After Effects CS5.5 exporting a 3D object

I have this cube, just like that in the screen  below: the full cube!
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KoMd2lI3ws4/U1lSFl4srfI/AAAAAAAADco/f9pVy493tW0/s1600/SH03.jpg
...but when I export it, I have just a part of it! What's happening?

Another doub: what's the shortcut to drag the anchor point to the midpoint of the edge.
Thanks one more time.

Ok, the custom view: that's why my cube was outside the screen: thks.
There is a mistake in your post: when I input the placement numerically, the anchor point doesn't move. It's the cube's side that moves, and I don't want that. More: to drag the anchor point to the edge's midpoint, users shall pick " pan behind tool" up, click the anchor point, press control, and drag. It moves exactly to the midpoint.
More doubts soon...

  • How to work with Premiere Pro cs5.5 and After Effects cs5 together?

    I have edited my movie in premiere pro cs5.5 and made the rough cut. In premiere, i have edited the video, put in soundtrack and foley. Now, i need to add muzzle flashes & blood splatters in some scenes and final color correction using After Effects cs5.
    When i import the premiere project in AE and make the changes, and then i export it back as premiere project. When i open this prmiere project, it shows vaious kind of errors and no changes are retained that i did in AE. Also, when i import the premiere project (which has 4 different sequences) in AE, all the media that has been imported in the premiere project also opens in AE making it difficult to organize the media.
    How should i work now so that i add vfx and color correction using AE cs5?
    I thought of exporting the video from Premiere pro and then open the video in AE and add vfx to some scenes and color correction to the full video and render it out again. But, this is the first time i am using AE and i am not sure if this is the best way. PLEASE HELP.
    Or, i could import the whole project in AE, add vfx, do color correction AND then export to video from AE. But i think, it will be better if i export the video from Premiere as it has loads of options to choose from while exporting to a movie.
    The dynamic link does not work between Premiere Pro Cs5.5 and After Effects cs5. Even if it does, its not working on my pc.
    All the footage is in HD and i want the final result in best quality HD too. PLEASE Help!

    If you are working between After Effects and Premiere Pro but with versions that are not the same number, you need to just work with movies rendered and exported as intermediate, lossless files.
    Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro of the same version number, and only when they are installed as part of the same suite.

  • What is the best video format for importing into After Effects CS5

    Please look at this video, work in progress.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49_wbdKALQk
    The opening, featuring a ribbon of videos, was created in After Effects, using Digieffects Freeform.
    The  issue is the poor quality of the videos that are featured in the  opening -- compared to the higher quality of videos from the original Premiere  project., which you can see at the end of the clip.
    To create the After Effects project, I exported a series of video clips from Premiere  to mp4.
    Then I imported them into AfterEffects.
    The bottom line, and the purpose of this question, is I am thinking that  MP4 was not the best choice for the Adobe Premiere export.
    What  is the best format to export video from in Premiere Pro CS5 to import  into after effects, or to import into any other editing program,  incuding importing right back into Adobe Premiere, if that is eever  needed.
    AVI?
    MOV
    MP4
    And any other settings that will result with the highest qualiity videos for importing.
    Thanks

    To follow on with Wade's suggestion...
    There are lots of ways to get movies and projects and other things back and forth between After Effects and Premiere Pro. This page outlines them:
    "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects"
    If you must render and export a movie out of one application to bring it into another, there is a very basic piece of video workflow advice that you need to keep in mind (which applies to _all_ video software, not just After Effects and Premiere Pro):
    If you're creating a movie to be used in the next step of a post-production pipeline, you _never_ want to use a format that does lossy compression. You either use no compression or (preferable) lossless compression. Examples of codecs that provide lossless compression are the Animation codec and PNG codec at the highest quality settings; these can be used in a QuickTime container, for example. Never compress a movie with lossy compression except at the very end of your pipeline, when you're creating the final movie for distribution.
    MP4 (MPEG-4) is a lossy codec. The quality loss is acceptable for the last stage in the pipeline, but it's not acceptable for an intermediate file.
    It seems that you would benefit from reading this and and working your way through this.

