Do I add my effects to a clip in After Effects before or after every thing is pieced together in Premier Pro?

Should I put all the effects in my clips that I need to do in After effects and then add them into Premier Pro with my other clips or do I piece all my clips together in Premier Pro first and then move to After Effects? Thanks

It depends on the project.
Got one or two shots that need a little "gee whiz" from AE? Import them, and include handles.
Got a whole show to color correct and color grade? Get edit lock, then bring in the whole show.

Is there a way to add an effect to multiple clips?

I am trying to add an effect to all of my clips. I tried selecting them all and dragging the effect... and nothing.
Am I missing something?

Copy the clip with the effect. Select the clips you want to apply it do. Use Edit>Paste Effects.

Add Multiple Effects to a Single Clip at Different Times

Ok, first post here. Just a little history about myself, I am a senior member of the Sony Vegas board, power user of Photoshop, newb of Premiere, and total newb of After Effects. I have looked at every tutorial, PDF, help manual, Google, FAQ, etc. (In other words I have done my due diligence before posting) for the past 6 weeks and feel as though I know next to nothing :/
So many questions, so few brain cells...........The current problem I am having is; say I have a clip in the time line and I want to add an effect to it 10 seconds in (use 'shatter' as an example). When I add the effect, it begins at the start of the clip, so I found the Ctrl + Shift + D trick and thought that would take care of it, but the effect is still in the same point in time (10 seconds) in the newly created clip. I have tried shortening the clip, but it acts more like slip editing and doesn't seem to help. How can I get this to work, and then heaven forbid if I want to add another effect at a later point on the clip? Over the years, I have helped hundreds of people, and answered thousands of posts, I hope someone will take the time to help me. Thanks

You picked a complex one to start off.... The simplest way to get the right timing would be to pre-compose and thus isolate all the timing from the main comp. If you want to stick with the effect in the main comp, then you must animate all the force parameters, including the force value, radius and also the gravity parameter. A third option would be to create a gradient map and animate its threshold. Such a map is simply a greyscale and based on the distribution of the brightness can control which pieces explode first, allowing for some interesting effects when combined with the forces.

Add multiple effects to a title and to a video

I have an edited video and inserted a title before the video starts. I would like to have the title zoom and while zooming, fade in. I apply the zoom to the begining of the title on my timeline, edit the duration and the start and end size then try to add a fade but the fade overwrites the zoom. On all the videos I found, they drag and drop the effects onto the clips on the timeline (I have to add them to either the front or back) then it appears on the Effect Controls under Video Effects. When I do it, I do not see the effect under that, I can only see the effect options when I click on the effect on the time line.
I have tried the same thing to the video itself and can only add one effect to each clip.
What am I doing wrong? How can I add multiple effects to things on my timeline?

Here is a +1 for Jim's suggestion to look into Keyframing the Fixed Effect>Motion>Scale, to create your Zoom.
You could well explore Keyframing another Fixed Effect>Opacity, to have more control over your Fade-In too.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do you add video effects-slow motion

Not real happy with 08 over previous versions but I would like to gain back some of the functionality that I regularly used. How do I add special effects, such as slow motion to a video clip or a portion of a video clip.

How do you do it IMovie HD in Ilife 08?
Both applications can be run on the same computer. Use whichever application best serves your needs. If you need a lot of plug-in effects, use HD. If few or nor effects other than standard transitions and titles are required and speed is paramount, then use iMovie '08. If you like being innovative and want to try your hand at creating your own effects, use iMovie '08 and learn how perform pre- and post-edits to create your own fast motion, slow motion, stop motion, pseudo time lapse, still framed, backgrounded, blended, layered, picture-in-picture, etc. that may "tickle your fancy."

In Premiere Pro I have no shape tools when I add Mosaic effect?

I want to make an oval mask over a video of my son playing basketball so he is easily seen during basketball game video.
I saw a video about the new tracking using Mosaic effect but when I add that effect I do not get the shape tools....I did see where it says it does not work with Warp Stabilizer but I never added that to the video?
How do I turn off Warp stabilizer or where do I find my shape tools?
I'm using Windows 8
Current Premiere Pro CC
Thank you for your help!

all of these will be in the effect controls window for the selected clip. if it shows no Warp Stabilizer effect listed, it shouldn't be active. you need to add an effect such as RGB curves or fast color corrector if you want to change brightness/contrast with the mask. this mask tool was a recent addition to the adobe software, so if you have an older version of premiere you may not have these.

Green Flashes on Preview screen and final produc when i add certain effects

When i add an effect, such as speed up a video clip, when it is rendered i get green flashes when i preview it and when it is fully rendered. Can anyone explain this, as it makes for very poor viewing.
thanks

Download MPEGstreamclip (I gave you the link in my previous post), it is free.
Then you'll need to export the clips as QT movie > ProRes or DV.
Read this useful tutorial:

Instructions apply to your case (dealing with h.264) too.

