How to use Pixel Bender Effects in After Effects

Hello,
if I create a filter in Pixel Bender I can save it as
.pbk-file. But After Effects uses .aex-files for PlugIns. How can I
load .pbk in After Effects or change file-format to .aex or what
can I do?
Thanks for each help!

Oh, now I copied the .pnb-file in the PlugIn-Folder.
Now I saw the new category Pixel Bender in the Effects menu.
Thank You!

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.

How do I use Pixel Bender effects?

So I've installed the Pixel Bender Toolkit. How do I use .pbk effects in After Effects CS4?

Mylenium is right. You work with effect plug-ins written with Pixel Bender the same way that you work with effect plug-ins written in C/C++. All of the information that you need should be in the
"Plug-ins" section of After Effects Help. In the comments of that section, there are some links to Tom Beddard's site, where he has some great examples of Pixel Bender effect plug-ins. Tom gives detailed instructions about installing his Pixel Bender effect plug-ins, if you really want to see it laid out step by step.

How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

I have the latest adobe creative cloud and i'm using Mac 10.8.2
My client gave me a wmv file that she wants some people blurred out in the background but when I go to import the media, it's greyed out. I'm assuming that After Effects will be the best solution for this, but maybe there is another way.
I can purchase a video converter and convert it to .mov but that costs extra money that I don't want to spend just to do this one project.

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.

looks like speed effect... is there a way to replicate it in after effects?

CC Bender is really easy to use. Just take the default settings and animate the amount with about three keyframes.
We can make it a lot more complicated with something like liquefy, or even Time Displacement.

Colour Effect In after effects

Hi Friends,
I have after effects cs5 and I am learning it myself by watching free video tutorials available on the internet.
I am searching for a tutorial of video colour effect sawn in below image.
Actually in that video some area is B&W but some is coloured. What is the name of this effect and how can I create this kind of video effect in After effects CS5? Where can I find its tutorials? [Please see below image].
Thanks.
Regards,
Vipati

So as to create such sort of effect, you need to separate targeted area from the rest of your footage.
Since you are on CS5, you may use awesome Roto Brush Tool (see this help section with two video tutorials included how to use it).

Looping effects in After Effects?

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to loop an effect in after effects. Let me explain more. I'm creating a scene with changing colors, the best look for me was using
the Hue/Saturation effect. I would just key frame it and change the color every 5 frames, this gives me a quick color change. The thing is, its tedious to key frame it
every 5 frames for the entire clip. It would be better if I could some how loop it through the entire clip. I basically want to animate it for about 30 frames and than
take that animation and loop it for the rest of the clip.
I hope I explained this well enough, if you want more information let me know, thanks for any help!

diffusecash
Create two key frames say at 01:00 and 02:00. Now copy the two key frames and paste at 02:01. Now you will have four key frames with one loop.
In Effects Control panel, Alt click on Channle range(if you are animating Master Hue), Click on the small arrow button to open Expression Language. Go to Property and choose
loopOut(type="cycle", numKeyframes=0): .
This will create a loop animation of your two key frames.
