Animate layers quickly and easily by using animation presets. Drag and drop animation presets onto layers in the Timeline panel and combine them for a unique result.

Hi. So I'm following along, and it's been very helpful for a newbie! Your methods are thorough and I'm learning quickly. For some reason though, when I add the "rotate over time" preset, it says the transform effect is missing. Additionally, when I open the project, it says the "glow" effect is missing also. Any ideas?

  • Can't apply Animation Presets in After Effects CC(2014)

    I'm no longer able to apply any animation presets to my type. When I try, this dialogue box appears:
    Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

    Yes, you can apply animation presets. You just can't do it through Bridge. See this thread:

  • Missing Animation Presets in After Effects 2014 CC

    I upgraded from CS6 CC to 2014 CC and cannot now find the Animation Presets anywhere on my system. I deleted CS6 CC because of space considerations. They were in it. Can't find them anywhere on my system. Standard install. WIndows 7 Pro, 6 GB i7 blah blah blah! Was told by Tech Support that I couldn't BROWSE them because I don't have Bridge CC. I do have CS5.5 Premium Bridge, but can't reach it from 2014 CC. Even using it outside of 2014 CC I can't find Animation Presets. I can't find the folder they're supposed to be in, find everything else. 
    Help!

    Hello Rick Gerard,
    Thank you for the prompt and apparently correct answer. However, this did not solve my problem. Perhaps I was not totally clear in my original post.  To that end, before I posted I went to the panel for Effects and Presets inside AE 2014 CC. That was what lead me to start trying to Browse Animation Presents and finding out that Adobe Bridge 2014 CC was not installed, etc. Okay, I can live without that.
    The Animation Presets DO NOT SHOW UP in the Effects and Presets panel as you have displayed in the graphic. In fact, searching for Animation in that panel's search box produces no result. Looking at a list of Animation Presets from Adobe's site and searching for several of them produces nothing. The Animation Presets cannot be found. They are not in any folder inside  or outside the install. Even searching my entire system for *.ffx (I believe that is correct) turns up nothing.
    Something may have gone awry when I deleted (actually uninstalled) CS6 using Windows' own uninstall function. I only did that because my then hard drive was crammed to the max and functionality had degraded. I replaced that drive and now I'm a happy camper again except for not finding the Animation Presets.
    IF I deleted/uninstalled them inadvertently, what are my options for getting them back? Deactivate and reinstall 2014 CC? What about reinstall/reactivate(?) CS6? Thanks once again and also in advance.

  • Problems exporting Animation codec from After Effects CS3 to FCP

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can help: I am having troubles with video transfer from After effects CS3 to FCP 6
    my workflow is to edit and export in FCP as quicktime movie - work on the clip in AE and then export as Animation/best quality/Millions of colors+. The footage is SD Pal 1024 x 576.
    the problem is that the files don't seem to play back properly in quicktime - very jagged and lots of ghosting. I assume this is due to the memory heavy features of the codec.
    However any file over 10 seconds will not be imported into FCP natively and a message reads final cut pro does not support this file type.
    I overcame this by opening the clip in quicktime and then exporting again with exactly the same settings - this then reads in FCP - although this seems over the top
    I now want to work with a 10 min finished comp in FCP but when I try to do this it picks up the ghosting that had appeared when playback in quicktime. However when rendered/ exported from the FCP timeline it retains the ghosting
    in short I can burn a successful DVD of the footage as is from AE but it is not suitable to FCP.
    I have tried exporting the clip in quicktime as quicktime DV pal but this retains the ghosting. Is this a hard ware problem or is my work flow wrong?
    thanks
    Paul

    Converting from A to B means either a lossy conversion or a significant increase in storage requirements (up to 5x with DV as the starting point). You are best served with keeping conversions to a minimum.
    > cause this compressor doesn't like images
    What is that based on?
    > in several forums I have red that "automatik" inside of encore does often not work properly
    This is in contradiction with the general feelings on this forum.

  • To learn After Effects

    Hi,
    II have to learn after effects.
    I wanted to know if I should first learn premiere or after effects should I do now.
    Thanks

    Here is a good place to start to learn After Effects:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html
    You also mention Premiere Pro. Depending on what kind of work you are doing, it may be better to learn one first and then the other. So, what kind of work are you doing?
    Here are some resources for getting started with Premiere Pro.
    I'm a little bit biased, but I think that After Effects is more fun, so I'd start with After Effects. Don't tell the Premiere Pro team that I said that. ;-)

  • Dynamic Link with Encore, Photoshop, and After Effects

    Intention 1: Im using Photoshop CS5 (PS5) & After Effects CS5 (AE5) to create a DVD menu for Encore CS5 (EN5). I used the 'Film & Video' preset in PS5 to make a standard HD 1440 x 1080px image size; which looks the same in AE5. My problem is in PS5 the 'Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction'  size is the size i want the universal size to be. Its a more stretched version which looks better to me, but may not work well with HD monitors (as this DVD will be played on a 17" laptop).
    Question 1: Is there any way to have AE5 recognize the 'pixel aspect ratio correction' from PS5 and make the composition settings that size in AE5?
    ```
    Question 2: What are standard sizes for computer monitors that would work welll mostly with the Dynamic Link in AE5 and EN5 working with PS5?

