Build Plugin without Exiting After Effects

Hi, I'm working in Visual C++ 2010 Express. I would like to be able to rebuild my plug-in without having to restart AE CS5. In the SDK Documentaion it mentions that you can do this by purging, however I have not been able to get anything to work. I have deleteed the effect and layer before purging and started a new project. Once the effect is applied, no matter what I do I am not able to replace the file, even through the windows explorer.
There was another discussion here that talked about being able to do it while debuging by pausing the debugger and then changeing the code, but I don't think that the Express version is able to do that.
Am I missing something?

hi jesse, long time no see.
in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3117259#3117259
it seems "edit and continue" is just not supported for 64bit in vs2010.
i googled that to see if it's still true.
most of the links just noted the problem, but the following link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2795795/cant-edit-and-continue-when-using-visual-studio -2010-on-a-64-bit-machine-app-t
just might have a solution.
i hope this helps.
i'm still using vc2008 so... ha ha!

Plugin 64bit for after effects

Hello
I have several problems with many plugins for After Effects. I read that the problem is that CS5 only work on updated versions. It 's a problem with Adobe, or should I contact suppliers plugin??

After Effects CS5 plugins must be updated to 64 bit versions to be used. For third party plugins, this is the responsibility of the third party companies that make the plugins, not Adobe.
You can view a list of third party plugins that have been upgraded for CS5 here. To acquire the updates, follow the links to individual vendors.

Run after effects script without opening after effects?

I have a project as a template. I want to run a script that injects itself with the project and replaces videos and text depending on the contents of my script file. So far so good, but can I run the script without opening after effects GUI? I use this now: afterfx -r c:\script_path\example_script.jsx. Is it considered best practice to have after effects GUI up and running if going to do many script changes on the template? Basically I am looking for the same functionality as aerender with no GUI.

To my knowledge scripts cannot change projects without the program actually running. Scripts merely call reflections of the internal commands which only are available when the program runs in full. Perhaps some of that has changed in AE CC, but I'm not aware of it.

How to import original clips edited in After Effects into Adobe Premiere, without the After Effects

What is the quickest and easiest way to bring clips that were edited within after effects into adobe premiere? I just want the original clip as it is cut, without any of the after effects manipulation. I am trying to gather the cuts of a green screen project together that was compiled and edited within Adobe After Effects, so they can be rekeyed. I want to detach all effects work, and just have a straight green screen cut of the original files. Each cut though, is its own compilation. Simply importing to a new sequence doesn't seem to be the answer because I first have to uncheck many effects to find the original clip buried beneath layers of mattes and various effects. I have probably 400 different cuts, and currently my workflow is super slow just searching for the original clip in after effects, looking for the time code, then matching the original clip and timecode into Premiere. Is there a faster an easier workflow?
Thank you

I just want the original clip as it is cut, without any of the after effects manipulation.
Then you need the original clip.

It's what you may need to do, though. Unless you know exactly where the clips are on the hard drive.

How to get plugin file for After Effects CC 2014 (just bought creative cloud)

I just bought Creative Cloud, installed it, and then went to the Adobe site to install After Effects, since I couldn't find a way to do this on the CC menu. I have Mac OSx. I downloaded the After Effects CC 2014 app and it installed it onto my desktop. So when I go to applications>adobe there is no After Effects file and no plugins. And in the menu within After Effects there is no listing of the Effects & presets. I tried searching various things like "curves" and nothing showed up except for "contents"......any idea on how to solve this?

If you are telling us that you could not find After Effects in the Creative Cloud app then your system does not meet the minimum system requirements. If you somehow found a disk image and managed to run it and it gave you the option to choose Desktop when installing then you probably don't have a light copy of CC 2014, because it should only be installed using the CC app. Mac OSx tells us nothing. You could be on Lion, or Leopard, or Mountain Lion or even something else.
Tell us more about your system, show us what you get when and if you get AE to launch (sounds like you're looking inside the disk image for an app and it's not there), and give us the exact steps or error messages that you are seeing when you try and launch AE. BTW, plug-ins are only accessible from inside the timeline or the comp window when the App is running.

Building Virtual Sets with After Effects?

A friend and I are wanting to build a virtual set using images created from Photoshop CS5, and then taking them in to Adobe After Effects to create the virtual framework for the sets. We found a video on youtube that led us to believe that we have the capability to do exactly what we are asking for. So I suppose my question is there any tutorial or information about how I can make the 3-dimensional compositing of my photoshopped walls? Please please help! Below is the video of what we are trying to do, but the original creator didn't want to create the 2nd part of the tutorial.

The biggest problem you'll face with virtual sets is matching the perspective. An equally large elephant in the room would be matching any camera movement. Even a simpla pan can totally destroy the illustion.
Start off simple with a locked off camera and something in the shot that you can use to match perspective. Don't zoom. Don't pan. If you need more than one angle then cut between positions.
Planing is the key. I'll say that again. Planning is the key. An example of your created set would help us give you some advice on how to create the illustion. It would also be helpful to know if you know anything about keying, light wraps, and color correction. All of these skills are required if you are going to make a virtual set work well.

Where do I find the plugins to run After Effects CC?

Where is the Warp Stabilizer plugin located in After Effects CS6 program files?

I need to delete the plugin temporarily to gain access to my project because it constantly crashes on start up due to the Warp Stabilizer.

NOt sure if you can actually remove it,but it should be in the plugins/extensions sub-folder inside the AE install folder. Anyway, try the usual troubleshooting first before taking such a radical step that may destroy AE and require a reinstall. Flush the caches, open the project with capslock and remove the effect.

Corsair Obsidian 750D Computer Cases
Corsair RM850
Asus X99-DELUXE/U3.1
Intel Core i7-5930K CPU
Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 32gb
Cooler Master V8 GTS
PNY GeForece GTX 970 Video Card

Anything I am missing, should change or way off base about?

case - if you want, silent cases are nice. such as the fractal design refine R5.
psu - if you are going corsair, consider hx series and above.
cpu cooler - might want to look at quieter mfg/models. noctua, phanteks, bequiet are a few.
storage - might want to get another samsung pro ssd instead of hdd for cache.

Determining frame requested by After Effect (AEGP Plugin)

Hi,
I am writing Source Generator(AEIO)(File Importer) plugin for Adobe After Effect.
Frames from file are to provided in AEIO_DrawSparseFrame callback.
But AEIO_DrawSparseFrame does not tell which frame it wants.
Also if we treat tr as current frame time in AEIO_DrawSparseFramePB structure, then also there are no consecutive calls to frame time when we render (i.e there are calls to frame number 0,2,4...).
Does anyone has any idea to determine the frame number required by After Effect and in consecutive sequence (i.e 0,1,2,3 ...).
Thanks

Huh? What are the comp settings? They must be 720x480 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL with teh respective correct pixel aspect ratios. Also make sure to disable/enable audio as needed in bothe the main Output Module settings >>>and<<< the MPEG-II exporter (just in case this will be the next error that pops up.

sorry My bad english

Yea, I guess Unix and Linux...I guess it was made for those OS's...I really went out of my way to do my homework on this as far as being a good free tool to use...I don't understand why it didn't come with an uninstaller for Windows...I understand it's free and all...but I feel that as an author/creator there should be some kind of documentation to let users know that certain things take place differently for other OS's it was intentionally meant for. I am in negative state of mind right now because I had to go through the process of reinstalling so many programs back to my computer (Internet Explorer, Music Programs, Photoshop, PreE 8, Zips Opener, etc, etc, etc. to many programs to list which it rendered unusable.
As far as going back to restore point...that was a big mistake on my part...a while back I caught one of those free Anitvirus 2010 program auto installers from visiting a website and it was a nightmare trying to get rid of it and one of the procedures to remove it was to turn off restore point, well I forgot to turn it back on after I removed it off my comp.

After Effects crashes while choosing render settings

Every time without fail After Effects crashes when I try to change my render settings. When I'm in Render Queue > Output Module > Click Lossless > Under Video Output > Format Options button. When I try to click the Format Options Button to change from animation quality to like h.256, After Effects Crashes. Below is the Alert message it gives me when it crashes. I have a late 2013 13" macbook pro with retina. I've purged all memory and disk cache as well and still it crashes every time. I can't have 10 second videos being 300 MB so any suggestions?

First, make sure your AE is up-to-date.
Second, you should be rendering your compressed files from the Adobe Media Encoder. H.264 from the render cue and QuickTime is a mess. Don't even try. Apple really found that up.
