I only have 1 concern. all the 1.09 aspect ratio comp got horizontally stretched. will it affect all the elements?
That button doesn't affect anything other than what you see. It has no impact on the actual product you're creating.
WIth the button off, it shows the actual pixels of the composition.
With the button on, it shows the composition as it will appear when broadcast.
When working in a non-square composition, I would suggest leaving that button on since that is how it is going to look when you send it out. All your "stretched" elements are just looking how they'll look when broadcast. This may have just saved you a big surprise!

After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "particular"

Hi, I was trying to following the Kramer's tutorial "The Ring" in AFx (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/the_ring/), that involves the use of Trapcode Particular, and all went well..
Then I've customized it, not drawing a circle, but a square, and after a while AFx started to crash very frequently reporting this message:
After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effects plug in "particular"
this happens only when I work on the compositions with particular plug-in.

thanks for any help!

I'm guessing that you're running out of RAM.
The system requirements state 2GB as a minimum (I know the page links to CS4, but it seems the CS3 one's aren't available).
Have you made sure to run all necessary updates?
I know you've been able to work with 1GB for awhile, but you've probably been pushing that envelope.
What are your comp specs (frame size, frame rate, etc...)?
Are you trying to view at full res, or lower?
Have you modified your RAM preferences?

Some image imports from Photoshop won't show in After Effects

I NEED HELP ASAP
I'm creating an app and I used Photoshop. Imported the psd file into After effects. But somehow all the images won't show, only text.
I'm trying to animate it so it looks like a normal scroll up and down from an iPhone. But all the images which are off screen won't show up once I drag it into screen but at the same time the text are all fine. What is wrong? I definitely imported the psd file correctly, since I did it with another project a couple days ago.
Please help. Due date is Monday.
The only thing what's differnt is. The images are all in a clipping mask in Photoshop. All the circles are white shapes and I put the images as clipping mask to that.
Once I scrolled it up I can't see the images.This is how it suppose to be

Did you try to make your Photoshop canvas larger? I'm pretty sure that would solve it.

Error (515) (25 ::101), can't launch Analysis Server Adobe After Effects CC

So, I've been struggling with this issue for many hours now. I've been trying to use the 3D Camera Tracker on a couple video files (mpeg and mp4), and have been getting the "After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server. (515) ( 25 :: 101 )". and stabilisation of deformation VFX, I also get the same error... Why??

Could be the compression scheme of the movie files. Could be a 3rd party codec conflict. Could be that you don't have the latest build. Could be something else with your OS. If we knew at least something about your system and your footage maybe we could come up with an idea that would help. There are hundreds of different flavors of MP4 and MPEG files. I have no idea what could be going on because I've never had this problem with any of the production footage that I use in my daily work.

After Effects Render time extremely long

I am trying to render an After Effects CS6 composition that is 40 seconds long and 1080p with no video footage, just particle animation and logo. However when I add the comp to the render queue and begin the render, the estimated time shows 32 Hours! At the bootom it says 47% ram jused of 7.9 GB. What is going wrong?

Thanks for that, I don't have it on ray-traced 3d because in the top corner on the left it says Renderer: Classic 3d. So i think that seems fine, but I have 8 GB ram with second gen Core i5 boosted to 3.1 Ghz so i don't think that the setup is a problem.
As for the particles, they branch out in lines like branches into a circle. But I still think that 32h is overkill. Even after using the Quicktime codec with the H.264 setting, it still says 30+ hours.
Don't render to H.264. That requires huge amounts of processing overhead on top fo the rendering.
Make a duplicate of your comp. Set the end point to about 10 seconds. Turn off 75% of the layers. Render to the simplest codc in the selection, say, ProRes422LT.
Turn off layers and turn on 25% of the other layers. Render again.
Turn on the other 25%. Render
Turn on the last 25%. Render.
Now you should have a good idea of which layers or effects are messing you up. Tell us about it and we'll probably have some helpful suggestions.

