that can output OBJ and DXF amongst others (also FBX).  Do I really need to buy Zaxwerks JUST to import my OBJ into After Effects CS6?  In previous versions I could export an OBJ to Photoshop Extended and then import that as a 3D layer into AE (I just saw a tutorial on it) But I just learned that that functionality has been removed from AE CS6.  So what do I do now to get a 3D model into AE as a 3D layer?  I don't necessarily want to render everything from the 3D application as stills.  I would like to try to use AE's cameras so that I can integrate other AE layers with my 3D objects. 
    Or should I just stick to the old guns and do everything in the 3D application and render as stills?

  • To request my serial number for Adobe After Effects to upgrade to 64bit system

    I have AE cs6 and I need to upgrade to 64bit system.
    How and where to request my serial number for Adobe After Effects to upgrade to a compatible 64-bit operating system? (because no customer service answered me)

    I don't understand your problem.
    After Effects CS6 runs on 64 bit systems.  You use the same serial number you use on a 32 bit system.
    If you want to upgrade to the CC subscription version, you can do so on the Adobe website.
    What do you mean that no customer service answered you?  Did you speak to Adobe Support?  What did they say?

  • Can anyone answer a very simple question for me ive heard the apple was giving a free iphone 4 or 4s bumper away is there any truth to that?

    can anyone answer a very simple question for me ive heard the apple was giving away iphone 4 or 4s bumpers is there any truth to that?

    Not any more, no. There was a free bumper program back when the iPhone 4 originally came out. It has long since expired.
