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

  • After Effects Rendering Problem (Please Help!)

    Hello, I recently purchased adobe after effects CS6 for my Asus i7 laptop running windows 8 OS with a nvidia graphics card. I had just finished my after effects project and I went to render it out. I chose all my settings as H.264 and best settings. I click render and it starts off fast and rendering fine. About half way through the render it stops adruptly but does not signify any error message on the screen. The software shows that it is still trying to render but the render load bar does not move neither does the time lapse (time remaining).
    If you have any idea what the problem may be or how to fix it please post a comment.
    Thank You!

    We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"
    > Renders stopping halfway through has usually nothing to do with the output format, so for the time being let's ignore the theoretical hubub about H.264
    If the format being used is H.264 in a QuickTime container, this can be a problem, since that codec does have problems with the use of many threads, and these problems often occur partway through processing. There is more information about this here.

  • After effects crashing unpredictable, please help if you can?

    Only be happening for a week or so. seems to be related to blurs in adjustment layers. ill be using blurs to spot blur certain anatomy for a tv show. sometimes I track and blur  with mocha sometimes manual track. ill be adjusting a track or a mask and ill get one of several unusual  chrashes/errors. usually, its this: <6896> <BEEp_InitSoundPB> <0> Vid rate ratios min, max: 1, 1. . If I reload the project and delete and rebuild the adjusment layer blurs (Box blur and mosaic) and it will render fine. but this happens enough to be a considerable time waster and is interferring with my work. I've looked up the errors online and tried any suggestions i could find (although it seems this error appears for many differ3ent reasons?). I've deleted media cache, changed cache drives, reinstalled video card drivers deleted preferences, turned off open GL, run diagnostics on my CPU. RAM and GPU, all turned up fine. The only thing I havent tried is uninstalling and reinstalling AFX which i want to leave for a last resort as I have no time! Also, I have CC and CC14 installed (just use cs6 more often because of plugins) and when I load the project into CC and scrub or render I get the same problem, again until I delete and rebuild Adjustment layer. I even collected and moved the project onto a mac laptop and it gets the same error!!

    I apologize if I'm not using the correct terminology, I did in fact teach myself after effects, if that's what you mean. I've been using it for about 14-15 years, but I have found like many of the programs I use, Ill never learn all there is to know, and I would definitely defer to your judgement Dave as I have a great deal of respect for your experience and AE knowledge, having read many of your helpful posts in the past. (thank you, you've helped me before, and did not know it)
    This is the first time I've encountered this particular error. Let me see if I can describe it better. The show I work for often requires me to blur out certain objects or anatomical parts for approval by standards and practices. Usually my workflow is to either manually, or with mocha AE track the offending area with a mask applied to an adjustment layer that has a box blur and a mosiac filter applied to it. The problem arose last week when I went back to a project created the week prior to add more blur to an existing comp. I started to adjust the blur and while scrubbing through timeline after effects crashed, giving me the following error <19665> AE.blitpipe <2> making new context. (or a variation of that, unfortunately, I didn't write down the initial error as  at first I thought it was just an annomoly). When I reloaded the project I kept getting the same crash/error until I removed the adjustment layer and re tracked and blurred. I tried the same comp on a mac laptop and it got the error as well.  I managed to get the render out in time and continued to work in after effects problem free until another blur project arose. this project had 10 shots. I followed my usual workflow and had finished all 10 comps and as going back through to tweak some masks when the error occurred on comp 4. same problem. also it seems as though whenever i reach the same frame range in the timeline is when it crashes, and its not always on the same frame, just in the same general area on the timeline. this happens sometimes during scrubbing, but always during render or RAM preview. I can open the original project where the error occurred and still get the same error in the same area along the timeline. Honestly, Im wondering if I have a corrupted DLL and just need to reinstall after Effects., but the question remains, if that IS the case, why would the same project give me the same errors in each version of after effects I own? (CS6, CC & CC2014) This is why I say corrupted project... not sure what else to call it?
    And Ive gotten a variety of error messages during crash, I've gotten the :<19665> AE.blitpipe <2> making new context as well as <6896> <BEEp_InitSoundPB> <0> Vid rate ratios min, max: 1, 1. and <271636><DynamicLink> <5>  c:/programfiles\adobe\adobe premiere...
    also different faulted modules when I click on details, sometimes ADM.dll sometimes wintab32.dll.. not consistent at all. This doesn't happen evertime I apply a blur layer, its just seemed to occur when time was most precious and I really needed to get renders out! haha, well thats what it feels like anyway. my wor around is now to immediately delete the problem adjustment layer, retrack and blur, but I'm hoping to find an answer for this irritating puzzle. I hate not understanding why this is happening.
    I appreciate the help on this. I will probably reinstall after effects or perhaps even windows once I find the time, but time is hard to come by.

