AME from After Effects?

I have plug-ins that are only in AE (CS4) but would prefer to render using Adobe Media Encoder. If I export an Adobe Premiere project it won't carry with it the plug-in effects I assume. Whats the solution?

In the Render Queue when I select H.264 I don't get the same options I do from AME H.264.
It's a subset of those options, because AE doesn't support things like 2 pass encoding, for example.
Running AME as a stand alone I can only "add" video files. It doesn't render directly from an AE project.
In the File menu you'll see a menu item called "Add After Effects Composition", only if you have the CS4 Production Premium or Master Collection suites. This will bring the Dynamic Link browser, which lets you pick an AE comp from an AE project and encode that directly from AME standalone.
If you got AE or Premiere Pro as separate point products (ie, not as part of a suite), you won't get that option.

  • Rendering MP4 with AME from After Effects is always single-core?

    When I render MP4 from After Effects CC 2014.2 (by AME) then rendering always is slow and only single-core, despite that in AE prefs Multiprocessor rendering is set.
    Why?

    I have made quick test now.
    AE's Render Queue: render time 53s - average CPU load about 50% (12 cores, 8 rendering threads at this case) - 8 threads active in Process Explorer
    AME Render: 2m08s - average CPU load about 20% (same machine) - 1 thread active in Process Explorer
    (please note that this was simple project; at 8active/12total cores this should be 66% or even more total CPUs load, so probably much time was disk I/Os - if only was 50% of total CUP load)
    So essential question is:
    Is AME CC 2014.2 renders AE projects as set in AE prefs in multiprocessing?
    Or maybe there is separate option in AME to turn on multiprocessing on AE's projects?

  • When I add my composition to the Adobe Media Encoder from After Effects, it renders out incorrectly?

    Why is it that when I add my composition directly from after effects to the adobe media encoder, it renders out of the adobe media encoder incorrectly? By that I mean the video comes out a little scrambled- parts of it overlap other parts. Is this an issue with 'dynamic link'? Did I do something wrong? I'm working in CC.

    I also don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by "parts of it overlap other parts"? A screen shot might help.
    What were your render settings in AME? (Format, Codec, data rate, etc.)
    What is in your AE comp? If footage, tell us what format, codec, etc. Tell us what effects were used too.
    What exact version number of AE CC are you using?

  • How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    Short answer, there is no simple "export to iPhone", but if you just want to have a movie that you can watch on you iPhone, just send yourself an attachment via email (other than .avi) and save it to your phone.
    You can also use dropbox as an option.
    With an app, you could mount your iPhone as an external drive. (check out iExplorer)
    Also: check AME for h264 variations before you send it to yourself.  There are presets for iPhone compression.

  • 16:9 video sides cut off when exported from After Effects

    When I export a 16:9 video from After Effects, the sides are cut off in the exported clip.  I've tried different export settings and and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell. Does anyone know why this could be happening?
    Thanks!

    and my composition settings are correct, from what I can tell.
    But are they really? We cannot know, because you don't say anything about your exact render settings and comp settings, which is what is required here. You could be using an unsuitable CoDec or even crop your output inadvertently by using a specific output module setting....

  • Exporting layers of audio from After Effects  cs6 to Premiere / or Audition? Is this possible?

    exporting layers of audio from After Effects  cs6 to Premiere / or Audition? Is this possible?
    Help - I have an After effects project with multiple layered files and want to copy these to Premiere / Audition. For example I know if you select multiple video files from After Effects these can be pasted straight into Premiere intact - but this does not work with audio. I want to take existing layered audio files from After Effects to Audition / or Premiere but can't copy and paste - is there a simple solution for this?

    Hi thanks Dave for responding - yes that could work as a 'workaround' -  I was hoping there would be a way I can keep the existing independent audio layers and corresponding audio levels from After Effects- in the same way I can copy and paste video files from After Effects to Premiere - rather than exporting a flattened AIFF /WAV from After Effects.
    This would then allow me a lot more control working on the final edit - especially as currently a lot of the audio layers overlap. It does seem there is no simple solution for this, so  otherwise I can do what you suggest - and 'stagger all the audio files' in sequence so they do not overlap on the timeline and then when I import the flattened exported AIFF file into Audition/ Premeire / I then can cut it up again and recreate the overlaps. Was hoping there might be a simple copy + paste method or other 'export method' but I guess this is simply not possible. It would save me about 7 hours of work, but not the end of the world I guess
    One final point - some of the audio clips are .mp3s but the majority are WAVS, hopefully this should not create any issues on the export.
    thanks again for your help, if you or anyone has any other solution pls let me know
    Best

