How can After Effects plugins be used in Photoshop?

Hi there,
Some of the After Effects plugins would be nice to have in Photoshop, too.
Is there any way to use the After Effects plugins directly in Photoshop?
Could be a wrapper (free or commercial), or a method?
Thank you
Cheers,
Oli

No, there is no way to use them directly. and even a wrpper might be extremely tricky - the APIs use a completely different internal caching and memory management model. So your best bet is to work natively in AE or bug whatever plug-in vendors to produce a native PS version (which at the risk of shattering anyone's illusions is commercially unattractive or technically unfeasible to do for many of them).

  • If i cant upgrade to Lion how can i effectively use i cloud?

    If i cant upgrade to Lion how can i effectively use i cloud?

    OK paper weight is harsh, but i made the upfront investment to have longevity ....
    Reality:
    - We can't predict what Apple will do, we can only go on past behavior.
    - For the past decade Apple has stopped pretty much all support for anything except the current and previous operating system (OS) version.  Apple has brought out a new OS version roughly every 2 years.  This translates to roughly 4 years of update support.  In some cases Apple may stretch it a bit such as iTunes also still working under OS 10.5 (we're now on 10.7), but iTunes isn't an OS.   I do know with the recent malware incident Apple did not bring out a fix for any OS earlier than 10.6.  Now there's an interesting change ahead. Apple brought out Lion last year and is likely to bring out Mountain lion this year. We're now on a 1 year upgrade cycle. If Apple continues past pattern on only supporting the last two OS versions it means your OS basically only has an effective lifespan of 2 years instead of 4. Longevity?
    - Hardware.  We bought an iphone last December. I asked the person in the store about battery life. He said, "Oh, at least two years but you'll be thinking about getting rid of this one by then and getting a newer one."  Two years.
    I don't remember the exact criteria, but Lion won't run on the earliest Intel Macs (2006) and Mountain Lion likely won't run on some of the middle aged ones.  Snow Leopard (ca. 2009) won't run on any Mac made prior to 2006. Reviewing OS releases for the past 6 years or so it seems to me you get roughly 5 years before new OS releases won't run on your hardware any more.
    So, we have software support dropping out after 4 years or so (maybe now down to 2 years???) and hardware becoming obsolete after 5 years.  Is that longevity?

  • After Effects plugins for FCP 6

    Hi folks, I'm trying to install the plugins for AE 6.5 Pro into my nice new FCP 6 set up. When I fire up FCP, it rejects all the plugins and then shuts down. Any ideas?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Running FCP Studio

    What a useful answer - I had been hoping for something more constructive however.< </div>
    There is a section in the manual describing how After Effects plugins might or might not work.
    Depends on who made them. If they're from Adobe, you are flat out of luck. If they're from third party creators, you have a 50/50 chance they will work. You would visit the publisher's Web site to find out if they are FCP-compatible.

  • Itunes and proxy settings. Itunes keeps the proxy setting from IE and I can't adapt it due to company policy. How can I force itunes to use firefox?

    itunes can not connect to server and I can't find its proxy settings.
    So I think it uses these from IE and those are blocked by company policy.
    So, how can I force itunes to use the firefox settings

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • After Effects Plugins in Motion

    Where do I install AfterEffects Plugins into Motion? I can't find a plugins folder for Motion 2.

    I purchased magic bullet software three weeks ago and i read somewhere on this or creative cow that motion read After effects plugins. I know FCP does not read them as of the studio 1 version.

  • How can I Improve the Performance using Global Temo Tables ??

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me , How can i make use of Global Temporary Tables to improve the Performance.
    I have few sample scripts ,
    Say i have the View based on some Complex query like ,
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Profile_values_view AS
    SELECT d.Profile_option_name, d.Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
    u.User_name, Level_id, Level_code
    FROM Profile_definitions d, Profile_values v, Profile_users u
    WHERE d.Profile_option_id = v.Profile_option_id
    AND ((Level_code = 'USER' AND Level_id = U.User_id) OR
    (Level_code = 'DEPARTMENT' AND Level_id = U.Department_id) OR
    (Level_code = 'SITE'))
    AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM PROFILE_VALUES P
    WHERE P.PROFILE_OPTION_ID = V.PROFILE_OPTION_ID
    AND ((Level_code = 'USER' AND
    level_id = u.User_id) OR
    (Level_code = 'DEPARTMENT' AND
    level_id = u.Department_id) OR
    (Level_code = 'SITE'))
    AND INSTR('USERDEPARTMENTSITE', v.Level_code) >
    INSTR('USERDEPARTMENTSITE', p.Level_code));
    Now i have created the Global temp Table as ,
    CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE Profile_values_temp
    Profile_option_name VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
    Profile_option_id NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
    Profile_option_value VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
    Level_code VARCHAR2(10) ,
    Level_id NUMBER(4) ,
    CONSTRAINT Profile_values_temp_pk
    PRIMARY KEY (Profile_option_id)
    ) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS ORGANIZATION INDEX;
    Now I am Inserting the Records into Temp table as
    INSERT INTO Profile_values_temp
    (Profile_option_name, Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
    Level_code, Level_id)
    SELECT Profile_option_name, Profile_option_id, Profile_option_value,
    Level_code, Level_id
    FROM Profile_values_view;
    COMMIT;
    Now what my doubt is, when do i need to execute the Insert Statement.
    Say , if the View returns few millions of records , then loading such a data into Global Temporary table takes lot of time.
    Then what is the use of Global Temporary tables and how can i improve the Performance using the same.
    Raj

