How to make a blimp in Adobe After Effects?

I'm making a video with a blimp in it soon, is it possible to make a blimp in Adobe After Effects? If you can't could you please name some free softwares that could make a blimp? Thanks so much if you can (A Moving Blimp Shown from bottom)

This completely depends on your shot. You could simply cut out a shot of a blimp using Photoshop and animate that moving across the screen, or you could do camera projection in a 3D app and model a 3D blimp. Blender is a very powerful open source (free) 3D program that I use all the time. It will take you a couple of weeks to learn enough to set up the kind of a scene I just described.
It sounds like you're just starting out so I'd go for the first solution. Find the shot of the blimp first, then, based on the angle of the shot, shoot the shot you want to use as the background plate.
Blimp, cut out in Photoshop, layered with background plate =
Notice how the light is coming fromthe same direction and has about the same quality.

  • 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 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.
    Screenshots of my project and settings:

    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:

    > 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.

  • How do you do this in adobe after effects?

    What's up
             I wanted to know how do i achieve this in adobe after affects? What tutorials do i need to look at to do this?

    Mathew,
    try this link for free light leak downloads
    http://vashivisuals.com/free-assets-for-film-and-video-editors/
    place the light leak above your video layer, set its blend mode to 'screen', and set 3 opacity keyframes where you want the light leak to happen - the first being 0, then 5 frames later set the  second keyframe to an opacity of 75 and then another 5 frames later set the third keyframe to 0 to get the light leak to flash as in your example video.
    Hope this helps

  • How compatible is Motion 5 with Adobe After Effects CS5.5?

    If I create a project in Motion 5, am I able to export this project so that it is natively importable into Adobe After Effects CS5.5? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    The two will not read each other's project files.  You could try an XML export, and import that into AE.  Audomatic Duck makes translators for this type of stuff.

  • How to uninstall trial version of adobe after effects on vista

    been having problems doing this, it wont work in the control panel when try to uninstall it. any help?

    This is not a Technical Communications Suite product. If this is AE CS4 you can try the CS4 Clean Script:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    If that fails, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
    If that fails try the AE forum.

    Side Note: I'm a beginner, so please go easy on me. This includes explaining things to me like I've never touched the program before.
    Hello! I was watching this tutorial here that displayed how to make a .ai file in After Effects not get pixelated when scaled up. In order to do this however, they press this button here (I'm referring to the button that the mouse is hovering over):
    That button is not in CC 2014, so I'm not sure how to continue. Could someone help me out?
    I'm happy to explain more if I wasn't clear, thanks!

    Wow, I feel embarrassingly stupid now. Thanks anyway!

    Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard drive and lots of memory and you have none of the above. If you upgraded the RAM to 8 gigs and installed a solid state hard drive you might make the program useable but the real bottleneck  is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded. 
    You do have an open slot to add one 4 gig memory module. This is an easy relatively inexpensive upgrade. See here:

    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ct51264bf160b
    I would try this a step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. That would cost maybe $150. Post back if you need more help.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 - how to uninstall/reinstall or transfer license to a new computer

         My old computer has crashed, and so I built a new one recently. I have been installing all the applications for it, downloading files, so on and so forth. I recently insterted one of the hardrives from my old computer, and was able to see the files I had from my old computer. All of my adobe applications are on there, and I can see them, however; I cannot use them, which is okay, since most of them were free applications that I could download from the website. But Adobe After Effects CS6, which is the application I really need, does not open it; instead, it reads: "Configuration Error: Please uninstall and reinstall the product. Error: 16". I bought the CD for After Effects last summer, but I cannot find it anywhere. I heard you don't need the CD to transfer the license to a new computer, but I can't figure out how to do this.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since after building my computer, I have absolutely no funds nor interest to buy another After Effects CD.
    Thanks,
    John W. King
