Créer trait animé qui se fissure After Effects

Bonsoir à tous, Je cherche a créer un effet réaliste qui consisterait en un trait qui se fissurerait au fur et a mesure (sur une durée de 2,3 secondes). C'est un trait simple, qui sert seulement à séparer deux éléments sur une carte. J'ai songé à créer plusieurs traits et à y mettre des images clés, mais n'y a t-il pas un moyen un peu plus réaliste? Merci d'avance.

Animation Render Settings crash After Effects

Hello all,
We have a strange issue on one of our Mac Pros running After Effects (CS5). Whenever it renders with the Animation render settings, it beach balls and eventually freezes, unless you log out of the user and log back in (in rare occasions, it can only be fixed by restarting). However, when it crashes in this manner it takes forever (10+ minutes)to get back up and running. This is the only time it takes a while to turn on or log in.
However, if we change the render settings to say h.274, everything works fine. I don't think it is because it is running out of resources as the Mac has 32 GB of RAM and the file we were testing on wasn't large (< 1 GB). We've tried rendering it on the network or locally on the machine, but it will freeze either way. It is an issue that is limited to this Mac Pro, so I don't think it is just a bug in the software, considering how it isn't random at all and other machines with the exact same set up have no issue. Normally, I would say we would need to update or reinstall a codec if it were third party, but considering Animation is native to Adobe, I don't think that it is that simple to fix.
What do you guys think? Do you think we need to reinstall After Effects?

That's not actually true. It's native to QuickTime, and we just call the QuickTime system to do all of the encoding.
Well, that is good to know.
Also, we have version 10.2 (603.17) of QuickTime.

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.

Animating png text in After effects

I have a logo from a company that I wanted to animate to appear as if the script is being written. It is a .psd file that I imported just the layer that contains the letters I want to animate. I tried to used stroke and a pen tool to attempt to create a path that I want the text to me written in, but I think I am doing something wrong. I admit not being too familiar with how to do this in After Effects, however I am on a deadline with the customer and need some guidance. Can someone help? Here is the .png file I created from the .psd.

You are going to run into problems with the intersecting lines that need to be addressed by splitting the layer when the stroke crosses the intersections. The technique is relatively simple. The more complex your text and the more overlapping lines you have the more time consuming it is.
First add your text layer to the timeline (by the way the PNG you supplied is way too big. You could crop it so it was just exactly the size of the text), then add a Red solid to the comp and set the blend mode to Screen. You will be able to see the text through the solid. Now with the pen tool carefully trace a mask path over the text layer. Once the trace is complete add stroke to the solid layer and adjust the width of the stroke so that it is wide enough to cover all of the text. Animate the in or out point so that the stroke traces over the text, then set the stroke to On Transparent. Now use the stroke layer as a track matte for the text layer. As the stroke reveals the text there will be places where it crosses the lines of the text and spoils the effect. At each crossing point you need to add a mask to cover the intersections. I do this while scrubbing through the timeline and make my masks just big enough to cover the spoiled intersections. You set the masks to subtract or check the invert box. When you're done you'll have a bunch of holes in your text layer. Here's how you fix that.
Scrub through the timeline until the stroke comes to the first mask. Select both the track matte and the text layer and press Ctrl/Cmnd + Shift + D to split the layer. Move forward one frame and delete the mask that is causing the hole. Move forward until the stroke appears on the other side of the hole, split the layer and delete the mask causing the hole. Repeat until you have all of the problems solved.
Here's a start on the project using your supplied PNG file. I did the first few crossings for you so you can see how it's done. I only drew a few of the masks on the text. You'll have to do the rest. One more thing, You'll see an extra path on the Track Matte layer that is not covering anything. This stroke is there to give the pen time to move from the first mask over the S to the next letters. Adjusting the length of this stroke is an easier way to fine tune the timing than animating the end point of the stroke. Enjoy.

One more note, I probably would have just used a text layer in AE for this job. There's nothing special about the PNG file that couldn't have been done more efficiently with a text layer.

