How do I import Flash with 3-D into After Effects?
Every time I import a SWF file that has 3-D in it, into after effects the file doesn't work.
How do I make this happen?
Hi Mylenium, Thank you. I had actually tried exporting it as a png sequence before writing this, however, I screwed up and forgot After Effects Preview mode was set to 50% so I thought that the png sequence was horribly pixilated... My bad... You suggested that I go back and try it again and it worked excellently. Thanks.

How do I import a Premiere Pro file into After Effects
So I'm an editor, I cut trailers and TV spots. I enjoy making my title cards on After Effects because it gives me a lot of options but I'm having difficulty. How do I import / edit a Premiere Pro file into After Effects? I imported the project file but the whole thing was a mess and nothing made sense. Can anyone explain this process to me?
By the way I used CS5.5 versions of the software.It actually works better if you go the other way... link an AE comp into your Premiere project.
Create and link to After Effects compositions with Dynamic Link -
Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.
Hi,
I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
Thanks.Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

I have tried everything to try and get this to work; i have tried multiple settings in boujou, i have imported the .ma file into maya and exported with baked keyframes and only the camera selected etc. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I am wondering whether Adobe has cut support for .ma files altogether, which is a real pain in my *** as the built in 3d track just isn't good enough. I have tried dragging the file into after effects, i have tried importing it neither of which do anything. The .ma files don't even show up, i have to select 'all files' under the file type when i choose import to even see the files, and when i click them it doesn't recognize it as tracking data, it'll try and import it as a .PNG file or something. I can't seem to find any plugins that would enable me to import .ma files. I just need that tracking data as a Camera in my scene and i don't care how it is done. Additionally, i have tried exporting as a .txt file and copying and pasting that data into a camera, which doesn't work (unless im doing it completely wrong).
Thankyou for readingI also experience this problem. My mp4 clips has been taken with a Samsung NV24HD camera and are HD (720p). I haven't tried to convert these clips but I think it should not be necessary since I can play them in quick time. However I have perian installed, perhaps that's why they play in quick time? The next question is then: Is there a similar plugin to iMovie?

Importing .AI file (multiple artboards) into After Effects imports all layers?
Okay, so I've been trying to figure out this issue that I am having but the problem is a bit wordy to explain.
What I want to do: Import an Illustrator file, that is a single artboard from a multiple artboard file into After Effects and ONLY import the layers from that artboard.
What is happening: Artboard 1 with shape 1, artboard 2 with shape 2, and artboard 3 with shape 3. When I export them (Save as --> .ai --> Save each artboard as a separate file), in .ai the layers are correct (ie only shape 1 on artboard 1), but when I import the .ai into AE, artboard 1 has shape 1, shape 2 and shape 3 (they are all separate layers).
How does Illustrator determine what is or isn't in an artboard? I am seeing the other layers but they are only 1x1 in AE.
I am using Illustrator CS6 and AE CS6 and I've tried it both on Mac and PC, and haven't gotten it to work. The weird thing is that it WAS working correctly before.I have (hypothetically), a three layer file each with a rectangle. Each rectangle is on a separate artboard. When I save each artboard as a separate .ai file (ie "Save as --> save each artboard as separate file"), in each .ai file, only the layers in each artboard are in the separate ai files:
artboard_01.ai only has layer with rect 1,
artboard_02.ai only has layer with rect 2,
artboard_03.ai only has layer with rect 3,
This is good, BUT when I import into After Effects, all three layers appear in each comp generated from the imported .ai files
comp of artboard_01.ai has layer with rect 1, layer for rect 2 (no content), and layer for rect 3 (no content).
comp of artboard_02.ai has layer with rect 1(no content), layer for rect 2, and layer for rect 3 (no content).
comp of artboard_03.ai has layer with rect 1(no content), layer for rect 2 (no content), and layer for rect 3. -
Importing Flame tracking data (FBX) into After Effects CC
I want to import tracking data exported from Flame Premium 2015 (Autodesk) into After Effects CC. Prevably in the FBX format. Can I do this, and if so how?
You could try importing it into C4D first. C4D comes for free with After Effects now: details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects

Importing a Premiere Pro Sequence into After Effects Crashes After Effects
Hello,
I'm on a Quad Core Mac, 2.8GHZ with 6GB of Ram.
I have a Premeire Pro project with varying MOV and MP4 files; from a DSLR and from a Sony EX-1 camera. This project has lots of media, over 3 TBs, and each and every time I try to import it into After Effects-After Effects crashes and does not respond.
Please help.
ThanksDon't try and do a whole movie in AE. After Effects is for making shots or short sequences. Break up the projects. Organize. 3TB of source materials into AE's Project folder means linking, analyzing, interpreting, and generating previews for enough material to shoot a feature film. Bring in the shots you're working on, not the entire movie. If you need to do an entire movie, break that up to Scenes and make each scene a separate project.
Terabytes of data would also choke Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid, or any other NLE if it was dumped in all at once. The only reason that a NLE can handle that much data is that there were some caches created when the footage was imported. -
White borders on objects I import from photoshop and illustrator into after effects?
No matter what format or what program I use to create elements for my After Effects project they import in with a frustrating white border around it. I don't remember this happening in earlier version on AE, right now I'm working on AE cs5.5. Anybody have any clue what's going on? Thank you very much for your time!
Here's an example of what im talking about:Check the alpha channel interpretation in the Interpret Footage dialog box. See these pages:"

Importing Premiere Project into After Effects
When I import a Premiere Pro project into After Effects, it splits every shot onto a new track, ending up with a couple of hundred tracks at the end.
Is there a way to avoid this ?
Particularly, since I'd want to keep the option of bringing the project file back in Premiere for further editing.
My colorist suggested that I nest reels of my timeline and split it that way so that when he imports it he has nests on one timeline and the multiple tracks in each of those nests. Still, this feel very clunky.Since my colorsit doesn't have CS4, I nested sequences in another timeline so that when I imported project in AE my colorist could see the one clip nest and click it to see other timeline to see all clips detail.
Thank you. -
Importing Premiere Pro project into After Effects ???

