What is the main difference between shake and after effects?
Why would one buy shake (other than the price now) over after effects?

search is your friend, dude.

  • Performance difference between After effects and Premiere Pro

    Hi,
    I'm sure this question has come up before and i've found lots of threads talking about After effects performance so I apologise if this is a repeat, i'm very new to Premiere/AE moving from FCP.
    Why is it that performance in Premiere Pro is excellent with real time video playback even when applying effects where if I import that same clip into After Effects I get 15fps on a 720p 50fps clip. Am I missing something, a preference maybe or should I expect this kind of performance without completing a RAM preview first.
    As a note, I'm testing this on a 2012 Macbook Air as I'm planning on doing simple cuts and adjustments on the road.

    Am I missing something,
    Yes. The difference between an edit suite and a compositing program. Seriously, simply accept things as they are and don't try to apply principles from one program to the other when they are based on completely different workflow paradigms which in turn affect the underlying tech stuff.

  • Difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i

    Hi Aii,
    What is the difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Balu

    Hi Balu.,
    As per my findings the After Parameter is fired after the Parameters are given to the report and Before Report fires when the queries are parsed and data is fetched.

  • Difference between After parameter Form Trigger and before Report Trigger

    hi,
    Can some one tell me difference between After parameter form Trigger and Before parameter trigger.
    Why do we need both these trigger , why can't we use any one of them because after parameter trigger will obviously fire before report trigger and similarly before report trigger will fire after parameter form.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi,
    i will make it clear..!
    Actually, we have four type of triggers in reports..!
    Before Parameter -- fires before params are suppied to the calling report..
    After Parameter -- fires after params are suppied to the calling report..
    Before Report -- fires before report is generated..
    After Report. -- fires after report is generated..
    Before Report and After Report triggers are used for formatting the report design..
    like u can specify a report to be displayed based on a condition in the Before
    Report trigger and u can specify some backend updations in the after report trigger
    which fires after report is generated..

  • Difference between After parameter Trigger and befor report Trigger

    hi,
    Can anyone tell me Functional difference between After parameter Trigger and Before Report Trigger. with some practical example or scenario.
    I did try few things but I couldn't make out any difference.
    thanks
    ram

    Probably none at this point.
    We pass parameters from a form (and do not use the report param selection screen), but always run code in the afterpform.
    put your parameter form code processing in the afterpform. I rarely ever use before report.
    The order is as expected:
    before pform
    param form
    after pform
    before report
    report
    --between pages during report run
    after report

  • ProRes conflict between After Effects and FCP!

    Well, I am currently editing a video where I need a lot of after effects / final cut interactions. My sequence settings in FCP is ProRes (HQ), Frame size 1920x1080 (HDTV 1080i) and fps on 29.97, and running latest version of FCP.
    In After Effects CS3, I export the video on these exact settings, and then when I import it in FCP, part of the ending of the clip are always missing. Quicktime player plays the file perfectly. I have heard that this can be a frame per second issue and I was hoping if anyone could please shed some light in this.
    I read here about a similar issue:
    http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/982503#982503
    I have no idea what to try out now, as you all know how it is to get completely stuck and pray that there will be a kind soul out there that could assist.
    Faithfully,
    Felexion

    I did find one solution, if I run Cinema Tools and conform the frame rate to 29.97 (which it is already strangly set it) it fixes everything. But to do this manually everytime is not ideal. I heard that this can be fixed if I set the frame rate to its exact rate. Is there any more exact number to 29.97? Like for instance I know after effects renders 23.98 when FCP takes 23.976 and thats big difference...
    Any help would be appreciate!

  • Difference Between Adobe After Effects Standard and Pro for Mac

    Hi Gang
    Can anyone tell me the major differences between After Effects 7.0 'Standard' and 'Pro 7.0' for Mac?
    Thanx
    Mike

    AE 7 Pro contained additional features (such as motion tracking/stabilization) and plugins/effects that were not included in the Standard version.
    With the release of CS3, Adobe abandoned the Standard/Pro segregation - now there is only one professionally-featured After Effects.

  • Gamma shift  from After Effects

    Hi,
    We had to apply graphic work over a QuickTime Uncompressed 8 bit footage from Final Cut Pro.
    The graphic work was done in After Effects.
    The After Effect output was done using QuickTime Uncompressed 8 bit, the very same codec.
    ...but all the footage has a gamma shift ( upward ) and a slightly increased color saturation...
    What's wrong ?
    If we export Uncompressed 8 bit from FCP and reimport in FCP, there is NO gamma shift. ...so it seems to be an After Effect setting (or problem).
    thanks !

    Well I must specify that we haven't had any problems with gamma when working between After Effects and FCP in Mac OS X. It's just if you bring some material from PC to MAC you might notice that graphics are too bright, because FCP thinks all the RGB material is made with gamma 1.8. So FCP maps RGB colors to YUV (television colorspace used by DV, Uncompressed 8-bit etc.) with gamma 1.8.
    BTW FCP doesn't collaborate with color management in OS X. So it doesn't make any difference how FCP handles RGB material if you change OS X gamma to 2.2.
    FCP works in YUV and After Effects in RGB so that's why you don't see gamma problems when exporting material from FCP. I think you should first check from Apple Software Update you have the newest Pro Applications Update. I remember Uncompressed 8-bit codec had this kind of gamma problem with After Effecs couple updates before.

