How to create a facebook "likes" counter in adobe after effects?

I was wondering if anyone could guide me to a tutorial on how to create a small icon that updates for example, the number of steps a person has taken or how many likes a video has got. For an example, I want to shoot a video where someone is running and I use a device which monitors my steps. The device shows the steps as 2 running shoes and in my video I would like to have this icon with the steps being counted beside it in my video.

My approach would be to take a screen grab of the look you want, in the highest resolution possible.  Rebuild and adjust what you need, either in Photoshop or After Effects.
To create a counter that steps up numerically, you can either use a text layer with an expression to keyframe the numbers, or create a solid and apply the Numbers plugin, which also allows you to keyframe the numbers.
Here's some options straight from a Google search: after effects number counter
If you're seeking a tool that will automatically count the steps of the person walking/running, that's a very complex proposition.

  • Teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using Adobe After Effects

    I need to create a memorial video for a loved one that passed away. Can someone teach me how to create the opening "hallway" sequence using AE? here is the video from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4191kcW07f0 . Thanks

    I'll give a very brief overview but, presuming that you are new to After Effects, understanding and executing on this overview will require learning the basics of After Effects.
    You'll be creating a 3D scene based on a few 3D layers: one each for the floor and each wall. Each of those 3D layers will be a precomposition layer; the wall layer with the pictures will be based on a precomposition in which you have placed your pictures as individual layers. You will create some 3D lights shining down from above. You'll create a 3D camera that you will then animate to move down the hallway.
    As I said, that is a very brief overview. Understanding each of those pieces will require some learning. After Effects is not a simple application, so you do need to be prepared to put in some learning time if you are going to do this yourself. Here is the place to start: http://adobe.ly/AE_basics
    All that said, I would recommend that you hire someone to do this for you. Learning a new and complex creative application under the time pressure (and other pressure) that you are under may be too much to ask.

  • After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy

    I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
    When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
    "After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
    I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
    I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
    I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.

  • Trial version load file error: ... created with a newer version of Adobe After Effects

    I downloaded and installed the trial version of Adobe After Effects 6.0 last night and worked on a project for quite some time. This morning, when I tried to open the project, it gave me: After Effects Error: this file was created with a newer version of After Effects [3.0 (unknown)] -- time to upgrade your application.
    The message is  annoying. This means that if anyone send me an After Effects File from future versions, I cannot load them. Even Microsoft has converters for backwards compatibility
    It is costing me time to evaluate the product, and lowering my opinion of it since it obviously has bugs

    Ah, I see. So you are using 6.0, not CS6? Yes, in that case things are just as they are - AE is not forward compatible. Only CS5.5 and CS6 allow to save one version back (that is CS5 and CS5.5, respectively), but beyond that AE never offered this feature. anyway, AE 6.0 is hopelessly outdated. It doesn't even work on contemporary operating systems nor does it work properly with current versions of Quicktime and just the same it doesn't support any modern media formats, so that's like trying to fly to the moon with a WW I. airplane... and to make matters worse - AE 6.0 was one of the most bug-ridden versions of the program in the first place.

  • This file was created with a newer version of Adobe After Effects

    I downloaded the trial version of Adobe After Effects last night and spent a lot of time learning how to use the product, created my first tracking face on a body in a video.
    This morning when I tried to open the project I got an error message: After Effects Error: this file was created using a newer version of After Effects [3.0 (unknown)] -- time to upgrade your application!
    What should I do?

    Sounds odd. If you created it in CS6 it should open just fine in that same version. chances are that the project fiel is simply damaged. Impossible to tell without actualyl seeing the file.

  • How can I connect to dynamic link in Adobe After Effects CC ???

    Please help !

    To create a dynamic link AE project you start in Premiere Pro. There are lots of tutorials including this one from Adobe TV which comes up if you search Dynamic Link in the After Effects Search Help field at the top right corner of the app. The search help field in AE is the most under used feature of the program for new users. I've been at it for 20 years and I use this feature all the time to find new things and things I've forgotten.

  • How to render/export fast in Adobe After Effects CC

    Hi,
    How can I export and render fast in Adobe After Effects, I bought a new PC but it's not quick enough in my opinion.
    I want to export a 1920*1080 60FPS project, 10 seconds long. It takes a very long time.
    I have already set my GPU as processor but if I start the render and look at my GPU usage, After Effects won't use it.

    > How can I export and render fast in Adobe After Effects,
    See this page for resources about making After Effects work faster: http://adobe.ly/eV2zE7
    > I have already set my GPU as processor but if I start the render and look at my GPU usage, After Effects won't use it.
    After Effects uses the GPU for almost nothing. See this page for details of GPU features in After Effects:
    GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects
    > A ''verry long time'' is 10 minutes for a 10 second video.
    10 minutes is not a long time for a 10-second movie with visual effects, compositing, 3D, or many other kinds of computationally intensive processing. Often, people leave 30-second movies overnight or over the weekend to render. This is true for all aoftware that does this kind of work, not just After Effects.

    Hi,
    You should be more specific, what kind of hardware you are using ???
    Which kind of pulse you are measuring ?? You are saying that you want to count a number of pulses and then when you get to a limit (which will be between 3 and 10) you want to output a pulse ?

    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Hi
    Run pfcg and try to go to change with your restricted settings then click on the error message to get the table entries in performance assistant. Put those in prgn_cust via sm30.
    Then use 22 instead of 02 in newly called object S_USER_SAS.
    Make sure you have at least one user with * in that object for full access across the landscape before transporting the table.
    Cheers

    Forgot to say - when you have the new object value 22 in your restricted role and assigned to test user prior to moving to PROD the only way to go into change mode is to first go to the USER tab and then press change. Anywhere else and you'll still get the 'you are not authorised' message.
