Brush in and away effects.

In Aperture 3 i don't get the option of brush in an effect or brush it away. I can't sort out why this option is not available to me.
Can anybody help.
Best
Frank

Sorry, I sorted it out. I just had to reprocess the masters to be able to use the Aperture 3 adjustment tools.

How can we improve the Roto Brush tool and Refine Matte effect?

If you use the Roto Brush tool and/or Refine Matte effect, let us know how you're using it and what you'd like to see improved.
(We'd especially appreciate it if you gave feedback after you've had a chance to learn how to use the features and try them out on some real work.)
Normally, we like to encourage feedback through the feature-request form, but in this case we'd like to get a more public conversation going.

Hello,
I've been using the Roto Brush and so far I am very impressed. It is much more stable than I anticipated and gets me pretty far with much less work. I'd say I can get my shots 85-90% of the way done with the Roto Brush tools, in a fraction of the time. Bravo to Adobe for such a great tool. I have however, hit one major snag. I am part of a pipeline and I need to render out my mattes and pass them up the chain. When I look at my Roto Brush precomp it is beautiful, the motion blur is perfect and the alpha looks identical when I check that out. However when I render out my tiff sequence and pull it back in to check it, there is bleed in the motion blur. I'm not sure this is a roto brush problem because when I look at the alpha of the roto brush layer and the rendered matte they appear identical. Any suggestions on how to get the bleed out of the blur?
Thanks,
Danielle

Problems with Dinamic Link between Premiere pro CC and After Effects CC

I'm having serious problems with dinamic link between premiere pro and after effects, really serious problems that have 2 big projects in trouble (a documentary and a video clip) and I had to redo all the work pipeline to the consumer.
The documentary for a spanish TV was made on CC 2014 and a video clip was made on CC. Both of them with a lot of after effects composition in the premiere pro timeline. Render freeze, a lot of playback issues, and many more problems... Until I decided to remove these links between premiere and after effects and render out all the after effects compositions one by one and insert as clips in premiere pro. 1 week working away with back and fourth.
I've got a huge workstation:
i7 4990
32Gb ram
GTX780 3gb
256 gb system ssd
2 Tb project storage
*All my hardware and software are update.
I know that a lot of folks are on the same huge problem and I want to ask everyone:
How do you save this?
What is your pipeline?
Are there any solution?
Best practice to use dinamic link in a huge project?
Thanks,

Thank You, Jim -
Unfortunately that specifically did not work.
Based on another comment sent to me, here is what did.
In PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > New After Effects Composition
In AECC
From that composition created from PPro, I imported the project (aep) initially created in AECC from another team member. Saved the file.
Back in PProCC
File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Composition

What brush settings and application style would mimic this advertisement?

i'm trying to re-paint this advertisement for practice in photoshop. unfortunately, all the methods i've tried don't achieve the effect. i first thought it was achieved by building up layers of transparency with a brush with slightly soft edges, but that didn't look right. i also can't achieve anything like this with the mixer brush.
the look is very organic and digital at the same time...does anyone have any ideas as to what brush settings and application order might be on the face or how i could achieve this effect?

Hello! Set Angle Jitter to Direction, under shape dynamics in the brushes panel.

Help with gradient and 'ghost effect'

Hello. I created this image many years ago and I have forgotten how I did it.
I now want to create the same effect with this image ..
The brown is #a03506 - I have tried in vain to replicate what I did. Radial gradient? I just can't remember.
Can anyone help me please?
Regards - Paul

