Blank Layer in After Effects CS4

I use to remember how to create a blank layer in after effects, then add a blur effect to the layer and make a oval. I am obviously doing something wrong because what I am doing is not working. I am trying to blur a moving object in adobe premier using key framing. I use to open a new composition, then add an adjustment layer, add a blur effect, then use the shape tool to create a blurred oval. Not sure what I am doing wrong but its not working.

No keyframing is required for this effect so we're not sure what you think you want us to help you accomplish. Since this is the AE forum forget you have Premiere and forget how you think you remember doing something because, we will agree, your memory appears to be faulty by your own admission. Try to explain what you want to see on the screen in the simplest of terms

  • I don't know how to use a light layer in After Effects CS4

    Hello,
         I work with a lot of texts layers and it's very trendy to put a light layer across the text at one point or another, it looks really good too. But I've looked on the net for tutorials and can't figure out how to use the light layer so that a light goes across a text from one side to the other. It looks like a flash light went across the text. I go to the top and choose >Layer >New >Light.
    What happens is the color of the text changes (the part that isn't shined upon). How can I change the settings so that the text color doesn't change? Do you know of any video tutorials to use for a light layer?
       Thank you for your time!!

    How can I change the settings so that the text color doesn't change?
    That is kind of a paradox. The whole point of using 3D lights is to have them illuminate the layer, including all shading properties. Color is defined by the layer's base color multiplied with light color and intensity. You really need to set your mind into 3D mode. That aside, I wouldn't bother using a light with flat text. Simply create a feathered circle on top (or 2 or 3), set blending mode to add and animate it across your type.

  • *** Adobe Creative Suite 4 Now Shipping!  After Effects CS4 New Features ***

    Adobe have officially announced the upcoming Creative Suite 4 group of products, including
    After Effects CS4,
    CS4 Production Premium bundle, and
    CS4 Master Collection.
    After Effects CS4 Top New Features
    b Live Adobe Photoshop 3D layers import
    Import Adobe® Photoshop® 3D layers into Adobe After Effects® CS4, move them, animate cameras around them, adjust lighting, and composite them with other elements.
    b Searchable timelines and projects and easier nested comp navigation
    Locate any element in a comp or project with the new QuickSearch. Quickly navigate between nested comps with the new Mini-Flowchart.
    b Compositions exported as layered projects
    Export compositions as layered, XFL format projects that can be opened and edited in Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional software. Many After Effects assets such as text and Adobe Illustrator® artwork are preserved as vectors.
    b Integrated workflow for mobile device authoring
    Select devices in Adobe Device Central and automatically set up an After Effects project that targets those devices, with settings that match the targeted devices and the Render Queue setup to output to the proper codecs and resolutions.
    b Numerous interface and workflow tweaks
    Work more efficiently with dozens of user-requested changes, including the new Auto Resolution setting that only renders visible pixels when zooming in and out of a comp view, streamlined memory and multicore processing preferences, and more.
    b Dynamic Link between Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Soundbooth
    Using Adobe Creative Suite® 4 Production Premium software, now link Adobe Premiere® Pro sequences to an After Effects composition and After Effects comps to Adobe Soundbooth® with Adobe Dynamic Link.
    b Independent keyframing of x, y, z values, plus 3D compositing improvements
    Composite in 3D space more easily: Keyframe x, y, and z position values separately, and use the new unified camera, which makes the After Effects camera tool work more like those in 3D modeling applications.
    b Cartoon effect
    Instantly give live footage the look of cell animation. Stylize video by reducing the color palette of a clip and by emphasizing edges.
    b Mocha for Adobe After Effects from Imagineer Systems
    Use this powerful 2.5D planar tracking application from Imagineer Systems to track the motion of elements even in challenging shots where elements move offscreen or where there is motion blur or excessive grain.
    b XMP metadata for asset intelligence
    Now retain asset metadata while you work in After Effects. Add new project-, comp-, and layer-level metadata to streamline project tracking, and automate asset auditing and many other tasks.
    Also note that
    Adobe OnLocation, included in the CS4 Master Collection, Production Premium bundle, and with Premiere Pro, now runs natively in Mac OS X as well as Windows.