My colorist suggested that I nest reels of my timeline and split it that way so that when he imports it he has nests on one timeline and the multiple tracks in each of those nests. Still, this feel very clunky.An editor at work was using our Avid to do a grade on a short promo and I
wanted to see what I could do in After Effects. So when he was out of the
office I exported the timeline as an AAF and copied the OMFI media. When I
brought the project into After Effects I ended up with a massive number of
layers and freaked at first at the idea of doing anything with it.
However I thought about it again and decided to precompose all the layers,
as this gave me just one layer to work with. I then added a couple of
Adjustment Layers above it; one with a Levels effect added and the other
with HSL. I also added Masks to the Adjustment Layers so I could vignette
any effect.
The key to working like this was to use Hold Keyframes at the beginning of
each new shot for each effect, Mask Shape and Feather. I could then adjust
that shot, scrub to the next shot add new Hold Keyframes adjust that shot
and so on. When I wanted to repeat any effect settings on a shot, I just cut
and pasted the relevant keyframes. Mixes across shots can be tricky but you
can always go back to work with the original shots on their separate layers
if you need to.
I ended up with a quick grade that stood up nicely against the one done on
the Avid and I only had work with 3 layers on my timeline! -
Problem importing adobe premiere project into After effects CS6
I've been working in Adobe's premiere and after effects for quite a few years now and this problem is new to me.
I'm working on a project in After Effects CS6 and want to import a premiere pro project into After Effects. I go -> File -> import -> adobe premiere project
Select project
Select sequence
Now After Effects CS6 imports all files from the premiere pro project like before in CS5, but now also imports the videofiles as sequences at the root in my project panel and messes everything up. Before it usually imported nice and tidy with the same folder structure as the premiere pro project would have.
But that isn't the main problem. When i open the sequence i wanted to import and work on, some clips have been shortened down to 1 FRAME LONG at the end. These clips have a 500% speed in premiere pro, but this has never been a problem before, after effects has always before been able to translate the speed variations in clips from premiere -> after effects.
The adobe premiere project that was imported is a 60 sec promo with various clips in various formats (Gopro h264, dv pal quicktime etc). Footage not exceeding the fair amount that after effects should handle. 15-20 videfiles at 30 sec each.
I've never had this problem before with premiere <-> after effects.
Anyone?I just found the solution!
In my adobe premiere project that i was trying to import, some of the clips were "right clicked" and applied "Scale to frame size"
Every videoclip that had "scale to frame size" in my adobe premiere pro sequence would import as its own composition in After Effects rather than just a videofile, and some of the clips would be trimmed down to be invisible.
So if you have any problem with a clip not importing correctly into a sequence in after effects, check to make sure "scale to frame size" is not applied to the clip in premiere pro.
I removed the scale to frame size in the premiere project and now everything imports fine into after effects.
Sorry for the post. -
Help:How to publish a Flash with full screen HTML
Please, guys, be kind enough to teach me how to publish a
Flash with full screen size in HTML. I have tried to search the
board, but so far no luck.
Originally, I want my .SWF to keep changing its background.
The solution I got was placing colored stage-sized rectangles on
the bottom layer. Then I don't want the viewers to see the HTML
area where I cannot seem to control smooth color changes.
So, after I construct a Flash file with backdrop-color
changing by the method I mentioned above, how do I publish it with
full screen mode in HTML, as you can see
here? Help!
Thanks in advance, guys.Here's an AS2 and a AS3 version I got from David Stiller
2 small details you have to add 1 in publish settings set Dimensions to percent 100 100
and in the html set <style>body {margin: 0; padding: 0}</style>
// AS2
import flash.display.BitmapData;
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG():Void {
beginBitmapFill(tile);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
fillBG();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onResize = fillBG;
Stage.addListener(listener);
// AS3
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmp:Tile = new Tile(50, 50);
var tile:BitmapData = new BitmapData(50, 50);
tile.draw(bmp);
function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
graphics.beginBitmapFill(tile);
graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
graphics.endFill();
fillBG();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, fillBG);

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?
How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?
If you cannot import using File Menu > Import Movies... You'll have to convert them on a Mac.
You will need to use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
Basically, you drag the .mts file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your codec. And it will save out to a .mov file and iMovie will edit this format like there was no tomorrow -
Hi, I have the 'Adobe Flash CS3 Professional', and I want to
know if you could tell me how to save a flash with .SWF.
When I want to create a new project, I can chose between nine
types of documents, and I want to make a flash for a website. What
type of document would you chose if you were me ?
I can't write the name of the diferent types of documents,
because I have this programme in Spanish.
Can you help me ?
Thank youFLA is the native source format - make your movie and then
publish to SWF -
you can not create an SWF initially - SWF is the
exported/published format
of your FLA>
