After effects templates

Trying to open an after effects template that I downloaded online and I can't figure out how to open it in after effects cc?

Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like you have a whole lot of AE experience. 
I'm also here to tell you that without a good knowledge of the basics, templates aren't going to make your life any easier in AE:  templates typically assume that you have a pretty good general knowledge of AE: text layers, nested comps (and lots of 'em), how to tweak an expression, how to replace footage... you get the idea.
Before you jump into the deep end of the pool with lead weights on your feet, I strongly recommend a good deal of quality time here:

Just like the won't let you drive until you pass driver's ed, you won't get AE work done without knowing the basics.
But to answer your question directly:  unzip the template.  Then open it.

  • Working with after effects templates?

    Hello
    Im trying to use a motion vfx, after effects template. Is it possible using dynamic link to bring individual clips from perm pro and drop them directly into after effects?
    Any ideas would be helpful.
    I want to avoid exporting individual clips and then re import them into AF.
    Thanks
    Philip

    When you "replace with AE Comp" it should take you to Ae ... you do your work there including choosing any template or effect ... then save within Ae. That automatically updates the clip back in PrPro to what you've just done. Exit Ae, go back into PrPro, keep working. Don't think I left out anything.
    The first time I tried this I made it FAR more complicated than it is ... and it wouldn't work. Came on here, was told ... you over-complicated it noob, just ... do this, nothing else. I said thank you kind sir and ... voila ... it worked pretty dang slick. Now, I don't go to Ae often, so I'm still a TOTAL noob when working "over there" ... but getting there & back again is easy. Wish is was easy over there ... ah well ...

  • Using adobe after effects templates in fcpx

    Is it possible to use an adobe after effects template in motion 5 or fcpx? If so how do I go about doing this? I am fairly new to this and i found a template that i would really like to use for a football highlight video that i am putting together. Thank you ahead of time for any help that yall can give me.

    On more research, I discovered the following link showing a workflow to go between FCP X and After Effects.  Please disregard my first post.  Adobe After Effects is currently in 64 bit, but their site says it is compatible with Mac OS 10.5.8 and 10.6. Not sure if Lion would therefore be included.  Sorry for the wrong info.

  • What After Effects template is this and how can i get it?

    Hi
    Please see the enclosed YouTube video for the template i am looking for, i understand its After Effects, however i cant find it, i really need to use this though.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYIy05lpsBA&noredirect=1
    A download link or if someone can send me it would be very heflpful.
    Many Thanks
    Ashley

    There's nothing there but some vector artwork, trapcode, fractal noise, illustrator artwork, bad typography (editorial comment), some blend modes and a little animation. I doubt it was a template. It's not very modern.
    If you want to really some interesting work try looking on Behance. You might even find some free downloads. It's one of my favorite parts of the CC experience. I especially like this for pure graphics and it's from a new AE user.

  • Is there a way to force GPU acceleration when using After Effects template project?

    I am using the template feature in after effects to create most of my text in a timeline, for about five minutes of text I am sitting on a half hour render. There are two Quadro K4000 GPUs that are spiking at around 8%. Does any one know of a way to force premiere to utilize the GPUs more fully?

    If the After Effects comp is in the timeline, Premiere Pro does the render. At least that's what I'm seeing. Even if the comp is first rendered in After Effects, putting it in the Pr timeline gives the red line. I don't know why you are seeing such long render times just for text -- seems odd. I tried it for a five-minute text comp on Win 7 and it took about 15 seconds, and only used the CPU.
    I remembered seeing a way to tweak the nvidia card to use it more efficiently. Never tried it but here is the link in case you want to explore. The Quadro K4000 is on the list there. Let us know if it helps at all.

  • Good website  for After Effects templates and stock footage in UK?

    Hello all,
    Can anyone recommend a good websites for downloading AE templates and stock footage in the UK please. I see plenty of gt American companies/ websites  but I  am reluctant to use templates and videos that are mastered in 29 frames and not 25 frames (UK).
    Many Thanks
    Joel Watt

    Session timeouts.... I really do think it's the server. AE doesn't care for specific network stuff, it's all just volumes/ drives to the program. To avoid these issues, you would have to shorten the refresh cycles on your server availability broadcasts or the "keep alive" cycles on the connection/ session settings themselves. I'd know how to do it on Win Server, but I have no clue with regards to XServe configuration. Still, certainly some simple console commands and a restart of the server software should be able to take care of the matter.

  • After Effects template to show my Ipad Application I have created for a project?

    I am looking for a template in order to show the application I have created for a project this week.  The template needs to be able to show the hand gestures etc on an iPad in order to better relay how the app works.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated. 
    Thank you for your attention in this regard.

    Yes need to show the hand gestures.  Any suggestions would be perfect.  Thanks Rick.  Just worried with time.  I had my phone stolen so have been trying to resolve that and need to get cracking with this for Friday morning presentation.
    I am going to try show basic hand gestures just to show where on the screen a child would touch. I'll try attach a Youtube video now to show you what I would like to do.  Not too new but have not used it in two years now so very scrappy!!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCRfVDfJUys
    Not the best example but I would like to do something similar. If not I guess screenshots and a "tapping" gesture can help.  Creatively it just needs to explain the App in the best visual way.
    Those twelve suggestions may be very handy.!!

  • Adobe After Effects CC not converting all files from templates

    Hello, I recently purchased Adobe After Effects CC, and i've been using Videoblocks.com for some After Effects templates. I've used them before on a different computer running AE CS6, and they work perfectly fine. However on my computer, it does not convert the files in order to be compatible with the CC Version, like this:
    And when the project is opened, it appears like this:
    As if the files never fully converted over, however some do? Any explanation on how I could fix this from not happening? Would greatly appreciate it.

