After effects video automatic time adjustment

With adobe after effects I am currently producing wedding picture videos. If I want to run 6 videos at 10 seconds a piece for the first hour, then on the second hour I want to run 5 videos for 12 seconds a piece. How do I program after effects to automatically adjust?
Thanks

no that is not what i am trying to do.
if i take out a picute or take out a video  is there a way to make after effects fill or adjust the time of the missing picture or video without having to edit the entire Comp?
or is there another adobe program that can do an automatic fill and re calculate the time for missing footage?
example see perivous post.
i guess a simple question > is there a way to auto recaluate time to fill the missing area?

  • Why my previous after effects videos (MP4) cannot be imported as multi-layered composition?

    Hi,
    As I go throught your tutorials, I cannot figure out how to edit previous after effect videos. My imported videos can only be imported as footage. Therefore, I cannot edit them in After effects. How can you help?
    Thank you!
    Berthony

    Start here. Once you render a video it's a video. If you want to do more with the composition then you have to open the After Effects Project file you used to create the composition. It's the same way with any video editing app. You render the video and it's done. If you want to edit the pieces you have to open the program used to create the edit and edit it again.
    Really basic stuff here. You have to go through the baiscs or you will be wasting your time.

  • After effects video menu problem

    Hi
    I have made an after effects video menu for import into a new encore project. I have assigned buttons in AE, have rendered the work out as Mpeg2DVD. How can I now turn this into a fully functioning menu? I cant seem to import the mpeg2 file as a menu.
    What have I missed please?
    Many thanks

    This was CS3, but really same workflow.
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/aftereffects/articles/aftcs3it_dvdmenus_02.html
    Basically, the actual menu is created in Encore, the AE part is a background.
    I think there are other tutorials out there too.

  • Adobe after Effects CC Automatically Speeds up Clips/Audio

    My Adobe After Effects CC Automatically Speeds Up Any Clip/Audio I drag Into It How Can I Fix This?

    Without details I have no idea what's going on. It is not normal, but I don't know anything about your experience level, your system, your project, the type of audio file or anything else about your project. You might have just as well asked "Why is watermelon?"

  • After effect videos for nonprofits

    Hello,
    We are starting a new social enterprise to promote free eBooks and culture in general. We are a nonprofit and an after effects video explaining what we do would be a good starting point for our new website  http://www.encremento.com and blog http://www.encremento.com/blog
    Can anyone recommend good examples of after effect videos explaining business model or campaigns?

    I see the templates, rather old, but yes, they are a good starting point for a video. But nobody uses them for the entire video. Or, few people do anyway.
    I don't know anyone using them for organizational messages, but then again, many of the ones I have from http://www.videoblocks.com/ could easily be used that way.
    The examples of crowd funding where basically meant to show how people communicate a message. Nothing more.
    I believe that once you have your elevator pitch, start getting the thoughts into a storyboard, then think about what kind of intro will draw people into watching the rest of the video, and maybe stick around to investigate the web site, you should be able to simple translate that storyboard into a video. Select a great intro, either dramatic, or exciting, or artistic, or whatever suits you. Pick some music that matches the personality of the organization, and get a great voiceover talent from within your organization if you can.
    Once you have figured out what you want to say, the rest is just window dressing.

  • After Effects Video Clip Freeze in the Timeline

    I  exported 20 seconds After Effects compositions as a Quicktime Animation, and when imported into PrPro CC it just plays 60% of the pictures and will display that frame to the end. The audio plays fine but the pictures will just freeze. It's the second time I have had this problem now. Apparently the exported video play well to the end using Rich Media Player. So basically the problem lies in Premiere Pro. Last time I overcame it by using the clip to create a new sequence which I then dragged into my preferred timeline and it worked.
    Any ideas why this is a problem...

    I would try removing QuickTime from the equation.  It's often a problem.

  • After Effects video cue point data error #1107

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a personalised video using the techniques described here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/atv_personalized_video.html
    I have created the video and tracking data in After Effects (CS5), converted the tracking data to Flash cue points and exported the .flv file. I can import the video into Flash (CS6) just fine and I can see all the cue point data however when I try to compile the Flash project, bearing in mind this is just an empty stage with an instance of FLVPlayback on it, I get the following errors:
    VerifyError: Error #1107: The ABC data is corrupt, attempt to read out of bounds.
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Icon is not defined.
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable FLVPlayback is not defined.
    ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Main is not defined.
    If I export the .flv without the cue point data I can import, compile and play the video without error.
    I've had a look around and I've not really been able to find any information about this issue and don't have a clue where to start with it.
    Any ideas?!

