General but very urgent question about After Effects...

I registered for an online course with my college called "Motion Graphics."
The class description states that the course teaches Adobe Flash and Adobe After Effects,
and requires the "Classroom in a Book" textbooks for both applications.
Part of the class description says, "Students will learn how to manipulate text, produce simple animations,
incorporate audio and video, and learn the necessities of Action Scripting."
I don't know much about After Effects; I signed up for the class to learn Flash because I am interested in using it
to create games, mobile apps, and embedded web content. I have no interest in making flash movies.
After the course opened up today online, it says only the After Effects textbook is needed,
and that the Flash textbook is not required because Flash has been "phased out" of the course.
I have been intending to take the ActionScript course after this completing this Motion Graphics course.
This Motion Graphics course is actually a prerequisite for the ActionScript course.
Does that even make sense considering Flash has been "phased out" of the course?
As I said, my intention was to learn Flash and move on to learning ActionScript for the purpose of
creating games, mobile apps, and embedded web content. Should I even be bothering with this class?

I contacted the course instructor about the situation, to which she replied:
"So sorry, summer was the last time flash would be taught. Advanced Flash, after this semester, will not longer exist either.
It will be renamed "Advanced Motion Graphics" however, the number for the DIG class will remain the same.
It will only cover After Effects, as flash can no longer work with creating many "apps" and other applications do not except flash.
If you want to take a flash course, maybe the college offers a weekend course, maybe?
Classroom in a book is a great book to learn on, so if you want, you could keep the textbook and learn it on your own.
Again, sorry for your disappointment, but this class will only cover after effects."
What does she mean by "It will only cover After Effects, as flash can no longer work with creating many "apps" and other applications do not except flash."?
Why would she say this?

  • A few questions about After Effects and CGI (Computer-generated Imagery)

    Hi,
    I'm very new to After Effects and this forum. But I have a few questions.
    Now, I have recently started a movie project with my friend at a workshop. It's an action/sci-fi film and I'm probably going to be the editor and if needed in charge of visual and/or special effects. This sounds like a pretty big job for a noob, but we don't have a time limit with the project so there's time to learn.
    But to my questions. I've thought of introducing CGI to myself (very simple of course). I've studied the use of blender, and I think I'll use it for the modelling and animation. But should Ae be used in any stage of producing the CGI or should everything be done in blender? If I do, how? Am I going in the wrong direction (wrong kind of software, etc.)?
    Also, I'm not talking of fully producing the scene with the computer, but adding things like characters or items, maybe special effects.
    I'm hoping for an answer to all my questions, but if you have just one or two answers I'm happy to hear them too. You're also welcome to correct me if I've misunderstood something. Please ask for further specifications if you need any!

    1. Welcome to the family. AE is big, Really big. It's hard. Really hard. You have no idea how hard AE is to learr and to master.
    2. No time limit is good but you will need some money.
    3. This is not a Blender forum. You want to explore filmmaking, CGI and Blender-specific forums for that kind of assistance.
    4. AE is for your compositing and special effects. But you will need to learn how both apps work before you can decide how to divide up your project. A comparison would be shooting your film. Are you using a DSLR? Do you know why? Or are you using a GoPro? Another example might be Apple's Final Cut Pro. You can edit audio in it but it's better to use an audio application. You can do some special effects in FCP but it's best to do complex stuff in Motion of After Effects. How do you know what app is appropriate Lots of experience. Lots of failures.
    5. We were all new to AE and to vidoe editing and to special effects at one time or another. The user forums are not places to learn how to use these applications. You do that with tutorials and books and tons of time. Learning to use Blender to make a robot move is one thing. Making the robot into a character that compels the audience to care about it is quite another. Using AE to create a layer of clouds is one thing. Having those clouds react to the bow waves created by your flying robot as it approaches sonic speeds is quite another challenge.

  • Question about after effects

    hi im new to after effects and trying to learn a few step,iv been using youtube for help but this aspect i want to find out about i dont know what to look up to find my answer.
    my question is when im making an intro for a video
    i have design 1, design 2, then design 3 ,then my name appears .then i want to keep my name on the screen but dissapear the design 1.2 and 3  behind the name then start a dif design behing the name . how to i get from my name along with the 3 designs to my name with no designs and then be able add more designs ?
    sorry but above is the best way i feel i can describe it :/ .
    is it to do with a new layer or solid  that i put after my name to seperate the two ?
    if someone can find a video on youtube they feel can show me rather than tell me it would be appreciated!.

  • Questions about After Effects CC (12.0.1)

    Having now licensed AE, I got some errors reported due to ray shading. Reboot stopped that. Then I get random errors during app startup at the cleaning up ray tracing step. And, still no improvement on warp stab performance. I need some guidance here. Thanks...

    I am having the problem in AE, I tested PP to see if the problem existed there and it did not. In the PP case, it appears that PP executes the warp stab itself rather than farming it out to the Analysis Server in a separate process.
    Problem may very well be with Mavericks but the net result is that an interaction between Adobe software and Mavericks is causing a problem that your customers will fault Adobe for.
    However, more information for you. It appears only to be a problem with a sequence that I drag and drop from PP to AE (dynamic linking). If I import the PP project into AE using File->Impot->Adobe Premiere Pro Project, warp stab runs with Adobe Analysis Server at 100% CPU and completes in a reasonable amount of time (20 minutes). Using dynamic linking I started warp stab last night after my last post and four hours later it was 50% complete and AAS was running around 10% CPU.
    I was hoping for a workaround, but it now seems that I am informing Adobe of a potential problem that a bug report needs to be filed on.
    Thanks for pursuing this with me. I am posting my prefs you requested next.

  • A very urgent questions about AE CS6's GPU!

