  • After Effects want open Mac Book Air 2013

    Hello, After Effects want open in my Mac Book Air 2013, 1,7 Ghz Intel Core i7 - OS X 10.9.2. Anyone can help me please ?

  • After effect CC  - impossible de travailler avec Mocha AE

    impossible de travailler avec mocha, une fois ouvert Mocha réponse fichier non trouvé. J'ai essayé avec des fichiers TIF TGA ou MOV aucun n'est reconnu par mocha AE CC

    Bonjour!
    Si vous parlez anglais, je ne peux que vous conseiller de poster dans le forum d'Imagineer systèmes, les créateurs de Mocha.
    Bien que beaucoup là soient de véritables gourous, ils ne sont pas pour autant doués de clairvoyance... N'oubliez donc pas de mentionner sur quel OS êtes-vous, quelle configuration, la version de Mocha et after effects (une mise à jour est sortie hier), si les fichiers sont sur la machine, etc.

    Bonjour,
    en fait je suis allé sur le chat en ligne d'Adobe (car ils n'ont pas d'aide par support téléphone) et là j'ai discuté avec des techniciens qui m'ont redirigé vers l'aide en ligne Américaine (ma licence est Canadienne) puis un technicien m'a aidé à faire la manipulation. Sur le chat en direct, il faut écrire le 1er message et attendre qu'un technicien soit libre pour répondre, cela peut prendre un peu de temps. Sinon, si je me souviens bien, j'ai téléchargé une mise à jour sur le site Adobe, là j'ai obtenu 2 icones, et j'ai simplement cliqué sur AF ingéniering en premier puis sur AF application, ensuite et tout s'est mis en place (si on clique directement sur AF application, ça ne marche pas). Mais je ne peux que vous conseiller de demander l'aide en ligne par chat qui à mon avis est très efficace.
    Bonne chance.

  • After Effects CS5: impossible to import "special" .flv -Clips?

    Hi,
    apparently After Effects CS5 has trouble to import some kind of .flv-Clips (encoded with Sorenson Spark?).
    I have a lot of these Clips, and its impossible to convert,because actually i work on some projects with CS4. Is there any way to to convince AE CS5 to import these flv.-Files? (->e.g. replace the flv.Encoder with the encoder from CS4, who has no problems and works fine....). Does anyone know the file-name of the encoder?
    Or has anyone another solution?
    Otherwise i couldnt use CS5 and i thrown the money down the drain...
    Thanks and greetings
    Wolle

    Hi,
    thanks to Mylenium and Todd_Kopriva for their detailed anwers!
    @Mylenium:
    Clips with this unusual .flv-format  can be found on www.istockphoto.com
    Just download some demo clips from video-section and try to import them to AE CS4 (no problem) and CS5 (failure, even mith media encoder CS5)....
    With CS4 it was easy to integrate quickly some of these footages to my projects. Now i have to make a detour with the media encoder.
    Ok, better Adobe Media Encoder than no use of the upgrade....
    Greetings
    Wolle
    P.S.:Perhaps sometime there will be an update with a supported Sorenson Spark-encoder

  • Désactivation After effects CS 5.5  impossible.

    Bonjour,
    J'ai une version CS 5.5 d'After effects sur mon PC que je voudrais désactiver pour, ensuite, désinstaller.
    En passant par la désactivation du menu "aide" comme en cochant la cache "désactiver" sur une désinstallation, la désactivation ne se fait pas, je n'arrive pas à atteindre le serveur.
    Que faire ? Quelles solutions ?
    Par avance, merci de votre aide.

    The first problem I see is that there's no motion blur applied. The second problem is that it doesn't follow the six second rule.
    Try this. I'm assuming that you rendered to something other than a swf or flv. Import a rendered clip and change the frame rate to a higher one. If your clip is 24 or 25 change it to 30. If the frame rate is 30 change it to 36 or even 50. Now drag the clip to the new comp icon in the bottom of the Project panel and render this clip using Jpg compression. Playback the file. I'll bet that it will be smoother. It's impossible for me to test the clip because you provided a flash file. If you could post a quicktime rendered from the project I can probably get you a file that will playback smoothly.
    If there's really some jumps in the render you'll see them if you step through your render one frame at a time.

    Hello everybodyI have few problems.
    1. when I try to launch after effects (juste after the installation), I have this message and I don't know how to fix it 
    After Effects (alert) : Impossible to create the file '/Users/JY/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'.
    2 I just dowload AE CC 2014 fort the first time and It say to me The trial version is over....
    thank you

    if your trial is over, it's over.  there's no easy way to re-start a 30 day trial even if it ends before 30 days, Adobe trial software expired early
    if you only had problem 1, you could probably resolve it by right clicking ae and clicking 'run as administrator'.

    Albert Barbieux
    Derniere question, comme cela fontionnait avant la mise à jour, n'y aurait-il pas moyen de revenir à cette version d'after effect. Pour les pilotes de ma carte graphique, j'ai pu le faire, mais jusqu'à présent cela ne change rien.
    Je dois dire aussi que je ne sais plus modifier mes anciens projets qui utilisent after effet, puisqu'il se plante à l'ouverture.
    Bien à vous

  • After effect CC 12.2 Crash - Dynamiclinkmanager.app??

