Additional transistions, effects and PlugIns???

Anywhere to get some additional video transistions/effects for free that people have created? I figured there must be an open source community where people share the transistions and effects they have created for FCP. I have a few to share and would like to try out some others.
Thanks.

Additional File Formats and Plugins popup

I have deleted the effects folder in Plug-ins directory, and now, every time i start After Effects annoying message box pops up, saying it has attempted to install these plugins and failed (because i've canceled it )
Is there a way to get rid of the message (without AE attempting to download additional stuff)
Many thanks in advance
mike

hey, your answer is working,
when developing plugins for AE (i do!) you start/exit it quite often, it
does makes the difference - if you dont believe me just start AE with a
debugger and see how much time it takes to load all of them. Sure one
plugin does it quite quickly, but that there are hundreds of them!!!
sure, your metaphor is quite cool, but i would instead consider scraping
molluscs from the bottom of the (speed) boat.

No. Just let it finish the install. And it's not downloading anything, it's just restoring the default configuration from the installer backup. Why anyone would want to delete the whole effects folder is beyond me, anyway. This is like screwing out the lightbulbs in a room with no windows to conserve electricity on the chance that someone might actually accidentally turn them on... It's just not smart. As long as you don't use them, none of that gets in teh way, so there is no need to remove anything.

Additional effects and amp models for guitar

Do the jam packs include additional amp models and effects or presets? Granted I'm new to GB, but in 2 whole weeks I haven't been able to create 1 acceptable tone using my guitar (real instrument).
Typically, I stay within 4 tones on my practice tube amp. Dirty, clean, and both with slight chorus/reverb/flanger. Standard stuff that I can't seem to come even close to recreating in GB.
I'm looking for an Octave divider as well. Also, can you play bassline on a guitar and drop it 1-2 octaves? Wors't case I assume I could play the line and manually move the note down, right?
Thanks a lot.

I think there are more amps in the JPs, but I don't have any of them. I have heard some good sounds from folks using the amps in GB, but I mic my amp to get my sound. You can open the manual control for each amp and tweak them like you would a real amp. Have you done that? The presets for the guitar amps are a selection of effects and amp settings that are supposed to be for the type of sound the preset suggests. You don't have to keep them the way they are. You can tweak all of the parameters.
For playing bass on your guitar, you can use the vocal transformer plugin (Female to male) to get a lower octave. Some folks have reported this is satisfactory for bass. I have not done it, myself, as I have a bass.
You cannot "move" notes you play on your guitar. You can only move notes on software instrument regions.

CS4 - Additional File Formats and Effects Installation

We are operating in a networked environment and are experiencing trouble with After Effects 9 (CS4). Frequently AE wants to connect to the Web and download/install additional file formats and effects. The "student user" accounts do not allow this and the process fails. Some AE projects REQUIRE these additional components, so as we encounter this problem we log on as a local administrator and allow the application to update these components.
Is there a way to make these components part of our standard software library, so the next time we re-image a lab everything is in place? These additional components do not seem to be included in the standard Adobe Updater. Or perhaps there are a few directories which just need an adjustment to their NTFS permissions?
I haven't seen anything on the Web about this, nor in these forums. Has anyone else encountered this while in a networked enviornment? Solutions?
Thanks...

Lets assume that the correct (English) serial was entered during installation, and that there were no inconsistencies with language options...etc. At what point do those 3rd party codecs and plug-ins get installed? After first launching the product, or only when an AE project requires additional components?
I just did a fresh install on a new machine and never saw any dialogue box or alert about AE downloading and installing anything "extra". We don't set up any of our systems for multi-lingual use, and I'm quite certain another language was not specified during the install. I'll double check, but it would be useful to know what the trigger is for checking for these additional components, and if I can force it to happen on the machine I'm setting up as my master.
Thanks...

Kindly suggest me a free effect or plugin for color grading and correction in fcpx ....

I can't buy any more third party plugins at the moment .....plz now the only work remaining in my music video is color correction ....I want to give it a film look....can you suggest me a free effect or plugin with some presets to give it a good look.....Thank you....