  • Color in .mov file from After Effects CS6

    Scrren shot of how my animation looks in After Effects CS6 (on the left), vs. how it looks when rendered to a .mov file. (on the right). See how washed-out the colors look?
    I am on a Mac, latest software versions and OSX.7.4. The source material is in RGB mode,  Color Setting is Adobe RGB 1998, which is my wRGB working space. Color settings are synchronized across the entire suite. In the AE project settings, I see that color management is turned on and we are indeed in the  Adobe RGB 1998 color space.
    Possibly export settings, because I do not know thing one about those!

    Read this FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?
    Then I would suggest trying a different codec.  When you send your comp to the Render Queue it says lossless next ot the Output Module Settings, that means that it's using After Effect's defualt lossless settings, which uses a codec called Animation.  Animation is an ancient codec that delivers huge files and it isn't used so much in production anymore.  If you click on lossless the Output Module Settings screen will come up where you can change the format of your render and you can change the codec by hitting the Format Options button.
    I've seen that washed out issue before with the Animation codec and just did some tests.  I also played with the Color Management settings using the Animation codec by going to the upper right hand tab in the Output Module Settings menu.  That seemed to have no effect on the final look of the render.  A quicktime render with the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec seems to match the AE screenshot almost identically.
    Unfortunately, you can't get the ProRes codecs without having either Final Cut Pro installed or Apple Motion.  I think it's possible to buy them from the Apple website.  However, there are other lossless codecs you can try such as Uncompressed YUV 10bit or 8bit, but I just did a test and I got a much darker render than the ProRes renders and the screenshot.  Judge for yourself what's best...

  • Sound problem with exporting from After Effects

    Hello everybody,
    I exported a windows media video from premiere cs5 (it was shot with the cannon 7d).
    The video has 1 video channel, 1 audio channel that contains a conversation, and another audio channel that contains only music.
    After I exported it, I imported the video into After Effects cs5, I added some effects, and then I exported it as a windows media video.
    The audio settings were:
    Mode- music
    codec- windows meida audio voice 9
    audio format- 20kbps, 22.05 khz, mono
    Even though the video from Premiere was flawless, the one from After Effects contains the conversation perfectly, but the music is very low and even erratic.
    Did anybody experienced this problem?

    AE doesn't deal with multiple channels. It always assumes that a file with 2 channels is stereo. You need to export the audio from Premiere separately or create a proper stereo mix, not throw two interleaved mono channels at AE...

  • Importing project from after effects to premiere, plug in effect not available?

    Hello all, Im using cs5. When I import a video project to premiere from after effects, i get an error message saying that an effect plugin from after effects is not available in premiere. Specifically the glow effect. I thought that since after effects had the effect that premiere would too. I'm asking for the college i go to as we are not too familiar with this program and we have a sub for the next few weeks, thanks in advanced !

    oh sorry, i didnt notice that the post i posted didnt have really any info, the page froze and the page saved my info, i guess i submitted the wrong post. anyways, this whats going on.
    I make an after effects cs5 composition which is a .MOV video i took, roughly 1 minute with the glow effect applied to the video. I then import the composition to premiere, premiere then gives me the error that premiere does not have the glow effect and therefore, won't be applied. below is my specs and here is a link to another post of mine that might possibly have something to do with this. after effects cs5 keylight (1.2) crash with dynamic link error?

  • Blurry comp from After Effects to Premiere

    Hello,
    I did a simple logo as a 3D object to spin and have some text flash by. I encoded it and imported it to Prem Pro. The problem is the logo and text look blurry when I hit play. Is there a rule of thumb for export settings etc etc. Thanks for the help.

    Suggestions -
    1. Use Dynamic lik instead of exporting from after effects and then impoting in premiere pro if you have production premium or master collection.
    2. If you are exporting for the purpose of importing in another application (premiere pro or Encore) you should chose to export in uncompressed format like uncompressed avi. So that you dont loose quality twicw that is once while export from after effect and then while export from premiere pro.

  • Exporting Motion Graphics and animation from After Effects CS5

    I find that exporting from After Effects is problematic when using a ramp or working with anything that has a gradient of some kind. Always banding and artifacts.
    Any insight into how to achieve good result with projects such as this?
    Thx in advance.

