Exporting Anamorphic PAL footage to After Effects.

Hi,
I am exporting my PAL footage to After Effects as DV-PAL Anamorphic. I have tried various compostion settings on After Effects including DV Widescreen but it still imports back into FCP at a different aspect ratio.
Does anyone know what settings I should use?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Hi,
Ok I just took a piece of footage out of FCP into AFX comp settings PAL DV/D1 Widescreen 720x576 Aspect ratio 1.42.
I out put from AFX using DV Settings for the render settings and Quicktime DV PAL 48KHz for the output module.
I brought the AFX clip back into FCP on top of the original and did a 50% vertical crop on the clip in the Upper channel they match perfectly!
Not sure if I've done anything different to you but it works for me . . I suppose there is a possibility if you are using any 3rd party filters on the footage it might munge it in someway, if so using the method I used to check conformity you might be able to nudge the clip back to perfect aspect ratio.

Stuttered footage in After Effects

Who can help me?
When I rendered footage in After effects (6.5) it's a little bit stuttering.
It looks like shooting on progressive scan. The settings are on upper field. It's 16:9 PAL and came out of media 100 editing system.
The only thing we did in AFX is color correction.
Does anyone know this problem?
greeting Jacco

Agree, you probably get very few AE users here. Luckily I am one of them, hee hee.
Try these 2 methods, combine or seperately:
1.Highlight the video layer, then go Main Menu Bar > Effect > Blur and Sharpen > Reduce Interlace Flicker, set the softness value to 1
and/or
2.In your main project window bin, highlight the video clip, and under File > Interpret Footage, toggle between choosing Upper Field first, Lower Filed first or None (or Frame)
You have to see each render result to get the best result.
I am suspecting either you have scale the footage, and/or slow down or speed up the footage, that may cause the stuttering. Filming or source of the footage, its orginal compression type, i.e. the codec, may also cause such "effect"
Cheers

Bringing Premiere ultra keyed footage into after effects with key intact

It there a way to bring in footage I keyed using Premiere ultra into After effects? I much prefer the ultra keyer over anything native to After Effects CS5.5. If not, how do I export and keep intact the aplha channels from the keyed footage into after effects? Thirdly, if I have to, how do I remiove the black background I get as a result of a default quick time movie file?

You can not export a clip with alpha from PPRO.
Easiest way is just doing the key in Keylight - AEFX ( which is far more powerful and flexible than Ultra Key . As good as it is, it has its limits)

Exporting layers of audio from After Effects cs6 to Premiere / or Audition? Is this possible?

exporting layers of audio from After Effects cs6 to Premiere / or Audition? Is this possible?
Help - I have an After effects project with multiple layered files and want to copy these to Premiere / Audition. For example I know if you select multiple video files from After Effects these can be pasted straight into Premiere intact - but this does not work with audio. I want to take existing layered audio files from After Effects to Audition / or Premiere but can't copy and paste - is there a simple solution for this?

Hi thanks Dave for responding - yes that could work as a 'workaround' - I was hoping there would be a way I can keep the existing independent audio layers and corresponding audio levels from After Effects- in the same way I can copy and paste video files from After Effects to Premiere - rather than exporting a flattened AIFF /WAV from After Effects.
This would then allow me a lot more control working on the final edit - especially as currently a lot of the audio layers overlap. It does seem there is no simple solution for this, so otherwise I can do what you suggest - and 'stagger all the audio files' in sequence so they do not overlap on the timeline and then when I import the flattened exported AIFF file into Audition/ Premeire / I then can cut it up again and recreate the overlaps. Was hoping there might be a simple copy + paste method or other 'export method' but I guess this is simply not possible. It would save me about 7 hours of work, but not the end of the world I guess
One final point - some of the audio clips are .mp3s but the majority are WAVS, hopefully this should not create any issues on the export.
thanks again for your help, if you or anyone has any other solution pls let me know
Best

My video won't "Render and Replace" in Premiere Pro from linked footage in After Effects

I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014 and After Effects CC 2014. I can't get the video to "Render and Replace" in Premiere Pro after editing the original in After Effects. It just freezes on "Analyzing."
In order to see the footage in real time I have to export it to an mp4 then replace the linked footage. The footage is 18 minutes long and it takes more than 5 hours to export it. After I edit the exported version, I have to export it again, which is another 5 hours. This is taking a really long time. I would rather edit the "Rendered" version What am I doing wrong?
Russell

is this just a single clip, or you have the entire 18min loaded in AE as comp? does this happen with new projects and all footage or just some? can you render and replace regular clips that aren't AE comps? if its just a few clips of the 18min project, can you render previews in premiere? if its just a few clips, could also render them out in AE and swap them out in premiere instead of using render and replace... or maybe temporarily disable the ae effects/layers while editing in premiere and then turn them back on when ready to export final render.

