After Effects 50 fps footage

Hello,
So I am SUPER new to anything After Effects but I am getting the hang of it, so if I don't know what your talking about just bare with me. Alright, so I shot some footage the other day on a Canon d3500 DSLR. I did not know that they shot on a higher frame rate, 50 fps. Now I am After Effects and I added some VFX to one clip and I am trying to render it out but everything I use either gives me the "Mismatched Settings" triangle/exclamation symbol at the bottom, no video and just the audio, or the video is slo-mo and the audio doesn't sync up because it's going normal speed. So what's the deal, what am I doing wrong. I checked all the settings and everything appears to be correct (again I have no clue what I am changing, I've been reading a lot about this in the last 24hrs but that's about it). All the settings say 50 fps and I assume that's what I want is for the settings to match my camera that I shot it on? Any way, any help would be greatly appreciated. I will add the details of my movie file in here just in case that helps. Cheers!
Video

Here are both of the settings you asked for. I will take a look at that link you sent, thank you. Let me know if you see something I could change to make it render.

After Effects Comp fps settings

Hi,
I have shot some 240 fps footage and When I import it ot After Effects, I have notices that the fastest the Comp can use is 99 fps which makes the footage render our at 2.5 times slower than realtime.
Is there a solution to this as I would like some o fthe footage ot be real time and then some at slow speed.
Are there any plans for future releases to allow users to increase the fps settings of the Comp from the max of 99 fps?
It would make editing much easier.

Some food for thought:
http://myleniumblog.com/2013/01/20/decapitated-cap/
Based on that, you will realize that "realtime" is a rather relative term. Even if AE was able to play each discrete frame exactly timed, your computer screen might still be set at 60 fps or something like that and you never would see certain frames. Therefore you can pretty much achieve what you want just using a 60 fps comp or similar. The only caveat is that in order to determine the sampling interval you will have to re-interpret your footage similarly so AE actually shows you each frame and then use time-remapping/ stretching with equal multiples to get it back to full "240 fps". Or in simpler words: Interpret your footage as 60fps, set your comp to 60fps and do a little math in your head for the time-remapping stuff. And since obviously this might get tiresome after a while, file a feature request:

Animating in After Effects with video footage

When animating in After Effects, instead of using a solid background, can I use a video as the background and have it playing while the character is moving? I can't see why it wouldn't work. I've saw people question about animating in Flash ect and bringing it in, but I need to animate within AF. Hope someone can help me out!

Hi Claudia.
Are you using "AF" to stand for "Adobe Flash" Or "AFter effects"?
If you are trying to composite character animation over a background in After Effects, yes, it is a fantastic application for it.
You can create many types of backdrops easily (and very easy to modify elements back/forth from Photoshop)
As for character animation, there are multiple standard tools within After Effects. There are also third party plugins that may help you.
One plugin that I like to use for character animation is DUIK. DuDuF R&D » Duik – DuDuF IK Tools
(free)
Another plugin that is excellent is Mettle Freeform http://www.mettle.com/tutorials-digieffects-freeform-freeform-v2/

After Effects "Import", "Replace footage" and similar commands not working

From today my "Import" and "Replace footage" commands are no longer working properly. I can perform one of these commands once and then they no longer work until I restart AE. Both the menu items and the contextual menu in the project window behave the same. It is hugely frustrating.
I started having the problem after opening a project from a colleague who has been experiencing the same thing.
I am working on a mid 2014 Macbook Pro with 16GB of RAM with Os X Yosemite 10.10.2. My AE is on CC 2014 and is fully up to date.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem with exact the same setup. Also in Photoshop i can`t open files.
I also reinstalled everything and i get the same problems again.

After Effects CC GoPro Footage In Point / Out Point Problem

On the left you have the imported video made by GoPro hero 3, imported intto AF cs6. On the right.. The same Video imported to AF CC latest version.
For some reason. AF CC screws up the timecode of the video and i cannot figure out why. Moreover... when exporting Camera tracker from GoPro video to Cinema4d... the camera is not working.
Any help would be welcome.
Kind Regards
Ivan

when exporting Camera tracker from GoPro video to Cinema4d... the camera is not working.
That would require to see the shot, but based on the thumbnail it's pretty obvious that the shot may not at all be suitable for 3D tracking and solving to a logical 3D camera. I don't see a timecode issue, either. Depending on how those cameras actually store it and maintain their counter, it seems perfectly logical. CS6 may just not have fully supported the source timecode and thus reverted to its default behavior defining the beginning as zero.