Animateing InDesign Objects in After Effects

Hay all,
i got an little problem. I need to animate single Objects in InDesign and need to do this in After Effects.
is there a way to import the InDesign File into After Effects so i can animate every single Object ? It is too much work to import every single Objekt out of the InDesign Project and assemble everything together.
kind regards
Dennis

No. Your only option would be to export a PDF from ID, but you cannot access separate objects inside the PDf, so this is more or less useless....

After Effects skipping frames in animated GIFs

Hello,
I have a 20 PNG sequences (each with 8 images) that I would like to combine into a single Animated GIF. That's 160 frames, which adds up to 00:00:05:10 on my timeline. After Effects shows the proper number of frames when they are arranged in sequence.
When I attempt to render the GIF, however, After Effects drops 12 frames in the final output, giving me a total of only 148. This was confirmed when I re-imported the animated GIF back into After Effects; its duration was only 00:00:04:28. The frames appear to be getting pulled from all over the GIF, with no apparent pattern.
I need all 160 frames because I am eventually going to convert them to a sprite sheet for a game (I have a program that will convert GIFs into sprite sheets). I've attached a copy of the sprite sheet that I just exported from the GIF; notice that 12 frames are missing.
Does anyone know why AE would remove frames like this?

The After Effects forum would be a good place to ask. This is just a general animation forum that is read by only 13 people.

After Effects is shortening my animation

I bring in a 6.6 sec animation (.mov) file into after effects and it becomes 5.11 sec long. I've checked the frame rate of the clip and the comp they are both at 24 fps. Its messing up my comp because it is an animation synced to audio and the audio remains 6.6 sec long. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Without knowing the exact specs of your clip, where it was created, system info, exact comp settings and so on nobody can know. We don't even know your AE version.

Photoshop cs4 and cs5 and after effects 7.0

Hello my name is mel
My question ! I'm working with photoshop cs4 and after effects 7.0 building a web page and this going to be my first page . I got the header in and the footer also,
the main body is going to be this avi file. after effect project that I want to run when the page opens. I want to slice up and send to DW for coding . my question is how do you slice this page up and transport it to DW.cs5 and do you have to code the avi in html and css to run when the page is open. Because as now when you run the avi in photoshop nothing elese on the page works , just the avi runs when you turn off the avi then every thing is back normal .to run the avi you have go to the video part of psd and click on the start button . any idea or any suggestion how to proceded would help
thanks

we were told in design school to use ps to design your site then transport to DW to code??
Maybe I misunderstood you.... You do the graphics in PS, that's of course what everyone does and then you code in DW, but by all means, you do not operate on the atrocious code Save for Web would spit out from PS. Trying to fix it is more trouble than starting with a blank page in DW and inserting the background and otehr images manually. And you definitely misunderstand "animation" vs. "video" After Effects is just a means to turn animation into video just as Flash is a means of creating dynamically rendered animation or interactive content. Both have their uses, but without knowing what kind of animation or video you actually need to produce, this is going nowhere. It may turn out that all you need is an animated GIF, after all... Furthermore your AE 7 is dated and does not output good H.264 or FLV directly compared to more recent versions, so this opens up yet anotehr can of worms when it comes to producing good quality web video at small file sizes... In any case, you still require a lot of reading. Too complex a topic for which nobody can provide a tippy-toe tutorial and without understanding even some basic concepts, the most beautifully designed PS grafik will end up being nothing more than a useless lump of pixels on a web server...

After effects cc 2014 text presets can't import from bridge cc

I'm trying to use the presets for text animation but somehow I get the message that it doesn't support this file format. How come? and how to fix?

> Any other ideas?
Note the last part of Rick's answer: You can still apply animation presets through the Effects & Presets panel in After Effects.
There is a bug in the After Effects CC 2014.1 (13.1) installer that causes the wrong startup script to be used. We're working on a fix for this now. In the meantime, you can just apply animation presets directly in After Effects.

Night vision in After Effects?/ Transferring a style from PS to AE??