Exporting edited PE9 files into After Effects?

Is it possible to import edited Premiere Elements 9 files into After Effects to apply effects?
Thanks in advance

Steve,
I respectfully disagree on this point.
You can put an uncompressed AVI into Premiere Elements and output an uncompressed AVI from Premiere Elements -- but the video is compressed a DV while it's in the program so there's no way to avoid the issue of compression
If one starts with DV-AVI, there is slight lossy compression, but PrE is natively editing that DV-AVI footage. Now, if one Exports/Shares to DV-AVI, again there is a slight lossy compression, but if they Export/Share to Lagarith, or UT, there is no loss, though there is compression. AE can work with the lossless material fine, so no need for it to re-compress, and no need to introduce loss. When one Exports from AE (no ADL - Adobe Dynamic Link between AE & PrE), again with a lossless CODEC, that IS turned into DV-AVI, when back in PrE, but two levels of lossy compression have been eliminated from the workflow, and eliminating any compression that is lossy is my goal for ultimate quality.
The beauty of Lagarith, or UT, is that the files are much smaller, than with AVI Uncompressed, so other than the encoding porttion of the workflow (both CODEC's are quite fast), the resources needed are greatly reduced.
An extreme example of the use of compressed material is where one produces a DVD (MPEG-2 CODEC, which IS highly-compressed), and then uses that compressed material in a new Project, outputting again to MPEG-2 for a DVD. If one can go to the material, before the first MPEG-2 Encoding, thus saving one level of compression, the qualtiy is much better. Again, this is an extreme example, and the DV/DVC CODEC in a DV-AVI is no where nearly so bad, as with MPEG-2.
Are the extra steps worth the effort? Only the user can determine that.
Just my observations, when creating and editing intermediate files. For me, the advantage outweighs the encoding time, as quality is as high, as I can obtain.

Issues with Quicktime in Mavericks. I cant export to quicktime codecs in After Effects Or Premiere

Hi,
I recently updated to OS Mavericks. And in the beginning I really liked the update, but I recently fired up my After Effects CC and Premiere CC to work on some animation videos I had to produce for client. And when I wanted to export my animation. I could not find my Quicktime Codec settings like. H264, Mp4, Apple Pro res or any other quicktime codec. I read some articles on issues with Mavericks/Qucktime and this export problem in After Effects and Premiere. But I could not find a solution. It used to work on 10.8.5!
I tried this... But it did not work ;-(
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktim e-files-in-after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quick time-component.html
I tried to uninstall perian. But did not help at all. They even discontinued the product.
Does anyone else stumbled on this problem? Or maybe has a solution? I thought of downgrading to 10.8.5 But that is not ideal because I don't have a Time machine Backup from that period or earlier. And otherwise I have to collect all my data, emails, pictures etc. I seriously could use some help!

After uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Adobe CC suite and all QuickTime components I was still dead in the water. I then tried another User account on my computer and AE and AME worked perfectly with fast startup and all QT/H.264 components in place. This established the problem was in my main User directory...
After some backing up, I deleted all Adobe and com.Adobe.whatever files from User/Library/Preferences and then restarted the computer. I then copied all Adobe and com.Adobe.whatever files from the other user folder and restarted and found that After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder were working perfectly:

Best export format for importing into After Effects or even back into Premiere

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 high 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

Okay, here's where I stand at this point regarding exporting and/or dynamic linking between AfterEffects and Premiere.
I'm in After Effects. I create a composition I like. So I first tried the old fashioned way. I exported it into a MOV file with the animation preset. Millions of colors. Same frame rate as my Premiere project, which also uses MOV files with no problem.
Howver when I import the MOV file created by After effects, the NEW MOV file section of the premier project plays sluggish. And it also causes the videos that follow to play sluggish. And they are all MOV files at the same frame rate.
The same thing happens when I do a dynamic link between the two projects. A sluggish response starting with the After Effects dynamic link and affecting the MOV video files that follow.
It's a very short After Effects composition. About 3 second slong.
I have a very powerful computer built especially for CS5 and premiere --so that should not be an issue -- recently was in the top ten of the benchmark list.
Up to this point my video files have played perfectly layer upon layer with no problems.
Is there something I am not considering?
Thanks.

