After effects: creating a stereo 3D rig.

Hey guys,
Im trying to put together two pieces of footage that i have shot with a stereo rig. I have imported my footage into after effects, I then create a new layer. After this i go to Layer -> Camera -> Create Stereo 3D rig.
Every time i press this i get the following error;
"After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {unexpected match name searched for in group} (29 :: 0)"
does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
also once the error appears and i press "ok" it simply pops back up and I need to force quit the program in order to get rid of it!
I am running the latest version of Adobe After Effects CC, on a mac pro.

See this:
3d camera rig error 29::0, how do I resolve this?

After Effects Creates Lag in Video

Hi,
I am new to this forum and adobe after effects and im hoping you guys could help me out.
I created a couple of videos but after renduring them they lag unbelievably and in the preview as well. The videos are fine before i edit them im guessing the effects are screwing it up. What should i do? My computer is not very good its a dell latitude d620 laptop 3.25 gigs of ram (idk why its wierd) geoforce 7300 video card 2.16 ghz proccessor. My mom lost my camera so im taking it on a crap 3.2 megapixel camera from like the 80s but it doesnt lag before i edit it
so do i need a new computer? new camera? change some settings?
please help thank you.

To what specifications are you rendering? The videos from the camera are definitely compressed, so naturally, due to their low data rates they will playback reasonably smooth. Of course that can never be the same, if you render out uncompressed from AE. Even much more powerful computers cannot sustain high data rates of uncompressed media - they fill up the memory until a certain point and it runs smoothly, but after that, it gets choppy because large blocks of data need to be constantly unloaded and new ones loaded again. Only compressing your output will change that, so tell us what you require and what version of AE you use and we may be able to advise.

Create flip book in After Effects

Hello,
I'm completely new to After Effects. So I wonder if it is a easy way to create like a book/magazine in which you can flip through the spreads and add links. And then save it in a format that can be published online. Anyone know?

As Mylenium says, you will have to do this in something else. After Effects creates video only. No interactivity. Now, you can use AE to make assets to be used elsewhere - I do that all the time - but you can't create links or other interactivity in AE.

Having trouble exporting file from After Effects CS5.5

I am trying to add some titles to a Multi Camera mix I have finished. I have exported my multi cam that I created in Premiere Pro as an MPEG.
So hears what I have done:
- open After effects
- create new composition (HD 1080x1440- length 2:16 (so clip fits)
- I place my clip in the time line the type some text.
- in the effects bar I click the roll up and select "Browse Presets" which opens adobe bridge
- I apply my effects and they play back in elements fine...
When I try to export my clip as a Premiere Pro Project it doesnt keep my animated txt when I open it. Says it does not support the presets. his
Con someone please help me export this project? Getting very frustrating. I need it as a High Res HD file

Create the titles in After Effects without the MPEG. (Or if you must use it as a reference, go ahead and do so, and then when you're done creating the title, delete the MPEG.)
Then go back to PP and select File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition... Navigate to the AE project that has the title, and bring in that composition. It will appear in your bin as a clip. Then you add it to the sequence and export the completed video with titles.

How do I add an after effects files to a website

Hey guy's,
I'm working on a website, and I've created a really cool after effects file to put on my website.
But how do I host it on my site, please?
Do I have to make it a different format of file, then upload it like all my other files. Also how can I reduce the amount of memory it uses, so it doesn't effect my webpage.
Thank you, in advance!
If you want to have a look at the site it's here - http://www.prime-ticket.com
Note: The site's still under mass construction.

After Effects creates Videos therefore you need to render a video and post the video on some kind of streaming server like Vimeo or YouTube. There are presets in the Adobe media encoder for both of these hosting services that work great.
If you do not know anything about rendering video then please search rendering in the aftereffects search help field at the top right corner of the app.

Can't download Adobe Premiere and After Effects

I just bought a 1 year deal for the Creative Cloud. As far as I understand, all the software from Adobe would be available in the Creative Cloud. But when I try to downlad for instance Adobe premiere, this program don't show up in the Adobe Application Manager. What is wrong? The "onlye programs that shows up is Photoshop, InDesign, Flash Pro, Illustrator, Fireworks, Muse, Dreamweaver, Audition, Prelude, Lightromm, Flash Builder, Edge Acrobat X and Touch App Plugins. Anyone knowing what might be wrong?