    Hey Mylenium, I reinstalled Quicktime and the problem still seems to be there. I'm not really certain what other Third-Party CoDec I should install/reinstall. It doesn't seem to retrieve some JPEG and PSD files, which I have Photoshop installed as well, so I don't exactly know what I should do.
    I'm kind of new with the Creative Cloud, so apologies in advance, haha.

  • After Effects unable to render error -1610153464

    I use Adobe CS6. Today, I upgraded to CC. I work on a MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM, and the latest OS X, Mountain Lion. Here's my dilemma.
    Although I own the CS6 Master Collection, I have never used After Effects. So, I am an AE newbie. For years I have mainly used the other apps, PhotoShop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, InDesign, etc.
    I wanted to prepare a presentation for my company. I purchased an After Effects template that I liked. http://videohive.net/item/new-company-presentation/5182042
    When I opened the template I received the following message: "After Effects: this project must be converted from version 9.0 (Windows) and will open as an untitled project. The original file swill be unchanged."
    After quite some time creating and preparing all my samples in a Quicktime movies I was ready to customize the AE template.
    Following the AE template author's instructions I was able to customize the template, editing text, importing my movies. When I added the "Final Comp" to the Render Cue, and then started rendering, I immediately got the following error: "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '/Users/...Final Comp.mov'. An output device module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupt. (-1610153464)"
    I tried rendering the original unedited file. Same error.
    I tried researching solutions.
    I turn off my firewall. "blockage in the communication between After Effects and the Adobe QT32 Server." http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime-errors-with-after-ef fects.html
    I tried removing a third-party Quicktime importer components. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/startup-screen-hangs-premiere-after.html
    I tried exporting the file from AE to Premier Pro. But, got the following message when opening the file in Premier:
    "The preset is used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, then install any third-party components that are required and reopen the project." Note: The author of the AE template said that no external plug-ins were used, that everything was created in AE.
    Also, when opening the file in Premier, a "Load Project" window open listing the following:
    "Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Color Control
    "Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Fill
    "Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Slider Control"
    I attempted to do a render from Premier anyway. But, got the following error: "Could not connect to Adobe After Effects. Please verify that Adobe After Effects and Adobe Dynamic Link components are installed." I checked, They are!
    I finally "bit the bullet" and upgrade to, and installed the Creative Cloud version of After Effects hoping that this may be a solution.
    Today, I installed After Affects CC. This time when I began the render, AE started to render. Then, after a couple seconds of video being generated the same errors reappeared!
    Can anyone offer some guidance as to how I can get this resolved?

    Today, I created a whole new project. Imported an Adobe Illustrator file with five layers. One background layer, the rest were text layers. The entire project is 11 seconds. I made some minor effects to the text in After Effects, position, and opacity. Went to render it, and the same error appeared.
    I have the error log file if it will help.
    Please help.

    If you want to see how laptops (and your Lenovo) run Premiere Pro look and Harm and my PPBM5 test results pages.  Make sure you are comparing only the same version of Premiere because there is a caching difference between them.  Go to the "Version" Tab and select either 5.0.x or 5.5.x.  Do the same thing on "Computer Type" and select Laptop.  Unfortunately we have not yet had anyone submit an Ivy Bridge laptop.  You can also find many other high scoring laptops, and of course you can see how much slower they are than desktops. 
    P.S. the SSD for the boot/OS/Applications does not improve performance, you would be better off adding more memory or upgrading the CPU.  There are a lot of Ivy Bridge Laptops now available

  • Adobe After Effects Multiple instances does not working parallel using Scripting

    Hi all,
    i am uploading after effects template to my site, user came and upload his desired contents.
    i update the template using scripting with user's contents and then render video so user get video with his uploaded text/images etc.
    its working perfectly when i update a single template at a time but when multiple users come at the same time then they need multiple instances of after effects
    so i open multiple instances of after effects by using "-m" with after effects shortcut
    after looking at windows task manager there are both instances but the problem is
    only once instance continue and the second one stop, after completion of first instance the second one still in pause status
    i need 2,3 4 or whatever instances to work parallel without pause/stop
    i am using windows server 2008 R2 with XAMP installed

    Hi Lal XaDa,
    Would you please post your script to help us to troubleshoot?
    In addition, if you can use Windows Powershell, please try these ways:
    If a script needs some speed-up, you might find background jobs helpful, you can use the cmdlet "start-job", for more detailed information, please go through this article:
    Parallel Processing in PowerShell
    You can also use the cmdlet ForEach -Parallel in powershell workflow to handle script in parallel.
    For more detailed information, please check this article:
    about_Foreach-Parallel
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
    Best Regards,

  • After Effects- how to insure

    Once i buy an AFTER EFFECTS TEMPLATE and i hand it over to a designer to work on for my project- how do i insure that he doesn't use it for his own purpose afterwards?ANy suggestions please.

    You can protect InCopy Assignments in InDesign and you can do similar in Framemaker with snippets. Does that count? You can also encrypt and protect content in many CAD programs to prevent the wrong people from changing drawings... Also RenderMan RIB files and MentalRay render files can be locked to a specific license and encrypted. I'm sure if you do a little digging, one could come up with further examples. Just because Adobe has no such thing on offer does not mean that it doesn't exist or could not be used, though there will always be loopholes of course...