Export Audition Spectral Display to After Effects

I want to analyze sounds in Audition, then export the combined waveform and spectral displays, along with the sounds, to After Effects, where I will add text.
First step, I suppose, would be to save Audition display (as .mov, I suppose).
Is this correct?
Is it possible?
How should I start?
Thanks,
George

You will need some screensaver software to save Audition's graphics.

How to export 4K H264 direct from After Effects?

When we try exporting our 4K project (4096x1707) direct form After Effects using H264 we get the yellow mismatch warning at the bottom. It then resizes the file to 2000x1707. Other formats work fine. If we take it to Media Encoder then H264 works fine but took over 30 hrs to render vs 6.5 hrs coming from AE using another codec. Is there a way to correct this?
Thanks
Mike

Short of motion picture theaters, I can't think of anything that can even play back in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
What device are you using for playback, and what kind of device are you using to show it? And if you have delivery specifications from someone else, what are they?

No option for export pro res 422 from after effects cs6

There is no option for export prores 422 from after effects cs6 on new mac os 10.8.2 shows up and works on older mac 10.6.8
How can I get this option back?

I will guess that you used to have Final Cut Pro, but you no longer have it. Generally, only machines with Final Cut Pro installed are able to write to ProRes 422.
There are third-party codec packages that do write to the ProRes family of codecs. They have been discussed in this forum, and you could search for their names. I'm sorry to say that I don't remember them.

Wie kann man den kompletten Pfad für fehlendes Footage in After Effects anzeigen lassen?

Hallo ich habe kürzlich mal wieder After Effects Projekte von einem auf den anderen Rechner transferiert. Diese habe ich lediglich kopiert und nicht die Dateien gesammelt.
Jetzt kommt es "natürlich" regelmäßig vor, dass AE beim Laden fehlendes Material anzeigt. Manchmal verständlich, manchmal nicht sofort nachvollziehbar warum gerade DIESES Material/Footage wieder fehlt.
Nun wird ja im Projekte-Fenster der ursprüngliche Pfad des Materials angezeigt. Aber trotz ausreichend Platz immer nur ein kleiner Teil. Das liest sich bei mir z.B. so:
<Fehlt>...intergrund_sommer.jpg
<Fehlt>...ftseiten/GuteNacht-Geschichte.jpg
Es nutzt auch nichts die Spalten weiter aufzuziehen, er zeigt einfach nicht mehr an. Auch ein Doppelklick o.ä. geht nicht.
Ich würde einfach gerne manchmal nur ein einziges Material wieder verlinken und dafür müsste ich es nur finden, bzw. wissen wo es vorher war um nachzuvollziehen auf welchem Archiv es sein könnte...
Ideen?

Hallo Mylenium,
danke für den Hinweis, aber das wusste ich bereits, bzw. beim MAC muss es heißen --> im Finder anzeigen
Es geht aber darum, dass das fehlende Footage ja nicht auf dem Rechner ist, sondern fehlt - in sofern auch nicht angezeigt werden kann. Ich möchte herausfinden wo sich das Footage ursprünglich befunden hat und dafür bräuchte ich den ganzen Pfad angezeigt.

Does Premiere pro CS6 let you edit footage in After effects CC?

I was thinking about buying after effects cc but then i wonder if you still can have a good workflow between adobe after effects cc and adobe premiere pro cs6?
/Ted

Well, if you want just After Effects CC 2014, it is $20 per month. To get After Effects and Premiere Pro would be $40. But getting everything, almost all of the Adobe products, is only $10 more for a total of $50.
If you are in the USA. Otherwise it can be much more expensive.
To buy After Effects CS6 to work with your Premiere Pro CS6, it would cost around $900.

Can I import Red Dragon footage into After Effects?

I keep getting the error that the format might be unsupported, but I thought that Dragon support was part of CC?

> " I thought that Dragon support was part of CC"
Where have you seen that for After Effects CC? I can't find any public mention of that, except in discussions of what's coming in a future version due out soon. Premiere Pro CC (7.1) added RED Dragon import, but camera formats very often start in Premiere Pro and then get integrated into After Effects next.