    Yes, it can be very confusing. With CS5, however, as long as you keep it all the same, it doesn't require setting. But you do need to understand it.
    Just start with the help page:

  • Learn After Effects and Photoshop for FCP7

    I would like to learn After Effects and Photoshop without attending an expensive Film course.  By learning online for instance.  I work on FCP 7 and have a documentary project which will involve lots of old stills.  Can anybody recommend a website?  It looks like everybody is requiring those skills nowadays.
    Thank you very much for any tip.

    Ruth
    I am going to leap to the conclusion that you already own  these outstanding products. Adobe helped build Apple in the early days.
    In ANY Adobe product, look in the [MENU] > [Help] pulldown menu.
    You will see many "How Tos" as well as [Photoshope help...]
    All of these lead to Browser-based Help files (located on your computer by the install(s) so you need not be on-line)
    Adobe's help system is the best I have ever seen for any software product.
    It seems that you could familiarize yourself with each product (let's use PShop as an example) by choosing [Photoshop help...] and then choose Learning Photoshop link in the TOC on the left. It's as easy as clicking next and back to navigate and you can follow the illustrated lessons by switching to PShop then back again.
    After getting to know the GUI, all you need do is say to yourself "I wanna do this to that" and translate that to PSHop terms (that may be the most daunting part). People who use PShop all-day every-day don't know everything that it will do until they ask themselves the right question.
    Years ago, as a new computer user (as we all were back then), I taught myself every piece of Pro Software I needed just in this fashion - some VERY much more complicated than PShop, etc.
    You CAN DO IT ! Be sure to give us a link to your finished project.

  • I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

    Hello,
    As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
    I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
    If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
    I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
    Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
    I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
    I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
    Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
    I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
    It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
    Thank you for any help.

  • How to work with Premiere Pro cs5.5 and After Effects cs5 together?

    I have edited my movie in premiere pro cs5.5 and made the rough cut. In premiere, i have edited the video, put in soundtrack and foley. Now, i need to add muzzle flashes & blood splatters in some scenes and final color correction using After Effects cs5.
    When i import the premiere project in AE and make the changes, and then i export it back as premiere project. When i open this prmiere project, it shows vaious kind of errors and no changes are retained that i did in AE. Also, when i import the premiere project (which has 4 different sequences) in AE, all the media that has been imported in the premiere project also opens in AE making it difficult to organize the media.
    How should i work now so that i add vfx and color correction using AE cs5?
    I thought of exporting the video from Premiere pro and then open the video in AE and add vfx to some scenes and color correction to the full video and render it out again. But, this is the first time i am using AE and i am not sure if this is the best way. PLEASE HELP.
    Or, i could import the whole project in AE, add vfx, do color correction AND then export to video from AE. But i think, it will be better if i export the video from Premiere as it has loads of options to choose from while exporting to a movie.
    The dynamic link does not work between Premiere Pro Cs5.5 and After Effects cs5. Even if it does, its not working on my pc.
    All the footage is in HD and i want the final result in best quality HD too. PLEASE Help!

    If you are working between After Effects and Premiere Pro but with versions that are not the same number, you need to just work with movies rendered and exported as intermediate, lossless files.
    Dynamic Link only works between After Effects and Premiere Pro of the same version number, and only when they are installed as part of the same suite.

  • Can Adobe After effects cs5 work with Premiere Pro CC

    I have a project I created in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and updated to Maverick which cause Premiere Pro to crash constantly. I downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro CC and was able to reopen the file however all media edited in After Effects cs5 shows media offline even though I am able to open up After effects and access the media fine. Is there a way I can bridge them together. It seems the after effects media is still connected to Premiere pro cs5.

    Dynamic Link usually only works with the same version (the same suite) of the software. You can render your AE assets into a production codec and replace the dynamically linked compositions with the rendered files.
    Alternatively, install AE CC (and manually install the required 12.0.1 update to run on Mavericks) and resave the files in your CC version. (This will only work if you have a CC subscription, the update won't work on a trial version. When the 12.1.0 update is released, you will be able to run that trial on Mavericks.)
