How do I create an after effects file with an interchangeable image

Hey,
hope someone can help me, I'm using after effects to create a mp4 file, it contains a photo which has a animation super imposed ontop of it.
When the projects finished the base photo that the animation is created around could change up three times a day.
What I'm trying to work out is a way for a non technical user to just be able to upload the new photo to somewhere and for the animation to be created and returned somehow to him so that the animator doesn't have to re open and edit the affect effect project each time a new photo comes in.
Is there a way to do this built into after effects does any one know?
Thanks for any help

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

How do I add an after effects files to a website

Hey guy's,
I'm working on a website, and I've created a really cool after effects file to put on my website.
But how do I host it on my site, please?
Do I have to make it a different format of file, then upload it like all my other files. Also how can I reduce the amount of memory it uses, so it doesn't effect my webpage.
Thank you, in advance!
If you want to have a look at the site it's here - http://www.prime-ticket.com
Note: The site's still under mass construction.

After Effects creates Videos therefore you need to render a video and post the video on some kind of streaming server like Vimeo or YouTube. There are presets in the Adobe media encoder for both of these hosting services that work great.
If you do not know anything about rendering video then please search rendering in the aftereffects search help field at the top right corner of the app.

How can i create and access resource file(with .res ext) in j2me

hi,
i am developing an mobile international application using jsr-238 an optional api to implement the idea of internationalizationand localization.
please tell me how can i create .res files in my application to store strings of different languages.thanks inadvance.

Hello GG RA,
which fileformat do you want to use (binary or ASCII)?
There are some LabVIEW shipping examples for File I/O
You could use the LabVIEW NI Example Finder (Help --> Find Examples..(search item "file")) to get an overview about the different file-formats in LabVIEW.
Hope this helped out and feel free to reply if you have more questions about File I/O in LabVIEW
Best regards
Benjamin

How do I create a single PDF file with multiple pages?

Hi, I occasionally need merge several jpg images into a single pdf file with multiple pages (one Jpg per page). I have tried doing this on Preview, and by selecting all the pages I want to include in my document and trying to save to Pdf through the "Print" function, but every time it only saves the first page.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to save multple-page pdf files without having to purchase a specific program (i to this too infrequently to justify the cost)?
Thanks very much,

This works for me...
Open first image in Preview View > Sidebar. Drag the other images into Sidebar, then select all.
From File menu > print selected images. Choose PDF > Save as PDF

How do your create an xml glossary file?

Everyone talks about importing the glossary from an xml file , even from one created from Excel. I have browsed until my fingers bleed and watched the tutorials and seached the Captivate files to try and find a glossary root file to work with.
Please excuse my Newb question but how to I create an xml file, specially using Excel (the easiest way for me to set up a Glossary)? Is there an example I can work off? How do I paste the import xml tags as offered in the widgit to such a file.
This glosary file will be imported and used in to approximately 40 modules so obviously I want just one file to work with.
Again sorry for the newb question.

Hi Jeremia,
From one newb to another ;o)
I ditched the whole thing as soon as I figured it out because putting the glossary in to the captivate slides was really clunky and not a neat solution. Instead we are using our custom written background database and having a glossary link in the main navigation menu, a luxury many captivate scorm projects would not have.
However the spreadsheet is a way of writing all the tags needed for the xml code (fill down). Just highlight ALL the cells with all the tags as per the screen shot, copy and then paste in the open dreamweaver page. However, make sure the dreamweaver page is an xml page. You can then use the xml dreamwever page as the import in to captivate.
Because you are copying from a spreadsheet the paste action in dreamweaver will insert tabs between the data of the cell. You get rid of this by doing a search and replace...search for the tab and replace with nothing, effectively deleting the unwanted tabs.
It is highly inelegant but it works.
Hope this helps and does not confuse it further.

This is very helpful - I'm just missing the piece of how I import the excel data into the Dreamweaver code. Am I repeating the same code over and over in Dreamweaver and cutting and pasting from the excel file?
I'm a newb also so any help would be appreciated!

How do I create this particle effect?