    For God's sake, ask you to help me!
    I have a Radeon (TM) HD 7670M graphics card,
    Preferences - previews - GPU Information
    Ray-tracing only cpu,
    and GPU not available - incompatible device or display driver,
    But OpenGL is right, why?
    See a lot of information just say AE CS6 Support NVIDIA graphics card,
    Is the AMD graphics do not really have any way?
    Or what time will increase support for AMD graphics?
    We really need for urgent AMD graphics support
    Look forward to your reply and help,
    May God bless you!

    The rayrtracing stuff will never get any AMD compatibility. It's already deprecated in AE CC and nobody cares about it anymore. Any such enhancements will have to come from within Cineware, but currently Cinema 4D doesn't use any GPU features for rendering.

  • Questions about After Effects CC (12)

    Went ahead and subscribed for the full monty. First startups produced a shader error about ray tracing. Reboot of the MacBook and that went away. However, I am still not getting multi cpu capability in warp stab. I have gone into preferences to enable multi cpu and 8 cpus are reported which is what I expect to see for my 15" MacBook Pro Retina. What do you suggest?

    You cannot.  If someone else told you there is a way then they will need to show you.  After Effects requires a 64-bit system and the latest release requires Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9 minimum

  • Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.

    Here's a very basic question about 2 TB external drives and Time Machine.
    Ihave a Mac Pro with a .75 TB and 1 TB drive.  It also has a 1 TB 2ndinternal drive.  My current external drive is too small so I'll begetting a 1.5 TB or 2 TB drive.
    Obviouslythe new larger 2 TB drive will backup everything on the Mac Prointernal drive with Time Machine.  But there will be 1 TB of space leftover going to waste.
    ShouldI partition the external drive so that the TM portion will be 1 TB andthe use the remaining extra partition for additional file backups withCarbon Copy?
    Thanks for any insights.
    I tried searching around on the new Apple discussion forum, but I find it much harder to use than the old forum I used to use.

    The problem with terabyte drives is that that a 3 TB is about as big as you can get without going into RAID territory. Ideally, a Time Machine drive should be 3 times as large as all the drives you are backing up. So, if you have 2.75 TB of internal storage, you should have 8 TB of Time Machine space.
    Of course, that is "should". If your TB drives are mostly empty, then you can get away with something 3 times the size of your used disk space. Just remember that you are pushing it. Linc is right about Time Machine needing space to work.
    It is unlikely that you have regular churn on 2.75 TB of disk. I suggest identifying which drives and folders have the most activity and excluding those drives and directories that don't change much. It would be better to archive the data that doesn't change often and keep it out of Time Machine. Then you may be able to get away with a 2 TB Time Machine drive.

  • One very basic question about inheritance

    One very basic question about inheritance.
    Why we need inheritance?
    the benefit of inheritance also achieve by creating instance of base class using it in other class instead of extending the base class.
    Can any one please explain why we are using inheritance instead of creating object of base class????

    One example of inheritance comes in the form of a vehicle. Each vehicle has similarities however they differ in their own retrospect. A car is not a bus, a bus is not a truck, and a truck is not a motorbike. If you can define the similarities between these vehicles then you have a class in which you can extend into either of the previous mentioned vehicles. Resulting in a reusable class, dramatically reduces the size of code, creates a single point of definition, increases maintainability, you name it.
    In short there are thousands of benefits from using inheritance, listing the benefits could take a while. A quick Google search should give you a few hundred k if not million links to read.

  • Really my question is about after effects, which then renders to a quick time movie.  I have imported music into after effects many times, and all of a sudden after import and playing it under ram preview, it stops about 4/5 through the work.

    when I import a song into after effects it only plays 4/5 and then stops.  I'm viewing it in RAM preview.
    the composition time is fine.
    can you help me???

  • Best tutorial about After Effects?

    Hi people!
    Look..i'm newbie. And i need to  learn how to work with Adobe After Effects ASAP for business purposes. I really need to learn it fast (well...at leats the fastest that it can be learn. I think that my IQ get me able to do that lol)
    So... do you guys know about a good e-book, or a tutorial series that can teach you the A to Z (especially KINECT/ DYNAMIC TYPOGRAPHY)?
    Or a web site that have all the information that i need (for free,of course ; ) )
    Thank you vary much,fellas!

    We see this exact same post about once a month around here. So there exists a reliably and thoroughly documented precedent for Dave's responses. You can searcdh the forum for "kinetic typography" and you will find those conversations. Some of them may have good links for you to follw but you caould also try to contact the authors to see how they ended up dealing with their sudden and hurried and mission critical and crucial needs to become experts in an artform using materials and crafts systems they've never seen before.

  • Question about some effect

    Hi,
    I was trying to find out  how it's made the effect from the website below, I mean the one from the packages in the middle of the website (Domain names, Email hosting ect), on mouse over the image is brighter, is it just a 'image swap' effect but how they put the text then? The second question is about the fade in and out of the text on the bottom of the website (Where is: Why choose Fasthosts) is it possible to do it in Dreamweaver or is this flash animation?
    Website: http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/
    Regards

    Ok, Gary gave the right answer about the middle section. Case closed.
    About the effect you're talking about at the bottom (I suppose it's the "Why choose Fasthost?" section), it's in JavaScript.
    To answer the question "is it possible to do it in Dreamweaver", you can do it by using Spry effect: Select the element you want to animate and in the Behaviors panel, select Effect and then the Appear/Fade (or Blind, which is similar). Enter the settings, and you have a Fade In effect (you may need to change the event, for example to use onLoad instead of onClick).
    You can go further (for example, to have many sentences like the other website does) by looking at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/htmlpanel/html_panel_two.html
    If you don't want to use Spry, other JavaScript libraries (like jQuery) surely supports that.
    Also, you can look at their code...:
