Bringing the footage and the Comp from Photoshop into After Effects.

hay guys I am running After Effects CC on Maverick OS and I have a Compositon in Photoshop that has video in it and it works perfectly but when i try to bring in the Comp to after effects, it only give me a still frame of the video footage and not the whole Comp. Then after it imports it gives me an error that my Quicktime is not up to date however it is the latest one is there a work around? thanks Best wishes, Ivey

AE does no longer support PS video. This feature has been removed due to technical issues. You have to render the video from PS to a clip or image sequence and import that into AE.

Problem with sound when import from Premiere into After Effects

Hi!
I imported a sequence from a Premiere Pro project using File -> Import -> Adobe Premiere Project...
The video in the sequence showed up in the After Effects project as a composition. However, the composition did not include the sound from the sequence! Is there a way to keep the sound from the sequence upon import into After Effects?
Thanks

i`m sorry about the screenshot size, but i could only upload pics with 605 px width.
Nevertheless it seems that you saved my day. looks like it was all about the scale to framesize thing.
thank you so much!!!!

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.

Color change when transferring image from Photoshop to After Effects

Hi everyone,
I am trying to import a logo from photoshop CS6 to After Effects CS6, however the black color within the image changes to a dark grey when it gets into AE. I noticed on the color picker in PS that it changes to the same grey color that is used as the replacement web safe color. Therefore I'm assuming AE is just converting everything into web safe colors.
Is there something I need to change in AE to allow me to import the image and keep all the original non web safe photoshop colors?
Sorry if this is a very basic question thats been answered before, I couldn't seem to find the answer within these forums.
Many thanks in advance,
Spencer

This has nothing to do with web safe. You are making a mess of color management/ color profiles. You have soemthing enabled in PS and since AE by default doesn't use any color managemnt and just assumes plain sRGB, the colors change. There's no easy explanations here, but you have soem reading up to do about color management in general and also specifically how Photoshop corrects for monitor profiles and how to use the Proof Preview to compensate for that or how to establish a workflwo that mimicsa AE's "unmanaged" colorspace.

Bringing Premiere ultra keyed footage into after effects with key intact

It there a way to bring in footage I keyed using Premiere ultra into After effects? I much prefer the ultra keyer over anything native to After Effects CS5.5. If not, how do I export and keep intact the aplha channels from the keyed footage into after effects? Thirdly, if I have to, how do I remiove the black background I get as a result of a default quick time movie file?

You can not export a clip with alpha from PPRO.
Easiest way is just doing the key in Keylight - AEFX ( which is far more powerful and flexible than Ultra Key . As good as it is, it has its limits)

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.

Random sync problems importing aaf into After Effects from Avid

The source footage is 23.98 H.264. The Avid is importing DNX36 and editing in a 23.98 timeline. When the AAF is brought into After Effects the clips are all there but the sync drifts and in some cases is randomly more out of sync than other clips.

Thanks Rick and Mylenium
Thanks that worked!
I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
Its a shame AE doesn't pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
Cheers

Hi Rammohan,
You cannot use OPEN DATASET to transfer data from application server to presentation server.
You can do the following :
<b>Do 1st point in BACKGROUND</b>
1. Read the data file from application server into an internal table using OPEN DATASET
<b>Do 2nd point in Foreground</b>
2. Once you get the data into an internal table, then use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to download it on presentation server
You cannot use the above 2 point together in Background because its not possible. Hence you need program it partially in background and partially in foreground.
Best regards,
Prashant

XDCam footage exported from FCP to After Effects and back to FCP stutters

I need help. Here is the situation:
XDCam footage imported into Final Cut with the Sony Import Software 25 mpbs. Final Cut sequence is set up to match all settings. The footage is placed into the sequence fine, I can edit with no problems everything works great. The problems start when I export from Final Cut to bring it into After Effects 7.0.
I drag the imported footage onto the comp icon to create a new comp with the footage settings. The footage is being interpreted as upper field first. I render out the footage using the HDV codec that matches my sequence in Final Cut. When I import the rendered movie into Final Cut it causes the whole system to bog way down. Not just dropped frames but a serious amount of bog down, I even get the spinning Beachball for a few seconds while its trying to play. It should be noted that when I place the rendered movie in the sequence it doesn't seem to need any rendering. Now, here's the weird part, when I play the rendered movie using just the quicktime app. It plays just fine. The problem only seems to be with Final Cut.
any suggestions?

Hi,
I was having the same problem. After studying the mov as rendered by AE it would seem that there's something odd about the framsize. It would seem that AE's HDV preset is incompatible with FCP for some reason. There's probably a perfectly reason tech explanation for this but I don't know it.
I was told by a friend to always render 'intermediate codec' which I intend to do in future.
As a short-term measure just run the files through Compressor, that did the trick for me.

Copy and Paste Images from Photoshop

I can INSERT psd, jpg, (any) image files into Dreamweaver. I
can COPY text from Word or Internet. I can COPY images off of
Internet...
...but I can NOT copy from Photoshop (jpg or psd) into
Dreamweaver. Simply does not copy. Paste is not an option. Grayed
out. Hmmm. Any ideas?

@Michael Fesser
I expect that upon entering Ctrl+V or Paste at an insertion
point in Dreamweaver, to be greeted with the "Optimize for Web
& Devices" dialogue box, after which I input the appropriate
settings (a jpg, gif, or png file is created), the image would
appear in the document just as though I inserted it via myriad
other conventional methods.
I'm taking the Lynda tutorial (Dreamweaver CS4 Essentials)
and following along EXACTLY, and am unable to recreate the copy and
paste from Photoshop.
Also, see this Adobe Dreamweaver Help & Support Tutorial
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/dreamweaver/articles/lrvid4043_dw.html
Go down about halfway to: Cutting and Pasting from Photoshop
into Dreamweaver
I cannot recreate what is shown here either.
@toastieo
Yes, the Save For Web is how I've done things all along. Now
I'm taunted with the prospect of doing a quick edit and insert with
copy & paste, and it doesn't work for me! I guess I can live
without it, but I would have rather been blissful in my ignorance
of the possibility!

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

How to load the data from informatica into bw & how to report the data

Hi friends,
how to load the data from informatica into bw & how to report the data
using cognos.(i.e how to access the data in sap bw using cognos 8 BI suite).
Thanks,

Inorder to report BW data into Cognos you can extract data from using Open Hub to the DB table from which Cognos reads.
