Animation Preset - Autoscroll - horizontal

Dear whom it may concern,
I use animation preset - Autoscroll Horizontal to a graphic background in my After Effects composition.
I actually have the 2 backgrounds that run in opposite directions by using the Autoscroll.
It took me a while to figure out how to turn direction. This is done with the function speed by setting it to minus. It is now set to -230.
Well, it all works really well in my compositions window and when I run a RAM preview I see no problems at all. But as soon as I have rendered the film and plays it turns out that a background has stopped scrolling.
The background that stops, is the one who has speed set to minus. It stops in the middle of the movie. But only when I renderer film, not the preview. My film is 3 min. long and the background stops about 2 minutes. with scrolling.
Is there anyone who can see if I've missed something, or that can guide me in the right direction.
Many friendly greetings Jonas - CS5

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you for your very prompt reply.
I've been thinking the same thought that maybe it was timed.
However, I have noticed that if I change the speed, this will also change where scrolling stops.
However, I am not sure how I get around it ...
And you're right, I have not seen the whole movie in raw preview from start to finish
Maybe I somehow reset the speed and then again back to the starting point ...!
MP rendering is disabled.
Thank you once again!

After Effects Autoscroll - Vertical Animation Preset Issue

Hi After Effects Community,
I am hoping someone can assist me with an issue I have been unable to work out when applying the Autoscroll Vertical Animation preset in After Effects CC. I have already spent ages working way through the forums and googling topic but not quite found the answer, so here goes:
Trying to create scrolling credits for a film I am are editing. Normally, I use the titler in Premiere Pro CC for this and then use the scroll setting. This works to a point but it is very limited in terms of editing/formatting and I have been trying to create a template in After Effects where by you can simply go in and edit the text in the layers and drop the new credit roll into any project.
Taking advice from a source online (Trish Meyer I think), I created a new comp (1920 x 1080 @ 25fps and 2 mins long) and then created a precomp inside this and created all my text. I adjusted the size of this comp so that all the text layers fit onto it. This made it very long (dimensions of precomp are 1920 x 16000. Other settings matched the main composition). I then went back to my main comp and applied the Autoscroll Vertical Animation preset behaviour effect. I thought this was it as the effect did create a scroll but I found that it didn't start the roll from the beginning of my text, rather half way down, and also only scrolled so far before it stopped scrolling.
Does anyone have any advice or recommendations as to what I need to do here to create the desired effect? Ideally I need it to roll through the credit text and then slowly stop on last line of credits before fading to black. I notice that the Motion Tile section of the preset effect has numbers that are red (numbers relate to Tile Centre) and assume this links to the expression attached to this effect.
Do I need to animate the centre of the tile? I saw something online about there being a maximum number of frames the After Effects can render or something like this which is why the animation stops. I must admit I can't believe that this is such a hard thing to learn how to do as I would have thought it is a basic that most film makers would need to do at some point yet it is not well covered online in the form of tutorials etc.
Anyway, I would be so grateful if anyone is able to help. If it is easier I am willing to upload my AE project file so that people can take a closer look to see in more detail what I have tried to explain here.
Many thanks,
Alex

One way to create the correct timing is to create 2 keyframes for position that are 1 frame apart. set the y value for the second key frame to be the number of pixels per frame movement that you need (say 2 pixels). then add this expression: loopOut('continue') the movement will not happen until time hits the first keyframe, so timing can be adjusted in a more familiar way, then the code just continues that movement.
You might add this animation and expression to a null, then parent the credits to the null to make it easy to adjust the credit position separate from the animation. Also, you can split the layer at the point you want it to stop moving and undo the parent for it.

Animation preset--one letter at a time

I am looking for a text animation preset that shows one letter at a time. I have tried several of the presets and applied a mask, but I am assuming there is an automated way to do this, either with a preset or an expression of some kind.
Lee

"Shows" can be done a thousand different ways but let's just say you're scaling the letter up from 0% to 100%.
What you want to do is spend about two hours reading about and then playing with text animators. You will simply apply your animation choices to a letter and use the Selector to move a set of frames along your text object. The frames will show you which letters are getting your animation settings. You will keyframe the selector position so it moves along your text object.
The sections in the manual only hint at the levels of complexity and variety.. you will also want to use the online help system for the more explicit information.
Warning: The whole process is quite confusing and frustrating for your first many efforts. But eventually you will see how cool the whole text animation systems are.