    There's a list of the big new features in the
    "New features in After Effects CS4" section of After Effects CS4 Help on the Web, and you can read about every little change to the UI in the
    "User interface changes from After Effects CS3 to After Effects CS4" section.
    But I thought that all of you who have posted requests to this wishlist might like to get specific responses to some of the items on this list.
    First of all, though, I'd like to point out an innovative set of features that I think addresses a request that many of you have made... just not exactly as you asked for it. All of us have wanted a better way to see into and navigate among nested compositions (precompositions). The Composition Mini-Flowchart and Composition Navigator make moving around in a complex project much, much faster and easier. Telling you to see the
    "Opening and navigating nested compositions" section isn't going to do this feature set justice. You'll only appreciate how slick this is when you get your hands on it.
    Oh, and we reversed the behavior of double-clicking versus Option-double-clicking a precomposition layer: Now double-clicking opens the source composition in the Composition panel, not the precomposition layer in the Layer panel.
    Now, on to the specific responses...

    We've had features for using the pen dynamics with the paint tools for a while. See
    "Brushes and the Brushes panel".
    That said, we've made some improvements under the hood that should make using a pen better (e.g., modifying the sensitivity during certain click and drag operations).

    Though we did add "more stuff", we also spent a lot of time polishing the application this time. The number of small tweaks to address pain points was very large.

  • After Effects CS4 Performance (BRUTAL)

    Despite the comments on this board (from Adobe themselves) claiming improved After Effects CS4 performance over its predecessor, my experience is the exact opposite. This version seems half baked to me.
    AE CS4 isn't just SLOW, and by slow I really mean dreadfully unusable, It's unstable as well. Even running the same template files that came with CS3 and 4, there's a huge difference in render time, ram previews etc. When you can't even rotate a simple cube without crashing, there's some real problems, and this is just the beginning. The previous version had no show stopping issues, it performed like a trooper. This latest however, I can't see how I could use it day to day for anything..
    There is no other software on this machine other than, CS4, Firefox, and Lightwave 9.5, which by the way, handles textured objects with hundreds of thousands of polys, not 6. I first get an error message that reads as followed;
    After effect error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Live Photoshop 3D"
    followed by, After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See... blah blah blah..
    By the way this occurs with or without OpenGl enabled.
    Systems specs
    8GB Ram
    Q6600
    Hard Drive space 4TB, install drive, 156 GB free
    Vista Business 64
    Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS (driver 178.13)
    This is the same machine that ran CS3 very well, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with this rig..

    Fausto,
    I have no problem importing or animating your PSD - no crashes, at least. The resolution is very high. I got better results by cutting the resolution of your PSD in half, which may or may not be an option for you. I improved responsiveness a little by setting the PS 3D layer to "Use Photoshop Transform" in AE.
    But ultimately, the responsiveness of the 3D layer in AE is impossible to work with, except with Live Update disabled. It seems like a RAM issue to me. What size are the texture layers on each side of the cube? If they're all 3000x2000-ish like your document, and you're working at full res, consider that AE has to hold all six images in RAM, plus manipulate them in 3D.
    My own sense is that the whole 3D layer thing simply isn't ready for that kind of resolution in AE yet. And probably wont be until true 64bit code allows the storage of all those textures in RAM more easily.
    As a side note, don't know if it's my location or your server, but your 74Mb image took me almost 2 hours to download.

  • Can you create the Title effect in Daybreakers, adobe after effects cs4,,please take this one as cha

    im currently studying Adobe After Effects CS4, and i found the title of DAYBREAKER(2009)movie a very interesting effect to create, i hope you can give me tutorials on how to do that..please! more power, NOTE: im using adobe after effects cs4

    From what I saw on the trailer for this film the titles are a modified version of George Peolvoy's Flowing Title tutorial posted on Creative Cow about 10 years ago. You'll find the tutorial here.
    The glass effect on the type can be duplicated using layer effects in Photoshop and / or then applying those layer effects to your type layer directly in AE. You'll find a bunch of those tutorials by doing a simple Google search for Glass Text Photoshop.
    There is no one click, one plug-in solution, but if you integrate the layer effects, a displacement map, some compound blur, and a little position keyframing + motion blur you should be able to duplicate the effect exactly. George's tutorial should get you started. If I remember right the project files were for AE 4.1 so they probably won't open in CS4.
    Good luck

  • Severe audio problems in After Effects CS4 and MXF and more...