It's a little hard to tell what the original image looks like, but I'll give you some ideas of what you can do.
I'm assuming you want something like this:
If so, you need to turn the image into a layer.
Double click the thumbnail of the image in the Layers panel.
This opens the New Layer dialog box.
You don't have to do anything here. Just click OK. The image is now its own layer.
Click at the bottom of the Layers panel on the Add Layer Mask icon.
This adds a rectangle next to the image in the Layers panel. This rectangle is the layer mask. Anything you put in this rectangle will hide parts of the image.
Make sure the four "corners" of the layer mask are chosen, NOT the four corners of the image. This means that what you are about to do will affect only the image. (Don't worry about screwing up your image. Your working on the mask, not the image.)
Now go and choose the Gradient tool from the Tools panel.
Now, take the Gradient tool and position it over the image. For the ghost image I showed at the top of this post, I put the tool in the center and then dragged down to the bottom of the image. Look carefully and you can see the little line to the right of the door.
Release the mouse. The image should be ghosted.
Now, look at the Layers panel. See how the rectangle for the layer mask goes from white to black? That's because you drew a gradient on the mask. And anywhere there was black, you can't see the image and anywhere there is white you can. And there is change in opacity as the rectangle goes from white to black.
I like to teach people that the layer mask is like a dirty window. Where the window is clean, you can see through it to see the image. Where the window is black, you can't see the image. And anything in between lets you see a percentage of the image.
If you want a different effect, you can change the gradient shape. With the gradient tool still chosen, go to the top of the window and choose another gradient. For instance, radial. Then drag on the image making sure the layer mask is still chosen in the Layers panel.
This will change the appearance of the layer mask and the effect on the image.
You can use gradients or brushes or anything on the layer mask. Just make sure it is chosen and not the image or you'll be screwing up the image, not the mask.
Let us know if this is what you need.

Issue with Dynamic Link with Premiere CC and After Effects

I'm having a strange and annoying issue with Dynamic linked clips in Premiere CC:
When I render or export my timeline the progress will stall when it hits a dynamic linked clip. It will stay stalled until I click the After Effects application and make it the active window. Once that happens the render/export resumes at normal speed.
This is annoying as I can't start a render and walk away or work on different windows, I have to babysit all the renders to make sure they go through.
Has anybody experienced this and know of any solutions?
I'm running the latest version of Premiere (7.2.1) and After Effects 12.2.0.52 on Mavericks 10.9.1 with a GTX 770 Video Card.

Does it still pause if AE is closed completely? I often experience slower AME renders from Premiere over dynamic link material when AE is open. Closing AE speeds things up. Go figure.

Trouble with brush, gradient and filling

Hello
Few days ago i've found a problem with using brush, gradient and filling layer. Each time i started a new document, filled it with a solid color, it looked ok. But when i added a new layer, added soft brush on canvas and changed the mode to any mode, the result looked very pixelated. I tried with all brush i have and found it just happened with all brush which have outer glow style ( like soft basic brush, lighting...etc..) . It was the same when i used gradient, filled a selection and changed the mode of this layer. You can see it on screenshots below:
Add brush with normal mode:
Overlay mode
Apply gradient with normal mode
Soft light mode
Add more brush with Soft light mode
I've used photoshop for years and never seen such a case before. Any idea is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

"Pixilated" may be the wrong term. If you're talking about the appearance of bands in the data, perhaps you're referring to Posterization.
What bit depth is your document (e.g., 8 bits/channel? 16 bits/channel)? What color space (profile) is it in?
If indeed you're talking about the posterization, look into your Dithering settings. Dithering, when enabled, will mix pixels of adjacent colors to very effectively hide the appearance of posterization.
The following are two gradients, one rendered without [ ] Dither enabled, and one with, then contrast-enhanced with a Curves layer to show the difference in the appearance of posterization more clearly.

Difference between photoshop and illustrator effects?

Under the effects menu in cs5, what is the difference between photoshop and illustrator effects? when do you use the photoshop ones?
Thank you.

The Photoshop effects are copies of similar effects from Photoshop. As such, they can only be applied to raster art, such as that edited in Photoshop. When you apply a Photoshop effect the Illustrator art you apply it to is rasterized in the background and the effect is applied to the rasterized version of the art. If you expand the appearance of anything with a Photoshop effect on it it will be rasterized. The other effects retain all or part of the vector art. When you expand the effect or save a PDF at least some of the original vector art will remain as vectors, although some effects (Drop Shadow, Blur, Feather, Inner Glow, etc.) to add rasterized art to the file.
The rasterization is non-damaging, in that the original vector, type, or other objets remain fully editable. If you remove the effect the rasterization goes away. There is no dialogue for rasterization resolution in the effect; you set that in Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings.

