  • Best tutorial for after effect in net

    hi
    i read a thread in FAQ about how to learn after effect but i want your experience.in the internet there are many tutorials for after effect but can someone tell me where can i download or buy the best and complete after effect tutorial from begining to really professional?

    Once you have a handle on the basics it is important to focus on one area at a time. Compositing, motion graphics, Visual Effects all require completely different skill sets. When you figure out what you want to concentrate on then we can give you a better idea of how to start. If you want a complete course in AE I'd suggest Total Training or Lynda.com Both offer excellent tutorials that take off right after Adobe TV leaves off.

  • Can't find the link to amazing BEGINNERS tutorial for After Effects 5.5

    Someone here gave me a link to a set of tutorials on After Effects 5.5, specifically the Warp Stabilizer. Now I cannot locate it. My bad.
    I've watched about three hours of videos today and none are useful because everything in the videos is always opened up in AE and completely ready.
    When I open a clip, I have none of the options available to me, so I need to know how people in those tutorials are getting things set up.
    This is what I see.

    I need to be able to get the point where I can actually use Warp Stabilizer.
    Thanks

    Basic drill:
    - select the MOV file in the project
    - drag it onto the third icon from the left of the same panel
    - *wham* Magic, a comp appears!
    - right-click in comp window and choose "Stabilize Motion" from menu
    - awesome Warp Stabilizer kicks in
    - choose text tool
    - type text on top of background layer
    - choose "Composition --> Make Movie"
    - hit "Render" button
    Anything more would really require you to read the help...

  • I can't find the green screen key in the Effects menu in Adobe Premiere Elements 12

    Is there anybody who can help me were I can find the green screen key in premiere element 12. According tutorial video's on You Tube there must be a green screen key in the effects menu under keying, but with me it doesn't seem to be there.

    jajajoja
    Thanks for the reply. Glad you asked. Please check out my blog post on the use of the Difference Matte, especially for the Premiere Elements Mac users who run into this Windows Only situation.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Difference Matte As Substitute for Green or Blue Screen Key
    We are not Adobe. Rather user to user. So, I am not sure why these keying features are not included in Premiere Elements Mac.
    Please review and consider the above, and, if any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Best wishes.

  • PLEASE HELP!! Weird screen glitch in After Effects CS5.5?!? (Windows 7)

         I was editing some videos in the trial of After Effects CS5.5, and I went to render something in full screen (I've been using it for two weeks now, and i've rendered in full screen before) and suddenly a bunch of error messages started popping up,and After Effects closed out. Now every time I open After Effects, its like the screen zooms in: I can't see my taskbar or my tools for after effects, or anything on the edges at all. Production Premiere and everything else works fine, but After Effects is always like this now. I've searched all the help centers, and google, and youtube, and I've found nothing. I also tried unistalling and reinstalling the Master Collection trial but it still came up in full screen.
    PLEASE HELP I only have 12 days left on trial and I'm trying to finish one last video.

    Try deleting your preferences. If that doesn't do it, Reboot, Use the Adobe Cleaner Tool, then re-install AE. If that doesn't work let us know. It's probably your preferences.

  • Problems with Tutorials for After Effects CS5

    I just recently downloaded After Effects CS5. I got the whole creative suite from being an IU student. I was watching the video tutorials for After Effects and when discussing importing files they talk about exercise files. I've looked all over and I can't find these files. Does anyone know how I can get them or where they're located? I'm running windows 7.

    Mylenium may be right about which assets the tutorials were referring to, but I have no idea what tutorials you're talking about. We can't know what exercise files you're referring to if you don't telling us what tutorials you're talking about. There are many thousands of tutorials about After Effects, on dozens or hundreds of websites.
    The best people to ask about the location of exercise files are the people who made the specific tutorials.
    Keep in mind that a lot of tutorial makers (like Lynda.com) put some of heir tutorials online for free, and they sell subscriptions to the rest. Part of the subscription benefit is that you get access to the exercise files.

  • 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 ; ) )

    Thanks!
    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. It's tough.
    You can help similar seekers tremendously by returning after your project is successfully behind you and letting us know what resources served you well. Post those links to the online tutorials and other research your performed.
    There is a great book/DVD on the market from Angie Taylor and our own Todd Kopriva. It's targeted precisely at people like you who need to or want to get up to speed quickly. Here are some other useful links from Ms Taylor. Don't let that ring in her nose scare ya.

