FCP + After Effects + Color Workflow Question

Forgive me if this is a naive question. I would like to know what is the best way to work between FCP, Color, and After Effects. This is the first project I'm working on that requires all three applications.
All my shots are done in DVCPro HD and imported into FCP. DVCPro is not really supported in Color so I learned that they should be converted to ProRes (right?). In Color I will be adding a vignette effect and color grading so I know it has to be last otherwise my texts and mattes in AE will look like they're on top of the video.
My problem with that is almost every shot will have an AE effect in it so it's easier to dump the whole timeline into AE using popcorn's XML script. But once I export it from AE and put it back into FCP it is one clip but color correction and effects has to be done differently for each clip and I can't do that in Color with the single AE clip I just rendered. So I'm kind of lost, is my only option to add effects in AE one clip at a time and return them to FCP?
Also am I right that Color only supports Apple ProRes? DVCPro HD hasn't worked so far.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello David.
Regarding your question about DVCPro HD support, it is supported as an Importable format, but Color cannot render out in DVCPro HD. Color supports ProRes across the board. Here's a list of supported formats:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/color/usermanual/index.html#chapter=4%26sectio n=9%26tasks=true
After Effects really isn't part of my normal workflow, so I can't really comment on it, other than I've had a lot of problems with 10.0.1 and ProRes. That problem has caused me to eliminate AE from any workflow that I use here.

After Effects Color Settings

Hello Everyone.
I noticed Inside File-Project Settings- Color Settings, My working space is set to None. Is this color setting works like the Photoshop, that you have either Adobe RGB 1998, or ProPhoto RGB ?
Also In The Dept, It is set to 8 bit.
My Images, are Originally Raw Shots 16 bit and later saved as a .Tiff format. and their color setting is Adobe RGB 1998, Or ProPhoto RGB. 16 bit and some In 8 bit , and some of my Images
Have been saved for the web are sRGB, 8 bit. And my Videos are from Canon 5D, and they are 1920 by 1080 24 fps. I also have many old Shots from my Canon GL1, that are "NTSC not HD".
But I am not sure about this After Effects Color Settings.. Is this color setting has to match the PhotoShop Color setting ?
Thanks.

After Effects CS4 Exporting Question

I am creating several After Effects CS4 compositions that will be used in a Premier Pro CS4 project. Right now I am importing the AE compositions into Premiere with out exporting them first. It is real convenient to be able to click into PP and see the current changes take effect. My question is this, once I am done tweaking a composition should I be exporting it in another format or I is it ok to use the AE file as is? Am I suffering any quality loss by not going to quicktime or one of the other choices?
And in PP you hit enter to render. Is the AE equivalant hitting the space bar and playing the timeline? I see the green line above any changes but I didn't know if there is another step to maximize the quality of the finished product.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you suffered any quality loss, you'd know your settings are wrong. Most commonly people make a mess of field order, which of course you can neatly avoid by using DynamicLink such as you already do. The rest is more or less a matter of personal preference and how much performance is consumed by live rendering the AE compositions vs. how much juice your machine has. You wouldn't use that workflow on very complex projects where rendering a single frame can take up to several minutes, but for straight titles and color corrections it's okay.

The green line refers to frames stored in RAM, the blue ones to the disk cache, should you use it. Read the help files on how to generate RAM previews to populate both caches. After you have RAM-previewed each segement of the timeline and use the disk cache, it may be possible to get realtime spacebar playback, but there is no guarantee for that. After all, AE is primarily foicused on compositing, not RT editing. There's one caveat, however. The disk cache will only be used, if AE thinks it could not render the frames quick enough, so in your simple scenario it may never be used. And of course specific chnages will invalidate caches, so you's have to re-render. It really depends.

After Effects Color Grading Problem

I have imported some footage (about 3 minutes worth) into a single composition in After Effects in order to color correct with Color Finesse. Without even having loaded the plugin (or ANY plugins), the video plays at between 14 and 20 fps with the following error message: "(NOT realtime)". This is at 50% screen size and quarter resolution.
I have a fairly powerful workstation with 12GB ram, Core i7 920, Radeon HD 4650 card and several 7200 RPM HDDs. The footage has been transcoded (details below) and I can't figure out where the breakdown is and what steps I can take to ensure a smoother experience.
If I did something wrong, what's your workflow for doing color corrections out of the T3i or a similar Canon DSLR?
** T3i Quicktime files transcoded to DNxHD Quicktime files. **
Settings as follows:
- DNxHD: 175 10-bit
- Resolution: 1080p
- Color Levels: RGB Levels
- Alpha: None
- Frame Rate: 24 frames
- Interlaced Scaling: unchecked
- Quality: 100%

You don't play, you create RAM previews. Basics of AE. Start here.

FCP After Effects and RAM Issues

Hello,
Recently I have been working on a 1280x720 video project using both FCP 7 and After Effects CS6. I have an early 2011 MBP running 10.6.8 (I'm not a fan of Lion). It's a 2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7. I have been having significant lagging issues with playing back videos in AE and eeven more significant playing them in the timeline of FCP. It has made editing a royal pain. Exports also take a long time.
I had 8GB of RAM but last night, expanded to 16GB. Since then, I have noticed no increase in speed at all. Not opening programs. Not opening files, not exporting files, and not playing back in either program. Maybe I am misunderstood as to what the RAM was supposed to accomplish?
My question is, what can I do to fix this? Do I need a new Hard Drive? Was the RAM upgrade a waste of money. Maybe someone has some suggested settings for Memory and Cache for the two programs?
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris

Chris:
To open an application faster, install a faster hard drive. If you go with an SSD drive, you should notice a huge improvement in how quickly your applications launch. If you just upgrade from a 4,800 RPM or 5,400 RPM drive to a 7,200 RPM drive, then you'll see a modest increase in launch time.
To export files faster from AE, you'll want faster processors (assuming you had enough RAM in the first place). AE tells you at the bottom of the application window how much RAM is being used. While you had 8GB of RAM, you might have seen 42% being used. Increasing your RAM to 16GB would only reduce that percentage to 21%. It would not speed up the render. A faster hard drive can help as well, but not as much as faster processors. Switching from a USB2 thumb drive to your internal drive would boost render speeds. Even if you were working at 1920x1080, it's unlikely that you'd need more than 4GB of RAM. If you happend ot be working at really large Composition sizes or have artwork that is really large (like 18MB still images), AE will tell you exaclty how much more RAM you need when it displays an "insuficient memory" dialog box. If that was happening, then you'd want more RAM.
To "speed up" the playback of video, you need storage media that can maintain the sustained data transfer rate of the file being played. (Unfortunately, more RAM doesn't help for this.) 1280x720 rendered to the Animation codec at best quality and at 8 bits per channel requires 3.5Mb per frame (not including audio). At 30 frames per second, you're looking at 105Mb/second. eSATA was recommended earlier and that's a good option; however, you mentioned that you have a 2011 MacBook Pro. As such, you probably have a Thundebolt port. An external Thunderbolt drive should be able to maintain 105Mb/second with overhead to spare. If you have to use your interal drive, switch from the Animation codec to Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 422 LT. You'll see a good reduction in storage space requirements and your internal drive should be able to maintain the data rate required of APR 422 and APR 422 LT. If you need to have Animation versions of your renders, use Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder to convert the rendered Animation movie to a H264 file and then play that when you need to view the video. Also, _always_ be mindful of how full your drive is. The closer the drive gets to being over 85% to 90% of its maximum capacity, the more likely data transfer rates are going to drop (that is, the drive will not perform as fast as it would have otherwise). If you happen to have upgraded to a hybrid drive or SSD drive, you probably won't have to worry about reaching drive capacity (other than worrying about setting overlfow volumes in AE). You can throw the fastest processor available and the most RAM available at a high data transfer rate movie, but if the storage media isn't fast enough then the storage media isn't fast enough.
Regardless of your OS (32bit vs. 64bit; 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.6 or 10.8), all of the above factors apply.
I'm curious, do you really hope that I choke?

After effects color corrected clip not showing correctly in Premiere

Hello all,
I have recently made a short film with a few effects in Premiere and After effects CS4. I have used the Dynamic Link to accomplish this. I have added color correction with Color Finesse in After effects. The problem is I some of the color correction is not showing up in Premiere once it has finished. Some of them are adjustment layers and some are not and the ones that are showing up are diverse like that as well. I have rendered the footage and rendered the premiere time line, it fixes it at first but won't build a DVD the right way then the fixes just seem to disappear when scrolling through the timeline.
Is anyone else haveing this problem?
Do you think it's something wrong that an update will fix?
Maybe a new codec?

After Effects Color Correction Eye Dropper

I use the Color Correction Eye dropper for clothing videos and recently it stopped letting me select the dropper. I've tried restarting the program and computer. Would I need to re-install After Effects?

We are going to need a lot more information.
What exact point number version of AE are you using? 12.2.1? 11.0.4?
What effect are you using?
How are you using it?
Screenshots showing things like your comp window, timeline, and effects panel would all be helpful in demonstrating your issue.

After Effects & Premiere - workflow

Hi
I am editing a film in premiere CS 5 - the footage is RED. Motion Graphics and Compositors are using After Effects. Will Premiere be able to open After effects projects (with all effects and layers intact)? So I can do the final edit.
Not very familiar with After Effects - so wondering if tracking, roto, masking, layering etc done in After Effects will be preserved when the After effects Project is opened in Premiere.
Thanks in advance.

