Importing Photoshop 3D in After Effects

hello,
I am experiment in photoshop and i discovered a REPOUSSE option in 3D menu which allows me to convert a text layer into 3D.
And then I saved that file as PSD and tried to open it in After Effects as a 3D text for my animation,
But it did not work.
So Can I export 3D converted text layers into After Effects for 3D? or do i need XARA 3D

Thank you for providing very helpful information regarding photoshop Repousse 3D
Sorry for insufficient information provided by me, from next time i'll discuss whole thing in detail.
I am interested in achieving text explosion effect using SIMULATION>shatter, as text explode with material.
I understand that the SIMULATION>shatter effect is 2D, is there any way to achieve same effect?
The steps are as follows :
1) I turn on the text layer in 3D,
2) edit that layer in Repousse
3) then in the 3D window, in the quality filter I applied Ray Traced Final
4) and then saved it as a .psd
5) after that I opened the said psd in AE, as a composition
6) in the said comp I got 4 layers, 1) BG, 2) TEXT, 3) Text Controller, 4) Camera
7) then i applied SHATTER effect, on the TEXT layer
8) as effect applied I previewed it, but text broken in 2D, (as SHATTER effects is not a 3D)
9) I don't have any 3D software to create material so can you please tell me shall I achieve the same effects using ADOBE SOFTWARES????
THANK YOU

Photoshop Curves for After Effects.

It would be great to have the Photoshop Curves instead of the Synthetic Curves in After Effects. The Synthetic Curves are just not as extensive as the ones from Photoshop.
Can the Photoshop team team up with the After Effects team. It is painfull and time consumming to go to Photoshop, use Curves, save Curves and import Photoshop curves to After Effects.

<<I agree. I use the eyedroppers in Photoshop Curves all the time. I think it's time for you to add your name to a feature request. You'll find the form here.>>
Done... Wish us luck.

Importing a video layer from photoshop cs5 to after effects cs5

hi - you guys were so brilliant and prompt on answering my last question. thankyou
i did have another i needed help with -
is it possible to bring in a video layer from photoshop cs5 to after effects cs5 - i tried but it said "the photoshop library operation failed because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop"
thanks again

In the import dialog box, uncheck the Photoshop Sequence option.
The problem is the number on the end of your file name. When After Effects sees a number there, and there are other files in that directory with the same name and a number, it thinks the images are part of a sequence and will enable that checkbox.
More info here: Import a single still image or a still-image sequence

Import animated model in after effects

Hello guys.I was wandering if there is a way to import a 3d model that was animated in programs like 3ds max an so.I mean not just rotation and possition but animated some part of the object also.e.g if it is a humman then he have to have animated hands.Thanks in advance and if there is something that u didnt understand , feel free to ask plsease.

I already have some pretty good 3D applications that can output OBJ and DXF amongst others (also FBX). Do I really need to buy Zaxwerks JUST to import my OBJ into After Effects CS6? In previous versions I could export an OBJ to Photoshop Extended and then import that as a 3D layer into AE (I just saw a tutorial on it) But I just learned that that functionality has been removed from AE CS6. So what do I do now to get a 3D model into AE as a 3D layer? I don't necessarily want to render everything from the 3D application as stills. I would like to try to use AE's cameras so that I can integrate other AE layers with my 3D objects.
Or should I just stick to the old guns and do everything in the 3D application and render as stills?

Opacity of photoshop images in after effects

When I import a photoshop image into after effects, the image always has less opacity than the video. You can see through it.
I have tried every adjustmen or effect I can find to increase the opacity but nothing works. The photshop image is 100% opacity.
I have tried importing as a comp too. Can anyone tell me how to get still images into after effects so that you cant see through them? thanks John

sorry you are dealing with a beginner still.
...which means that you need to begin at the beginning. AE is NOT the kind of application that lets you jump into the deep end of the pool. Your experiences with something as simple as importing a Photoshop document, and the confusion you encountered, are blindingly-clear testimony to that simple fact.
You really owe it to yourself to take advantage of the free training materials for beginners found here:

Extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects

How do it extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects?
I am just getting my hands dirty with metadata.
I know it is possible to attack metadata to a layer/layerset in Photoshop, but how to I get it out in After Effects.
Here is the process.
I create BunchaLayers.psd.
Using the PerLayerMetaData.jsx file attached.
I use the setCommMetadata("something") function to attacked metadata to a selected layer.
I know that is is there because I check it using the exportLayerMetadata().
I save and imprt BunchaLayers.psd into AE as a comp.
Here I am lost.
I select my layer in the project window and check the XMP metadata window.
I can't find my comment.
Is the XMP data actually attached to the layer I imported in AE?
I want to be able to select the layer and see that the data is attached. Is this possible?
If it is will it work on layersets (comps in AE)?
I would appreciate any layer specific XMP insight.
Thanks for looking.

John Nack on Adobe : Per-layer metadata comes to Photoshop
This was the article that made me think this might be possible.
There is also the preference to Create Markers From Metadata
["Metadata"]
"CreateLayerMarkersFromFootageXMP" = 01
Which made me wonder if there is a way to create the metadata in the first place that made it something AE would read and automatically change to layer markers.
Any ideas?

Applying photoshop filters in After effects layers!

Hi. Is it possible applying those photoshop filters into After effects layers? I thought the filter worked like layers, so when I import the photoshop files to AE I could drag the filter and apply it on a movie layer! I didn't work! Is it possible? thks!
PS: I'm using Production premium CS5.5!

Well, I'm reading the book ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS CS5 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK; chapter 6 (animating layers): it's about importing PSD files to After effects compositions! I was thinking about creating scenarios to a movie using PSD files. When I apply a layer style to a picture in Photoshop CS5, save this picture, and import this picture to AE it comes likes 2 files: a composition ( picture + layer stile) and a picture without the layer style. I'm gonna use the very same words of the book.
Though layer styles are referred to as effects in Photoshop, they behave more like blending modes in AE...Another diference is that each layer style blends directly with the underlying layers in the composition, whereas an effect is rendered on the layer to which it's applied, the result of which then interacts with the underlying layers as a whole!
Well, I have tried to apply a layer style on a movie file of my composition but it doesn't work cuz the layer style doesn't come alone, it comes with the picture!
So I have figured the following possibility! Take a look in this!
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T5L62G9WLio/UALdatCbrmI/AAAAAAAAAyI/7hQJK_drigg/s1600/Screen19.j pg
What if I apply a filter in this shot. Will the filter be applied only on the statue or it would be applied on the checkerboard background too? If the second possibility is possible I could apply this image above a movie and use the filter on it, couldn't I? After all the checkerboard background is transparent! Got it?

Import files.mov in After Effects.

Hi everyone.
I'm coming to you because I have a new problem when I'm importing my files.mov in After Effect cs6.
I use "Toon Boom Studio" to make stickman animation (it's for a project for my school) and when I'm exporting the file, I set 25 fps, 1920x1080 resolution and Apple ProRes 422 compression.
When I'm playing the animation in quicktime, we can see that every parameters are corrects :
But when I import this file in After Effect CS6, a strange thing happened :
The fps of this file is to 26.042 and especially I don't have all the frames of my file. I mean there isn't the last frame of my animation. It seems that my animation was cut at the end. But it isn't when I played it in Quicktime or VLC.
I'm sorry for my english, I hope you will understand me.

Hello,
You means changes the fps of the file to 26.042 to 25 ? If it's what you are talking about, I already try this, but it still miss the end of my animation.
I create an animation with a stickman of 8 frames, 4 differents :
And when I open it in After Effect, there isn't the last one. And it seems that the first picture last 3 frames in AE instead of 2.

Problem with importing premiere project into after effects

Hi. When I import premiere project into after effects CS4 the files I speed up 2x (for example) look likes on the snapshot below, and they are not in the correct places.
what can I do?

Then don't speed them up... This is "as designed". AE and Premiere are not compatible in their tiem-remapping/ time-stretching, so tehre is no way to move between them without losing that info.