Re-linking After Effects assets inside Premiere

I have a premiere project that has a dynamically linked After Effects project. I wanted to rename the folder that all my footage resides in. When I do that I relink all my footage / After Effects files when I open the project. That all works great. However, the After Effects project itself is referencing the footage in the old location resulting in bars and tones showing up. How do I tell After Effects where the footage is now?
If I open up the After Effects project and double click on one of the missing assets to relink it, it trys to browse my hard drive looking for what I named the sub-clip inside Premiere. I need it to reference a clip inside Premiere.

That does work: you don't need to reference a clip inside PrPro, 'cos a clip inside PrPro is just the link to a footage on your hard drive. When you replace a clip or a group of clips in PrPro timeline with dynamically linked comp, AE creates a new composition and imports those clip(s) into the project. But then again, those clips are just links to original footages on your hard drive with properly set In and Out points in the newly created composition. Hence, select a missing clip in AE Project panel, right-click and choose Replace Footage -> File..., locate the original footage on your hard drive and open it up. If all missing footages are in the same folder, AE will automatically find the rest.

Fire effect in after effects

alright i saw this video and im not sure how to do this i was trying and i can't really get close this is all in after effects no stock footage or anything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqXrSiQxuSE

The fire effect that I created in the example was
A 32 Bit Project
A solid with Fractal Noise pre-composed
The pre-Comp with Colorama and turbulent displace
Another nested comp with Fractal noise used as a displacement map
A duplicate of the nested comp with blur and Colorama
The footage of a very small flame with a huge blur overlaid using the add mode to give flickering color values to the fire
A little more blur and Colorama, hue/saturation, Tri-Tone and probably some other color effects on other layers
Pre-composed all of the above and then duplicated the footage layer, but the fire pre-comp in between the copies.
Roto the boy walking in on the top copy of the footage layers
Some light wrap generated with the alpha from the roto, some blur and some more layers.
Manipulation of opacity blurs and color.
A bunch of other masks and color effects on duplicates of the fire, the footage and the light wrap layers to complete the effect.
I don't have the file in front of me but this is a fairly good representation of the 12 step and probably 15 or 20 layer comp it took to pull off the final fire effect. The shot as you see it was then further color graded to enhance the believability of the shot. As Mylenium said fire is not a single click magic button effect even if you pay for a plug-in that specifically was designed to create fire.
To tell you the truth, even compositing footage of real fire in a scene is a lot more than just a couple of layers and a matte. I've also done that on several projects and it always involved 8 or 10 layers to make it look 'real' to my standard of production.

720x480 DV FCP Quicktime aspect shift in After Effects

It's probably something simple, but I've not yet managed to figure it out.
When I export a 720x480 DV/DVCpro NTSC quicktime movie from FCP 4.5 using either the export quicktime movie and export quicktime conversion commands and then import that file into After Effects 6.5 Professional and place it in a 720x480 DV NTSC composition, the video bleeds off the edge of the composition's viewer window on both the left and right sides. I am able to resize the video manually by changing the scale to 99 percent horizontally and leaving it at 100 percent vertically, but there is a noticable loss in quality, especially when I take the effected clip back into FCP. I can open the same exported clip in FCP without any aspect ratio problems or degredation of quality.
I don't ever remember having this problem before and I can't say for sure exactly when it started (maybe a month ago or so). I've tried everything that comes to mind including different combinations of pixel aspect ratios, frame sizes, etc., but haven't had any luck. Besides, it's a simple DV NTSC to DV NTSC. This shouldn't be happening!
I'm currently running the 6.5.0.97 build of AE and FCP 4.5 on OSX 10.3.9 with QuickTime 7.1.2 installed. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

After Effects AND/OR Premiere Pro CS5 ?

Hi guys,
I am quite new, I have only done one videoproject and that was in Premiere Pro CS4. Now I got a new machine and have both Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects. I have started learning AE from some videos and it is quite impressing what you can do there. So I hope I can use AE to improve my videos.
My question is, shall I do the project in PPCS5 and then connect to AE for making special effects on clips or shall I do the whole project in After Effects ?
If I choose AE for the project, will I miss some functions from Premiere Pro?
Many thanks in advance !
Sven

Thank you guys!
You put me on track, expecially with the link!
From beginning I am just taking care of old videos that noone look at because not edited so most of the time just crap.
I want to edit them, try to improve color and sharpness but also add some funny elements so they are more interesting to watch.
I have 30 videos from my daughter, each 1 hour and 8 of my own (really crap) and 8 VHS from a friend. That is just to start with.
Start Adobe Premiere Pro from within After Effects and capture footage for use in After Effects. (See Use Adobe Premiere Pro for capture (Production Premium and Master Collection only).)
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with After Effects compositions in Adobe Premiere Pro without first rendering them. A dynamically linked composition appears as a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with Adobe Premiere Pro sequences in After Effects without first rendering them. A dynamically linked sequence appears as a footage item in After Effects.
Start After Effects from within Premiere Pro and create a new composition with settings that match the settings of your Premiere Pro project.
Select a set of clips in Adobe Premiere Pro and convert them to a composition in After Effects. "
So with a testvideo I will start using these 5 different methods so I learn when to use which one!
And I also have 4-5 videolessons to watch.
Thanks again!
I probably be back soon with more questions!

