Clarity (camera raw effect) in after effects

DOes anyone know how to create the clarity effect that you get with camera raw but within after effects. The kind if thing I'm looking for is see. Within films like 300 and tv shows like Spartacus blood and sand. Now I know this might have been achieved using another technique but I would love to recreate camera raw slider effect.
anyone have any ideas
cheers
mark

Ha, ha, ha,... We all know the need of people to answer questions from the forum, and that does not really answer the question! I believe that the man asks how to simulate the Clarity effect generally in the AE, not only the RAW image, because obviously knows how to apply this effect to the raw image!
onefourthreemedia please try use UnshapMask effect in AE with higher Radius parametar value to simulate Clarity fx.
Examp: amount=20, radius=50 or similar ...

TIMELAPSE RAW WORKFLOW IN AFTER EFFECTS

I currently create time lapse footage in Premiere Pro CS5. My basic workflow is to import dslr frames into Lightroom and convert to DNG. I do all my image enhancement/correction in Lightroom and then export JPEG files. I then use the JPEG files to make my movie sequence in Premiere Pro and output to the AVID DNxHD format.
From what I understand I can do a sequence directly from RAW files in After Effects and then output the DNxHD format directly from the raw sequence. I assume this will provide a high level of image quality. Is that true? Would it be dramatically noticeable? Thanks !!

That is correct, unfortunately we can't keyframe raw settings mid-sequence. However I've had very good results with using separate imports of the same sequence, using different raw settings, then blending/dissolving, (in AE), the sequences to achieve nice results. I don't use LR much, but that could work... not sure. Tiffs are unwieldly, at least that's been my experience. Work with your raws.
My belief is in digital realm, why not have as much quality as possible! You never know where your footage might find a home - AND don't forget, the 4k+ rez of dslr, well 5DmkII and the like, allows you to make zooms and pans within your sequence. As bogiesan mentions there are deflicker and other apps/scripts available, I guess I'm just more hands-on. I've deflickered footage using my above method with excellent results. Some might find it tedious, but it bloody works.
Delve deep in Timescapes.org, there gems there, and everything you need to know about time lapse.
Here's a recent effort of mine - actually my first, (after many tests, trials and tribulations) http://vimeo.com/23830325

EFFECTS OF AFTER EFFECTS

Adobes After effects is something which has been my favourite when it comes to creating motion graphics in the process of film making.
Creativity is onething which gets stucked in my mind whenever i think of graphics.
Based upon my knowledge and the craze of creating something out of my creative mind, I decided to make few videos out of after effects using some special effects.
However in the process of creation, I faced 1 big problem and that is the rendering time. And few other times, the entire application got crashed all of a sudden again i had to restart the application. My search for the solution brought me upto this page. In the meantime I learnt 1 method of reducing the rendring time (atleast by 30%) and that is by the use of proxies inside after effects.
Now comming to the possible effects you can create with after effects, theres no end to creativity, each one has varying degrees of creative ideas.
Here below are the links to my creations:

I am in need of suggestions and some tips so that i can improve my creativity and come up with some of the best possible effects with after effects.

No.
Help us help you: FAQ: What information should I provide? I mean, at the very least we would need to know what the text of the errors says. It wouldn't hurt if we also knew the exact version number of Premiere, AE, and your OS.

I assume that you're referring to the twisty 3D ribbons.

Colour Effect In after effects

Hi Friends,
I have after effects cs5 and I am learning it myself by watching free video tutorials available on the internet.
I am searching for a tutorial of video colour effect sawn in below image.
Actually in that video some area is B&W but some is coloured. What is the name of this effect and how can I create this kind of video effect in After effects CS5? Where can I find its tutorials? [Please see below image].
Thanks.
Regards,
Vipati

So as to create such sort of effect, you need to separate targeted area from the rest of your footage.
Since you are on CS5, you may use awesome Roto Brush Tool (see this help section with two video tutorials included how to use it).

Looping effects in After Effects?

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to loop an effect in after effects. Let me explain more. I'm creating a scene with changing colors, the best look for me was using
the Hue/Saturation effect. I would just key frame it and change the color every 5 frames, this gives me a quick color change. The thing is, its tedious to key frame it
every 5 frames for the entire clip. It would be better if I could some how loop it through the entire clip. I basically want to animate it for about 30 frames and than
take that animation and loop it for the rest of the clip.
I hope I explained this well enough, if you want more information let me know, thanks for any help!

diffusecash
Create two key frames say at 01:00 and 02:00. Now copy the two key frames and paste at 02:01. Now you will have four key frames with one loop.
In Effects Control panel, Alt click on Channle range(if you are animating Master Hue), Click on the small arrow button to open Expression Language. Go to Property and choose
loopOut(type="cycle", numKeyframes=0): .
This will create a loop animation of your two key frames.

Puddle and reflection effects in After Effects CS4

I am currently using After Effects CS4 (will be upgrading to CS6 in a couple of days) and I am currently trying out a test project using basic lighting animation. However, one element I want to create is a puddle on the ground. I was wondering if anybody here could advise on creating a puddle and its effects in After Effects, such as wave movements, reflection (particularly background elements) and whether I should use the basic pen tool or use some sort of diffusion maps. If I wanted to make things a little more complicated, then how can I create rain effects to hit the ground plane without it looking like a screen filter and have it influence the puddle?
If any of you would be able to point me out to some other tutorials on the web, I would be very grateful for that.