    I find that exporting from After Effects is problematic when using a ramp or working with anything that has a gradient of some kind.
    ...then don't! Sorry, but this is the same old thing: Simple computational math dictates that between points A and B only so many discrete color levels can exist in 8bit color and that any distance beyond 1024 pixels will result in duplicate pixels of the same colors to be adjacent, commonly referred to as banding. Or in other words: You are looking to fix a thing that can't really be fixed, even more so when compression reduces the available color range further. Yes, you can use all sorts of tricks like adding noise or adjusting gamma to minimize this, but it will never go away. The ugly harsh truth is, that it all starts with a flawed design approach and any of that is merely trying to fix things at the wrong and. As I said in my initial sentence, don't use gradients that cover such large distances along just one axis or uniformely colored areas. Ad structure by adding more gradients perpendicular/ at an angle to the main gradient, use subtle color variations, add vignetting or generally use "busy" designs that have more elements or textures that would allow to forego large uniform areas....

  • Exporting from After Effects (field dominance issues?)

    Hi all,
    I created a FCP DV/NTSC sequence with field dominance set to none (I'm working with still images, this improves the quality a lot). I then export that sequence as a quicktime movie file and import that movie file into After Effects.
    The problem is after I'm done working in After Effects, I can't export a quicktime file without it looking really poor quality. When exporting, I preserve all the original FCP sequence settings, except the field dominance settings(doesn't seem to be an option in After Effects for this?).
    So pretty much I am trying to get a sharp picture when exporting in After Effects, so I can take it back into FCP. Please assist.

    Your workflow is quite limited by the DV NTSC sequence. If your sequence is all stills, you are not necessarily tied to that setting at all. Do you need to output to a VTR via FireWire ultimately? What is your final output?
    A better sequence choice might be DV50. You would export a QT movie, current settings. You don't actually export from After Effects. You render by adding your comp to the Render Queue. Good render settings would be DV50 (this would not require rendering in FCP), Animation, or perhaps ProRes 422 HQ if you have access to it. You would choose not to render fields.
    If it's all stills, it would be better yet to simply start in After Effects.

  • Exporting from After Effects to Final Cut Pro

    Hi
    Could anybody tell me the best way to export from After Effects, back in to Final Cut Pro? Do I need to get Automatic Duck for this, if so which one?
    Thanks for any help!
    Matt

    You need to add your composition to the render cue and then export to the same format and codec that you're using in FCP. Automatic Duck is a great tool for getting your FCP or Motion timelines into After Effects but most of the time I simply select a clip in FCP, export it as a reference movie, bring it into AE for processing, then render a file to use as a replacement in FCP.
    Search for After Effects Final Cut Workflow and you'll find some more tips including this one. It isn't bad for organization but it misses the point of using the same codec. All my FCP projects are ProRez HQ or ProREZ 444 so that's my choice. Also, if you use the entire shot, which is not a bad idea, then you can use the replace footage option in FCP which is more efficient than the demoed technique of dragging your rendered shot into the timeline and then trimming if needed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems exporting Animation codec from After Effects CS3 to FCP

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can help: I am having troubles with video transfer from After effects CS3 to FCP 6
    my workflow is to edit and export in FCP as quicktime movie - work on the clip in AE and then export as Animation/best quality/Millions of colors+. The footage is SD Pal 1024 x 576.
    the problem is that the files don't seem to play back properly in quicktime - very jagged and lots of ghosting. I assume this is due to the memory heavy features of the codec.
    However any file over 10 seconds will not be imported into FCP natively and a message reads final cut pro does not support this file type.
    I overcame this by opening the clip in quicktime and then exporting again with exactly the same settings - this then reads in FCP - although this seems over the top
    I now want to work with a 10 min finished comp in FCP but when I try to do this it picks up the ghosting that had appeared when playback in quicktime. However when rendered/ exported from the FCP timeline it retains the ghosting
    in short I can burn a successful DVD of the footage as is from AE but it is not suitable to FCP.
    I have tried exporting the clip in quicktime as quicktime DV pal but this retains the ghosting. Is this a hard ware problem or is my work flow wrong?
    thanks
    Paul

    Converting from A to B means either a lossy conversion or a significant increase in storage requirements (up to 5x with DV as the starting point). You are best served with keeping conversions to a minimum.

    This is in contradiction with the general feelings on this forum.