Win7 pro and, unfortunately, 32 bit... Guess I should consider an investment then...
Thanks for the info.
Kind regards,

After Effects Puppet Tool "Warping Upon Rotation"problem

Hi Everyone,
I am having a big issue with my newly puppeted after-effects character. I have rigged up a character I made originally in illustrator. I placed puppet pins, expressed to null objects I use as controllers, then parented to each other. I have done this many times before, with no problem. However, this time, when I rotated the "Parent" Null, the child nulls follow as usual, but in this case, the object is warped through the rotation (attached pictures below). I have been using the "Puppettools 3" Plug-in, and when the bug showed up using that, I tried using this expression (upon the pins themselves):
A=thisComp.layer("NULL_OBJECT");
fromWorld(A.toWorld(A.anchorPoint));
which accomplishes the same thing, just through a longer, manual process. In both cases, the object warps. Before expressing to nulls, the rotation works fine. Anyone know why it would be behaving like this? Perhaps there is something I overlooked in the process? Not sure. Any help appreciated. Thanks
First image: starting point.
Second image: rotation only on the "Parent" null and pin. no other pins moved, it simply warps to that form without my action.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for this detailed and exemplified response, everything you are saying makes sense, and the examples seem to be exactly what I am dealing with. I tested out this troubleshooting option, but unfortunately, my mesh is still not working. I tried different values of triangles - 200, 350, 370, 600, 900, and even 1500 (the max), and it still warps. My best number was 1024, but that also seems ridiculously high. Could it be because my pin placements are not linear enough? Or there are too many in such a small area? My triangles don't seem to distribute as well as yours. Here are pictures of my mesh:

Bringing Premiere Pro project into After Effects

I tried importing Premiere Pro projects to After Effects, but I only got the various files, not the timeline. I just watched a tutorial about Dynamic Link, but when I clicked Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effects composition in Premiere, I got a layer that was all black, with no sound. I have CS3 Production Premium and Windows XP Media Center SP2.
Right now, I just want to keep what I edited in Premiere, but I get better quality video if I export it to H.264 MOV in After Effects than anything I've found in Premiere. I can't understand why that's so, but until I find something just as good in Premiere, I want to save everything in After Effects.

Create a project and a comp. Copy the timeline from Premiere Pro and paste it into the timeline of After Effects.

Some problems with HD movie processing in After Effects

Hello all!
Composing a movie, I needed a bit sophisticated for Premiere Pro colour correction (details are posted in the Premiere forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3064888#3064888)
In a couple of words, I wanted to do multiple layers colour correction so as to match look of some clips shooted in different conditions.
I had no problem with creating several layers and masking them as I wanted. However, what killed me, AE blured HD movie, so I had to cease experimenting.
I wonder if someone else has encountered the same issue?

shooternz, Todd, Mylenium, thanks a lot for your willingness to help!
So that our conversation would be more efficient and effective I rather provide footages themselves instead of mere screenshots.
Here is the original source: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b2h9564/n/00030.MTS As we can see, it’s quality is far from being perfect.
So as to stabilise video, I applied proDAD Mercalli plug-in. The outcome is still acceptable: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b2h83d8/n/00030_Stabilised_.mp4
The next manipulations with multiple layers colour correction were done in AE.
First method was using Adobe dynamic links from Pr Pro to AE. After Effects created composition automatically, recognising all the necessary settings. The second one was creating new AE project, importing the source and dragging it into ‘Create a new composition’ icon – all the necessary composition settings were also created automatically.
Therefore, in first case I didn’t do a finger touch over rendering settings – all changes done in AE were automatically transferred into Pr Pro.
In second case I used ‘Best settings’ in ‘Render Settings’, ‘H.264’ in ‘Output module’ and 16 Mbps bitrate in ‘Format Options’.
Here is the result: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b2h86ch/n/Idyll._00030.mp4 (In fist case I assessed the result after exporting the footage from Pr Pro into MP4 file)
Effects applied in AE while doing colour correction: ‘Auto Levels’ and ‘Curves’.
Please, tell me if some other details are missed.

