How to fix rough edges text in After Effects cs4? Please help.

How to fix this? rough edges in text.
in the first, it's not like this but the next i open after effects cs4, it goes like that.

Hi there mato31,
Hopefully this will help — if that screenshot is your comp window at 50%, then I would hazard a guess that the resolution quality of your comp window was set down to half or quarter quality (this would be my first guess in this instance, worth a try?). If you look across the bottom of the comp window next to the RGB channels icon, the drop-down menu for the comp window resolution is there. Does yours say perhaps Quarter or Third? Just a guess... Usually one would work at Full, but I usually leave it set to Auto so when a comp is viewed at 50%, it automatically changes the quality to 50% which leaves smooth edges (a comp viewed at 50% zoom factor, with full resolution, looks jagged also).
Anyway, just a first thought. Let me know if that helps at all?

  • Can you create the Title effect in Daybreakers, adobe after effects cs4,,please take this one as cha

    im currently studying Adobe After Effects CS4, and i found the title of DAYBREAKER(2009)movie a very interesting effect to create, i hope you can give me tutorials on how to do that..please! more power, NOTE: im using adobe after effects cs4

    From what I saw on the trailer for this film the titles are a modified version of George Peolvoy's Flowing Title tutorial posted on Creative Cow about 10 years ago. You'll find the tutorial here.
    The glass effect on the type can be duplicated using layer effects in Photoshop and / or then applying those layer effects to your type layer directly in AE. You'll find a bunch of those tutorials by doing a simple Google search for Glass Text Photoshop.
    There is no one click, one plug-in solution, but if you integrate the layer effects, a displacement map, some compound blur, and a little position keyframing + motion blur you should be able to duplicate the effect exactly. George's tutorial should get you started. If I remember right the project files were for AE 4.1 so they probably won't open in CS4.
    Good luck

    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...

  • Cannot paste text into After Effects CS4

    Hi there,
    I've searched all over and I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious; but how do you copy and paste text from one program into an active text box in AE CS4?
    I'm adding credits to a video and I need to put down some copyright info - and I want to copy and paste all the details so I don't need to type it all.
    But I can work around that - I can just type it. However, I want to copy the © symbol in - and this is what happens.
    I open character map, search for "copy" and select this "©" and click on copy, jump into ae, go into an active text box with cursor blinking, and Cntr+V for paste and boom! - there I have a whole phrase jump in - which was whatever I last copied from AE text box -- NOT what I just copied from character map.
    But then I come over here to the forums and without copying that symbol again, I just hit paste and it pastes it right in here.
    It acts the same way with other text, from browser, from photoshop (active text box - copy selected text).
    I would assume there's a way to copy and paste, but what am I missing?

    Allow me to be slightly embarrassed - you must be exactly right. This morning I went back and tried again, and it worked perfectly!
    Still makes me wonder why it didn't work yesterday - I restarted Adobe but didn't restart the computer like I did over night.
    My system:
    Windows 7 Pro (64-bit)
    Intel i7 X980 3.33GHz
    750 GB system drive
    2TB Media drive
    12 GB Memory
    GeForce GTX 470
    Running Adobe Production Premium CS4
    AE version 9.0.3.8
    Font used: Adobe Caslon Pro
    Copied from character map with font: Adobe Caslon Pro
    Everything in English (US)
    I had a project in AE that was 80 seconds long, no external video footage but all built in AE at 1280 X 720, 30 fps
    I'm guessing some background process maybe messed the clipboard up? Anyway, it works now and I guess it was a one-time occurence. If I can ever recreate this repeatedly - I'll be back here!
    thanks!

  • I can't edit my keyframes in after effects? (please help)

    Okay so the other day I purchase after effects, everything was working fine until this happened:
    http://gyazo.com/1ad100e3404c6e7c06e01407d2b8e7a8
    (click on the link screenshot)
    This is really bugging me and i've uninstalled and reinstalled with no results.
    My computer's specs are in this screenshot:

    Just explain to me all the options i can take towards fixing this.

    You simply have hidden the A/V column. Right-click on the column headers and reveal it from the list. If it has shrunk together so you can't expand it again, trash the prefs to restore factory defaults.

  • Photoshop to After Effects Export, Please Help !!