  • Going to buy some books on after effects. Which ones do you suggest?

    I'll be ordering them from amazon.co.uk so the selection is slightly worse than amazon.com's
    Here's whats available:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_13?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords =after+effects&x=0&y=0&sprefix=After+effects
    Anyone have any experience with these?

    >What do you guys think about buying books that are for CS4 when I have CS5?
    >  Big difference or barely noticable?
    I say to go for it. In fact, going back to CS3 is still valuable for good tutorials and books. Further than that gets confusing.
    The big changes in After Effects CS5 from CS4 were under the hood: the 64-bit port and lots of performance and memory improvements. And we added a few big things that are pretty well isolated, such as Roto Brush---which is great, but it doesn't change the way that a lot of other things are done. There weren't very many little changes, which are the things that would make using a book from a different version difficult.
    Here's a complete list of changes between After Effects CS4 and After Effects CS5.

  • After Effects unable to render error -1610153464

    I use Adobe CS6. Today, I upgraded to CC. I work on a MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM, and the latest OS X, Mountain Lion. Here's my dilemma.
    Although I own the CS6 Master Collection, I have never used After Effects. So, I am an AE newbie. For years I have mainly used the other apps, PhotoShop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, InDesign, etc.
    I wanted to prepare a presentation for my company. I purchased an After Effects template that I liked. http://videohive.net/item/new-company-presentation/5182042
    When I opened the template I received the following message: "After Effects: this project must be converted from version 9.0 (Windows) and will open as an untitled project. The original file swill be unchanged."
    After quite some time creating and preparing all my samples in a Quicktime movies I was ready to customize the AE template.
    Following the AE template author's instructions I was able to customize the template, editing text, importing my movies. When I added the "Final Comp" to the Render Cue, and then started rendering, I immediately got the following error: "After Effects error: Rendering error while writing to file '/Users/...Final Comp.mov'. An output device module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupt. (-1610153464)"
    I tried rendering the original unedited file. Same error.
    I tried researching solutions.
    I turn off my firewall. "blockage in the communication between After Effects and the Adobe QT32 Server." http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/02/troubleshooting-quicktime-errors-with-after-ef fects.html
    I tried removing a third-party Quicktime importer components. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/startup-screen-hangs-premiere-after.html
    I tried exporting the file from AE to Premier Pro. But, got the following message when opening the file in Premier:
    "The preset is used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, then install any third-party components that are required and reopen the project." Note: The author of the AE template said that no external plug-ins were used, that everything was created in AE.
    Also, when opening the file in Premier, a "Load Project" window open listing the following:
    "Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Color Control
    "Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Fill
    "Video filter missing: AE.ADBE Slider Control"
    I attempted to do a render from Premier anyway. But, got the following error: "Could not connect to Adobe After Effects. Please verify that Adobe After Effects and Adobe Dynamic Link components are installed." I checked, They are!
    I finally "bit the bullet" and upgrade to, and installed the Creative Cloud version of After Effects hoping that this may be a solution.
    Today, I installed After Affects CC. This time when I began the render, AE started to render. Then, after a couple seconds of video being generated the same errors reappeared!
    Can anyone offer some guidance as to how I can get this resolved?

    Today, I created a whole new project. Imported an Adobe Illustrator file with five layers. One background layer, the rest were text layers. The entire project is 11 seconds. I made some minor effects to the text in After Effects, position, and opacity. Went to render it, and the same error appeared.
    I have the error log file if it will help.
    Please help.

  • Premiere (and After Effects) CS6 won't open anymore!

         Hi everyone,
    Recently, I've been working on a project which required a dynamic link between After Effects and Premiere CS6 on my MacBook Pro, which runs OSX Mountain Lion. Everything worked great until yesterday, when I got an error message that said something along the lines of "Adobe Premiere has encountered an error. We will try to save your project and restart Premiere again".
         I re-opened Premiere, and although the same thing happened again a few times, I was finally able to get back to my project. Today, however, the same message appeared when I opened it again. I went through the same routine again, opening it and then exiting out, but this time, it didn't work.
         Not only is Premiere not opening, it is no longer even showing the error message. It simply goes to the loading screen and the the infamous "Spinning Beach Ball of Death" appears. I've force quit multiple times and re-started my computer with every application closed. I've also relaunched Finder (I honestly don't think that would help, but I tried anyways) - still, the loading sign freezes and the SBBOD appears again.
         Instead of sitting there trying to fix it and wasting my time, I tried opening After Effects to at least work on the linked compositions that were in my Premiere project. I then get this message before After Effects force quits automatically:
    "Last log message was: <140735255806336> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3
    Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes."
    So, apparently this has something to do with my GPU or CPU? I'm not really that educated when it comes to GPUs, so I'm not sure what to do now. I have a CUDA Driver Version 5.5.47 on my computer (I'm not entirely sure how it got there in the first place...), and System Preferences has been notifying me that it needs to be updated. I heard somewhere, on a different forum, that this may have something to do with it, so I downloaded what I thought was a newer version of the driver, although this just turned out to be the same version (5.5.47) that I already have (which seems to be the newest one).
    So, what do you think I should do? Is there something very specific that should be done? Does it have something to do with this CUDA thing? Is the best option to just uninstall and then reinstall?
    If you have any ideas, let me know!
    Thank you!