Stereo Rig Broken in After Effects CS6?

I set up a 3d comp scene (not even using the new Raytracer mode) in CS6, right click on the camera, choose Create 3D Stereo Rig, and the resulting left eye and right eye comps work, but the Stereo Comp is just empty. I went back to CS5.5 and it works perfectly.

I'm surprised, as this should work just fine. Can you give me any more details of what you were rendering? Can you check each of the 4 comps and make sure they are all set to the same renderer selected. If this doesn't work, can I send you email? I'd like to get the project file from you to see what is going on.

How do I create an after effects file with an interchangeable image

Hey,
hope someone can help me, I'm using after effects to create a mp4 file, it contains a photo which has a animation super imposed ontop of it.
When the projects finished the base photo that the animation is created around could change up three times a day.
What I'm trying to work out is a way for a non technical user to just be able to upload the new photo to somewhere and for the animation to be created and returned somehow to him so that the animator doesn't have to re open and edit the affect effect project each time a new photo comes in.
Is there a way to do this built into after effects does any one know?
Thanks for any help

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

Creating and Selecting a line in After Effects CC?

OK, So I suppose this is a two part question...
But there is a little thing in After Effects CC that is annopying me alot, and it could just be me, and the way I've been doing things...
1) The way I have creating a simple Line in After effects, is by using the pen tool, placing two points, and then just using a stroke on the Shape Layer, and no fill. Is this the most efficient way to creating a line in After Effects? It's what i have always done, and it's not until CC that it has been a pain.
2) The reason why it's inconveniencing me is when i try to select that Shape Layer in the Comp Viewer! For some reason, in CS6, when i wanted to select that line, i could just click on it, and it selects the layer, Now, when i click on the line i just made, nothing happens, no where in the line that i can click or highlight will it select the layer of that line, Instead, I have to click the very center of the composition for some reason. there is small unseen point there that i either have to click exactly, or click and drag in that area, in order to select the layer, which gets annoying if there are many line at any given moment. This point is also where the anchor point for the layer is placed.... Is there any way to change this? To be able to change some setting so that when i click on the line itself, it selects it, and to have the Anchor point be placed in the center of the two point i make?

But I do this kind of thing all the time. The last 5 projects involved 8 stroked horizontal and vertical shape layers drawn with the path tool that I had to move around the screen. I also had a bunch of little shapes that were only 5 X 5 pixels. These layers are nearly impossible to grab in the comp window at even 200% zoom factor without inadvertently grabbing the wrong layer or scaling the layer when you try to move it in the comp window.
It is like trying to drive a screw with a hammer. It will kind of work but you will do a much better job if you use a screwdriver and the screw will remain undamaged. Hence, selecting small assets in the timeline and moving them around with the transform properties from the timeline is using a screwdriver. Using the direct selection tool is just the wrong tool for this and it always has been. You have to have some real estate to grab on to if you expect to move a layer without scaling it.
You can mitigate the scaling problem for small layers by adding a simple expression to scale so the layer always stays at 100% but this will just automatically fix the scale problem and won't help moving the layer around in the comp window very much.

"Unable to create font" error when starting After Effects CS4 (Windows Vista)

Hi all
I have read a hundred posts about the "unable to create font" message that appears when running After Effects in both CS4 and CS5 versions.
On MAC, it seems that installing the Verdana fonts family is enough.
On my PC running Windows Vista, i tried unsuccessfully :
- uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects
- installed all the fonts of the Adobe Font Folio v11
- looked for the "AdobeFnt.lst" to delete it, found no such file in my whole hard drive
- changed my system language to English (USA)
Other CS4 softwares work.
What can i do?

See this page for some additional information about this error.
> I forgot to mention that i also installed the 9.0.2 update. Didn't work either!
You should also install the After Effects CS4 (9.0.3) update.
