Adobe After Effects 7, Layer/Transfer/Mode/Screen

Hi
I have Adobe After Effects 7 and I'm folowing a tutorial on the internet and it says I should go to Layer/Transfer/Mode/Screen. Fair enough, sounds easy peasy, but there is no menu for that. So do you know if its located somewhere esle in the program, thanks...

Since After Effects is not an Apple product, you'd probably be better off posting your question on Adobe's discussion forums:

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 - how to uninstall/reinstall or transfer license to a new computer

         My old computer has crashed, and so I built a new one recently. I have been installing all the applications for it, downloading files, so on and so forth. I recently insterted one of the hardrives from my old computer, and was able to see the files I had from my old computer. All of my adobe applications are on there, and I can see them, however; I cannot use them, which is okay, since most of them were free applications that I could download from the website. But Adobe After Effects CS6, which is the application I really need, does not open it; instead, it reads: "Configuration Error: Please uninstall and reinstall the product. Error: 16". I bought the CD for After Effects last summer, but I cannot find it anywhere. I heard you don't need the CD to transfer the license to a new computer, but I can't figure out how to do this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since after building my computer, I have absolutely no funds nor interest to buy another After Effects CD.
    Thanks,
    John W. King

  • Adobe after effects blue screen at "Intializing User Inferance"

    Everytime i start up Adobe after effects cs4 i get a blue screen error at intializing user inferance. Can anyone help me with this? I have reinstalled after effects a couple times with no luck

    Bluescreen = system problem, not AE. could be anything from a bad graphics card driver to some security stuff causing crashes. Provide exact details about your system hardware  and settings e.g. for screen resolution.

  • Adobe after effects cs5.5 mac

    I want to get adobe after effects cs5.5 for mac, i cant seem to find it anywhere and i dont wanna use cs6 bacause how bad it is on mac?

    You can only buy current versions and that means CS6. Your only chance to get CS5.5 would be a used license from someone else, but even then you would have to do a proper Transfer of Adobe product license.

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content only installed on one of two computers

    Hello,
    I installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 MC on two systems. One system lists "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in Add/Remove Programs. This left me a bit baffled as to what this content is and why it only installed on one machine (i.e., assuming I did not erroneously selected or deselected it during the default install). I thought it would be reasonable to install the missing content on the second machine but I cannot find an installer listing "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in the CS4 default or custom installer.
    Could someone please tell me what this content is used for and how I can install it on the second machine?
    Thank you...

    > It should by no means be shown separately in the install database
    That's not true for one case.
    If you install After Effects in trial mode, the third party content won't be installed. But it leaves the third party content installer on your machine so that when you add a serial number the plug-ins can be added. This causes a new installer to run, so it will be registered (and need to be uninstalled) separately from the main installer.
    Frederick- Verify that both machines have the third party plug-ins that Mylenium listed. If it's not on the second machine you probably have it in trial mode and need to serialize. (If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects from the Master Collection package.)

  • Adobe After Effects (CS2) Question. Please Help!!!

    Hi All,
    I use Adobe After Effects CS2 and I am currently trying to make a still 2D Photoshop CS2 Image, into a 3D Short Movie (7 Seconds or so) on After Effects. However, when I import my Photoshop Image into After Effects, it only has a time duration of 2 Frames (0.2 Seconds I think?). I need this duration of time for the picture increased (as it is a still picture movie) but I'm not sure how to do it after fiddling around with my After Effects for about 2 - 3 Hours. I need to be able to put the time duration of my picture so it is able to be showing up on screen for about 15 Seconds. Also, how to you add 3D Text onto an After Effects picture? (In the movie). I really need help with this as I want this After Effects Film to be completed ASAP!!!
    Any help would be highly appreciated!
    Regards,
    TheAAPlus

  • How to make a blimp in Adobe After Effects?

