Bounding Boxes (Importing Photoshop to After Effects)

Hey, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question and it seems like (hopefully) it's a one click easy fix but here goes.
When I import Photoshop files into After Effects the bounding boxes around the orignal grouped layers are the size of the project itself. To clarify the pre-existing layer "groups" in Photoshop that were converted to "compositions" in After Effects upon importing, all have bounding boxes that extend out to the dimensions of the entire project. When I click into the composition the layers have bounding boxes that mold to the layer size. I need the group/composition bounding box to extend to only the dimensions of the subsequent layers not the entire project. When I was using After Effects CS6 it reduced the bouding box of my group/compositions to the minimalist possible extent automatically. Now that I've been forced over to After Effects CC (on account that I use creative cloud) the bounding boxes are no longer conforming to the groups in the same manner.
I of course can find away around this by merging the groups and what not but I don't want to have to do that and I'm hoping there a little freaking check box or something that I'm not aware of. I don't know if this matters but I am using Windows 7 64bit. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yeah this problem never got officially resolved. For some reason they changed this in CC version of After Effects but as you said it was never like that in previous versions (at least it wasn't in CS6).
There are a couple of 'work-around' options for this problem but as I'm no expert I couldn't say whether these 'options' are the best way to handle this problem or not, just the best that I can come up with in my relatively limited experience and there are pros and cons to each... It also depends on what type of project you're working on. Anyway:
1) Go into your composition/group in After Effects and use the "Crop Region of Interest" function. This will readjust the bounding box to that composition but you'll need to resituate your composition so that it's in the right place as cropping the region of interest stupidly seems to moves it.
2) Create Null Objects and parent one of them to each moving composition. Situate all Null Object layers above your composition layers so each one is clickable
3) Create a special "group" in the Photoshop file you're working in and -copy- all of the layers in that Photoshop file into the new group that you just created. Merge all of the layers together that are meant to be a single moving object in After Effects. This will leave your original layers intact and when you import the PSD file into After Effects you'll have the merged layers you need that will automatically have appropriate bounding boxes.

  • Final cut to photoshop to after effects back to final cut problem

    Hello there,
    I shall explain my problem.
    I am working with three different programs. Finla cut 7, photoshop, and after effects.
    I have taken a jpeg still from final cut to work in photoshop.
    In phtoshop I have layered a project to work in after effects to make an animation.
    The animation is then exported back from after effects into final cut.
    When I do this I realise that the dimensions of the animation differs from the original sequence from where the still was taken.
    I work with PAL.
    The still from the sequence is 768 x 576. I create a still using 'export- Using quick time conversion'. I do not understand why the image obtained does not have the format 720x576 as it says the film sequences have in final cut pro settings.
    When I edit it in photoshop, I create an image that has the 'film-video' setting but the image still does not match the frame. I have noticed there was the setting PAL1/DV square pixel but it still does not match the original format after editing in after effect.
    Why is this?
    Thank you

    Hello mylenium,
    Thank you very much for the link.
    I now manage to have the same image size when working in final cut.
    I hope you do not mind me asking another question. I seem to lose a little bit of resolution. Could this be because i transfer an image worked onto photoshop to after effect and then back to final cut?
    I have changed the file dimension before importing it into after effect (from 768x576 to 720x576) and i export the after effect file using quick time in the setting, thus reimporting a .mov file into final cut.
    Thx
    Best

  • Bridge not importing files into After Effects

    From AE I go to File > Browse in Bridge...
    Bridge opens up and I find the file I want.  If I double click the file, an AI for instance, it opens the file within Illustrator.  I could find, double click it, and it opens in Photoshop.
    I feel as though I'm missing how to import files into After Effects by using bridge.
    I'm running CC 2014 on a Win 7 machine.

    Probably an issue with whatever created the files in the first place. WMV doesn't have Alpha, but can have multiple streams... anyway, AE is crap at dealing with such stuff, so convert it using an external tool like Handbrake or whatever...

  • Use Videos Created in Photoshop within After Effects - Possible?

    Hello, newbie here. Can i use create video files in Photoshop CC and then import them in After Effects CC as video files?
    I create video files in Photoshop CC using Photoshop CC's timeline* and save the video project in Photoshop as TIFF or PSD.
    When i import these TIFFs oder PSDs to After Effects, they will only appear as still images, whatever settings i use on import (footage vs. layers). I don't see how to have the TIFFs or PSDs playing in After Effects as a video.
    Is it even possible to bring a video project from Photoshop to AE as video and not as a still image?
    I understand that the alternative would be to render the Photoshop video as MP4 and bring that MP4 into After Effects. I would prefer to avoid the MP4 route though.
    Thanks!

    Dave, thanks - i import now the PSD file as "Sequence" and as "Composition - Retain Layer Size" and then i click "Create new Composition from Selection".
    Then i get a timeline which shows the correct running time of the video created in Photoshop. All the layers and tracks are there. I also see either an image from the video or a black screen.
    But i cannot play it. I can't see different frames of the video - neither by dragging the timeline marker nor by clicking "Play/Pause".
    That's certainly an awkward newbie problem - seeing your video, but not able to even play it. But i even watched through the full length of three extremely detailed Adobe/Lynda video tutorials (on the official Adobe site) and didn't get closer to an answer why the video doesn't play in AE.
    I have to admit that on importing i get a Quicktime error message. I also studied the official Adobe page regarding that error message and didn't understand it. But i know that when i 'had* Quicktime installed previously, it ruined my system and my mood.
    So if you have any quick hint, that would be great. Thanks!

