Is it possible to apply a stroke effect to a Photoshop image in After Effects?

Hello,
I've imported an image (a maze) from Photoshop into AE, and I want the image to appear as if it's being drawn in using the Stroke animation.  Is it possible to apply some kind of path along which the image can "fill in"--similar to how you can do this with text?  I didn't see a way to convert the image into a shape layer on which I could apply the Stroke effect, either.
Thanks to everyone who's been so helpful in these forums--I've gotten a lot of questions answered by y'all!
meredith

Followed everything you said up until using the solid as a track matte, where I got a little confused.
The effect worked more or less how I wanted when I set the starting value of the stroke at 100% and set track matte of my original image to Alpha Inverted.  When I did this, it gave the effect that the solid was disappearing to reveal the original image, if that makes any sense. 
Is there anyway to adjust the brush shape?  Right now it is a circle, is it possible to change it into a square?  The circle brush gives an awkward edge line as the lines of the image begin to appear with the stroke effect.
Thanks!

  • 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

    ...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:

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.
    - Josh

    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?

  • Bridge default opens images in After Effects.

    I am working in Bridge CS 5 (4.0.5.11) on a Mac Pro OS X 10.6.8. I am trying to open files (jpg, psd, bmps) in Photoshop CS 5 and the default is set to PS but Bridge is opening the images in After Effects. Where or how do I reset the default for files to open in Photoshop and  not After Effects? When I right-click on the image the default is set to PS but still opening in AE.
    Thanks for the help.

    I forgot to do so and had to recreate from scratch.
    Downside from resetting prefs is indeed you loose some settings, I always recreate them from scratch and have done so often in the past that I almost can dream this. Plus side is in this way you will learn more about Bridge and its prefs and will become more used to it. Maybe even discovering things you never new of
    I rely heavily on the folder panel and have only 4 main folders in the favorites that I also don't use very often. The folder panel gives you so much more overview and options, you should give it a try.
    Anyway, glad it worked out for you :-0

  • 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.

  • Help!  Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

    Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
    I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects.  I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow.  Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time.  I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
    If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!

  • How to apply an effect to just the subject in After Effects CS6

    Hello,
    I would like to add an effect to just a person in front of a green screen.  I've created an adjustment layer that produces the effect and placed it above the footage layer. How can I have the effect just apply to the actor and not carry over and fill the rest of the screen?
    thank you,
    Robert

    Don't be afraid of using multiple layers and duplicates of your keyed footage.
    Another thing you can do is apply the grid effect to a solid, pre-compose the solid, then use Set Matte to extract the alpha from your keyed layer. There are a million ways to do what you want to do but most of them can't be done without using multiple layers.

  • Can't install CS6 apps- photoshop, illustrator, indesign, after effects, flash and dreamweaver.

    Hi, thanks for any insight you can provide:
    my specs are as follows:
    Macbook pro mid 2012 13.3 inch
    OSX 10.8.4
    2.5 ghz Intel Core i5
    intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
    10 Gb 1333 mhz ddr3 ram
    500gb hdd/326 gb free
    I had CS6 master collection installed on my computer up until today. I removed it because Illustrator was having a strange issue where points would snap to random nothing and, align wouldn't work and changing the stroke of an object would cause it to move down and to the left each time the stroke changed.
    Illustrator issues aside, since uninstalling I can't get it to reinstall! It gives the following error:

    run cleaner tool, restart, resintall - same error
    in checking the error codes individually it looked as though I might have file system errors
    I rebooted with command+r and launched disk utilities from there (mac safe mode I guess?)
    verified mac hdd: verified OK
    ran repair anyway- verified OK again
    checked and, if possible, repaired each other volume- all OK
    rebooted, reinstalled, same error
    I am going to address the first error now- that the display requirements were not met, and remove my external diplay from my macbook and reinstall.
    Any help you might have though, I would be very grateful.

    oh, also, i've re-downloaded the installer and also gotten a third installer from a friend.
    removing the external display did not help

  • How can i Edit a Text layer of an After effects projects without opening it in After effects ?

    hello Adobe i'm a web developper student, and i want to build a website that can help to edit text layers of an animation made by After effects of Flash professional
    so how can i get or export an editable file of a video project that i can edit by coding ? i'm a beginner in multimedia.
    thanks

    That's outdated tech. XFL has been scrapped and just the same there has been no notable work on AE's XML project export. You need to use scripts like pt_OpenSesame to export the projects to an intermediary editable text file or create your own set of tools, including possibly expressions as well.