I'd have to start by echoing what Tom said - the color tools in FCPX are well capable of creating a "flim look" and fixing color issues - which is all you've said is required.
I'd start with effects like "Dry Heat" and combine it with other effects and coloring.
3rd party tools are only going to give you similar presets that won't work in all cases, and you'll have to do the same thing. That is, you still need to figure out how to color properly whether you get 3rd party tools or not.
Having said that, I use Magic Bullet Mojo, because it ultimately combines many useful "Dry Heat"/filmy type effects into one and is sensitive to, and has several special parameters, for getting skin tones right.

I am new to After Effects and Motion 5 and I have a question

Hello there,
I am currently working on a personal side project for a family member. She would like me to make a video with recorded audio and pictures from the 1920’s for my grandmother. I would like to give the parallax and 2.5D effect a try but as I never used After Effects or Motion before I am a little overwhelmed.
I have about 80 images to animate. Right now I am in the ‘Photoshop phase’. I am going through each image and separating the foreground, mid-ground, and background, into separate layers and saving the .psd files to eventually bring into Motion 5 (or After Effects) and animate.
After seeing this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrYyX3bHI8
I really wanted to animate the images I had in a similar fashion. I really loved how they seemed to move and know that I can accomplish this appearance with the pin tool in After Effects. After seeing this video however, I continued looking into the 2.5d effect and found this movie for Motion 5:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxlm2nkVLA
I bought Motion 5 because I thought the interface seemed more user friendly to newcomers (like myself), the effects were similar, and because I couldn’t afford to pay for After Effects every month.
But now I am kicking myself. Motion 5 is lovely and I do like the camera effects but I don’t think I can accomplish the ‘puppet’ effect with it like I can in After Effects. Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a plugin for Motion 5? Can I send my .psd files into Motion 5, set up the timeline and cameras, save it, and then move it into After Effects and then use the pin tool to manipulate the images and layers?
I have read that some say it is hard to move Motion files into After Effects? If this is the case, could I save the Motion file, open it in Adobe Premiere, and THEN open it in After Effects and play around with it?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.

2.5D is fairly easy to do in Motion... that's the good news. The bad news is: if you don't know what you need to do to accomplish it, it's practically impossible to do easily or well.
The first problem to overcome is perspective, and the other problem is parallax.
These two tutorials (by Mark Spencer) will give you all the information you need dealing with moving Photoshop Layers in Z-space. Even though the point of the tutorials is a "fly through", the same information applies to creating 2.5D. Just animate the camera laterally (sweep) instead of dolly.

Problem finding my sound effects and music in final cut pro X

I am having a problem finding my sound effects and music in final cut pro X. I just bought a new i
Mac, because my Mac pro died. when I was using the mac pro, I had final cut Pro X loaded, and in the Music and sound library, I had stock tracks from APM music that came with final cut. now that I have loaded final cut to my new computer, I do not see those tracks. Am I missing something?

The FCP X sound effects were an additional external download and were not kept in the FCP X application.
You probably need to re-download them.
In the FCP menu at the top left of your screen you will see the download link.

Rendered clips play in After Effects and Premier, but not in Speedgrade

Hi,
I am very new to the world of Speedgrade, and have started running some tests, but hit a brick wall right at the get go. I have an After Effects project, that has a few layers, some are filmed footage, some are photoshop images etc. there are also a few plugins used (Lens Flare, Particulare etc). I render this comp out to two outputs, 1 - Quicktime JPEG2000 Intermediate (Highest quality settings) and 2 - Quicktime DNxHD Proxy (Lowest quality settings). I can import and play bot these exports in After effects and Premier, but when I take them to Speedgrade, I dont get playback.
Here are screenshots:
After Effects footage settings:
Visual of the smoke in After Effects of the imported render:
The same file imported into sSpeedGrade:
Is this something that can easily be explained?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Joost,
Thjank you for your feedback. I have submitted a bug-report as you suggested. I will find another workaround for now, probably doing most needed colour work in After Effects directly for now.
Thank you

CS 5.5 After Effects and Premier Pro not listed in install

I recently purchased an overstock item of the CS 5.5 Master Collection student edition and attempted to install all of the applications. I successfully installed everything with the exception of After Effects and Premier Pro. AE and PPr are clearly part of the package, but are not included in the list of applications during the install (screen shot below).

After Effects and Premiere dont start on a new Mac.

Heyho community,
one thing up front... my english is not the best, so please be patient if i dont understand everything straightaway.
my macbook is just a few weeks old, means i am a noob to mac osx.
i recently installed the adobe creative suite and photoshop, illustator and flash are working fine. but after effects and premiere wont start. i sse the starting window and then it breaks.
i guess that it has somwthing to do with admin rights, something like that i have read in some other forums.
my main account is admin and maybe i have to start the programs with root rights, but i dont have any idea how to do this.
anyway... if i am completly wrong with that admin-guess, tell me.
Another Thing that may help you finding some ideas for solving the problem.
if i directly start after effects in terminal, it shows inside terminal this error message:
error for object 0x122a2c1b0: pointer being freed was not allocated
And another thing... if i start the mac in save mode i can run both programs, but if i try it in normal mode againt they dont work.
Any suggestions?
Regards from germany

I have reinstalled everything now, then running the cleanscript and repairung rights with the intsall dvd. now it still wont work. maybe this changelog out of the terminal will help you:

Multiple effects or plugins in a preset?

I create alot of looks or effects that require 2 or more effects or plugins and quite often I need to use them again in later projects.
Apart from creating a preset folder named "The Effect" and puting all my plugins/effects in them for later use and making sure I have the right stack order,is there a simpler way you can have an effects preset that contains all effects & plugins?
or is this another feature request?

The instructions here describe how to save an effect preset that consists of multiple effects. Is that not working for you?

Determining frame requested by After Effect (AEGP Plugin)

Hi,
I am writing Source Generator(AEIO)(File Importer) plugin for Adobe After Effect.
Frames from file are to provided in AEIO_DrawSparseFrame callback.
But AEIO_DrawSparseFrame does not tell which frame it wants.
Also if we treat tr as current frame time in AEIO_DrawSparseFramePB structure, then also there are no consecutive calls to frame time when we render (i.e there are calls to frame number 0,2,4...).
Does anyone has any idea to determine the frame number required by After Effect and in consecutive sequence (i.e 0,1,2,3 ...).
Thanks

Huh? What are the comp settings? They must be 720x480 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL with teh respective correct pixel aspect ratios. Also make sure to disable/enable audio as needed in bothe the main Output Module settings >>>and<<< the MPEG-II exporter (just in case this will be the next error that pops up.

After Effects: AEGP Plugin TIFFIO: UnExpected End of File (5027 :: 12)

I have a clown render for an animation I am working on (the content is not important). When I duplicate the first layer, flip it horizontally there are no problems when I run a RAM preview. But when I time reverse the layer I get this error message "After Effects: AEGP Plugin TIFFIO: UnExpected End of File (5027 :: 12)". Now in the past this meant that some of the tiff. renders had been corrupted due to copying and pasting the still frames into another folder using windows explorer. So to fix the issue I would simply re-render the still frames to the proper folder which meant I no longer needed to copy and paste the still .tiff files. But now whats different this time is that the error message only pops up when I use the "Layer, Time, Time-Reverse Layer".
This should work. I have done this exact animation at a smaller resolution (800x800). The only difference is now I have re-rendered the same footage at a higher resolution (1424x1424).
Anyone know what causes this issue?

It might be just one file in the sequence that's flakey and it only shows up with reversal, because you may never have actually sampled the frame in normal mode. This might also have shown up during render only, e.g. when rendering with fields would have sampled the frames at a different time. I'd re-check your sequence. As ´TimeRemapper said, it may also be an issue with teh options you chose for saving the TIFFs. In that case running it through an image viewer/converter like XnView or Maya's fcheck utilty might fix the problems...