    Bonjour,
    je viens d'installer plusieurs logiciels de la suite CC. (after effect + speedgrade + photoshop) en version d'évaluation pour le moment.
    J'ai installé ces logiciels via Adobe Créative Cloud Installer sur un iMac avec Maverick 10.9.1. Le système est tout frais de ce matin (formatage bas niveau + instal du système).
    Malheureusement, j'ai un message d'erreur l'orsque j'essai de lancer After Effects :
    Et impossible de lancer Media Encoder... il plante aussi au démarrage mais sans message d'erreur…
    J'ai vu que ce Dynamiclinkmanager.app sert à lier des progs travaillant ensemble, si j'ai bien compris dans mon cas ce serait AE + SpeedGrade…
    J'ai essayer de :
    - Désinstaller, réinstaller After Effects
    - Démarer sans les extensions, réparer les autorisations (AE se lance en mode sans extensions)
    - J'ai vu sur internet que c'etait peut etre lié au droits d'un fichier dans les préférences utilisateurs (utilisateur/biblio/preferences/adobe/after effects/12.0 et 12.2). J'ai tous mis en lecture et ecriture, rien n'y fait.
    Est-ce qu'une âme charitable pourrait m'aider ?
    Merci !!

    Désolé mais personne à pu me répondre... chez adobe comme sur le net.
    J'ai un peu tt essayer. Au bout d'un moment, étant un peu désespéré, j'ai
    reformaté le tout, réinstallé est j'ai créer un nouvel utilisateur avec nom
    factice. La je vois que ça marche.... Voulant garder le meme utilisateur
    qu'avant (même nom et même mot de passe/réglages etc. sur mon réseau) je
    passe sous le nouvel utilisateur >> j'efface l'ancien qui posait problème
    >> je recrée un nouvel utilisateur avec le meme nom et infos que celui qui
    posait souci... et la, en bootant sur ce nouvel utilisateur, meme *****....
    AE et AMC ne se lance pas.
    J'ai du donc changer encore d'utilisateur mais avec nouveau nom et
    nouvelles infos... incompréhensible !

  • I am new to After Effects and Motion 5 and I have a question

    Hello there,
    I am currently working on a personal side project for a family member. She would like me to make a video with recorded audio and pictures from the 1920’s for my grandmother. I would like to give the parallax and 2.5D effect a try but as I never used After Effects or Motion before I am a little overwhelmed.
    I have about 80 images to animate. Right now I am in the ‘Photoshop phase’. I am going through each image and separating the foreground, mid-ground, and background, into separate layers and saving the .psd files to eventually bring into Motion 5 (or After Effects) and animate.
    After seeing this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrYyX3bHI8
    I really wanted to animate the images I had in a similar fashion. I really loved how they seemed to move and know that I can accomplish this appearance with the pin tool in After Effects. After seeing this video however, I continued looking into the 2.5d effect and found this movie for Motion 5:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxlm2nkVLA
    I bought Motion 5 because I thought the interface seemed more user friendly to newcomers (like myself), the effects were similar, and because I couldn’t afford to pay for After Effects every month.
    But now I am kicking myself. Motion 5 is lovely and I do like the camera effects but I don’t think I can accomplish the ‘puppet’ effect with it like I can in After Effects. Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a plugin for Motion 5? Can I send my .psd files into Motion 5, set up the timeline and cameras, save it, and then move it into After Effects and then use the pin tool to manipulate the images and layers?
    I have read that some say it is hard to move Motion files into After Effects? If this is the case, could I save the Motion file, open it in Adobe Premiere, and THEN open it in After Effects and play around with it?
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.

    2.5D is fairly easy to do in Motion... that's the good news. The bad news is: if you don't know what you need to do to accomplish it, it's practically impossible to do easily or well.
    The first problem to overcome is perspective, and the other problem is parallax.
    These two tutorials (by Mark Spencer) will give you all the information you need dealing with moving Photoshop Layers in Z-space. Even though the point of the tutorials is a "fly through", the same information applies to creating 2.5D. Just animate the camera laterally (sweep) instead of dolly.

  • After Effects not starting at all, stops at "initializing user interface"

    I installed CS5 master collection trial version on W7 64 bit machine.
    After Effects  doesn't load at all (it stops at "initializing user interface") and it's  even impossible to kill the  process in windows (never had this problem with any app). I can shut down all  the other processes, like dynamiclinkmanager.exe  or Adobe QT32  Server.exe, but aftereffects.exe  just won't stop and I need to restart my PC.
    Also  Premier crashes after I click 'new project', or try to open something,  but the application starts and I do see the whole GUI.
    I updated Quicktime, as well as my video card  drivers. All  other apps in the master collection seem to work fine. Uninstalled the  whole thing twice (with the remove preferences option), cleaned the registry with a comodo system clean up utility,  reinstalled also twice- nothing. Tried with the firewall turned off and  quick time completly uninstalled - nothing changed.

    can you rename or delete "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\10.0"
    can you rename or delete for max 11
    "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2011 - 64bit\enu"

  • Adobe After Effects in 32-bit

    How can i run Adobe After Effects CS5 on my 32-bit computer?

    You can't.  It's impossible. End of story.
    You need to have a computer capable of running a 64-bit operating system like the latest Apple OS 10 -- which cat name are they up to now, Ocelot or something? --- or Windows 7.
    Now, when you you get the Creative Suite CS5 installation disks, Adobe thoughtfully includes the previous 32-bit versions of Premiere and AE.  But since you're paying for all those new 64-bit bells & whistles, it does seem a little silly, n'est-ce pas?   It's intended as an intermediate measure.
    Go get yourself a new computer and operating system.  And if you can't, put up with what you have.
    I personally had to wait 9 months before I could afford a new 64-bit machine.
