After Effects CS5 Puppet Tool help

Okay, so I have a looping animation where I use the puppet pin tool to move everything.
It stops on the final frame, and I want to create a new composition using the last frame.  (A new composition that starts from the final frame of the current composition)
How would I go about using that?
Thanks in advance!

That depends entirely on the structure of your composition. One option would be to duplicate your current comp then nest your current comp inside the t he duplicate and adjust the timing. Another option would be to duplicate your composition in the project panel then open the duplicate, select all the layers, press the UK twice to reveal all change properties, Then grab the last keyframe in each layer and drag it to the first frame.
Neither of these techniques will work with all projects. For a guaranteed solution we need to know the entire structure of your composition and your workflow.

  • After Effect CS5.5_Pen tool problem: No Handles display, can't creat straight line

    Hi,
    I wonder why in After effects CS5.5, the pen tool doesn't work correctly!
    1. "no handles display", ex: when I click an area whilst holding the mouse and clicking / or hold Alt and clicking the point in order to see the handles.
    2. cannot make "straight line", neither can I make 45 degree coner while holding the shift key clicking.
    I coud use it before, but now it no longer work. I tried "the pen tool" in photoshop cs5.1 it works very well.
    Is there any solution?
    Thanks

    Thanks Rick,
    1. Do you have the View Options setup correctly?
    Yes, I guess. Beacuse everything is checked.
    2.Have you hidden the layer controls?
    No.
    Are you using Roto Bezier?
    No.
    3....If it's not try trashing your prefs.
    How do you trash the prefs?
    I didn't modify any setting in the prefs.
    Btw, what does that title stand for "community professional"? Are you working for Adobe?

  • PLEASE HELP!! Weird screen glitch in After Effects CS5.5?!? (Windows 7)

         I was editing some videos in the trial of After Effects CS5.5, and I went to render something in full screen (I've been using it for two weeks now, and i've rendered in full screen before) and suddenly a bunch of error messages started popping up,and After Effects closed out. Now every time I open After Effects, its like the screen zooms in: I can't see my taskbar or my tools for after effects, or anything on the edges at all. Production Premiere and everything else works fine, but After Effects is always like this now. I've searched all the help centers, and google, and youtube, and I've found nothing. I also tried unistalling and reinstalling the Master Collection trial but it still came up in full screen.
    PLEASE HELP I only have 12 days left on trial and I'm trying to finish one last video.

    Try deleting your preferences. If that doesn't do it, Reboot, Use the Adobe Cleaner Tool, then re-install AE. If that doesn't work let us know. It's probably your preferences.

    I am not surprised by that.  You need more memory on your computer!  You went from a computer with only 3 GB RAM to one with just 2 GB RAM.
    Personally, I would not try to run AE on a computer with anything less than 8 GB RAM, and I would not try to use multiprocessing with it.  I would not try to use multiprocessing unless I had 16 GB RAM.
    After Effects uses a lot of memory.  You are in desperate need of more memory.  Until you get more, you will be unsuccessful when you use it.

  • "Installer Failed To Initialize"? After Effects CS5 Mac, Help!!!

    I'm in serious need of some help here. I downloaded the After Effects CS5 trial, but when I go and try to install it I get an error:
    "Installer Failed To Initialize. Please Download Adobe Support Advisor To Detect The Problem"
    I already tried Adobe Support Advisor, but it didn't detect any problems.
    I tried re-downloading the file again, but still no luck.
    I'm running an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.2, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Hi.  I see this thread is old...last post is july 2010.  However, since I just had a similar issue and since a google search brought me here, i figure id share my info with other who my hit this too...
    i have os x 10.7 and am trying to install cs5.5 master collection.  i kept getting the installer failed to initialize error.
    by looking at the PDApp.log, i saw an error and fixed the issue causing the error...
    my issue was when launching Install.app, it looks for ~/Applications and creates a folder "Adobe" in it.  I had an alias in my home dir and the log showed the installer didnt see it as a valid directory.
    by removing the alias, the installer then created the folder "~/Applications/Adobe" for me.  However, since it created an empty folder named Applications, separate from the actual /Applications dir, this was not acceptible.
    So, if i right click on /Applications and hit "Make alias" and move that to my home dir...same issue.
    But, if i open Terminal.app and type "sudo ln -s /Applications" the seemingly same type of alias or "symbolic link" is created, but instead the installer see the dir as valid, and the install went flawlessly.
    Hope this helps someone.

    Here's the error message(s) that I get after I attempt to use an effect in after effects cs5.5.

    You're probably simply running out of memory to run both programs at the same time and otehr things like compressed audio/ video in the project may complicate matetrs further with hardware acceleration stuff. Not much you can do, most likely beyond the usual advice of making sure all your drivers are up to date...

  • Problems importing iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5 - Audio sync out

    Hi there,
    I am currently experiencing problems trying to import iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5.
    Firstly i'd like to note that the video plays perfectly fine on the iPhone, VLC and in Quicktime Player. The audio and video is in sync.
    When I add the footage to After Effects the video becomes slightly out of sync with the audio. I have noticed this in RAM preview and also in renders I did just to test.
    I also want to note that, both my iPhone and After Effects have latest software updates.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks Rick and Mylenium
    Thanks that worked!
    I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
    Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
    I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
    Its a shame AE doesn't  pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
    I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
    Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
    Cheers

  • After Effects CS5 Trial

    I tried to download the trial of CS5. I had to pause it very quickly because I wanted to delete my version of CS4 quickly (bad move, darned stupidity). And now, I can't un-pause the download on the trial. And I really, really am dieing to try out this rotobrush tool . Anyways, I probably could ask or look on another document on the site, but sorry, I had to ask.
    Thanks all, much help is appreciated.

    Jack, following up here to say if you or other folks are still having difficulties with the Akamai Download Manager, you may find it easier to just use the Adobe CS5 direct download links for After Effects and all other CS5 products...  Still hearing reports of people not being able to get the trial software so hopefully this helps.
    If you need to restore your previous version of After Effects CS4, or still have a Windows XP or a 32-bit system that can't yet use After Effects CS5, you can also redownload the CS4 software if you like.