How to add an effect again (or effects with similar outcome) or "merge effects"?

Hi,
May I bother you with a question?
Can I add the same effect twice? OR can I "merge layers", similar to PS, then add a new batch of effects?
I have experienced the same problem a couple of times, here is an example:
1. I stabilize my clip (by motion tracking including rotation. dozens of keyframes are added to the transformation->rotation of the layer)
2. The result is crooked and I want to rotate it.
3. The only (very bad) options I see: edit each keyframe, by adding my -5°; or rendering it and editing it again
I had the same problem with plug-ins that have effect e.g. on transformation. Once I use it, the former settings are overwritten.
I guess there is a simple answer I should be able to find in the FAQ's or tutorials, but after 2 hours I'm either blind or a fool. Could you please help me?

I'm relatively new to AE but have PS experience. Win7, CS5, 1080p, 8GB, i5,

I found another great way to make it work (even though I'll just use it, when the null-object ect. won't work):
It's called "precomposed layers" and works really well, especially because it allows you to edit compositions that have "time distortion" and "time stretching" enabled. once you have a layer that has some time-relevant effects and want to add another effect (e.g. tracking, or twixtor...), select the layer (or several), use "Ctrl + shift + C" and select the second option. the layer is then replaced by a new untouched layer of the clip. that clip links to the edited original clip (which kind of hides under it).
In PS speech: you merge the layers, but have access to the unmerged layers
I needed it to use tracking on time stretched clips and also in combination with twixtor

How do I add an effect to a SmartShape on hover?

How do I add an effect to a smartshape on hover. For example, I've created a green rectangle which is a smartshape and is being used as a button. I have two instances of this button on a slide and am trying to do the following:
1) SmartShape A (Green rectangle) = On hover, I want this green rectangle to change it's fill color to blue.
2) SmartShape B (Green rectangle) = On hover, I want this rectangle to have a 4px yellow border (the original had no border, i.e. stroke width =0)
How would I do this without using additional objects?
For example, I don't want to have a duplicate of this smartshape (for each instance), that is used as a rollover shape which superimposes the original shape on hover -- I dont even know if that would work, sounds okay in theory though.
But it would be great if someone could help me with this, I've been struggling for some time to figure out this effect.
Thanks so much,
Sean

LOL, in the words of my father: Wish in one hand and spit in the other. See which one gets full faster!
It's the same issue I have with the title of an old book written by Napoleon Hill. Its name is "Think and Grow Rich". It's missing a word! *ACT*. Nobody just thinks and grows rich. Everyone must *ACT* on their thoughts.
So that's why I'm posting. Sure, it's great to state that you wish something were a certain way in Captivate or any other app. What you need to do is to tell Adobe about it. And you do that by visiting the link below and completing the wish form!

How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13? When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position. Could not 'cut and paste'.

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO ADD SPECIAL EFFECTS TO MY MOVIES

Hi i am making a video using a green screen. I used to be able to double click my video on the project bin and choose a special effect such as romantic or black and white. Now i can no longer do this. It brings up video stabalization, audio and video where you can change the color and contrast but no special effects. I have tried both on project bin and importing. I can add special effects to text but not video. Could this be because of green screen effect or length of video?? This is before and after adding a background for the green screen. I am sorry if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything on this.

Quit the Videos app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work - try this. Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

Add File Properties/Summary to render in After Effects?

Is there a way to add file description info to a render in after effects?
For instance:
I want to render out my sequence as an WMV - set up the render and output settings for that etc.
Once it's rendered I want to be able to right click on the file in Windows, click Properties, go to the Summary tab and see a specific title, let's say "Happy Bunnies" in the "Title" space in the description - Or if I open it in window media player, I want it to say "Happy Bunnies" as the title under "Now playing"
I don't want the file name to be Happy Bunnies.wmv - just the title of the video.
Is it possible to add properties like that to the output settings in After Effects? If I have 10 videos, I don't want to have to change that in all of them individually in windows - but rather add it to an output template in after effects.
thanks

Good question, but for the most part I believe the answer is No. The real question here is, how this metadata gets added and AE does not support Title, Author and so on. when you do this in Media Player, it also only exists locally in your Library until you choose to update your media information. The only AE supports are chapters. When you add markers to a timeline and enter text in teh Chapter field, it will appear in the respective menu in WMP. short of that, you will have to use otehr tools, it seems. Windows Media Encoder is free, so that would be one option otehr tools, e.g. the one bundled with Nero Burning ROM also can as can of course several alternative commercial converters.

Every time I add a light to a scene in After Effects the program freezes

This just started happening?? Please help
Every time I add a light to a scene in After Effects the program freezes

What is your After Effects version number? You said you're running "CS6", so the version number should start with 11. The latest version of CS6 is 11.0.4 - do you have that? (The latest version of AE is 13.2.0.49, in case anyone was wondering).
Do you have your comp set to standard renderer or ray-traced?
What are your computer specs?
Also, what Rick and Bogiesan asked.