    I'm making a video with a blimp in it soon, is it possible to make a blimp in Adobe After Effects? If you can't could you please name some free softwares that could make a blimp? Thanks so much if you can (A Moving Blimp Shown from bottom)

    This completely depends on your shot. You could simply cut out a shot of a blimp using Photoshop and animate that moving across the screen, or you could do camera projection in a 3D app and model a 3D blimp. Blender is a very powerful open source (free) 3D program that I use all the time. It will take you a couple of weeks to learn enough to set up the kind of a scene I just described.
    It sounds like you're just starting out so I'd go for the first solution. Find the shot of the blimp first, then, based on the angle of the shot, shoot the shot you want to use as the background plate.
    Blimp, cut out in Photoshop, layered with background plate =
    Notice how the light is coming fromthe same direction and has about the same quality.

  • Adobe After Effects Issues

    Hello I represent the graphic artists of the multimedia department at the USPTA (United States Professional Tennis Association). We do a show that airs on the Tennis Channel called, "On Court with USPTA" and "Sweet Spots".
    We have just made the switch over to HD and are working on PCs (Dell Precision T3400 Work stations) I am running Adobe After Effects CS3 and I am running into several issues and problems with the software. I am doing full screen HD graphics, Lower thirds in HD, and even HD video overlayed with Graphics. Some or most have motion, and I even do 3D text in some. I am running into problems of the software crashing, locking up or bogging down reletivly quickly. I can barely RAM preview anything longer then 3 seconds and if it has audio you can just forget the RAM preview. I was wondering if those of us who do graphics on PCs if their is a way to speed up the software, or an update or even something in the prefences that could speed up it up and stop all the crash's I am getting.

    >and I have tried the multiprocessing and nothing changed.
    MP won't do anything on such a system. Simply not enough RAM. Let truth be told, the only real environment that is suitable for MP as AE employs it, are 64bit operating systems (XP64, Vista 64).
    As for your other issues - RAM previews can be extended by lowering the comp resolution to Half or Quarter. It's in the nature of the beast - only the frames that fit into RAM can be previewed and the larger the frame, the less of them fit. There is no way to circumvent that. Your only alternative is to enable the disk cache and have AE store rendered frames on your harddrive. this may allow you to use spacebar playback for some segments rather than having to build RAM previews again and again, but it hinges somewhat on the project structure and how working on other segments of the graphics may invalidate cached frames and layers.
    Likewise, audio will consume additional memory and further reduce the available duration. It should however not completely screw this functionality, so I can only assume you have a config problem. Therefore check your system's audio settings and the prefs in AE. Ideally, the sample rates and things should match the audio format used in your project and all fancies such as Virtual Surround or acoustic effects be turned off to prevent delay. It also helps to work with uncompressed audio - even though AE has gotten better at handling MP3 et al, it still prefers PCM audio.
    Lastly, some similar things do apply to certain compressed video formats - if they use MPEG and its derivatives, AE may need to conform it prior to use and this may cause further hiccups. Using different capture methods and CoDecs may help to prevent that.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 / Adobe After Effects CS5

    Hello,
    I am working on a file using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. I want to make the title in the file shatter like glass. I believe you would do that using Adobe After Effects CS5, but I am unaware of how I would go about it. Do I need to open up the whole file in After Effects, or would I open it up in Premiere and export it to After Effects. Once I have accomplished that step what is the easiest way of making the effect of the title shattering like glass?
    Thank you,
    Mark

    Your memory is ill configured, since you are using it in dual channel mode instead of triple channel mode and 8 MB is about bare minimum. You would be better off if you were to increase memory to 24 GB. Secondly, your disk configuration is the absolute minimum requirement, so adding a couple of disks will help performance as well.
    I am not even using heavy footage. It is footage off of a Canon 5D Mark II h.264
    Mistake. It is one of the most demanding codecs on the market. Look here: Adobe Forums: System requirements for CS5
    You could try the PPBM5 Benchmark to see how well your setup performs.

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Forums. As Mylenium has already mentioned that the issue could be with the permissions, you may try to run the program as an administrator and check if it opens up.