  • Photoshop and After effects

    Hi all,
    I am using Photoshop to create some elements to use in an After Effects compostion. I save the file as a PSD and import it into After Effects as editable layers. Is there a way to allow the imported file to update if I make changes and save it again in Photoshop? I feel like I have been able to do that in the past with Photoshop to Premiere PSDs so I figured After Effects should have the same functionality. Anyone know? Thanks!
    MODs please help me move this post if there is a better place, thanks!

    You need to ask that in the After Effects forum.
    Photoshop isn't involved in updating contents in After Effects.

  • Anchor points: Photoshop to After Effects

    Hello!
    I have imported some shape layers from photoshop into after effects. I would like to make them swing in three dimensional space, so I am trying to change the anchor point to the top of shape so that it will swing from that point. I cannot see the anchor point as you would with text, and it seems to be rotating around some random place further down. Perhaps this photoshop layer is rotating around the centre of the photoshop composition?
    What would be the fastest way to rectify this situation. There are 24 shapes but I will remake these shapes in AE if that is going to be the fastest way to make it happen.
    Thank you!

    Hi Trill:
    Use the Pan Behind (Anchor Point) Tool (‘y” is the keyboard shortcut) to click and drag the Anchor Point to where you need it to be for your animation.
    This behaves very much like moving the Anchor Point while using Free Transform in Photoshop. Also, it will retain the registration (or placement) of your layers relative to how they were stacked and aligned in Photoshop by changing both the layer Anchor Point coordinates and Position coordinates at the same time.
    Assuming that you’re importing your layered Photoshop document as a Composition, the Anchor Point for each layer defaults to one of two locations:
    The center of the respective layer if imported as “Composition – Retain Layer Size”
    The center of the Photoshop document Canvas Size if imported as “Composition”
    From what you’ve described, it sounds like you’re choosing as “Composition”.  Although, you’ll need to use the Pan Behind (Anchor Point) Tool layer by layer regardless to achieve what you’ve going for.
    There’s a behavior in AE that you could take advantage of to speed this up if you have pre-positioned your Photoshop layers such that the offset for the Anchor Point value change and the Position value change are the same for each layer.  If that’s the case, you could select all the layers in After Effects and when you change the values for one layer After Effects will change the like values for all the currently selected layers as well. Since it looks like each of your layers currently has the PS Canvas Size, this might work right now.

  • Can I use my current CS6 Photoshop and After Effects plug-ins if I join the Creative Cloud?

    I am interested in getting a Creative Cloud membership but am wondering if I will still have access to all of my CS6 plug-ins for Photoshop and After Effects?

    you can still use your cs6 versions along side the cc versions.

  • Import 50fps in After Effects cs6

    Hi all! I have some AVCHD files shooted at 50fps and I want to use it to do somw slow-mo effects. The problem is when I import this footages in AE in the interpret footage settings AE read the files as normal 25fps files...so I cheked in Windows and I think the problem might be there cuz Windows in the info panel of the files say: 25fps. I'm sure the files are 50fps cuz I shooted by myselfe...where can be the problem? ty
    UPDATE: The problem seems only with interlaced record modes...in progressive modes windows recognize the 50fps...but why with interlaced no?

    Our Panasonic AF101 states that it can record at 50fps (which it can), but the problem is, that it cannot output at 50fps. It encapsulates 50 discreet frames imbedded as a field in a 1080/50i data stream.
    Try this suggestion:
    1) Shoot at 1080/25P
    2) Use Variable Frame Rate of 50FPS
    3) Capture directly to Samurai device
    4) Import file into after effects and interpret as 25FPS seperate fileds - Upper field first
    5) Create new composition from footage - then double the frame rate of the composition (leave footage as interpreted above)
    6) Render this comp out to a TIFF sequence
    7) Import TIFF sequence into new composition with a Frame Rate of 25FPS - this now plays back at half speed, smoothly as the above process give me 50 discreet frames.
    and see if you get the 50 discreet frames. dont worry about the first few steps, that is just the devices I use, try taking it from step 4.
    Hope it helps,
    Pierre
    I also see Dave's answer, and he is also right. The 50i would play back as 25 interlaced fields. What is the issue with the files that are you trying to slow down? what is not working properly?

  • How come the "do not dispose" option in photoshop doesn't have any effect on my stopmotion animations when I import them in After Effects?

