You need to closely analyse the graphics and what they are doing..then make a study of the tool ( After Effects) to see how its achieved. Understand these are multiple components that are composited together.
Its pretty fundamental ( and actually rather simple once you know) but has a learning curve that involves some effort on your part. Time, time, time...
Start with the basic tutorials for AEFX and its all there...

Motion Paths In After Effects CS6?

Hello,
I was wondering if you could draw a motion path for objects to follow. I have multiple objects(12) that all need to follow on the same path. Do I have to animate all of them individually, or can I draw a path? These objects are NOT masks. They are text imported from Illustrator(CS6).
If Microsoft Powerpoint can do it, then surely Adobe can...
Thanks,

You can do this in several ways. The easiest is with Parenting. Next would be to tie position of one layer to position of another layer with an expression. You can also draw a mask path on a layer, select the mask in the timeline, reveal the position property of another layer, set a new keyframe for position to guarantee the mask path will be used as a motion path, and paste.
See this thread for details and a screenshot.

Apple Motion vs Adobe After Effects vs Macromedia Director

Greetings,
1. Is Motion like Adobe After Effects and/or Macromedia Director?
2. What are the similarities and differences between Motion and Adobe After Effects?

I have noticed LOTS of people are thinking about, Motion vs After Effects. I personally think it is Apple's intention to eventually exceed AE's abilities. Right now however, I find that 'round trip' thang between FCP and Motion awfully nice, no need for a go-between piece of software like Automatic Duck.
Anyway, in sorting thru my own AE vs Motion quandry I stumbled upon the following overview, which proved insightful - While it's now a bit dated, I found it helpful - Do consider, Motion does some compositing now and I think we'll see it do a lot more in future releases.
Perhaps it may also give you some more to think about - Hope it's helpful either way.

Importing Motion 2 into After Effects 7

Is it my imagination and/or lack of knowledge, or does AE7 not allow for the import of Motion 2 (with .motn or .mov as the extension)? I've tried it every way I can think of (based on the previous posts here about getting Motion 2 into AE6.5) and I can't get it to work.
Anyone else know for certain if this functionality is now broken?

I'm basing my question off of this info (as found at http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/motion/):
"Integrated Workflow
You can now use Motion in conjunction with Adobe After Effects. All of the particle effects, Replicator designs and animations in Motion can be added to an After Effects “comp” without rendering. Making a change is as simple as selecting “Open in Editor” from the After Effects edit menu."
And clicking on the "Features" link at the top of that same page leads to:
"In fact, Motion gets along so splendidly with Adobe After Effects that you can drag and drop project files into the latter or launch Motion from within After Effects."
Clicking further on the "Adobe After Effects Integration" link at the bottom of the "Features" page leads to this quote:
"You can also work hand-in-hand with Adobe After Effects. Drag and drop your native Motion 2 project files into After Effects 6.5 without rendering. To make a change, simply launch Motion from within After Effects; the changes you make will automatically update in your After Effects composition. And those who normally use After Effects can now easily access the intuitive particle creation, elegant Replicator designs and drag-and-drop procedural animation found in Motion 2."
I'm looking to be able to use this functionality with Motion 2 and After Effects 7. I'd prefer to remove the step of exporting .mov files out of Motion projects when I could possibly just import or drag/drop a native Motion 2 file right into After Effects 7 without rendering, as Apple states became possible in version 2.
Right now, when I attempt to do so with AE7, I get an error message that reads:
"After Effects error: retrieving movie from file "File Name" -- no QuickTime movie found (-2048).
( 10 :: 21 )"
That's when I try using the .motn and .mov extension. I'm guessing that Apple will have to alter the way Motion files are read as Quicktime files in order to get After Effects to recognize them as version 6.5 did.
Is this not correct?

How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

Short answer, there is no simple "export to iPhone", but if you just want to have a movie that you can watch on you iPhone, just send yourself an attachment via email (other than .avi) and save it to your phone.
You can also use dropbox as an option.
With an app, you could mount your iPhone as an external drive. (check out iExplorer)
Also: check AME for h264 variations before you send it to yourself. There are presets for iPhone compression.

How does convert document to working cmyk after adjusting in profile mismatch dialog box?

When there`s a profile or policy mismatch dialog box here,there`s an option about adjust the document to match current colour settings.But when the assign profile doesn`t match the working space,the check box of "convert document to working cmyk after adjusting"can choose.
But question come out,when I check the box,I find the profile auto turn to working cmyk profile,there`s nothing to do with the assigned profile I chosen.
So when to choose this option?why not directly choose the working cmyk profile?
some more questions.about the "placed content"option,I`m not quite catch the meaning of the options.such as "keep existing assignments"."disable all profiles"."enable all profiles".Can anybody answer me?