  • Importing from premiere pro cs5 to after effects cs5

    hi, can anyone help me with this problem?
    im editing some stuff in premiere pro cs5 and when i import it into after effects cs5 for colour correction and other effects all the transitions that i had from premiere will disappear. if someone can guide me step by step to this process it will be very helpful
    Thanks,
    Randolph Azzopardi

    As Mylenium suggests, there are many ways to move information between Premiere Pro and After Effects.They are all outlined on this page: "Working with After Effects and Premiere Pro"
    You didn't specify, but I'll assume as he did that you are exporting a Premiere Pro project from After Effects. That works by converting things from native After Effects to their equivalents in Premiere Pro; sometimes there isn't a good equivalent, so the conversion isn't perfect. The same conversion is done as is done for copying and pasting between After Effects and Premiere Pro. There's a set of tables that describe the conversions here.
    The way to get perfect fidelity is to either use Dynamic Link (as Mylenium suggested) or render and export a movie from After Effects and import that into Premiere Pro.

  • 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.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5

    Hi I'm fairly inexperienced when it comes to Adobe products. I was wondering whether Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5 can be used together, for instance Premiere Pro to do the basic editing and After Effects to do some more advanced stuff before importing the clip back into Premiere Pro for exporting the film.

    Yeah.

  • How compatible is Motion 5 with Adobe After Effects CS5.5?

    If I create a project in Motion 5, am I able to export this project so that it is natively importable into Adobe After Effects CS5.5? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    The two will not read each other's project files.  You could try an XML export, and import that into AE.  Audomatic Duck makes translators for this type of stuff.

  • Adobe Download Assistant communication error(Error 107) only when I download After Effects CS5.5

    I've been trying to download the After Effects CS5.5 Trial for over a month now and it is really frustrating because I don't have a problem downloading any other adobe trial just After Effects CS5.5, it says I have a communication error (Error 107) and I know I really don't because I can download any other trial from Adobe Download Assistant. I reallly need help to try to download this program. I don't know if it is that I'm in another country, my server, or something relevant but i would really aprecite it if you could tell me why this is happening.

  • Sony NEX-5N AVCHD 2.0 1080p50 and Premiere Pro/After Effects CS5.5

    Hi all,
    I have a new Sony NEX-5N and have shot some test 1080p50 video using it.
    On my quest for some new editing/production software to close the loop I have just downloaded and installed a Trial Version of CS5.5 Production Premium.
    I am able to load my video files into Premiere Pro.
    However, when I attempt to open the Video File in After Effects, I recieve the following Error message:
       After Effects error: '00023.MTS' cannot be imported - this '.mts' file is damaged or unsupported.
    I have tried renaming the extension to .MPG, .M4V, .M2TS all with exactly the same result.
    Perhaps this is a limitation of the Trial Version or perhaps a limitation of After Effects CS5.5.  Is anyone able to advise?
    As extra information I include below the TEXT output from MediaInfo for the file I am able to load into Premiere Pro CS5.5 but not After Effects.
    Thanks.

    I just recorded 4 seconds of a clock pendulum swinging, surprisingly the file was 20Mb!?!?  Anyway, I have made the file available for download at the following location:
    http://andrew.net.au/~rowan/avchd/00032.MTS
    You can browse the directory at http://andrew.net.au/~rowan/avchd/ if you need to "right-click" and save as.
    I am hoping it is a limitation of the trial as I have noticed a few other "gotchas" with the trial version.
    Thanks for the advice about video format, I have noticed that my computer (Core 2 Duo) is very slow to process the H.264 stream, PremierePro cannot play the 30sec stream in realtime (starts to stutter around 23sec) and After Effects starts its stutter almost immediately (both just playing the stream with no effects) - that said WindowsMediaPlayer has no problem playing the same stream at full speed.  I am however reluctant to do any transcoding except to a lossless format as it seems counter intuitive - but this will be the subject of another post, as I don't want to clutter this one.
    Thanks again.

  • Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) won't start After Effects CS5.5 because it's a powerpc app!?

    I've had CS 5.5 Master Collection installed on my Mac since it came out. All the CS 5/5.5 apps I've used up to now have worked fine, in 64-bit mode (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro, InDesign). Now I need to use After Effects, but I can't get it to start.
    First it said it couldn't rename a Workspaces.xml file in the preferences directory in my home folder. In fact, there was no such file there at all. Nothing to rename. So, I uninstalled After Effects using its uninstaller; then reinstalled it from the install DVDs.
    Now, it fails on startup saying the After Effects CS5.5 application cannot be run because PowerPC apps are no longer supported. True: OS X no longer runs apps that require Rosetta. CS 5.5 is does not require Rosetta; it's compatible with Lion. The OS 10.7 Known Issues KB article says nothing about After Effects: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html?promoid=JBQYY
    So...what's going on? I need this thing working for a project with a deadline! I don't get it. Anybody seen this before? (I didn't find anything in the discussions about it, nor Google...)