    Here is the script I used to export the markers as valid XML for Flash to import. Please note that this will export all markers from all layers so if, as I did, you have multiple 'versions' of your tracking data on different layers it will export the whole lot.
    var comp = app.project.activeItem;
    var XMLStart = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?><FLVCoreCuePoints>";
    var XMLEnd = "</FLVCoreCuePoints>";
    var XMLTemp = "";
    var XMLFinal = "";
    var layerCount = comp.numLayers;
    var layer = new Object;
    var layerMarkers = new Object;
    var markerCount = 0;
    var curMarkerTime = 0;
    var curMarkerName = "";
    var curMarkerType = "";
    var curMarkerXML = "";
    //Layer markers
    for(i=1; i<layerCount+1; i++) {
        layer = comp.layer(i);
        layerMarkers = layer.marker;
        markerCount = layerMarkers.numKeys;
        for(j=1; j<markerCount+1; j++) {
            // get the parameters for this marker
            var params = layerMarkers.keyValue(j).getParameters();
            var XMLParam = "";
            var cont = false;
            // loop through parameters
            for(param in params) {
                // I added this conditional to strip out markers in my project which were superfluous
                if(params[param] == "410,230.5") {
                    var cont = true;
                    continue;
                // generate the XML for the parameter
                XMLParam += "<Parameter>";
                  XMLParam += "<Name>" + param + "</Name>";
                  XMLParam += "<Value>" + params[param] + "</Value>";
                XMLParam += "</Parameter>";
            // if this is a superfluous marker then don't add it to the XML string, just go on to the next
            if(cont) {
                continue;
            // get / set additional marker meta data
            curMarkerTime = layerMarkers.keyTime(j) * 1000;
            curMarkerName = layerMarkers.keyValue(j).cuePointName;
            curMarkerType = "actionscript";
            // assemble the full XML element for this cue point
            curMarkerXML = "<CuePoint><Time>" + curMarkerTime + "</Time><Type>" + curMarkerType + "</Type><Name>" + curMarkerName + "</Name><Parameters>" + XMLParam + "</Parameters></CuePoint>";
            XMLTemp += curMarkerXML;
    //Comp markers
    var tempText = comp.layers.addText("");
    var tempSrc = tempText.text.sourceText;
    tempSrc.expression = "thisComp.marker.numKeys";
    markerCount = Number(tempSrc.value);
    if(markerCount > 0) {
        for (i=1; i<=markerCount; i++) {
            tempSrc.expression = "thisComp.marker.key(" + i + ").time;";
            curMarkerTime = Number(tempSrc.value) * 1000;
            tempSrc.expression = "thisComp.marker.key(" + i + ").cuePointName;";
            curMarkerName = String(tempSrc.value);
            tempSrc.expression = "thisComp.marker.key(" + i + ").eventCuePoint;";
            if(tempSrc.value == "true") {
                curMarkerType = "event";
            } else {
                curMarkerType = "navigation";
            curMarkerXML = "<CuePoint><Time>" + curMarkerTime + "</Time><Type>" + curMarkerType + "</Type><Name>" + curMarkerName + "</Name></CuePoint>";
            XMLTemp += curMarkerXML;
    tempText.remove();
    //create output string
    XMLFinal = XMLStart + XMLTemp + XMLEnd;
    //Write file
    var cueFile = File.saveDialog("Save the XML file", "XML:*.xml" );
    cueFile.open("W");
    cueFile.write(XMLFinal);
    cueFile.close();

  • Problems with After Effects video in Premiere CS5

    I've run into an interesting problem using sequences in Premiere Pro CS5 that I create in After Effects CS5. Here's the skinny: I created a sequence in AE, 1440x1080. I exported the composition as a movie (avi). I then imported it into my 1440x1080 Premiere project. It looked great when playing it in the preview monitor. But - when I place the video clip on the timeline, I first get a green bar and then a red bar - even when the clip is the only video on the timeline. And sometimes the red bar even extends to a clip that's adjacent to the AE clip. When I render the effects in the sequence, the red bar problem goes away - BUT the quality of the AE clip is compromised. The image gets noticeably noisy and degraded. Does anyone have insights as to why this is happening? Am I exporting the AE sequence incorrectly? Many thanks.

    Jim,
    I was able to import an AE comp into Premiere using your suggestion below. After I rendered it in Premiere, it played fine. Thanks.

  • Adobe after effect cs5 automatic crashes when im starting it up

    Hi
    First time ever im on this forum.
    Well i got a problem.
    Its like whenever i start up adobe after effect its just freaking crashes.
    And also 3 error windows pops up.
    Heres the first one:
    And i dont even know what that means.
    Something on Polish.
    Heres the next one:
    And heres the third one:
    That was all.
    Also the system im using is x64 windows 7 ultimate.
    And this just happend when i was making a montage and rendering it.
    It was really slow so i stoped the rendering process and whosh it crashed.
    It also sad that i could make an last save because adobe after effect crashed.
    So any ideas?

    Which format were you rendering it to? Was it a QuickTime codec?

  • After Effects crashing each time my composition hits a certain time

    Every time I either play back my composition or try to render it, it crashes when it hits the 12;06 mark. I've been working on the composition all day, and I didn't have this problem until I completely finished and I was going to play it back, and then it did the same thing when I tried to render it. I've tried it many times, rendering using both After Effects and the Adobe Media Encoder, and I've restarted my computer and nothing has worked.
    I have After Effects CC 13.2.0.49 and I have all the newest updates installed. I'm using OS X 10.9.5. Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. The files are .mov and I'm accessing them via an external hard drive.
    This is the alert that pops up:
    Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? Or some kind of work around? I worked really hard on this project and I need it to render asap because it's due soon!

    If you get a crash on a specific frame the first thing to do is to move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to 12;06 and then press the U key twice to look for new layers, effects or keyframes. The second thing to do is to look at your crash log. Usually you will see what is crashing on right at the top of the list. If you are looking at a memory leak or some other memory issue you can try opening the Secret panel of the preferences by going to After Effects>Preferences and holding down the shift key before you click. Open the Secret Preferences and set the cache to purge every few frames.
    If nothing is obvious then you should render an image sequence instead of a movie. For a lot of complex projects I just render an image sequence to start with because it's much easier to fix a few frames or go back and pick up where you left off. If  AE crashes you'll have the first frames you rendered and they will be perfect. You can then reset the start point of the render to the last good frame and try rendering the rest of the project. In many cases this will fix the problem and get you a movie that you can use. BTW, you get no audio with an image sequence so if you have edited audio in AE then you'll either need to either do the audio in Audition,  Premiere Pro, or AE and add the replacement audio there.

  • After effects films automatic build from php databank

    hello,
    do everyone have a idea to make many films automaticly from an folder with many article-pictures and a text from php databank?!
    for example,
    i have many hundreds article and article-pictures and i would have for youtube for everyone of the article a single film in form of a diashow.
    one film have i build with after effects, but how can i now change the pictures and text automaticly to make films
    for the other articles?!
    thanks for your answers
    greets montihh

    You can write a script or search for one that automates slideshows from an image foler. You can also write a script or search for one that turns comma delimited text files into text layers. I use a script to create lower 1/3's .
    You can't directly go from a PHP page to text or image layers in After Effects, but you can go, very easily with the right script, from a file folder full of stills to and a text file with your copy to an animated slide show with titles. I'm not sure that it would be any more interesting than a slideshow made with iPhoto or any of the web based or Windows versions of auto slide show creation tools.

  • Installed Yosemite and now After Effects crashed each time I try to use the effect KeyLite 1.2. I have CS5.5

    As soon as I try to add the effect to my video, I get: Adobe After Effects 10.5 quit unexpectdly.
    I tried reinstalling CS5.5 and still get the error.

    > Todd, yes but I have cs5.5 not cs6
    Then you need to use an operating system on which that older version is supported.
    When Apple makes major changes in each operating system that break previous applications and plug-ins, the creators of those applications and plug-ins can't go back and patch every previous version to accommodate these operating system changes.
    We have committed to supporting After Effects CS6 and later on new operating systems.