I am pretty new to After Effects and I'm getting to grips with all the particle effects and have managed to create some cool looking animations, but I'm trying to create the particle effect as seen in the image link below. Can anyone tell me how this is done, and what plug-in (if any) would be used to create something like this? I can't get anything I do to look like this. Thanks...
http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/5001/particleskf1.jpg

Create the custom particle in Photoshop or a separate comp. Drag the custom particle into your main comp, turn its visibility off, set Particular's particle setting to "Custom Particle", and choose the new layer as the source.
Create a camera for the comp and turn on "Depth of field". Experiment with the settings until you get the desired effect.
Personally, I'd use two Particular layers for that look, one for the larger particles and another for the smaller ones.

Premiere CC cannot render After Effects files

Windows 8 64-bit, graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (3GB), 32GB RAM, i7 Intel processor
Earlier today I was making changes to a 13 minute film. It has a few After Effects animated stills. Everything was fine until I made some tweaks to the animations in After Effects. BIG MISTAKE. Now the files won't render in Premiere, even though they did last week. The changes were minor. I've tried clearing cache for both Premiere and After Effects, uninstalled and reinstalled both programs. No changes. I tried creating a new timeline and importing the sequence over, but now one of the AE files in the timeline says "Media Offline" even though I've made no changes to it. This ONLY happens with Premiere projects containing these AE files. I tried messing around with other projects, and Premiere works fine. I can edit the animations in After Effects just fine, but Premiere won't render them. It freeze or crashes every time. For some reason, it only started messing up once I edited the AE files this morning and I have no idea why since this is not the first wave of changes I've made to them. Premiere and After Effects are updated, as is my graphics card driver.
Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you both, Jim and Greg, for the help so far. I think I managed to fix it on my own. I was working with 4 After Effects animations at very high resolutions (because the footage had to zoom and pan). I was able to render 3 of them into .avi files, but the 4th was too corrupted. After Effects crashed every time, so I re-created the composition from a new still. That worked, and I rendered that clip into an .avi file as well. After I managed to remove the After Effects file from the Premiere Pro sequence, Premiere stopped crashing. I imported the .avi files and was able to edit and render again. I can only assume Premiere was having too much with the original AE files, either because they were too large, corrupted, or both. Still don't know what went wrong when I edited them Monday morning, but thankfully I was able to work around it.

Trying to open an after effects file from a pc on my mac.

Hi I am trying to open an after effects file from a pc on my mac. This is the error i get.
'the file you are attempting to open was created with after effects version 13.2 (windows 64)'
I am running mavericks 10.9.5, and I have updated my after effects in the creative cloud manager.
Will it open if the person on the pc saves it as an older version?
Thanks

How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1?

How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1? from acrobat.com docs? Sorry Not sure what community to ask this in this community? The email provider I was using didn''t seem to want to accept it through Adobe Send the first time and since Adobe Send ends January 6, I am assuming a zip file is preferable.. I thought I had seen an Adobe Zip file somewhere but haven't been able to locate it. Any help appreciated.
Thank you.
Sherrie

Hi Sherrie L,
Adobe Send is Adobe's current solution for sending large files. (It's Adobe SendNow that's retiring soon.) Can you tell us what trouble you were running into using Adobe Send?
There isn't a special version of Zip files for Acrobat, but you could reduce the PDF file size if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.
Best,
Sara

In Adobe 8 how do you create a bates log file?

I love this feature in Adobe 9 where one can select "output options" and change the way the bates stamped PDF is saved, to create a log file of bates numbers per document, etc. Are these same output options and bates log file options available in Adobe 8? Basically, how do I create a bates log file in Adobe 8?

This is a great utility---thanks for sharing it! The Javascripts folder can be hard to find--here's what worked for me:
For Macbook Pro users using Acrobat Pro X with OS X version 10 or greater, you’ll want to copy the unzipped “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” file into the JavaScripts folder located in this path:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts
*** IMPORTANT: To be able to see the Contents folder, you must Right-Click (Ctrl-Click if you don't have a right button) on the filename "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app", then select Show Package Contents from the pop-down menu. The Contents folder will appear in a new window and you can navigate to Contents/Resources/JavaScripts, and put the “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” into the JavaScripts folder.
Once you've done that, restart Acrobat Pro and you'll find the "Flatten" option in your Edit menu. VERY handy! Tip: might want to save your original PDF file as a different version just to be safe---once you flatten the PDF, it can't be undone, so either just print and don't save, or save as different version if need be.