    Hi!
    I've been experiencing a lot of problems lately with several CS4 products.
    First, and the worst, is that there seems to be some severe audio bug in After Effects when handling mxf-files. I pre-cut a project in premiere CS4, shot with a Sony EX1, and then imported the project in After Effects CS4.
    In premiere everything worked fine and I had all the audio. In AE however the audio matched with the MXF-files disappeared (Yes I had the import audio box checked). All other audio worked fine from the music tracks and so on, but the MXF-files (MXF for NLE) was completely blank, the waveforms were completely flat. I checked every option there is in AE regarding audio and tried enabling and disabling XMP ID's and so on. After a lot of tweaking and testing I understood that the problem was not with any settings anywhere, the MXF-files lacked audio even if I started a new project and just imported the MXF-file.
    The problem seems to be connected to when importing from Premiere. My colleague was editing a similar project on his computer in After Effects without problems, and he started out fresh in AE (didn't pre-cut in premiere). However, we tried to move my project to his computer, to see if the problem was connected with incompability with my hardware or such, and he got the same problem as me when he opened the project. Waveforms on MXF-files were completely flat. Certain confirmation that the problem was not connected with my computer appeared when he later reopened his own project, that had worked fine before, and audio was now completely gone - waveforms flat. An hour later, by chance, his audio suddenly popped back.
    I have experienced this problems in two different projects in different forms (but both pre-cut in premiere). In the first, audio disappeared while previewing but was there when I ctrl-scrolled and rendered (no I hadn't muted audio in the preview panel). In the second, audio was completely gone even when rendered.
    In both cases I tried saving and restarting the computer, reimporting from premiere, starting a fresh after effects project and only importing the mxf-files, changing the project settings, fps fixed to the correct instead of auto, changing output audio mapping, changing XMP, and so on in every possible way and combination I could imagine.
    At my company our suspicion is that After Effects flags mfx-files imported from Premiere in some wierd way, to strengthen and ensure compatibility between the two - regarding different audio tracks, settings and effects from premiere (and this is almost what you could suspect that the XMP ID is for, but as explained with or without doesn't change a thing regarding this). We have no problem with the pure MXF support for AE, as MXF-files work just fine in After Effects if you import them directly and have not imported them through premiere earlier (but after a file has been "flagged" you seem to be sc***ed)
    Anyone else experiencing this? Or am I missing something huge?
    As additional notes, the dynamic link function seems extremely buggy and both premiere both sometimes complains about "dynamic link already in use and only one connection blah blah" even though only one link is used, and even though you restart the projects, programs, computer, whatever.
    In furher addition Adobe Media Encoder (which also seems to be using some sort of dynamic link offspring) is super-buggy and most codec formats either doesn't start to render or just renders partially and then the program hangs. The problem have a connection with a process named pproheadless.exe eating upp all the RAM (4gbs).
    (My workstation has been working smoothly for one and a half years and I have had very little problems with CS3 and "just" AE CS4. I am cautious of updates, don't have spyware and use Quicktime 7.5 as 7.5.5 is superbuggy and people seems to have problems with 7.6 and it doesn't fix the gamma issues anyway.)
    Sorry if this was a long post but the problem is compl

    Dude, that's what these forums are all about. Everyone in here says they dont work for Adobe, but they all act like apologists for what is clearly a disaster of a software release.  My complaints aren't as specialized as yours, just very basic, and I wont go into all of them, because the list is long, and includes nearly every program in CS4.
    I'm going for a refund, either from the retailer or my credit card company. Releasing software like this is dishonest.

  • Text document for After Effect Cs4

    I never open the After Effects CS4 but it is amazing....
    For the beginning, want to try  Animatin Text but couldn't created the Text document.
    when  i created the Text from Photoshop and import to After Effects then it will show " transform" not " Text".
    How can i create the Text document for After Effects....????
    thanks for reading and little help Please