    Interesting article, but I knew I was leaving PowerPC apps behind when I moved to OS 10.7, and Adobe claims that After Effects CS 5.5 is fully compatible with Lion. But you must be right about prefs; there's gotta be something causing the Mac OS to think this version of CS is ancient...
    Since my initial message, I've tried and failed to find any details about how to select the right prefs to delete. I also ran Disk Utility to repair permissions on my system drive. That got rid of the PowerPC error:) Now on startup AE says mediacore fails to initialize. I can choose to quit or continue on that error, but continuing just results in another error that says dynamiclinkmanager unexpectedly quit, and then AE locks up and I have to force quit it. Not much progress!
    No other answers on this so far... Before I uninstall the entire Creative Suite and then delete all Adobe system and hidden files everywhere, any more suggestions? Or a list of the right prefs I should trash?

  • MBP 17" 2,3 GHz - After Effects CS5.5 is not usable - too slow

    Hey!
    I am a motiongraphics artist working mainly with After Effects CS5.5. I am coming from PC and I am quite new to the Mac-World. But for now I am not really satisfied - actually very disappointed. I have worked the last three years on a cheapo Acer Laptop - and I really have to say it was at least (I am not kidding!) twice as fast as my new MBP mid 2011. The other Adobe Apps don't run that good either - though I have to say I haven't had to work with them as much as with AE 5.5.
    To name one thing that is really slow: Ram Preview, in the first place it takes ages per frame to render it, then mostly when it's done with rendering it is not played in realtime (more 1,2 fps ... in this range). So it's really not fun to work with this combination MBP + AE.
    This can't be. The Macbook was 4x as expensive. And was build 3 years later. What's wrong with the Macbook?
    My Specs:
    2,3 GHz MBP mid 2011, 4 GB Ram (going to be 8 GB soon), 750 GB HDD, Hi-Res 17" Matte, OS X 10.6.7
    I already tried running Windows 7 on this Macbook it was so terrible that I was kinda frightend and really just wanted to bring it back to the shop. But maybe there is some way I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Cheers!

    And  I always thought OS X / Apple Hardware was the way to go in the video-business. Obviously I was wrong all along.
    The problem is OSX Lion not the specs of the hardware or CS5.x
    If you can manage to revert the OS back to Snow Leopard ( which also can run 64bit software ), I bet your issues will be fixed.
    And if you want to give Apples own Video-software a shot, then stay away from FinalCut X which has the same "quality" like the Lion..
    Sorry, just saw that you have no Lion, I was redirected here from within Lions forum..

  • Photoshop CS6 PSDs into After Effects CS5.5

    Hi there,
    Our graphics department have recently upgrade Photoshop to CS6 version 13.0 x64. I am trying to open a .psd file they have created in After Effects CS5.5 version 10.5.1.2. However I get the following message:
    'After Effects error: could not open (.psd name) because it is not a valid Photoshop document. ( 51 :: 19 )'
    Is there any way they can save their photoshop files differently so that they will open or do I need to upgrade to After Effects CS6?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    (wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the photoshop forum - thought I would try here first though)

    I've never encountered such an issue, and switch between both versions regularly.  On the machine I'm working on right now I have CS6 Creative Cloud installed, but do most of my AE work in CS5 or 5.5 because the clients I'm working for haven't upgarded yet.  But all my PSD work is done in CS6. 
    Is there anything unusual in the file, ie 3D content?  As Mylenium says, PS 3D has changed and is no longer supported by AE.  Otherwise, are you moving between platforms, ie Windows to Mac?  Does the file have a valid PSD extension?

  • Why does my After Effects CS5.5 keep crashing on me when I switch to other apps?

    I have Adobe After Effects CS5.5 (v.10.5.1) and it keeps crashing when switching between AE and other programs.  Here's a video so you can see what's happening.
    I don't have any special plug-ins loaded except for what came with the program.  OpenGL rendering is turned on and have tried turning it off to see if it make the problem go away and it doesn't make a difference.