GenArts' Monsters GT has a Puddle 3D effect that is quite okay for that. Beyond that I don't see how we should advise specifically without a reference image. There's a million types of puddle from still and murky flat ones to deep asphalt holes to wavy large ones on fields and how "real" they look will ultimately depend on their context.

How do you Re-Open the Camera Raw Dialog box after closing it?

Hi All,
going crazy trying to figure out how to reopen the Camera Raw dialog box after closing it in photoshop. I know I found it once but have since forgetten. Any help would be much appreciated!
thx!
Jayson

When the image is open in ACR hold down the SHIFT key and you'll see the button marked Open Image changes to Open Object, so do your ACR adjustments then hold down shift and click Open Object - your image will open as a Smart Object in Photoshop.
If using Lightroom you can right click the image and select Edit>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop from the drop-down menu.
Do not confuse normal smart objects with what we're talking about here, Camera RAW Smart Objects - possibly one of the most powerful tools to have at your dispossal, once you understand them.
Hope this helps

How can i make this effect in After Effects?

hello guys, im new to this awesome program, im using the trial version so ive limited time to learn XD
can you tell me ho can i replicate this effect in after effect?
http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=2ajnybc&s=6
looks like speed effect... is there a way to replicate it in after effects?
thank you

CC Bender is really easy to use. Just take the default settings and animate the amount with about three keyframes.
We can make it a lot more complicated with something like liquefy, or even Time Displacement.

created by Barbara B. in Photoshop Elements - View the full discussionYou are being deceived by the Save button, like most people. That button is not the Save As button, really, but a link to the DNG converter. To save your raw file in an image format, click the Open button instead and then save in the format of your choice in the editor.

Mac PhotoBooth Squeeze effect for After Effects

Hello,
I am trying to achieve with after effects the same effect produced by the PhotoBooth sofware that comes with Mac.
I am looking for the "Squeeze" effect present in photobooth, is there such an effect to achieve the same effect with after effects?
Attached image for reference.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Andres Calvo

I have been able to emulate the squeeze effect using the "flo_motion" effect. It works by modifiying one of the knots of the effect, and leaving the second knot on "0".
Still looking for other options. Peace and strength.

Looking for a better resource to get a handle on using effects in after effects (CS6 BTW)

Hello thanks for looking in,
I would like to get better control over Zooming. The Zooming I found in AE did not function when
dragged it into my effects controller...Is the only Zoom control really the "Scale" as found in Prem-Pro?
I could not find it in AE. I wanted to zoom over the shoulder of my actor and concentrate on what my Actor is looking at/pointing at. I could not find where that effect is at in AE.
If you know of a couple good tutorials to watch that show how to control the effecst in After-Effects it would be welcomed and appreciated. If you know the specific path to use to pan and
zoom for my desired shot mentioned, that too would be appreciated. One other ? I skimmed through "Creative Cow" but there are many videos and after watching a couple that were titled what
I want, were not what I was looking for. Spent an hour plus surfing before I came here to ask.
Are some of the effects only applicable to one or the other? IE: Movies or stills? If so is there a
manual that states what can be used with what? I tried dragging some of the effects into my effects area and they would not populate. IE: Zoom Forward. Only used for Text?
Thanks for your time with this in advance.

Importing a Premiere Pro Sequence into After Effects Crashes After Effects

Hello,
I'm on a Quad Core Mac, 2.8GHZ with 6GB of Ram.
I have a Premeire Pro project with varying MOV and MP4 files; from a DSLR and from a Sony EX-1 camera. This project has lots of media, over 3 TBs, and each and every time I try to import it into After Effects-After Effects crashes and does not respond.
Please help.
Thanks

Don't try and do a whole movie in AE. After Effects is for making shots or short sequences. Break up the projects. Organize. 3TB of source materials into AE's Project folder means linking, analyzing, interpreting, and generating previews for enough material to shoot a feature film. Bring in the shots you're working on, not the entire movie. If you need to do an entire movie, break that up to Scenes and make each scene a separate project.
Terabytes of data would also choke Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid, or any other NLE if it was dumped in all at once. The only reason that a NLE can handle that much data is that there were some caches created when the footage was imported.

3D Effect In After Effects

Hey everyone this is my first post here, and it happens to be a question I haven't been able to find an answer to.
Compared to you guys I'm very new at working with After Effects, so, please, bear with me.
I've been meaning to replicate an effect seen in this video:
Specifically from seconds :19 to :23.
The effect consists of showing a flat solid, then the camera angle changes to a perspective in which we see the rectangle was in fact extruded, and had depth.
My first though was that maybe the answer was to make a render on a 3D modeling/animation program, and import that into After Effects for placing and post-production (such as the binary texture I'm guessing), but, I have a feeling there's a much simpler way to do this that I just don't know, can anyone please help me out?
The intention is to replicate an effect like that, being able to see an element on screen which is initally seen as flat, and then have tha camera move to a perspective in which we can see the element, in fact, has depth.
I really hope you can help me out with this.
I hope this is the first of many posts I make on this forum.

For the specific case that you show, you could just have a few flat 3D layers joined together at their edges to make a box, and fly a camera around that.
There are several resources that show how to create 3D boxes.
... or you could use this handy script:
