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

After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
"After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

When I launch After Effects I get a warning saying: Could not create the file'/Users/mayname/Library/Adobe/After effects/13.0/dummy'.

Teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using Adobe After Effects

I need to create a memorial video for a loved one that passed away. Can someone teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using AE? here is the video from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4191kcW07f0 . Thanks

I'll give a very brief overview but, presuming that you are new to After Effects, understanding and executing on this overview will require learning the basics of After Effects.
You'll be creating a 3D scene based on a few 3D layers: one each for the floor and each wall. Each of those 3D layers will be a precomposition layer; the wall layer with the pictures will be based on a precomposition in which you have placed your pictures as individual layers. You will create some 3D lights shining down from above. You'll create a 3D camera that you will then animate to move down the hallway.
As I said, that is a very brief overview. Understanding each of those pieces will require some learning. After Effects is not a simple application, so you do need to be prepared to put in some learning time if you are going to do this yourself. Here is the place to start: http://adobe.ly/AE_basics
All that said, I would recommend that you hire someone to do this for you. Learning a new and complex creative application under the time pressure (and other pressure) that you are under may be too much to ask.

Setting AEP Documents to Open by Default with Adobe After Effects CC NOT Adobe After Effect CC 2014 on a Mac

I have installed some of the CC 2014 products for testing. Until the rest my department moves from CC to CC 2014 I need to open and create new projects in CC as the CC 2014 AEP's won't open in other versions.
The issue is when I try to change the file association, in the Get Info inspector, from "Adobe After Effects CC.app" to "Adobe After Effects CC 2014.app" and hit "Change All" it always reverts back to CC 2014. I have tried this as an administrator and even when logged in as administrator. It is like Creative Cloud overrides it. You can do one at a time but you cannot set the default.
I would like to "roll back" my file associations for AE and PS to CC but I don't want to uninstall the 2014 versions if possible as I have already install many plug-ins, license keys, scripts, etc. and everything is working fine within the apps. Is it possible?
Thanks for any help.

That makes no sense at all. CC 2014 is available in the Creative Cloud App. Just download it. The system requirements for both are the same. IF CC runs, CC 2014 will.

How Can You Slow the Titles in Movie Trailer Down?

I love the new movie trailers in iMovie, but I need to slow the title slide down. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can do it by converting the Movie Trailer to a Project. However once converted, you cannot go back to the Movie Trailer interface and continue to work using the Movie trailer tools. So what you might want to do is get everything, Everything you can get accomplished using just the Movie trailer tools. Then at the very end, the very last step Convert to Project and stretch out the duration of that title slide.
To Convert to Project go to the File Menu > Convert to Project. iMovie will then move everything into the iMovie Project Browser as clips, background sound tracks, titles, etc.

Can you edit layers separately on a sphere in After Effects?

I'm working on a history documentary about World War II and I have a map of the world divided into colonial empires. Each empire is a separate layer.
If you apply the map to a sphere in Photoshop and then bring it into After Effects, can you animate the empire layers fading in their opacity at different times?
Is this possible? I have no idea how to do this but I imagine that it must be relatively simple to do.
Thank you very much in advance for any helpful suggestions.
- Nick

Did you choose File --> Import, picked the PSD and then actually set the dimensions to Comp - Document size? this should definitely work. Note that by default it will import as Footage, which is not what you want. If that's not the problem, you may have accidentalyl flattened/ merged the Photoshop document or done something else that forces AE into flattening the doc. For instance the document being in CMYK instead of RGB color mode would do that... I recommend you double-check in PS.

Trial version load file error: ... created with a newer version of Adobe After Effects

I downloaded and installed the trial version of Adobe After Effects 6.0 last night and worked on a project for quite some time. This morning, when I tried to open the project, it gave me: After Effects Error: this file was created with a newer version of After Effects [3.0 (unknown)] -- time to upgrade your application.
The message is annoying. This means that if anyone send me an After Effects File from future versions, I cannot load them. Even Microsoft has converters for backwards compatibility
It is costing me time to evaluate the product, and lowering my opinion of it since it obviously has bugs

Ah, I see. So you are using 6.0, not CS6? Yes, in that case things are just as they are - AE is not forward compatible. Only CS5.5 and CS6 allow to save one version back (that is CS5 and CS5.5, respectively), but beyond that AE never offered this feature. anyway, AE 6.0 is hopelessly outdated. It doesn't even work on contemporary operating systems nor does it work properly with current versions of Quicktime and just the same it doesn't support any modern media formats, so that's like trying to fly to the moon with a WW I. airplane... and to make matters worse - AE 6.0 was one of the most bug-ridden versions of the program in the first place.