Can't preview animation presets via AF CS5 in Preview window in Bridge CS5

None of the animated Presets in After Effects Support Files will play in the Bridge previewer. Other media show up fine. I'm running Windows 7 64bit, X4 955 processor, 8 gigs RAM. All other CS5 programs work flawlessly. The only possible solution I found from Adobe for Bridge was the following which did not work: Select this option if slide shows or images in the Preview panel, Full Screen Preview, or Review mode don’t display correctly. Using software rendering for previews displays previews correctly, but the display speed may become slow and there may be other limitations. 1.In Advanced preferences, select Use Software Rendering. 2.Restart Adobe Bridge Any other options?

This is a graphics card/driver issue. Make sure you have the latest updates.
Also, I beilve the that animition effects rely on Quicktime, so make sure you have that installed as well.

Text Animation Presets do not load.

Text animation presets do not load in After Effects CC (or Adobe Bridge when browsing presets). They don't show up in Effects & Presets panel. I believe they used to show up but no longer. They are in the presets folder so I'm not sure why they won't load in either program.
Any help appreciated.

They show up for me and everybody I know except you. Without knowing something about your system, about whether this is new behavior, and without knowing what if anything has changed on your system I have no idea how to help you.

Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6?

so I upgrade from CS6 to CC and did not install Bridge CC. Then while in After Effects CC I try to view the text animation presets, but window informs me I do not have Bridge CC installed. I then download and install Bridge CC and view the animation presets, but seem all the same as Bridge CS6 has.
My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
Is there another procedure to acquire more? Did I click past something on my first launch of Bridge CC?

My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
Best try this in the After Effect forum, to my knowledge not many AE users are here at a regular base. Besides that, every suite version has its dedicated applications to work together in that suite, CC is no exception to that so for best practice use Bridge CC.

Problems using Animation Presets from Bridge

Dear all,
Using the CC range, and recently had a new problem using the animation presets from Adobe Bridge. I'm in After Effects as normal, and then go to the Animations drop down, click browse recent presets to open up Bridge, and then as normal use Bridge to select the preset I want. Double click it whilst highlighting my selected track in AE, and then AE reports this:
And the same error codes no matter what effect/animation I choose, whether its to an image, video or text.
If I just go, in AE, to my Recent Animation Presets, and choose one from there it loads up absolutely fine. But this is massively annoying. Any ideas? This problem appeared out of nowhere.

This is fixed in the After Effects 2014.2 (13.2) update, which is now available.

How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
It also helps if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.

Applying Animation Presets from Adobe Bridge?

I haven't used this feature in a long time, so I don't know if this is a configuration problem on my PC or something I am doing wrong. In the flyout menu of the Effects and Presets panel, selecting ""Browse Presets" brings up Adobe Bridge. If I double click on a preset, say the apparition background, AE shows:
After Effects error: Can't import file "Apparition.ffx": unsupported filetype or extension. (0::1)
However, if I try the same thing using the Animation menu->Apply Animation Preset->Open->....Apparition.ffx, it works fine.
AE Version: 13.1.1.3
Bridge Version: 6.1.0.116 x64
Windows 8.1

There's an issue with the installers for that version. The wrong script is involved. I don't have the link to the page explaining it, but if you do a search through these forums for other people with the issue, I'm sure you can find it.
Until it gets fixed in an update, don't use Bridge to apply animation presets - just use the effects and presets panel in AE or the menu option as you're already doing.

Animation presets import trough Adobe Bridge Browser

Hi guys,
I am sure that in previous versions of AE I could "Browse Presets" trough Bridge, double click on selected preset and it would import into AE.
Now, in CC and CC2014, when I browse presets, and double click on selected one it shows error (" Unsupported file type or extension").... then, I have to go manually, trough "Apply animation preset", find the preset and load it....
Any solution???
Thanks!

Make sure scripts are enabled for CC and CC14 in Bridge Preferences:
Restart Bridge, select the Timeline panel then select the layer you want to apply the preset to and double click.

Bridge CC hangs/freezes with AE animation presets.