    Hi,
    i'm trying to create an animation in photoshop. It's a sort of spiral shape that appears bit by bit.
    I'm drawing different frames, but each frame is build onto the previous frame. So i don't have to redraw to part that came before the new part:
    So first i drew all the different frames (yes they have transparent backgrounds). Then I selected all layers and went to window > animation.Here I made frames from all the layers and converted it to a frame animation. here I selected all frames and selected " do not dispose" because I want all the previous frames to stay visible when a new frame appears.
    Then  I did export >render video
    file options:
    image sequence: photoshop
    range: all frames
    render opt: straight
    frame rate: 20fps
    Now I get all the different layers as PSD files. After this I imported the files in after effects:
    file>import >multiple files 
    import as: footage, photoshop sequence, merged layers
    this gives me a single animated file with all the frames behind each other. But the "do not dispose" option has no effect here. I just shows all the different frames, but it disposes all previous frames. Instead of this as a final frame:
    I get this:
    Can someone help me with this? I'm kinda new to animation.

    An image sequence is an image sequence is an image sequence. AE does not care for specifics of PS' internal animation system and that is that. I'm also not clear why you choose to import as multiple files. A simple image sequence surely would do the trick?!

  • Imported Smart Objects from Photoshop to After Effects

    When I import an Illustrator file into After Effects, I have the option to use Continous Rasterize on that layer. However, when I paste that AI file into PS, as a Smart Object, and then import that layer as footage into AE, I do not have the option to turn on Continous Rasterize in AE. It's a Smart Object that links back to the original AI file. Shouldn't I have Continous Rasterize available to me? Do I need to set my project settings differently in PS?

    Shouldn't I have Continous Rasterize available to me?
    No. A layer is just a layer is just a layer. That's all AE sees from the PSD file - the rasterized layer preview. It doesn't know or care where the file originated. If you must use AI content with CR, then import it natively. Whatever you do in PS with your SO wouldn't come over to AE, anyway, once you clicked the layer switch. Read up on AE's rendering order in the help.

  • PAL Widescreen format between photoshop and After Effects

    Hi, I wonder if someone else has bumped into the problem I have and has a solution. I am working with Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro(all CS3 levels) to create a project using still and moving images. I am using PAL widescreen (16:9) format for the first time so have cropped my still images in Photoshop to 1024 x 576 pixels. Starting a new project in After Effects I chose PAL/Widescreen and set the resolution to 1024x576. When I bring in my images and drop them to the timeline they have the same height as the AE screen but are significantly shorter than the displayed 1024 pixel size. If I drop the images into Premiere they will size to 1024 x 576. Am I doing something drastically wrong here ?

    Just to add to this, I am confused over exactly what is happening inside
    After Effects with regard to interpreting PAL footage!
    When you go to the Compositions Settings dialogue box there are two Presets
    on the drop down list for non-square pixels; PAL D1/DV and PAL D1/DV
    Widescreen.
    Both comps are 720 x 576 pixels.
    However when you go to the drop down list for Pixel Aspect Ratio the two
    options there for non-square pixels are PAL D1/DV (1.09) and PAL D1/DV
    Widescreen (1.46)
    According to my calculations:
    PAL 4:3 in square pixels = 768 x 576 (768 / 4 * 3 = 576)
    Doing the maths the Pixel Aspect Ratio rounds up to 1.07 not 1.09
    768 / 720 = 1.06666666667
    PAL 16:9 in square pixels = 1024 x 576 (1024 /16 * 9 = 576)
    Again doing the maths the Pixel Aspect Ratio rounds up to 1.42 not 1.46
    1024 / 720 = 1.42222222222
    If the Pixel Aspect Ratios given are correct then the Width of both
    Compositions should be 704 not 720!
    768 / 704 = 1.0909090909 which rounds up to 1.09
    1024 / 704 = 1.454545454545 which rounds up to 1.46
    Using the preset comp Width with the preset Pixel Aspect Ratios doesn't seem
    to add up or am I missing something fundamental here?
    Perhaps I should just import the footage using whatever Pixel Aspect Ratio
    into a PAL comp with square pixels and then just use the fit to comp command
    to make sure it really does fit!

  • Problem importing .vpe into After Effects CC 2014

    I am having Issues importing .vpe files exported from Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.1.0 - most recent update to date) into After Effects CC 2014 (13.0.2.3 - latest update to date) on Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.4. After a (lengthy) couple of chats to Adobe customer support I was advised to update both programs to fix my original issue outlined in this thread VPE issue and this has half way fixed my issues (The export from Photoshop now works properly).
    The problem I have now is that when importing the .vpe file to After Effects I get an error:
    "Unable to execute script at line 107. Function newLayer.transform[sel].setValue is undefined".
    The process creates a composition and a folder which is meant to contain the .png's. Inside the composition, the one imported .png is present, but no parent or camera layers.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Is the bug present on Windows? Does anyone know if this will be fixed in the update forthcoming? It isn't listed as one of the stand out bug fixes.
    Thanks
    Simon

    To be honest, its been so long that i'd actually forgotten whether the issue was fixed, just went through the process here to check...
    That'll be a no then, thanks Adobe.
    We're getting kinda tired of the Beta nature of the CC suite here in my department at work. Our internet speeds are currently not great and so having to download so many updates is a bit of an issue. Is there any other way to download updates remotely? That is to say on a different machine than the install of After Effects? Could I perhaps download update files at home, put them on a USB drive and bring them in?