This file was created with a newer version of Adobe After Effects

I downloaded the trial version of Adobe After Effects last night and spent a lot of time learning how to use the product, created my first tracking face on a body in a video.
This morning when I tried to open the project I got an error message: After Effects Error: this file was created using a newer version of After Effects [3.0 (unknown)] -- time to upgrade your application!
What should I do?

Sounds odd. If you created it in CS6 it should open just fine in that same version. chances are that the project fiel is simply damaged. Impossible to tell without actualyl seeing the file.

If you do not want to use the text touchup tool, correct the original document and print to a new PDF. After printing, open the original PDF and use replace pages to replace the appropriate page. If you designed the form in Designer, you will have to do this operation in Designer.

Can you edit the title of downloaded files?

I am downloading a series of files from autio CDs. They are lanaguage lessons. However, the titles are either wrong for the lesson numbers, or are untitlted.
My plan is to put them on my IPhone so I can listen while driving. I wish to edit the titles so I can go from one to another in order.

Although my looking solved the problem, it was a right click that showed the info that could be edited. I did not understand what "command+1" meant.

Can you create a editable QR Code in Adobe CC? (to be able to edit the URL after printing).

Hi There,
I'd just like to know if you can edit the QR code's URL after the QR code has been printed? There are other sites out there that do it but I'm interested to see if Adobe CC allows you to do this.

Can you create a new comp from a clip after you already have one in your project?

I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that clip down to the timeline panel, After Effects will create a new composition based off of the specs of the clip, which is exactly as long as the clip. Is there a way to do this after you have already created one composition in your project?
I've tried it and it just wants to add the clip to an already opened composition or if you close all the compositions, it wants to add it to the render queue.

> I know if you create a new project and import a clip, then drag that

Actually, that's not quite right. To create a new composition with settings that match those of the footage item, you drag the footage item to the Create A New Compsotion button at the bottom of the Project panel. See "Create a composition".
If you drag a footage item from the Project panel to the Timeline panel for an already existing composition, then you are telling After Effects to create a new layer based on that footage item inside the existing composition.
If you drag a footage item to the Render Queue panel, then After Effects creates a new composition from the footage item and immediately adds that composition to the render queue.

How to create a facebook "likes" counter in adobe after effects?

I was wondering if anyone could guide me to a tutorial on how to create a small icon that updates for example, the number of steps a person has taken or how many likes a video has got. For an example, I want to shoot a video where someone is running and I use a device which monitors my steps. The device shows the steps as 2 running shoes and in my video I would like to have this icon with the steps being counted beside it in my video.

My approach would be to take a screen grab of the look you want, in the highest resolution possible. Rebuild and adjust what you need, either in Photoshop or After Effects.
To create a counter that steps up numerically, you can either use a text layer with an expression to keyframe the numbers, or create a solid and apply the Numbers plugin, which also allows you to keyframe the numbers.
Here's some options straight from a Google search: after effects number counter
If you're seeking a tool that will automatically count the steps of the person walking/running, that's a very complex proposition.

How to speed-up the Ram Preview/Rendering using Adobe After Effects Cs 5.5?

Hi guys,
As the the title says, how can I increase the speed or make the ram preview render a lot faster or make the speed to the fullest?
I've done my researched already but I'm not sure if I did the right thing.
I will list down the things that I've done so far trying to make it faster.
1. Using the SECRET option (Pressing SHIFT) from the Preferences and ticked those two boxes - Disable layer Cache and Ignore sequence rendering errors.
2. Settings for the Memory and Multiprocessing. (Im not sure about this part, I mean I dont know if I did the right thing)
3. No other application's running
My Machine's specs are.
I'm using MSI GT70
-i7 CPU @ 2.30ghz
-16gb of RAM
-Nvidia GT675m
-64bit
I'd really appreaciated any help and a best settings for Mutltiprocessing.
Many thanks,

Most of the time I have MP turned off. Most of the plug-ins that I use are not MP aware and I seldom use AE's render Cue for rendering for delivery. I use AME and keep working on projects while I'm rendering.
Basic rules, at least 2GB per processor, at least 1 processor for other apps, Make sure the CPU's actually used matches the CPU's assigned, then test with your most common project. If you are doing something tha bogs down the system just turn it off.