    Thank you so much, Mr. Curtis! I'm not sure exactly how that worked, but it allowed me to get back on both AE and Premiere Pro. 10 points to you!
    Also, for the  other people that may have similar problems and are viewing this forum, definitely try this out. Listen to Jim's advice, don't use the most recent version (which is currectly 5.5.47) - instead try a slightly older one. The one I had installed was version 5.5.24.
    Once again, thank you! You saved my project!

  • How to work with Premiere Pro cs5.5 and After Effects cs5 together?

    I have edited my movie in premiere pro cs5.5 and made the rough cut. In premiere, i have edited the video, put in soundtrack and foley. Now, i need to add muzzle flashes & blood splatters in some scenes and final color correction using After Effects cs5.
    When i import the premiere project in AE and make the changes, and then i export it back as premiere project. When i open this prmiere project, it shows vaious kind of errors and no changes are retained that i did in AE. Also, when i import the premiere project (which has 4 different sequences) in AE, all the media that has been imported in the premiere project also opens in AE making it difficult to organize the media.
    How should i work now so that i add vfx and color correction using AE cs5?
    I thought of exporting the video from Premiere pro and then open the video in AE and add vfx to some scenes and color correction to the full video and render it out again. But, this is the first time i am using AE and i am not sure if this is the best way. PLEASE HELP.
    Or, i could import the whole project in AE, add vfx, do color correction AND then export to video from AE. But i think, it will be better if i export the video from Premiere as it has loads of options to choose from while exporting to a movie.
    The dynamic link does not work between Premiere Pro Cs5.5 and After Effects cs5. Even if it does, its not working on my pc.
    All the footage is in HD and i want the final result in best quality HD too. PLEASE Help!

    If you are working between After Effects and Premiere Pro but with versions that are not the same number, you need to just work with movies rendered and exported as intermediate, lossless files.
    Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro of the same version number, and only when they are installed as part of the same suite.

  • Subscriber After Effects CC 2014 has the right to license the previous After Effects for free?

    I need license the After Effects CS5 for professional use, why do I need create templates for every type of user of After Effects, from CS5 to the CC.
    I know there's no way to sign Ae CS5 license, then Ae signing CC will have the freedom to also use the Ae CS5 with same license of CC?
    Or is there a way to license the Ae CS5?

    There are many versions between After Effects CS5 and the current version of After Effects CC. There are very few users still using the old After Effects CS5.
    The current version of After Effects---After Effects CC 2014.1 (13.1)---can open After Effects CS5 files just fine, so you can use the current version to take in work by people still on that very old version.

  • What is the best video format for importing into After Effects CS5

    Please look at this video, work in progress.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49_wbdKALQk
    The opening, featuring a ribbon of videos, was created in After Effects, using Digieffects Freeform.
    The  issue is the poor quality of the videos that are featured in the  opening -- compared to the higher quality of videos from the original Premiere  project., which you can see at the end of the clip.
    To create the After Effects project, I exported a series of video clips from Premiere  to mp4.
    Then I imported them into AfterEffects.
    The bottom line, and the purpose of this question, is I am thinking that  MP4 was not the best choice for the Adobe Premiere export.
    What  is the best format to export video from in Premiere Pro CS5 to import  into after effects, or to import into any other editing program,  incuding importing right back into Adobe Premiere, if that is eever  needed.
    AVI?
    MOV
    MP4
    And any other settings that will result with the highest qualiity videos for importing.
    Thanks

    To follow on with Wade's suggestion...
    There are lots of ways to get movies and projects and other things back and forth between After Effects and Premiere Pro. This page outlines them:
    "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects"
    If you must render and export a movie out of one application to bring it into another, there is a very basic piece of video workflow advice that you need to keep in mind (which applies to _all_ video software, not just After Effects and Premiere Pro):
    If you're creating a movie to be used in the next step of a post-production pipeline, you _never_ want to use a format that does lossy compression. You either use no compression or (preferable) lossless compression. Examples of codecs that provide lossless compression are the Animation codec and PNG codec at the highest quality settings; these can be used in a QuickTime container, for example. Never compress a movie with lossy compression except at the very end of your pipeline, when you're creating the final movie for distribution.
    MP4 (MPEG-4) is a lossy codec. The quality loss is acceptable for the last stage in the pipeline, but it's not acceptable for an intermediate file.
    It seems that you would benefit from reading this and and working your way through this.