    I do quite a bit of Text Animation in both AE and Premiere Pro, and just create my images in PS. In my case, I am working with SD (Standard Def) DVD Projects in NTSC-land, so I will use the New Image, and then choose the NTSC 720 x 480 Preset, choosing either the Standard 4:3, or Widescreen 16:9 w/ Guides, and then add my various Text Layers, per normal. The layout of my Text Layers will depend on what and how I want to animate my image. Then, I do a Save_As PSD, to be Imported into AE or PrPro. For animations I want the Layers, so I will choose Import_as_a_Sequence in PrPro, so that each Layer is a separate Clip.
    In your case, the New Image Preset might differ, depending on exactly what your Frame Size is, in AE. Plan that out first, so that you match the AE Comp's specs. with your new Image.
    If you are gong to TV, you might want to use the Title Safe and Action Safe Guides in that New Image, as they will help keep your Text within any overscan area for CRT TV's (and still some HD TV's).
    Good luck,

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content only installed on one of two computers

    Hello,
    I installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 MC on two systems. One system lists "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in Add/Remove Programs. This left me a bit baffled as to what this content is and why it only installed on one machine (i.e., assuming I did not erroneously selected or deselected it during the default install). I thought it would be reasonable to install the missing content on the second machine but I cannot find an installer listing "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in the CS4 default or custom installer.
    Could someone please tell me what this content is used for and how I can install it on the second machine?
    Thank you...

    > It should by no means be shown separately in the install database
    That's not true for one case.
    If you install After Effects in trial mode, the third party content won't be installed. But it leaves the third party content installer on your machine so that when you add a serial number the plug-ins can be added. This causes a new installer to run, so it will be registered (and need to be uninstalled) separately from the main installer.
    Frederick- Verify that both machines have the third party plug-ins that Mylenium listed. If it's not on the second machine you probably have it in trial mode and need to serialize. (If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects from the Master Collection package.)

  • "Unable to create font" error when starting After Effects CS4 (Windows Vista)

    Hi all
    I have read a hundred posts about the "unable to create font" message that appears when running After Effects in both CS4 and CS5 versions.
    On MAC, it seems that installing the Verdana fonts family is enough.
    On my PC running Windows Vista, i tried unsuccessfully :
    - uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects
    - installed all the fonts of the Adobe Font Folio v11
    - looked for the "AdobeFnt.lst" to delete it, found no such file in my whole hard drive
    - changed my system language to English (USA)
    Other CS4 softwares work.
    What can i do?

    See this page for some additional information about this error.
    > I forgot to mention that i also installed the 9.0.2 update. Didn't work either!
    You should also install the After Effects CS4 (9.0.3) update.

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes After Reinstall

    Hello Adobe Community,

    Hi Mike,
    Sorry you are experiencing problems with After Effects.
    I have a couple of questions....
    - did you install from a download, or a CD? if from a download, please download again, as their may have been issues
    - did you update it to v 9.02?
    - did you have a previous beta version on your computer?
    - you said you reinstalled Leopard - did you do a clean install? (ie reformatting your harddrive and starting clean)
    I have experienced issues on the mac with a variety of different applications is I do a 're-install" vs a clean install.
    Finally, are you aware that the minimum RAM requirements for AE CS4 is2GB
    So since you only have 1GB, it could be a RAM  issue.
    If you decided you want to try reinstalling before doing the more difficult task (reformatting Mac OS X with a clean install), I would run the cleanup script first, redownload, install, and then update.
    Here's the link: <http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html>
    good luck,

  • Problem installing trial version of After Effects CS4

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the trial version of After Effects CS4 on Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 32-bit Operating System, Processor 2.4GHz, RAM 4GB.
    At the initializing stage it gets to 90% on the 'Checking System Profile...' dialog box, something flashes and then it freezes.
    I've downloaded it a second time in case of corruption.
    I've rebooted several times and retried it with no other applications running.
    I've run updates on any existing adobe products I have.
    Any ideas?  I've never had problems installing adobe products before.
    Thanks.

    Not your fault, known issue.
    a) Download the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility and install it
    b) Download the CS4 Cleanup Utility from Adobe's support pages
    c) Run the CS4 Cleanup, electing to remove all debris from your failed install
    d) Manually uninstall all instances of Adobe AIR products (Acrobat.com, Adobe Media Palyer) using Add or Remove Programs
    e) Launch the Microsoft Installer Cleanup and look for instances of Adobe Installer 2.0. Have them removed. Optionally, have it remove other Adobe stuff that may have been left over from CS4.
    f) Try to install CS4
    Note: The cleanup utilities will not remove anything physically, only clean out the installer, so they pose no danger to your system. You will only lose the ability to uninstall those programs from Add or Remove Programs.