Blank Layer in After Effects CS4

I use to remember how to create a blank layer in after effects, then add a blur effect to the layer and make a oval. I am obviously doing something wrong because what I am doing is not working. I am trying to blur a moving object in adobe premier using key framing. I use to open a new composition, then add an adjustment layer, add a blur effect, then use the shape tool to create a blurred oval. Not sure what I am doing wrong but its not working.

i can do it all in after effects but i thought that i did the key framing in premier, i could be wrong i havent done this in a while. basically im looking to make a blurred circle in after effects.
No keyframing is required for this effect so we're not sure what you think you want us to help you accomplish. Since this is the AE forum forget you have Premiere and forget how you think you remember doing something because, we will agree, your memory appears to be faulty by your own admission. Try to explain what you want to see on the screen in the simplest of terms

Error with "Replace wtih After Effects Comp"

When I use "Replace with After Effects Comp" on a clip in Premier CS5 (Mac), it sends the clip properly, I make my effect in AE (stabilize motion), save, then go back to premier and there is not change to the clip in premier (the change was clear and obvious in AE). In the lower right is a red circle wth an X -- clicking on it indicates "an unspecified error ocurred performaning an action" on the saved AE file.
The clip in Premier is marked red and indicates it is linked to the AE file, but the applied effect has not come through, it just looks like the original.
However, when I make other changes in AE, sich as adding text, no problem -- it updates in Premier.
What could be preventing "Replace with After Effects Comp" from workgin with AE stablizie image tracking files?
Using CS5 on a Mac (10.6.7) wiht the latest updater updates installed on all CS5 products)
Really stuck here. Thanks!

Can I not render wihin AE and have the rendered clip automatically link into Premier?
This method should give you realtime playback of your Ae comp
in the Pr timeline, but you will still have to render first.
Use the "Post-Render Action" in the Ae render queue to import your
completed render into your Ae project, then drop it into your
composite as the top layer, solo that layer, then save and exit.
Open Pr, and you should be able to play the composite without
having to render the timeline... unless there is a deficit in the
horsepower of your rig as Jim suggested in an earlier post.

How do I reinstall After Effects?

I recently had a trial version of after effects and have since deleted it. I just purchased Creative Cloud and I do not have the option to download the program. I am only given the option to update. When I do that, the update fails due to the fact that it has since been deleted. Neverending circle right now. Any help?

Ray Richter please make sure you meet or exceed the system requirements for After Effects. You can find the system requirements at http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/tech-specs.html. If you do not meet these requirements then the application will not be available for download.

After Effects rotating image issue

I am trying to rotate a circluar image created in photoshop. Image looks similar to a donut. The composition Pixel aspect ratio is D1 (0.9). No matter what combination of Pixels aspects I use in the PSD file. The image looks distoted when rotated. I can move, resize, and change just about any aspect of the image, but when I rotate, it goes from looking like a circle to looking like an oval. Any help would be apprciated.

In after effects, I tried pixel aspect ratio at both Square and DV1 (0.9) and still does not work correctlly.
I think I tried every combination of pixel aspect ratios (Square and DV (0.9) in both Photshop and AE with no luck. If I leave pixwl aspects as square, in photoshop and then import into AE and leave interpret as square, the imaage looks oval from the start but does rotate proeprly, If I change the the Interpret in AE to 0.9 it looks fine from the start but turn oval when rotating. Similar happens if I change the pixel aspect in PS first.

How to simulate gravity acceleration animation (free fall) in After Effects.