A very important question for every After Effects user

a very important question for every After Effects user, from product manager Steve Forde:
http://adobe.ly/1exI6tI

Tom Daigon Great idea everybody! Encourage Adobe to do ONLY ONE THING with AE for 2014. Since theres not a heck of a lot of development that can be done on the present foundation, they can really stretch the rental scheme out for many years.And once you get used to the concept, every year they will do ONE THING to placate you. So now they have you swallowing no "ownership" of software and limited development.

Importing VPE files to after effects from photoshop

I've tried this loads of times and nothing happens. The file appears in after effects but there is no camera automatically created (as I think its supposed to be) and the 3D image is still a 2D photo.
Please can anyone help?

Several things can be going on here.
1. It could be that your PSD / VP grids are incorrectly drawn (wall/floor/wall)
Remember that you need to have the grids drawn properly in order to allow AE to interpret the camera data.
2. Your grid is skewed
The VPE data is dependent on those grids so that the camera placement can be determined. If you skew the grid, the camera might be 10000 px away
3. Multi grids
You'll get multiple cameras, which SHOULD break AE.
4. Camera Rotation
Sometimes the camera is just looking in the wrong place.
NOTE When you import the VPE, USE the VPE project that is created - don't just pull in the elements. It's camera mapping, so you'll need the correct layers and correct (crazy) camera to see the image properly.

please help me

Surely you realize the simple issue this creates: neither solution works for CS6 users. Hence, why I feel like such users are left in the cold when it comes to importing 3D.
Am I crazy? What am I missing about this simple issue? Pre-CS6 users didn't have to pay extra to import 3D; CC users don't have to pay extra to import 3D; why should I?
After Effects (any version) doesn't have the capability to directly import and use 3D model files, if that's what you desire. Plug-ins for After Effects CS6 like Video Copilot's Element 3D, AtomKraft, and Zaxwerks ProAnimator and 3D Invigorator allow you to work with 3D files. Cinema 4D and 3DS Max have integrated workflows with After Effects CS6 that exchange their 3D data with After Effects.
Outside of this, a common workflow is to render your 3D model to a sequence file, and then to import that into After Effects. This works regardless of which 3D modeling application or which version of After Effects you are using. Here's some information and links to resources:
http://helpx.adobe.com/en/after-effects/using/preparing-importing-3d-image-files.html#impo rting_and_using_3d_files_from_other_applications
There's lots of information available about workflows between 3D modeling applications and After Effects that don't involve Photoshop. If you're having trouble finding what you need, I recommend creating a new thread with specific information about what applications you're using and what you're trying to accomplish.

Exporting 3D image in Photoshop CS5 to After Effects CS5

Hi there,
Is there anything special I need to do when saving a PSD file with a 3D layer in it? I've done this with CS4 and it's worked flawlessly--upon upgrading to CS5, I can't seem to figure out how to Render for Final Output (I've got Ray Trace Final set, but I never noticed it formally render anything) and make it show up pretty in AE. You can see what it shows up as below. In Photoshop it looks much better. Any tips on figuring this out?
Thanks for your help
After Effects:
Photoshop:

Bummer. I've tried to adjust every setting possible via preferences as well as in the 3D options window. I did notice that when the render settings are set to "Solid" instead of "Flat," the image appears garbled just like it does when imported into After Effects--is this because of an error in rendering from 3D studio max or something? Should the Face Style be set to Solid or Flat? I've been using Flat this whole time because it looked best. See below.
Solid:
Flat:
I'm at a loss for what to do at this point. I have to deliver in less than 12 hours. Any additional input would be very helpful.
Thank you

How to import transparent gifs in after effects cc

I just upgraded form after effects cs5 to cc and one thing i cant understand is why i cant directly import transparent gifs as i could in cs5. I heard that you have to make a png sequence from fireworks but i dont want to go through all of that. I would appreciate if someonecan tell me how to easily import transparent animated gifs into after effects cc as you could in sc5

You can't and that is that. This stuff used Quicktime components and simply too much has changed. You need to work with image sequences exported from Photoshop or whatever other program based on your GIF.