  • Media Encoder CC not using GPU acceleration for After Effects CC raytrace comp

    I created a simple scene in After Effects that's using the raytracer engine... I also have GPU enabled in the raytracer settings for After Effects.
    When I render the scene in After Effects using the built-in Render Queue, it only takes 10 minutes to render the scene.
    But when I export the scene to Adobe Media Encoder, it indicates it will take 13 hours to render the same scene.
    So clearly After Effects is using GPU accelleration but for some reason Media Encoder is not.
    I should also point out that my GeForce GTX 660 Ti card isn't officially supported and I had to manually add it into the list of supported cards in:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\raytracer_supported_cards.txt
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC\cuda_supported_cards.txt
    While it's not officially supported, it's weird that After Effects has no problem with it yet Adobe Media Encoder does...
    I also updated After Effects to 12.1 and AME to 7.1 as well as set AME settings to use CUDA but it didn't make a difference.
    Any ideas?

    That is normal behavior.
    The "headless" version of After Effects that is called to render frames for Adobe Media Encoder (or for Premiere Pro) using Dynamic Link does not use the GPU for acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
    If you are rendering heavy compositions that require GPU processing and/or the Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, then the recommended workflow is to render and export a losslessly encoded master file from After Effects and have Adobe Media Encoder pick that up from a watch folder to encode into your various delivery formats.

  • Cycore FX plug-ins for After Effects 7

    I'm having some issues finding the Cycore FX plug-ins for After Effects 7 (I know, it's old   )
    Using Windows 7 x64. The original discs were installed on an older OS, and have since been lost. AE 7 has been downloaded from the Adobe web site, but there are no additional resources/folders with the plug-ins to be found...any ideas???
    [email protected]

    It's strange that Adobe don't have the Cycore plug-ins available at the point of download. (It would make things so civilized.)
    Thanks for the tip :-), I wonder if placing the plug-ins for CS3 in the appropriate folder for AE 7 might work??? Where did you find them???

  • How can I choose powerful system for After Effect?

    Hi
    Would you please help me? I want to buy new system for working with After Effect CS3, I dont want to buy turnkey station, I want to build it myself.
    Is there any good web site that recommends system for After Effect in different prices?( for example what Motherboard, CPU, RAM)
    And what Graphic card should I use to see output in TV.
    I appreciate any help in advance.
    Regards

    The Mac Pro's are pretty killer for AE. On a Winbox, you simply get the
    best processor(s) you can afford, max out the memory, get a good board
    like ASUS or a Tyan if your really into finnicky thoroughbreds. The Vid
    card will have little to do with AE, so research that on its own merits.

  • Writing plug-in for After Effects

    I wish to write a character generator kind of a plug-in for After Effects.
    We have written similar plug-in for premiere which used to be created using the Import option in Adobe Premiere Pro.We managed to import our format and that was put on timeline, and then supplied content using our engine, when imImportImage callback was called.
    In PremeirPro there was only one entry point.
    What I got from reading the After effects SDK help was that there shall one entry point if we wish to write an effect.But we dont wish to write an effect but an importer.
    Will it be a AEGP plug-in?
    How should we go about it? Can we have a sample plug-in of such type, wherein a custom file format is implemented?
    regards
    Jasleen Kaur

    there are two sample projects in the sdk that would be of interest to you.
    1. IO (deals with importing and exporting of custom file types)
    2. FBIO (the same as the above, but deals with frame sequences and not with movies)
    there is one thing you should consider when doing this as an import plug-in:
    as opposed to premier, that seeks the original file every time to display it, AE caches frames.
    so even if you change the source, AE will not necessarily show that, until the "footage" is re loaded or AE starts recycling ram.
    you can change the preferences of AE so that it doesn't cache anything, but then you seriously impair AE's performance.

  • How to Optimize a New iMac for After Effects

    I bought the most tricked out brand new iMac available, with 32GB ram, an updated graphics card, everything.
    But, exporting my project from After Effects takes the same amount of time on my new iMac as it did on my 2011 macbook - about 6 hours.
    I know how to manipulate my export settings, so maybe I just need to change my computer's system settings to work better with After Effects.
    Mac had no advice and pointed me to Adobe, so here I am.
    Any advice?