CS4 to CS6 After Effects Color Issue with Linked Photoshop Files

Hi, I just recently converted a CS4 project into CS6 and everything work wonderfully except that the photoshop files are different in color. I know this because I took screenshots of the video I was working with and edited them in Photoshop before importing them back in to the project so I know the color should match. This screenshot may help (as you can see I've increased the brightness and contrast in the affected area so that you may see what is happening. There is a Photoshop layer that is covering up a number of scratches on the guiter (it is very beat up) and in the original (CS4) project they hid them perfectly while in the CS6 project they are clearly there.
I am not sure why the Photoshop files are acting differently but they are. I need to re-export, please help if possible. Thank you so much. Jason.

In Bridge, my color settings are shown as synchronized (some kind of universal deal I guess), but the Photoshop files and the After Effects file are not color managed. What is confusing me is how completely "not color managed" files can interpret RGB values for anything different than their face value?
My Workaround (Not a Solution):
In light of how specific this problem is, I've decided to simply match the Photoshop files to the After Effects footage with a gamma adjustment using a levels effect. For this situation settings the levels to .88 corrected the problem. However, exporting the project from Premiere results in a darker movie file than the orginal so I was forced to correct the gamma on the export as well. The new export (after the corrections) looks less appealing to me but as a standalone product is acceptable.

Premiere to After Effects Composition workflow with Subclips?

I have a bunch of footage, each about 1 minute-long, that I'm cutting in Premier into a collection of 3-second highlight shots. What I want to do is take some of those 3 second clips and add a couple of effects in AE.
Problem #1:
When I select the trimmed shot in Premiere and select "Replace with After Effects Composition", all I get is a blank composition that is 1 minute long (not 3 seconds like how I trimmed it in the Premiere sequence editor).
Problem #2:
What I did to resolve the issue above is select the trimmed clip, then created a Subclip of it. Then when I selected "Replace with After Effects Composition" it then created a blank composition in AE that was 3 seconds long.
Ok fine, but that still doesn't resolve the blank AE composition. It will be super tedious to import each of the 1-minute footage files into AE and then re-find the 3 second section I already set in Premiere. Am I missing a step somewhere? How do I get After Effects to import that subclip automatically into the library? I tried to export the subclip from Premiere but couldn't find that option.
Is there a better workflow for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks!

I'm using DSLR footage and am not running into this issue. However, another workaround you could do is, copy the trimmed/subcliped clip and paste it into AE. To get a sequence in AE to conform to the durration of the copied clip, use otp+command+v. I use this in replace of dynamic link, and works quite well. Hope that helps.

After effects to premiere question

Hi,
i have been doing a lot of work on after effects that require multiple compositions. My way of doing this has been opening my video files in after effects doing the work and then dragging that after effects file to premiere, then I am promted by Which compositon I want to choose. Now, I would like to edit my clips first in premiere and then add effects. However when I choose to open after effects through premiere and do all my work, i don't know how to tell premiere which comp I want shown of the premiere time line. This is why I have been doing my after effects work first.
ANyone one know how to choose which comp that will show when opening after effects through a premiere timeline?
thanks!

First, we need to know the EXACT version of Ae & PrPro, as the workflow betwixt & between them has shifted over versions.
Second ... the more typical was (within the last few releases of PrPro/Ae) is to work within PrPro, then for Ae work, select a clip on the timeline, right-click, "Replace with AE Compostion" ... which opens up AfterEffects with that clip loaded ... do your work, then simply click "Save" ... and the modified version will immediately appear on your PrPro timeline.
There are quite a few video tutorials on the AdobeTV site alone that deal with this exactly ... well worth your time.

After Effects color keying

Hi,
I have a problem which I can't seem to find a solution for, and I'm not convinced that there is one either.
Basically I have a dancer shot in front of a green screen. The dancer is wearing clothes that are bright, different contrasting colors. The reason for this is that I want to select the clothing and change the colors of the various parts.
In the green screen shoot we flattened the lighting to minimise shadowing to make it easier to pick out the color. What that has done is effectively washed out the vibrancy a little bit.
In after effects the dancer has black make up around her eyes and mouth and a purple top. In the video the black make up seems to have picked up some purple for reasons I don't know (compression? reflection?) and so I have purple pixels on her face as well as on her top.
Is there a way to separate the purple pixels in the face from those on the clothes? Bearing in mind this will be a 3-4 minute video and not a still image.
I hope someone out there can help me

d.sprowls is pointing you in the right direction. For some more detail, here are two videos that I made that show a couple of different ways to isolate and apply an effect to only a person's face:
Isolating a subject with the Roto Brush tool
Motion tracking and rotoscoping
These should give you some ideas and get you going.

After Effects CS5 render question

Can someone explain this please. I have a movie (30 sec in length). I rendered it into another movie. It took 1:48 to render (short render). I rerendered it again. It only took 1 min (same exact settings). I closed the project and opened a new porject. I did the same thing again except the first render I chaanged it to only render the first 3 seconds. The second render still only took 1 min (and it was the whole thing). It seems like the first render will always be slow but every render after that will be faster. Is that correct?

Not necessarily.
Some factors that might make a render after the first one go faster:
- cached frames
- background processes that took a while to start up the first time are already running
- OS has already shifted memory and CPU resources to After Effects if multiple applications are running

FCP - Color Workflow Question

I have DVCPRO HD sequences in FCP that I have applied Smoothcam filter to in many instances (one 10 minute sequence probably has Smoothcam applied to at least 15 of the clips). With over 4 hours of footage and Smoothcam applied often it would seem very labor intensive to have to create individual Quicktime movies for each of the clips where Smoothcam is applied and then drop those into the FCP timeline before sending to Color (especially as I will likely have to tweak the Color settings multiple times before getting the perfect outcome).
My sense is that I may be able to minimize the workload by:
1) creating one Quicktime movie of say an entire sequence with multiple instances of the Smoothcam fliter applied (instead of creating individual Quicktime movies of each clip where Smoothcam is applied)
2) sending that Quicktime movie to Color for grading
My question under the scenario directly above is how do you then split the Quicktime movie into the individual clips in Color so that each clip can be graded individually?
The only other alternative I can see is to:
1) remove all of the Smoothcam filters (and sharpening filters) in the FCP timeline
2) send sequence to Color for grading
3) roundtrip to FCP
4) apply Smoothcam filter (and sharpening filters) to all of the individual clips again after color grading is totally complete
I am a little daunted by the thought of this with over 4 hours of DVCPRO HD footage. Your suggestions regarding the best and most efficient workflow would be greatly appreciated.

Not quite six of one and half a case of the other, but you are in for some effort either way. Thomas Edison had an observation about "opportunity" arriving dressed in coveralls, but most people take a pass on it because it looks like "too much work".
If you elect the "bake out one big QT file" workflow, there is some efficiency to bringing the new QT onto a copy of the originating timeline and using that as a cutting guide to "razor in" the event boundaries, and then send that to COLOR. It will save a significant amount of re-rendering time.
If you remove the Smoothcam and other filters and send the raw source media to COLOR, that would be a normal workflow. I'd imagine there will be a significant amount of "attribute" copying after the fact, and of course all the smoothcams will have to go through "re-analysis". (I'd send a duplicate sequence, so the original filtered sequence can act as a source.)
The smoothcam filter will probably yield a different rendition on the COLOR-graded media, since the Boolean re-scaling (to keep the image within the active picture area) may not exhibit the same behaviour -- since you will only be dealing with the selected footage, rather than the entire source clip.
Sending the clips with an attached Smoothcam filter would probably result in massive render times, since FCP requires the entire intact source media to compute the stabilizing script, similar to sending a clip with a speed adjustment.

After Effects Color/Saturation rendering bug?

Ok so I have CS4 and I have a client who has given me the raw footage files uncompressed from a 4D camera shoot. The problem Im having is that no matter if I render my work out as a Quicktime uncompressed animation, Tiff, or Targa, when my client imports the work onto his Mac they all come out too bright and washed out.
At first I just thought it was the quicktime render cause I read that there was a bug in quicktime that reads gamma at different levels on a Mac and PC. But even rendered out as a tiff or targa? Could this perhaps be because the bug is even present on the import of the footage? I wouldnt think AE would be processing imported footage in any way except for the way it is but I cant seem to find an answer to this problem. Anyone have any clues or work arounds you have used? Please Help!!! My cleint wants to hire me for a new large commercial but only if I can find a way to make his footage not looked washed out coming out of my workflow.
Btw, im not adding any effects or color correction to the footage at all. All the effects work is done on seperate layers and the BG is locked so untouched.

The obvious: Your client's monitor color settings ar hopelessly mis-tweaked? Or conversely, he is using specific color profiles and calibration and you are not? Whatever it is, it is certainly not a fundamental problem in AE. At best, it may require enabling the "Match legacy Quicktime Gamma" option in the footage interpretation, but that is pretty much all there is. Or to put it simply: If the footage looks okay in any media player on your (uncalibrated) monitor, then it is okay - the Gamma will be the same as Windows bog standard Gamma plus/minus any evil tweaking you have done on your monitor and graphics card and the absence of a calibration. And the differences in Gamma between Mac and PC would not generally be a problem, either, as Quicktime or any image viewer would already compensate by relying on the system's display library. Hence, we return to the point of your client's monitor claibration (or lack thereof) being the culprit here most likely.