    Thanks for the responce ,
    There are 2 to 3 complex views in our database, and there always be more than 5000+ users will be workinf on the application and is OLTP application. Those complex views are killing the application performance.
    I what i felt was, if i create the Global Temporary tables for thow views and will be able to load the one third million of records returned by the views in to cache and can improve the application performance.
    I have created the Global Temporary tables for 2 views with the option On Commit Preserve , But after am inserting the records into the Temp table and when i Issue the commit statement, the Temp table is getting Cleared.
    I really got surpised of this behaviour as i know that with the Option On Commit Preserve , the rows should retain in the Temp Table, Instead , it's getting cleared.
    Pelase suggest , what to do ??

  • How can I remove an object using Photoshop Elements 7?

    How can I remove an object using Photoshop Elements 7?

    You could probably use the 8 point garbage matte in this situation. I personally think the 8-point garbage matte is a bit cumbersome, but it should get the job done.
    1. Use the Razor Blade tool to place a cut before and after the shot with the bottle.
    2. Select the bottle clip.
    3. Press and hold Shift + Option, then drag the bottle clip up one track. This should create a duplicate clip directly above your original clip. (I'll refer to this duplicated clip as bottle2.)
    4. Locate the 8-point Garbage Matte filter and apply it to bottle2.
    5. Locate the Gaussian Blur filter and apply it to bottle2.
    6. Control click bottle1, and uncheck the "Clip Enable" setting from the shortcut menu. This will disable that clip.
    7. Double click bottle2 to load it into the Viewer. Then select the Filter tab.
    8. For the Garbage Matte filter, you'll notice 8 rows of numbers, these are the current locations for the control points, which you should be able to see in the Canvas. Start with point #1, and click the "+" button in the filters area, then in the Canvas click and drag to move the point. When you release the mouse button, you'll need to reclick the "+" button in the filters tab. Repeat these steps until you've isolated the bottle.
    9. Feather the edge of the matte.
    10. Adjust the Blur amount.
    11. Reenable bottle1. Playback the clip and make any necessary adjustments.
    Depending on your experience with Motion, you might also want to try sending bottle1 to Motion, then use Motion to control the layering.

  • How can I open websites that use adobe flash ?

    How can I open websites that use adobe flash ?

    The website should open, but the Adobe Flash will not work as there's no Flash plug-in for mobile Safari.
    After some failed attempts by Adobe to work out Flash for iPad, Apple decided to forgo it, and Steve Jobs published a famous letter on the reasons why Apple would not be supporting Flash on iPad.
    The fall, Adobe announced that they were abandoning Flash on all mobile platforms, including Android, and they have deprecated the use of Flash as a plug-in on Desktop platforms. Flash will be moving to become a platform for development of cross-platform desktop applications and HTML5 will replace it for web and mobile purposes.
    Web sites that still use Flash will slowly move away from the technology in the next few months. Most web sites that expected traffic from mobile device users have already moved away from using Flash.

    Is the 3rd party plug-in 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' which comes with Adobe After Effects, free to use? 'Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse' installs its documentation in the plug-in’s subfolder in the Plug-ins folder.
    I cannot locate anywhere on the Adobe site which specifies that this plug-in is free to use for educational institutions.
    Can anyone assist please?

  • FAQ: How can I invite others to use GroupPix?

    FAQ: How can I invite others to use GroupPix?
    Answer:
    GroupPix has two methods for adding others: 'Email invite' and 'Scan Pass'
    Email
    Email invitations work great before the event, because they allow others to install the app and join the Group Album ahead of time. There are two ways to invite someone via email. First, you need to go into the Group Album you created by tapping its icon from the main screen ('Grouppix party' is the example shown below):
    Then do one of the following:
    1. Tap the 'Add Friends' button in the lower right corner, then tap 'Invite with Email'
    2. Alternatively, you can tap the settings icon in the upper-right hand side to bring up the settings for the album, then tap 'Email Invite':
    Enter the email address of the person that you want to invite, then tap the blue invite button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
    If your friend does not have GroupPix already installed, the email contains a link to install the app from the App Store
    If you friend does have GroupPix already installed, the email has a link to launch the app, or your friend can just launch GroupPix without the email, and accept the invitation directly in the program.
    Scan Pass
    You can use the Scan Pass feature to add someone to an event on the spot. You (as the Group Album host) and the person you invite, each follows these directions, respectively:
    (You) Go into your Group Album, and tap the settings icon in the upper-right hand side to bring up the settings for the album, then tap 'Scan Pass' to switch GroupPix into Scan Mode:
    (Them) After installing the app from the App Store, launch the app, then tap 'Join' to show their GroupPix Pass:
    (You) Scan the other person's pass, carefully focusing on the square black and white code on the pass (circled in red above); once scanned, the other person will automatically be added to the Group Album, and photo taking can begin!

    If you are using icloud, make sure calendar is turned on.   Then you can invite others when you schedule an appointment.