    Hello Guys!! I have created a multi-layered photoshop document
    I want to export this to after effects. But when I export it into AE, I don't get any option of editable layer styles/ merge layer styles.(see images to see what i get in folders)
    Please help as I want to animate this and had worked a lot in creating this image (I am a beginner)

    You might do better asking this question in the After Effects forum ...

  • How to fix choppy/wavy video using After Effects?

    Here's the video, just in case my explanation doesn't do justice, Shou.tv/aesthete18. It's the 21:03 minutes one (You can rotate video on top right corner)
    Some details on the video:
    The video on the site is recorded at 2mbps bitrate and 720p resolution. The max is 16mbps bitrate and 1080p resolution. Both have the same issues
    The problem:
    When the character is walking, the video seems to be wavy, you can see the screen is kinda moving to the right. It's really hard to watch and hurts the eyes after awhile. I'm not sure if this has to do with bitrate or anything but I doubt it as a friend of mine did it in 8mbps without any issues, he's was pretty smooth.
    What I'd like to know is, can it be fixed in AE? A friend of mine has AE CS4 but he doesn't know much about it. I'd be willing to learn, if you'd point me in the right direction, I can use his PC to edit.
    Keep in mind, I've only just seen the interface of AE and have no idea how anything works.

    The link is to a game play screen capture, which is upside down by the way, and it shows a lot of color and motion artifacts. The artifacts and frame rate problems have everything to do with your screen capture program and if they are in the original video there is not much you can do about it using AE or any other program. I can't stand to watch game play anyway. It even gives me a headache when the most games are running. I know recording your game play is popular with the gaming community but there has got to be a better way to capture it than the way you are doing.

  • I don't know how to use a light layer in After Effects CS4

    Hello,
         I work with a lot of texts layers and it's very trendy to put a light layer across the text at one point or another, it looks really good too. But I've looked on the net for tutorials and can't figure out how to use the light layer so that a light goes across a text from one side to the other. It looks like a flash light went across the text. I go to the top and choose >Layer >New >Light.
    What happens is the color of the text changes (the part that isn't shined upon). How can I change the settings so that the text color doesn't change? Do you know of any video tutorials to use for a light layer?
       Thank you for your time!!

    How can I change the settings so that the text color doesn't change?
    That is kind of a paradox. The whole point of using 3D lights is to have them illuminate the layer, including all shading properties. Color is defined by the layer's base color multiplied with light color and intensity. You really need to set your mind into 3D mode. That aside, I wouldn't bother using a light with flat text. Simply create a feathered circle on top (or 2 or 3), set blending mode to add and animate it across your type.

  • Elements on my Mac wont work after trying CS4, please help.

    Elements will not work now. I had installed a trial version of Photoshop CS4 and it shut down Elements. I have now uninstalled the CS4 programs and am trying to reinstall Elements. It is asking me to put the CS4 disc in the complete the Elements installation. Does anyone know why it would ask me to do this? I really dont want the CS4 back on, as I do not want to purchase the program.

    If you DO NOT have any other Adobe applications installed, you could try the following steps for a clean uninstallation:
    1.      Delete PSE folder from /Application folder
    2.      Delete Adobe folder from /Library/Application Support/ Location
    3.      Go to /Applications/Utilities location and delete Adobe Utilities folder and Adobe Installers folder.
    4.      Go to /Library/Logs folder and delete Adobe folder
    5.      Go to /Users/Library/Application Support/ and delete the Adobe folder
    6.      Go to Finder and click on Go -> Go To Folder and enter /tmp as folder name. This is a hidden folder and delete all the contents from this folder.
    Now try installing again.

  • If you experience a crash in After Effects CS4...

    If you experience a crash in After Effects CS4, please provide full information through the Adobe Crash Reporter.
    See this post on my blog for more information:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2008/12/after_effects_and_the_adobe_cr.html

    Ran into this problem today. I made sure to send a detailed report to Adobe. I have traced the problem to Red Giant Knoll Light Factory plugins. I am using the latest version 2.5.3.
    Removing the plugins from the MediaCore folder allows CS4 to open again. I tried moving the KLF plugin folder to the AE CS4 Plugins folder instead and it opens, but as soon as you try to apply the filter, it crashes the same way.
    I am wondering if the AE CS4 9.0.1 patcher will help things at all...