After Effects CS6 - mp4 file error

Initially I struggled to get After Effects to import footage that was shot with a Sony F3 (mp4 codec)
I got it right eventually, don’t know how but it worked fine for more than a month.
This afternoon however it just refused to work and I get the standard error saying the file is damaged or unsupported.
I checked the forum but can’t seem to find a solution the problem. A couple of people suggested that the footage be converted to another format.
So I have 2 questions:
1. Is this a bug in CS6?
2. What other format can I convert the footage to without losing any quality that will play in After Effects.
Regards
IvanRisingStar

The files only open in VLC Media Player.
Neither Quicktime nor Windows Media Player want to play the file (.mp4 - Sony F3)
I don't know what changed since but it's very frustrating.
I have found a workaround though. I re-encode it using Adobe Media Encoder. I just have to go back into the Premiere project and replace the recoded files with the old .mp4 footage.

After Effects CC import "Sequence Footage" frame rate settings in "Import" preferences

Just started using the new AE CC (v12 as Adobe will not refer to it as) I noticed one thing that seems to work differently from CS6 and that is in the preferences for import Sequence footage settings. It doesn't seem to work normally, at least for me. I don't know if this is an issue related to how AE CC works with the cloud but the dfault frame rate for sequence footage importing is 30fps. I am trying to import footage that is natively 23.97 at 24 fps. So like in CS6 I go to Preferences - Import - Sequence Footage - frame per second and change it from 30 to 24 frames per second. Closed the software, opened it back up, checked the settings and saw that they took, it still says 24 frames per second like I told it. But when I import a piece of 23.976 footage, it comes in at 23.976 as opposed to the 24 fps I set it as. Same goes for 30 fps footage, it comes in at 30 fps and not 24. User error is always my first assumption, I'm not proud i just want it to work, am I doing something wrong or just confused? Thanks for any help. p.s. help is not someone responding with, "I don't know" or "I don't have AECC yet". I know somebody is going to!

Hi Tim,
WOW! Thanks for the super-fast reply! As soon as I posted this I realised I should have mentioned that I am importing DPX files. I do import quicktimes as well but know that the footage import does not apply to a single file, only a sequence of files. But I still wonder if I may be either doing something wrong or am just a little confused. I have been using After Effects since CS3 doing compositing for film and I always use DPX sequences. I did a bunch of comparing and back and forth with AE CS6 and AECC while trying to figure this out. I always set my preferences up when I upgrade before I start working and I always set them up the same. I have been using CS6 since last July and it still works the same. What I did is imported five or six different DPX sequences, some were rendered out as 24 fps, some at 30 and some at 23.976. Assuming AE looks at the metadata to decide how to auto interpret, AE CC opened them all at their native frame rates of the just mentioned 24, 30 and 23.976 respectively, even though I told it to import at 24fps in the preferences. I also imported the same files in AE CS6 and they all opened at 24 fps like always. I know I can change the frame rate in the "Interpret footage" option, that is what I have been doing today so that I can work with footage in 24fps but since I have it set in the preferences to import image sequences at 24fps, I am perplexed as to why it does not do so, so I do not have to interpret the footage to my preferred frame rate, as is the case in AE CS6 as well as it was in CS 5.5 and CS 3. Since I was lucky enough to have an Adobe employee chime in Tim, I would be curious to see what you may find if you recreated this scenario. Would it be possible for you or someone at Adobe to set the sequence footage import frame rate to 24 fps in the preferences then try to open a piece of footage that is natively 23.976 fps in both AE CS6 and AE CC? Like I said, I certainly beleive I may be doing something wrong but I would be very curious to see what you find on your side. I would not be suprised if it imported at 24 fps in AE CS6 and 23.976 fps in AE CC.