Hello,
I want to make men falling from the sky. That meens that they don't have to fall with the same speed but they have to be accelerating in order to simulate gravity drop. They have to accelerate by "G" (9,81m/s)2.
How can I achieve this accelerated animation by just manipulating the keyframes?
Or, what is a very simple expression which includes G acceleration (9,81)?
I don't like expressions, so it has to be an extremely short, simple and very effective one.
Thanks

You could also do this by simply manipulating the curve in the graph editor. Select separate dimensions and animate y as shown:
Since there are no feet and inches in AE being absolutely accurate to the real world is purely subjective. In this case I've just created an approximately parabolic curve by stretching out the handle on the first y keyframe speed graph and then moving the second handle next to the second keyframe and positioning it to the top of the curve.
If your object is going to hit the ground then you'll also need some kind of bounce or deformation. Again, this is completely subjective but if you type in realistic bounce expression or bounce expression in the Search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of AE you'll be directed to this series of great expressions by Dan Ebberts.
I would strongly suggest that you try out these expressions and then save each of them to an animation preset so you can apply them to any layer with a single click. It will save you a bunch of time.

Sizing PSDS for After Effects / Preparing Illustrator files for After Effects

3 questions
For the longest time I have been told when importing PSDs to
After effects, in order to keep circles circles (proper ratios) I had
to make a 720 540 PSD file and then crunch it down to 720 486. Then import the file to a D1 NTSC 720 486 after effects comp and everything works fine.And it does and always has
I have now been told otherwise. People claim they view in DV NTSC view
in Photoshop at 720 486 and then just import to a 720 486 DV1 After
Effects comp and everything is fine.
That view mode in Photoshop is for viewing purposes only though so this
confuses me. Sure you can sit there and stretch your picture to look
right in that mode but that doesn't make sense. Going 540 to 486 is
quicker.
But one weird thing I noticed is if you save your PSD with the NTSC
view mode turned on it will automatically import to After Effects with
DV NTSC comp settings. Otherwise it will import into a Square Pixels
comp.
So to simplify my questions are the following.
1. Is there a way to avoid creating a 720 540 PSD and then crunching
down to 486? And somehow keep circles circles and photographs not
stretched.
2. Why does the DV viewing mode in Photoshop effect the importing into
After Effects if it's just for preview purposes?
That said I like that viewing mode in Photoshop because when I do my
720 540 to 720 486 crunch I can see that everything will look fine.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. I've been fine doing what I'm doing but for the last couple years I have been told there's a quicker way and haven't found anyone who knows.
And my final question #3 is
How do you import an illustrattor file into After Effectcs with
layers? I know how to bring sa photoshop file in with layers but everytime I import an illustrator file in , it comes in flat as one layer.
Thanks very much to those who can help.

Not really and then "crunching down" is very much a matter of point of view. The real question is: Can you accept the variations e.g. in antialiasing introduced by creating your work with non-square pixels in Photoshop. Apparently doing so will affect horizontal sampling more than vertical and as there is a difference in how AE and PS deal with these matters, the result would be different. It also extends to the matter of how practical it would be to work with such files if you need to move them to applications that don't provide PAR correction...
>Why does the DV viewing mode in Photoshop effect the importing into
>After Effects if it's just for preview purposes?
It doesn't. The people told you only half the facts. Photoshop's PAR correction is just for viewing purposes, that's true, but it does not mean that PS itself would be unable to deal with non-square pixels. Whenever you create a files based on such presets, PS will correctly embed that information for saving, hence programs like AE that are able to extract that information, will use it to correctly interpret items.
>How do you import an illustrattor file into After Effectcs with
>layers?
You can't. In the strict sense Illustrator has no layers, only objects and groups and since they can be infinitely combined in the funniest ways, it's a hell of a thing to read them right. Maybe in CS5 after all these years... (or even later).

Problem of Video Export on After Effect CC

How come my screen resolution changed automatically after I convert my comp to H.264 (mp4) movie by After Affects CC? Graphics come out weirdly fatter, such as the ellipse I draw can't be in perfect circle. Can someone help me fix this issue, please?

Your composition was rectangular pixels, your artwork was improperly interpreted, you failed to understand pixel aspect ratios. Generally you always want to create all of your projects using After Effects default composition sizes that result in square pixel projects. Only the very rare project would be delivered in a non square pixel format.
If you post your composition settings we can verify this is true and that I'm not just guessing. The only other option is that for some reason you adjusted the output module and render settings to scale the project and produce a non square pixel render.