Hi,
I am just starting out using adobe software, Im currently doing a job for which I need a style/mask to make a video clip look like it was shot in night vision.
Is there any way I can do that in AE?
I have done it in photoshop so I have been trying to save it as a style and transfer it to AE but I'm not having any luck!
Can anyone shine a light on this for me?
Cheers
Tim

A Night Vision animation preset comes with After Effects.
Type 'night vision' into the search field in the Effects & Presets panel in After Effects.
For more information about animation presets, see the
"Animation presets" section of After Effects Help.

After Effects CS6 Update fails with the code (U43M1D204)

I was just downloading and installing the latest updates on both my windows workstation and my Apple MBP. Everything went fine on the windows machine but I keep getting the following error when my MBP attempts to update After Effects CS6:
Update Failed
The download appears corrupted. Please try again after a few minutes.
(U43M1D204)
I am running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2). Is there some half downloaded file I can delete to make this work? I've waited. I've rebooted. I'm VERY reluctant to delete my current installation of CS6 if this is what is required. I'm an instructor at a local community college. The college currently only runs CS6. I teach an animation class that uses After Effects and as such I need CS6 working on my MBP. If this update is non critical I'll just let it ride. Oh, yea and I also keep AE CC and AE CC 2014 for no other reason than I can take a students CC 2014 file all the way back to CS6 so they can work in class. I'm guessing I'll need to add CC 2015 or what ever they call it so I will have 4 installations of AE just to do file conversions..... but that is another thread.
Any help on the current install issue would be appreciated

What update is it? What current version of CS6 do you have?
It may be a permissions thing. Mac OSX goes all screwy in the permissions whenever it updates. Try fixing that first. fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications

Exporting titles from after effects to premiere

Hello. I am a relatively inexperienced user with the creative suite 5.5 programs. (I am working on a Windows 7 machine.) I created a title in After Effects that was just text with a transparent background. However, when I exported it as a movie (AVI) and imported it into Premiere, the text is now on an opaque black background. This surprised me because I have the checkerboard transparency view in After Effects, and all I have there is the text. How can I create text only on an otherwise transparent layer to bring into Premiere? Is there a preferred export setting for this? The posted info says I cannot just copy and paste text layers from one program to the other. (I know how to use the titler in Premiere - this would be for instances where I am doing more complicated text animations that rely on After Effects.) Thank you in advance for your help. I know this is basic, but I cannot find anything that addresses this specifically.
Steve Forrest

Todd -
The link helped me conceptualize alpha channel and transparency (which I have struggled with in the past). However, ultimately I needed to know what setting to adjust, what button to click, which can be hard when you have to wade through all the various support materials. I am teaching (if you can believe it) video and film classes at a local high school. We had been using CS 3 the last couple of years, and I was just starting to get the hang of those, when we moved to CS5, so I am still somewhat disoriented and have taken a step backwards. Much of it is the same, but it can still be pretty daunting when even something as basic as this takes this much research, community help, etc. (The move back to Audition from Soundbooth is especially confounding, because we were operating more on the amateur than the high pro level.) Anyway, between classroom in a book, adobe tv, creative cow, lynda.com, and the manual, I can usually figure my fairly basic problems out, but this was really frustrating, in part because it just seemed to basic. So again, thanks so much for you time and helping me get going again.
Sincerely,
Steve

Exporting Transparent Background From After Effects

I am working on a FCP project which I have also made an animated lower third in After Effects. However, I do not know how to export from after effects preserving the transparent background- it always just ends up as being black...
Thanks

From AE, you must use the Animation codec set to millions of colors+

Do they really use After Effects in movies?

I heard from a buddy yesterday that they use Adobe After Effects for high budget, theatre films!? I thought it was more low-end than that...guess I was wrong. Oh well... SHWEEEET if it's true. :)

After Effects is used in many feature films. It's used together with other tools to create and/or composite elements in a lot of visual-effects-heavy movies (like
Sin City,
Iron Man,
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow,
Stranger Than Fiction), but it's also used to composite together elements in movies that you don't think of as being visual-effects-heavy. The Emmy award winner for visual effects was
John Adams. Very little in the background in that movie was real. And that was done with After Effects and Photoshop. This year's Academy Award winner for animated short also used After Effects. And, of course, it's used for a
lot of title sequences and closing credit sequences.
