Adobe After Effect used in Harry Potter !

Dear friends this might sound a bit childish , but I couldn't help myself to ask this question here !
I have seen all the films and I wondered if Hollywod used Adobe After effect anywhere in their HP films !!
I know some of the plug ins (Red Giant, Trapcode Shine, Glow) are capable of doing some of the things that its done in the movie !
But just carious , if AE is doing the job or there are other programs that might be used !
Any Ideas !

"I think if After Effects was used extensively in the actual film, Adobe would be all over it and I have not seen such. "
That depends. Many shops don't want to publicize that they use AE on final shots for feature films. This only tends to re-inforce the fact that other shops don't mention it either.
Unless a shop specifically tells Adobe we can talk about it publically, we keep our mouth shut.

    Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck  is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded. 
    You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:

    I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

  • 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.

  • Using Adobe After Effects CS5- Trouble with Echo & 3D Camera

    Hi
    i'm using Effects CS5 to a create a set of superman esque titles implementing the method found in the link below
    www://vimeo.com/6562241
    Everything goes smootlhy until i try making additional changes to the animation.
    Here's my problem, since this process requires echo to achieve the effect. I try and set an independant camera motion from the text as it extrudes outward. But...once the text begins its animation and the camera starts to move the echo or the extrusion is ALWAYS...ALWAYS altered by the camera. (The path of the echo is follows the path of the camera.) Whether it's in a x, y, or z path it still occurs.
    Sure i can change the camera angle and view it from a different perspective stationary, but i can't get them to move independant paths from each other without thecho being altered as well.
    IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS A WIZ AT ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS PLEASE PLEASE RESPOND

    Pre-compose the layer, then move the camera. Won't give you correct perspective, though. After all, Echo is simply a 2D buffer accumulation, not a 3D extrusion.

  • Using adobe after effects templates in fcpx

    Is it possible to use an adobe after effects template in motion 5 or fcpx? If so how do I go about doing this? I am fairly new to this and i found a template that i would really like to use for a football highlight video that i am putting together. Thank you ahead of time for any help that yall can give me.

    On more research, I discovered the following link showing a workflow to go between FCP X and After Effects.  Please disregard my first post.  Adobe After Effects is currently in 64 bit, but their site says it is compatible with Mac OS 10.5.8 and 10.6. Not sure if Lion would therefore be included.  Sorry for the wrong info.

    yes, I did that with helping message 3, I'd remove Cs6 only, but it did not help. The message "Failed to initialize the setup program. To identify the problem, download the program Adobe Support Advisor" repeat again =(

  • Can I use adobe after effects with my project from premiere elements

    Wondering if I can use adobe after effects with my premiere elements project

    drunner
    What version of Adobe After Effects do you have?
    Whatever the case, I have not found any Adobe After Effects documentation that include a Premiere Elements project.prel file as a supported import choice.
    I suspect that you are going to have to export your Premiere Elements Timeline as a .mp4 file with a After Effects supported compression into After Effects.
    But, I would ask in the Adobe After Effects Forum just to double check.

    More later.

  • Using Adobe After Effects CS5

    Hi guys I need your help with this. I'm using Adobe After Effects CS5 on my iMac 06 and I just wanted to know, how exactly do I edit my movie frame by frame?

    Heres my problem, since this process requires echo to achieve it. I try and set and independent camera motion from the text while it extrudes outward. But... once the animation starts the echo ALWAYS...ALWAYS is disrupted and altered by the camera movement, whether its in a x, y , or z path. Sure i can move the camera angle and view it from there, but i cannot have the two moving independent from each other.

  • Is the 3rd party plug-in 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' which comes with Adobe After Effects, free to use?

    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?

    Yes, it's free and inclusive with every AE install.

    Which chipset is on your system's motherboard? Which motherboard is your PC equipped with?
    If the motherboard is using an AMD 790 or 970 series chipset, the HyperTransport bus will be running at a reduced speed, and thus the CPU performance will be worse than a quad-core Intel i5 CPU without hyperthreading. In many instances, this means that the GPU will be laying idle, waiting for the CPU to catch up.
    If on the other hand the motherboard uses an AMD 990FX chipset, then it's likely that there is something else bottlenecking your PC.

  • CS5 or CS5.5 Adobe After Effects

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and was wondering if CS5 or CS5.5 Adobe After Effects was available still?

    No. You can only buy current versions. If your machine allows, it would be easier to just upgrade OSX, otehrwise you'll have to find a legit used copy of these older versions, which might prove quite difficult...

  • Adobe After Effects Problems

    I edited a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 with no problems. After I exported it, I checked the movie in Windows media player to make sure everything was okay. In Windows Media Player, the movie played well with audio and video. After that, I imported it into Adobe After Effects. The Movie is 1280x720 60fps. However, after I did a RAM preview of the clip, there was still no audio. I doubled checked the clip outside of After Effects and it played with audio just fine. Is there something wrong with the way I originally exported it or is it a software error? Also, when I imported the movie into After Effects, it played in Slow-motion after RAM preview instead of playing in regular motion. Can someone please help? Thanks.

    I think that you're clicking the wrong button and not, in fact, using RAM preview. The Play button in the Preview panel does not start a RAM preview.
    See this page for how to do a RAM preview. Pay special attention to the icons that illustrate what buttons to click.
