After effects help & adobe air
i'm in the after effects cs5 application (creative suite production premium) on a power mac 10.5.8 and when i go to the help pull down and click on after effects help, i get the following error message:
don't even know what abobe air is. i'm assuming the after effects help has to run through this app. is this something i need to install and what does it do? i hate hate running unnecessary programs. thanks.You can use After Effects Help without using the AIR application. You can either use the HTML version of After Effects Help on the Web or the PDF version of After Effects Help.
For information on how to fix this problem with the AIR application, see the Community Help Client forum. -
Please rate the After Effects Help pages you find useful
You may have noticed that Adobe employees and Community Experts hanging in this forum keep pointing users to the relevant sections in After Effects Help on the Web. The reason for this is, of course, that the quality of explanations, visual examples, video tutorials and other materials in those pages is much higher than what anyone could quickly type in a forum reply. Personally, I think AE help has experienced a drastic overhaul in the last few years, to become a great, community-driven, user-focused resource.
if you find these pages helpful, you can in return help the documentation team by stating which pages you find useful by using the buttons at the bottom of each page.You should also leave comments to tell us what other information you'd like to see... or to leave a tip, link, or technique of your own.

Updated After Effects Help, and an update on my role
I just updated After Effects Help, and now I'm in Technical Support:
http://bit.ly/cpX44H
In my new role, my job is to provide "online, one-to-many" technical support for Adobe's professional video products. In other words, I'm supposed to spend even more time helping out on forums like this one.
So, howdy.Szalam wrote:

Booooo: worse AE documentation in the future, for nobody can match his placement of the T in RTFM.
"Read Todd's Freakin' Manual" ?
I like that.
Todd, I hope this is a good move for you and not an analog for Siberia.

Weird distortion in Premiere and After effects CS6 - need urgent help!
Hello,
I've got a serious problem!!! While I was editing a sportsevent I noticed that a lot of shots have some weird distortion. I allready had this problem with other projects. At first I thought it was a problem with my camera (sony EX3).
But today I started digging more into it.
I recorded some test footage and didn't import it into Premiere. Instead I tryed to play it straight from the camera with VLC media player. To my suprise the shot was perfect. Then I opend it with premiere and after effects.
I didn't change anything on the shot and the distortion came back! Then I exported it using media encoder.
I uploaded two clips: 1 rendered with Premiere, and 1 just straight out of the camera.
Even when rendered the distortion is in the shot!
Here is the shot straight out of the camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TNfsltos_s
And here is the shot rendered in Premiere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbctDm2VhWM
I would be very happy if someone can help me out with this! I can't deliver a project to a client with this distortion!Ask in the Premiere forum and provide at least some system info. Looks like decoding issues to me, which would boil down to hardware acceleration issues...

Having Issues with after effects, advice needed
Hi I am having some unusual issues and a general question about after effects.The first question is how to remove all the thumb marks that i keep making ever time move the time line indicator down the time line, it auto creates thumb marks that I don't want.
The second issue and this is a odd one is that i have two files 1) about 3 gb and 2) about 5 gb and the 5 gb I cut in half for the final rendering but i come out with a 168gb avi file???
How did I use about 6gb of footage and render it out to 168gb I'm confused.
I am using the general settings, I used avi because my trail version is not showing any other animation type like QuickTime movie (which is what I really would prefer) I don't understand where is all the extra data is coming from.
This file is so big it pauses for a fraction of a second every 2 seconds of footage when played via a player like window media player.
I would love any help.
ThanksFirst, I very strongly recommend that you start at the beginning and take the time to work through these basic materials to learn After Effects:
http://adobe.ly/bjBT3P
Your questions show a lack of basic terminology, so it's going to be very hard for us to help you until you learn at least enough so that we're using the same language.
Regarding QuickTime: You need to install QuickTime. You can get it from the Apple website.
Regarding large output files, heed Rick's advice and use the FAQ list for this forum, specifically this item:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/684381
Finally, it sounds like you've turned on auto-keyframing. If so, turn it off. -
Can After Effects help out Premiere
Dear,
I'm using Premiere CS3. I'm editing on AspectHD, and I'd like to have my co-editor working on his machine with DV version of the footage.
To have him have exactly what I've got so far, I went this way:
- saved a copy of my project file
- offlined all video clips it copy and kept audio files online (to avoid
having to reconnect them, by having my co-editor have them in the same
drive path and directory as I do so they reconnect automatically)
- I imported CFHD project in a brand new DV project (so that my co-editor
can work in it and have proper specs)
So now I have an offline DV version of my project file with audio online, but when I try to reconnect medias with the DV clips, I need to reconnect them one by one; even more, I need to select them 2 times each before Premiere recognizes and accepts them as the proper media. (that is normal software workflow according to ADOBE support "except for the double selection I have to make")
When I just Make Offline and Reconnect Medias in my project file and keep the HD media, I just need to select and tie one file in each folder that hold clips and Premiere does the rest, but now it won't do it for this particular project.
I talked with ADOBE tech support and the guy told me it was how Premiere works, but couldn't help me out as to if AE could help me help PREMIERE reconnect all my file in batch instead of spending 1-2 days doing so.
Anyone knows if by importing my project file in AE I could batch reconnect medias ?
Thank you.Thank you Howard, didn't know about this.
But, still my co-editor doesn't have the Hard Drive space to have the files copied (1.4GB) and I don't have the money to buy it for him.
So I'd rather find a way to reconnect DV media to replace CFHD ones.
I posted on After Effects forum and it seems the program will respond as Premiere does. What about BRIDGE, is is there a way to reconnect media via it ?
This is like the basis of offline/online editing I can't believe that ADOBE technician haven't included something in the Creative Suite to do this !!? -

After Effects Help | Creating shapes and masks
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/creating-shapes-masks.html
Hi Todd,
I don't think either approach accomplishes what I am trying to do. Just as when using a shape tool on an existing layer to create a mask, none of these approaches lets me alter a shape path after creating it, in terms of number of points, inner/outer radius and inner/outer roundness. Nor can I animate those characteristics.
The Help file creates the impression that you can copy/paste a Shape path from a Shape layer. If that were true, I could create a shape, copy/paste that path to a mask path, keyframe it, go back to the original shape layer, change its propertie and copy/paste that new shape path to the mask path at a different time, thus morphing from one shape to another. I don't see any way to do that.

Edit in Audition from After Effects: I need Help!
I’ve been using CS5 for more than one year and I installed CS5.5 on my PC Windows 7 professional few days ago so now I have both CS5 and CS 5.5 on the same PC. Unfortunately I don't succeed in editing the following audio files in Audition from AE (on the contrary I can do it in Audition from Premiere Pro) because it says ”file not supported by any plug-in currently registered” (see the snapshot attached). The files are: *.m2ts audio 5.1 from videocamera Sony and *.FLV
NB. I can edit these same files (with the guide of the video track too) in Soundbooth from AE CS5 and CS5.5 What can I do? Would you mind giving me some advises please? I apologize for the quality of my English. Thanks in advance. gragabo from ItalyYour file looks to be an MPEG-2 Transport Stream (from the m2ts file extension). This isn't natively supported in Audition CS5.5. You'll want to convert to a different format first.
AE and Audition use different file importers, whereas Soundbooth used the same as Pr and AE.
Format support in Audition should be improved in a future release. -

It's such a minor little detail. I suspected it would be
something this small, as that's usually the case, but I just
couldn't put my finger on it. Not one of the places I researched
made any reference to that when they said to name the instance of

Anyway, thank you again. I can finally move forward. This was