If I make a document with Color Settings' CMYK policy set to Off like this:
Save and close the doc then change Color Settings to this:
When I open the document the mismatch dialog tells me the document has no profile assigned while the current policy is set to preserve (the Off policy meant no profile got assigned).
Clicking Adjust... lets me change the document's policy from Off to the current Preserve Embedded and choose the profile I want to assign which can be any available CMYK profile including the current working space.
A document's profile assignments can also be changed via Edit>Assign Profiles..., but the document's policy can only be changed from the Mismatch dialog
If I click Adust... the profile I choose from Assign Profile is now the document's profile:
Which is confirmed when I open Edit>Assign Profiles...

How to Create and export motion data from After effects CC to Flash CC

Hi there ,
Basically what I've got here is as follows.
I have a small character animation (about 100x100 px) - that is running inside a screen of 1280x720 px.
I want to hold the caracter in one position (so that I can get ridd off the useless alpha. i guess i will do that manually by keyframing)
and also to give a motion data to be used in Flash CC - to assemble the original animation.
Can anybody help me out with this?

Yeah, that's one of the reasons that we removed it: no one was using it. And it was terrible.
Here's more information:

Of course, if you _do_ want this feature, it's relatively easy to save the project back to After Effects CS6 and then use After Effects CS6 to create an XFL file. Keep in mind that all Creative Cloud subscribers have access to CS6 versions, too.

How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

Hello,
I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
I am using Windows 8 OS.
Thanks!

CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

How do I generate HTML5 files from After Effects CC?

Hi
Forgive my n00b question, but I've built a small video in After Effects that I need to import into Adobe Edge Animate. Edge says it will take .ogg files, so how do I convert an After Effects project to output usable footage available to HTML5 sources?
Thanks again,
Rich

Rick (and anyone else working through this issue):
I received this info when I posted this same question on the Edge Animate forums, I hope it helps :-)
Hi Rich,
Unfortunately, Adobe Media Encoder doesn't have native support for ogg/theora or ogg/vorbis. However, you can install a (currently beta) plug-in on your system which will enable ogg encoding in AME:
fnordware/AdobeOgg · GitHub
Or, if you'd rather, you can also install the Firefox extension Firefogg, and encode to ogv directly from Firefox:
Firefogg - video and audio encoding for Firefox
I've had excellent results using both of the above methods.

How can I make this scene in After Effects?

The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug. Gandalf vs The Necromancer (Sauron) - YouTube
I am making this scene in stop motion lego. How can I make this scene, the shield vs smoke and the flaming figure, including the shots that zoom into Sauron's mouth. How do I do these shots? I am new to after effects. I have done basic smoke before, but nothing like this. I've done snow and green screen and fire, but I'd just like some help. Thank you I have CS6

There is no plug-in or button, only careful planning based on knowledge of the process of combining layers of images into a final image. Every element in a composite is a separate layer. If you are new you need to do some basic research. There are lots of books out there that will show you the theory. Start on AMAZON or your public library. http://www.amazon.com/Effects-Visual-Compositing-Studio-Techniques/dp/0321934695/ref=sr_1_ 2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421914012&sr=8-… may be a good place to start. Once you get some knowledge you can start breaking down a shot like this:
Layers that I see in this shot in order.
Vignette to darken the corners of the shot
Foreground smoke
Lighting effects on smoke
Foreground branches
Middle ground actor as a track matte or mask source for
Middle ground smoke
Middle ground lighting effects in the smoke
Actor on rock
Rock to act as a mask for background lighting effects and smoke
Rock
Background smoke and lighting effects
Background
If your original footage contained the background, the rock, the actor, and the branches then your first task would be to separate each of those to a separate layer. Then you would create or shoot the smoke and lighting effects and start building the layers. You then would modify the masks and effects on each layer to create the light wrap and look of the atmosphere using blend modes. Then you would add color grading effects or overlays to simulate the lighting in the shot. If you were really doing a shot like this you would probably add some lighting cues on the set to help sell the idea that a bunch of energy was lighting up the actors face. Like Mulenium said, there may have easily been fifty folks working on this shot for several days. It's completely unreasonable to expect that you can just add a plug-in and adjust some sliders to create the effect. Every composite requires you to separate elements into layers and then sandwich the elements you need to create and sell the effect you want to sell.