After Effects and Rotoscoping causes fps loss in info panel

Hello,
I am pretty new to after effects, so please take it easy on me if this is an easily fixed issue or if I am doing something wrong. Here is my whole process.
I have a canon xl2, shooting in 24p with 2:3 selected. I then import the video from the camera to premiere using capture. This was filmed at 16:9.
In PP I open a new project, I use DV - 24p Widescreen 48khz. I have the time code set to auto detect in capture.
I then import the captured video to after effects. I am trying to get better at rotoscope brush, so this is where the problem is.
I import the file, drag the source to the new composition icon, then double click the layer in the composition. I select rotobrush and brush the object.
I then select play, which will go thru and play the file, adjusting the rotobrush. As I view the file, my info panel is up and it begins by showing 23.976 (realtime). The preview panel is showing 23.98 fps.
After a few seconds, the rotoscoping fails and the info panel shows my actual fps vs the file fps. SO in red it shows something like 7.005/23.976 NOT realtime.
I've tried to do some research on this, and I am not sure if everything is set up right. I have read that its best to work on noninterlaced video in AE, i believe it is seperating. In interpret footage it is showing under fields and pulldowns area: lower field first and then it is removing pulldown with WWSSW. Showing a effective framerate of 23.976. Under frame rate area i have selected [conform to frame rate] and 29.97 is in the window. Under pixel aspect i have widescreen 1.21.
I know this is a huge wall of text, but I'd rather swamp you with info then not have enough. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Why the fps drops out so much on the rotoscope? Also note, I am only losing fps after pressing play to have rotoscope find the edges itself.
Thank you for any help on this matter.
further info:
Running window 7 pro - 64 bit, adobe CS5 production premium. At the moment its the trial version - get my copy in the mail tommorrow.
PC is i7 920 oc'd to 3.6, 6 gigs ram, 7200 rpm HD with 64Mb cache, gtx480 with 1500Mb Vram. Using the latest Nvidia drivers.
I believe I am using OpenGL for rendering, but not positive.

Ok, awesome. Thanks a ton for taking the time to explain it to me and make sure that I understand the proper way to reference it.
With all this considered, is there any reason why someone would do the traditional rotoscoping vs using the rotobrush to create a matte?
To me it seems like the roto brush pretty much replaces traditional rotoscoping. If thats the case, wouldn't it almost be considered a new rotoscoping method.
Like in the past, people used to dig holes with shovels and by hand. Excavating holes this way was hard and took alot of time.
Over the years, technology made it possible to use a backhoe to dig holes, making it super easy. Both methods are excavating, one is just using an easier method.
I guess thats where my confusion came in, I guess the way I look at it, due to never having done the traditional rotoscoping method, I just considered it the same thing.
Anyway, I hope I dont look like a giant *** with my posts. Cuz anyone willing to take time outta there day to help someone else in a courteous manner deserves all the praise I can give.
Thanks again.

After Effects Changes my Clips FPS from 29.97 to 25? Help :)

Hey guys,
I am trying to edit a video and when ever i import clips that are 29.97, (check other programs and they state they are also 29.97 fps), after effects changes the 29.97fps clips in 25fps clip, i am clue less as to what to do and is rather
frustration. Please help.
Kind regards,
Eggy

After Effects hasn't changed anything. You just need to tell After Effects how to interpret the footage:

Erratic performance / missing footage with Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC 2014 dynamic links

Hi all,
I briefly touched on this amongst a host of other issues I has having while cutting my last project.
Unfortunately I never heard anything from anyone regarding my issues with the Dynamic Link system.
I had to bite the bullet and export (2-4K RAW) chunks of my last project, out of premiere using a Quicktime animation codec. This added an extra week to the post production process (which I did NOT get paid for).
I'm also a bit frustrated because it pushed the project past the deadline. Though the client was understanding, they were far from thrilled and it reflects poorly on me.
Anyhow. Project complete, on to the next-
This time, I'm using mostly footage shot from an FS700 in AVCHD. I figured maybe the RED footage was somehow too much for the program to handle with my specs, however I am having the same issue as last time.
I'll select a clip, or group of clips, go to replace with after effects composition, and sometimes they all make it, and often times they don't. The clips were shot within a couple minutes of one another and no settings were changed on the camera.
I've noticed sometime's the media will show up in the timeline, but not appear on the monitor (as pictured below). Other times the name of the clip will appear in the comp, but there will be nothing on the timeline OR in the monitor.
Never had this problem in CS6.
Adobe or anybody, please help! This is absolutely killing my workflow, and costing me time and money.
Here are my specs:
I'm running Adobe Premiere CC 2014 v8.1
Freshly installed Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC Desktop
Freshly installed Samsung 1TB SSD running my OS and Adobe CC
Intel Core i7-2600k CPU at 3.4GHz (8CPUs) - Watercooled
16GB Ram (3gb allocated for other programs)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 4GB GDDR5 - 3.40.62 Drivers installed
Pulling media from 2x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM drives, striped at RAID 0
In this case pictured the second two clips in the sequence linked into AE, but the first wont show up in my monitor.

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition
Magic.