Does anyone else have the issue of Bridge CC hanging/freezing when an AE animation preset is selected in Bridge? This happens whether I Browse Presets from AE or I attempt to navigate to the presets folder directly through Bridge CC.
I have uninstalled and re-installed both programs, with no success. I can still apply an animation preset to a layer from the presets panel in AE, but of course there is no preview, so this is a bit frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

No experience with AE but if one set up does work and the other not it is likely the problem of that one set up.
Uninstall and reinstall without using Adobe cleaner tool is rarely solving problems because existing prefs and cache often keeps the same.
The central cache is by default installed in the user library caches folder. When in real trouble I always manual delete this cache file, together with the Bridge plist file and restart Bridge holdong down option key and reset prefs.
This provides an almost new install with factory defaults.
Be aware that per OSX 10.7 the user library is hidden, use menu Go with option to reveal)
User / library / caches / Adobe/ Bridge CC : inhere a plug in and a folder called cache. Drag both outside the user library (trash or back up)
User / library / preferences / com.adobe.Bridge6.plist (drag to the trash)
restart Bridge holding down option and choose refresh prefs, then try again.
You need to reset your custom settings and sometimes reset the custom workspace and since you dumped the cache it first needs time to recache your content.

Relative positioning animation preset?

Hello friends,
I am familiar with saving an animation preset with all the attributes... but how do I apply an animation/positioning preset, which applys to layers relatively to their original position?
The Problem: when I save an animation preset, it saves the start position and hard sets the layer to that exact position when I apply the preset.
My wish: I want to relatively apply positioning effects.
Any ideas? I would appreciate every help, thank you!

Hello Rick, that is a great workaround, I will try this. I see a little problem with objects that "lean" out of the canvas. If I then wrap them in a null and animate the null I would only move the cropped objects ;-)

How to save expression together with animation preset?

I am trying to understand expressions and animation presets.
I have one single slider control, which controls the opacity of a layer, where the value is the slider value + slightly changed using an expression.
I can save the slider control as an animation preset, but the expression gets lost.
Yes, this is so basic that it can be, this is the way I like to learn. And as far as I know, expressions can be saved together with animation presets. I hope someone can tell me how!

The reason that the expression is not removed when you delete the slider is that the expression is only reading the slider value, the slider doesn't know that the expression is there. There's no reverse link.
You can build more professional effects but that involves editing the xml file that tells AE what effects are applied. This still would not generate a reverse link to an expression.
Enabling or disabling an effect only changes the way things are rendered. If you have keyframes on a Lens Flair Brightness and you disable the effect the Lens Flair will not render but the keyframe values will still be available to an expression. Again, there's no reverse link. Since an expression slider does not make a change in the pixel values of a layer turning the FX switch on or off will have no effect on an expression reading the value.
The "trick" in creating an Animation Preset that uses expressions and is removed with the "effect" is removed from the Effects Control Window is to only write expressions for properties that are available in the effects used. You could do this by applying the Transform Effect, or the Levels Individual Controls Effect, or the CC Composite Effect to the layer and writing the expression there instead of placing your expression in the Layer's opacity property. Take a look at this screenshot.

Missing Animation Presets in After Effects 2014 CC

I upgraded from CS6 CC to 2014 CC and cannot now find the Animation Presets anywhere on my system. I deleted CS6 CC because of space considerations. They were in it. Can't find them anywhere on my system. Standard install. WIndows 7 Pro, 6 GB i7 blah blah blah! Was told by Tech Support that I couldn't BROWSE them because I don't have Bridge CC. I do have CS5.5 Premium Bridge, but can't reach it from 2014 CC. Even using it outside of 2014 CC I can't find Animation Presets. I can't find the folder they're supposed to be in, find everything else.
Help!

Hello Rick Gerard,
Thank you for the prompt and apparently correct answer. However, this did not solve my problem. Perhaps I was not totally clear in my original post. To that end, before I posted I went to the panel for Effects and Presets inside AE 2014 CC. That was what lead me to start trying to Browse Animation Presents and finding out that Adobe Bridge 2014 CC was not installed, etc. Okay, I can live without that.
The Animation Presets DO NOT SHOW UP in the Effects and Presets panel as you have displayed in the graphic. In fact, searching for Animation in that panel's search box produces no result. Looking at a list of Animation Presets from Adobe's site and searching for several of them produces nothing. The Animation Presets cannot be found. They are not in any folder inside or outside the install. Even searching my entire system for *.ffx (I believe that is correct) turns up nothing.
Something may have gone awry when I deleted (actually uninstalled) CS6 using Windows' own uninstall function. I only did that because my then hard drive was crammed to the max and functionality had degraded. I replaced that drive and now I'm a happy camper again except for not finding the Animation Presets.
IF I deleted/uninstalled them inadvertently, what are my options for getting them back? Deactivate and reinstall 2014 CC? What about reinstall/reactivate(?) CS6? Thanks once again and also in advance.