  • Weird problem while installing Adobe After Effects CS 4. Help me!?

    I am trying to install the Adobe Creative Suite 4. Every thing works fine except the installation of After Effects and Illustrator. The problem is that I can't even select (check) the After Effects option from the custom install option of the setup. All the check marks are normal except it. But surprisingly when I see the payloads folder where all the files and setups of the software are, I can see all the files required to install After Effects are normally there. Why isn't the setup installing it then? Or at least why cant I check mark the After Effects installing option from the setup? Has anybody experienced such issue? Screen shot attached.

    I am sorry for not providing the details. I present them below now:
    OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 3
    Processor: Intel Core i3 2nd Gen
    Memory: 4 GB RAM
    Graphics: Intel Integrated HD Graphics
    Thanks for taking time to read my question, now please provide me a solution I will be much grateful to you.

  • How to fix rough edges text in After Effects cs4? Please help.

    How to fix this? rough edges in text.
    in the first, it's not like this but the next i open after effects cs4, it goes like that.

    Hi there mato31,
    Hopefully this will help — if that screenshot is your comp window at 50%, then I would hazard a guess that the resolution quality of your comp window was set down to half or quarter quality (this would be my first guess in this instance, worth a try?). If you look across the bottom of the comp window next to the RGB channels icon, the drop-down menu for the comp window resolution is there. Does yours say perhaps Quarter or Third? Just a guess... Usually one would work at Full, but I usually leave it set to Auto so when a comp is viewed at 50%, it automatically changes the quality to 50% which leaves smooth edges (a comp viewed at 50% zoom factor, with full resolution, looks jagged also).
    Anyway, just a first thought. Let me know if that helps at all?

  • 3d models in after effects, 360 camera. please help!

    Hi,
    I've created a 3D stage and I have put a few 'sound and music' models on the stage.
    When I create a 360 camera around the stage, all the instrument models move off the stage.
    How do I keep the models on the stage so they don't move off when the camera is circling around?
    Would love some help!!

    You simply need to position them properly using the Element 3D group controls. Even multiple instances of the effect will align properly, since they use the same camera, you just need to put everything in the right place. As Rick suggested, it would be best to start by zeroing them out and then moving them based on a common origin/ reference point.

  • Does anyone have a link to a Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial Download, if so, please help

    Hello, and thx for reading
    I'm in need of an Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial, there's no way to download it on the original website, because it has been replaced with CS5, and as much as I would've loved to get that, my computer can only support up to a 32 bit resolution, so I cannot install or use CS4 and CS5, that's when I found out that CS3 comes with a 32 bit resolution
    But now I can't find a download for the Adobe After Effects CS3 Trial, please help

    Why do you think that After Effects CS4 can't run on a 32-bit operating system? It can. After Effects CS5, on the other had, is a 64-bit application.
    There have been many threads in which this question has been asked and answered. Please search the forum before asking a question next time. Here 's one such thread, with all of the information that you need: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2951875