Can't 'brush in' and 'brush out'

When I go on 'enhance' for example - when I click the little cog wheel to brush out from the areas I do not want enhanced (or color or whatever) the 'brush in ' ' brush away', is greyed out. It was there earlier, because I have used it before.
I even took fresh pic's with my X100 (RAF) and my D700 (NEF), and imported them. Still the same deal. No matter what I try (reboot computer, try JPEGS, shut down Aperture and open again), it is still not working. Does anybody have any suggestions. Very frustrating, because I leave in a couple of weeks for an 8 month photographic trip to Cambodia, Laos and Burma. I will have a lot of pic's to wade through in the evenings, and if this aspect of Aperture is not working, it would be very limiting.
Thanks in advance
Sutto

Hello Sutto,
what is your Aperture Version? if you did not upgrade to the latest version 3.2.2, then try if the update solves your problem.
I tried several adjustments, and with all brushes I had both "brush in" and "brush away" avalable. Perhaps you have a corrupted preference file - that sometimes causes GUI elements to be missing or displayed incorrectly.
Try the "delete the user preferences" outlined in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Deleting the preferences is a safe operation, Aperture will recreate this file on the next launch. You may loose some preference settings, but all the export and editing presets you configured will not be affected by this.

How to simulate the underwater and fire effect with Java3D

Hi...My project is a Java 3D game and it need to have underwater and fire effect, but I dont know how to simulate them with Java3D best..Can anyone give me some ways to make them..thank..

You'll have to describe what effect you are looking for. Are you trying to model the surface of the water or do you want your scene to appear to be under the water? A surface can be done similar to a terrain but with transparency added to the geometry. Underwater effects would be tough if you want to distort the view of the scene. You might be able to get away with changing the field of view to be wider or rendering each frame yourself.
For fire effects, are you looking for animated flames? If so there are a few options.
1. Find a series of images of a fire and apply them to an OrientedShape3D through animation. This would be easiest.
2. Build a particle system with fuzzy objects (procedural texturing). This would be much harder but more realistic.

Erasing portions of brush strokes that have effects

I have made some brush strokes and applied the 'gaussian blur' effect to them. I want to erase the portions of the brushstroke that extend over the outline of the drawing. I have tried the 'expand appearance' command but after doing so it will not let me use the eraser on the selected object. Not sure what to do! Very frustrated- I would appreciate any help, thanks.

Basically, you're thinking of Illustrator brushes as if they were raster or pixel based like they are in Photoshop. They are not. You can not simply erase the "overspray" areas outside the keyline. That's just not how Illustrator brushes work.
You would be better served by either A) using shapes and filling them with a gradient rather than using brushes at all. Or B) add a clipping mask to hide the overspray appearance of the brushes.
The help files will explain Clipping Masks further. Using the brush+mask method will easily double or triple the amount of work needed to color any piece. Not to mention, eventually cause the app to get a bit slower becuase it will have to redraw all teh brush strokes as you add new ones. It's just not an efficient way of working much of the time if you want hard edges on shapes.
Essentially, you're expecting raster-based results in a vector-based application. You need to reevaluate your workflow.
Of course, you could always take your vector keyline into Photoshop and paint color there in the manner you are attempting. That's what Photoshop does.

How do i add filter to just brush strokes and paint fill not pencil.

Sorry it is kind of hard to explain in the description.
What i want to know is if i can pretty much just select the brush strokes and paint fill on a layer and have the pencil lines left alone.
I want to filter, then blur the brush strokes and paint fill on the layer but keep the pencil lines sharp, i have been doing paint fill and brush stroked on a different layer than the pencil lines but this takes ages because i have to draw the picture out twice everytime using the brush strokes to go along the pencil lines so i can fill them in with color, if i could blur them on same layer without effecting pencil lines then i could just fill the pencil lines with paint bucket instead of redarwing the lines with brush tool if this makes sence.
Here is a picture to show what im trying to achieve
The pencil lines are on a different layer to brush strokes

if you convert to a movieclip (right click>convert to symbol>movieclip) whatever you want to filter, you can filter it independent of other objects.

Nope. Be a great feature. For that I use FotoMagico after exporting JPEG's from LR.

How do I get more effects in my action box? I am only showing a few, like "Bottom Borders, Losing Weight, Resize and Crop, and Special Effects. And they do not list but a few effects. When I have watched the tutorials, they are showing a long list of effects in the action box. (with a side space bar) I do not. When I have clicked on the little arrow at top, and clicked "Load Actions", a box comes up, but it is blank,saying "no items match your search". I'm lost! If someone could help, it would be much appreciated! I would like to start using this.
Thank you.

I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

Hello,
As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
Thank you for any help.
