Is this done with after effects?

Hi, guys,
I'm totaly new to AE, so please keep that in mind. I've found this great flash page, where they used AE for transitions between scenes, scenes were made in Photoshop and the car rendering in maya. What I want to know is: if you click on the link on the right side after the intro movie is played, the picture showes (rocks in the background and the car infront). And that picture is constructed from little particles. Is this done in AE?
If so, can you just give me a direction where to star looking?
the link is http://www.lexus-gs.ru/.
Thx for your help.
Kind regards,
Uros

Looks like a still image cut up into smaller bits on separate layers in Photoshop. Save as PSD and import into AE as a "Composition - Cropped Layers" and animate the scaling of each layer with a bit of wobbling, either via manual keyframes or an expression (if you're new to AE I'd recommend creating the scale animation on one layer and then copy and paste those keyframes to all other layers and then just shift them in time a bit so not all layers animate at the same time.

Working with after effects in photoshop?

I want to edit some contents of the after effects of videos like clearning up skin or removing objects in photoshop from after effects - how would this get done? both ar cs5 and both ar 64bit

If you want to work on the frames of a movie in Photoshop, you have a few options. One is to render and export a composition from After Effects as an image sequence, and work on the frames as individual images in Photoshop. Another approach is tor ender and export the composition as a QuickTime movie and then import tha into Photoshop; this requires Photoshop Extended.
These options are covered in a bit more detail in "Working with After Effects and Photoshop".

PP CS6 to AE CC 2014 (Replace with After Effects Composition)?

Hey guys, been a CS6 user for a little while now and don't require the complete CC subscription but really like working with AE. So I subscribed to Single App membership CC AE 2014. I launch PP CS6 chop some clips and send them to AE via Replace with After Effects Composition and in turn this dialog pops up stating "The importer reported a generic error" and them are the brakes. I uninstalled AE CS6 because when replacing a clip with a AE Comp AE CS6 launches. Are these two programmes not talking to each other? Like crippled.

Hey thanks cc_merchant, that doesn't come as a surprise to me, I guess I'm just a little disappointed by this on two levels, one this not having been mentioned or it is mentioned but well hidden and secondly that it's purposely crippled. That's business.

Updated document about QuickTime errors with After Effects (re: H.264 and hyperthreading)

I just updated "troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects CS5, CS5.5, and CS6" with information about hyperthreading and Apple's H.264 encoder.
The gist is that Apple's H.264 exporter component for QuickTime fails when the computer has a large number of CPUs.

No, this applies to any QuickTime H.264 export. You can export H.264 in a QuickTime .mov wrapper out of AME, too, and it will have this problem.
The various H.264 encoding presets (for YouTube, Blu-ray, Vimeo, iPad, etc.) don't use the H.264 QuickTime component, so this isn't relevant to them.
This problem is just relevant to choosing Apple's H.264 as the video codec when choosing QuickTime as a format. This applies to all software that uses QuickTime, by the way, not just Adobe software.

Help with After Effects

I just upgraded to PP CS4 to CS5 Premium with After Effects and Photoshop. I'm trying hard to figure things out but I'm unfamiliar with these programs and have no idea where to begin to learn. I've tried watching various tutorials, but they skip over basics, and unfortunately, that's what I need. I
Can anyone recommend a really good book or video or something to get me started? I know there's so much to learn and I'm so eager to learn it all. However, I don't even know how to get the footage from CS5 to After Effects.
One more question - I'm working on a video right now in CS5. The girl in the video has rosacea and I want to take the red out of her face. Is this possible in After Effects? If so, can someone please tell me how to go about doing it - or suggest a tutorial that deals with such an issue?
Thank you so much,
Jules

> Do you have any idea which tool in after effects I would use, and how,

process I would so appreciate it.
You should ask your After Effects questions on the After Effects forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/aftereffects_general_discussion
Here are two video tutorials that show different ways to selectively apply an effect to a specific area:

http://www.peachpit.com/podcasts/episode.aspx?e=8822f9a1-93c5-4a00-8697-a54b653c7aaf
But you should really begin at the beginning and learnt he basics of After Effects first.

How to batch convert with After Effects CS3

I sure hope this isn't a super silly question!
I have never used After Effects as it came with my Adobe Master Suite and it's quite duanting to learn all of those programs at once. I'm trying to figure out how to convert several MPEG files to AVI using a batch convert process. It would seem to me that would be a pretty simple process and I've read in several locations that it can't be done with Premiere Pro any more. They also say it can be done in After Effects but they don't explain how.
I'm pretty new to video editing so layman's terms would be much appreciated. I'm running After Effects CS3 on Windows XP.

It can be done, but After Effects is far from being a specialized encoding application. A bit like using a ten ton truck to commute
In CS4, threre is such an specialized app. It's called Adobe Media Encoder, and it can be used in standalone mode or invoked from within Premiere Pro or AE.
Remember, After Effects is a content creation tool that offers multiple ways to render the content you create. But it's not an utility to convert or encode video formats.
If you really want to do this in AE, this could be a way:
Import all your MPEG files in the Project Panel.
Select them all (drag with your mouse or make Project panel active, then Control+A on Win or Command+A on Mac).
Drag them all to the New Comp button at the bottom of the project panel.
You will get a dialog which offers to place all these files in a single After Effects Composition, or create a separate Composition for each. Select the latter.
In the Project panel, select the resulting compositions and go to Composition > Add to Render Queue. Set each item to AVI format with your codec of choice.
Of course, there are a million variables that couldn't be discussed in a single post or thread.
As you can see, you are performing a lot of steps because After Effects is designed to render video once you have created content in the form of After Effects Compositions. In that context, these steps would not be "a lot" - you arrive there quite naturally.
I suggest you take a look at the After Effects Help chapter on Rendering and exporting

"Replace with after effects composition" on Premiere gives me a empty AE project...

I'm selecting and right clicking footage from my Premiere timeline, clicking "Replace with after effects composition", and getting a black, empty screen on After Effects.. There is no footage under Project in AE, and the footage I selected on Premiere also became black. .
I'm using the CS5 version of both programs, and video clips from my 7D... What could be wrong?

I am also having this problem. It worked before but now it isn't I did change to Windows 8 recently but I don't know why that would cause it. Here are some pictures to show
Premiere Pro CC and AE CC both updated today, both restared today. You can see the footage is there and PP is reading it. It is an MPEG2 file. easy.
Right Click on replace with after effect comp
AE opens up and I create a new project
Comp is blank. No footage. Lenght is correct though.
If I tab back to Premiere the footage is gone and shows only black.
Please help.

Issues with replacing a clip in premiere with After Effects composition

So basically, i want to track a title to a piece of footage, so i've made my ins and outs and my footage is placed on my timeline in premiere with my title over top. Now I select the two pieces in premiere (the title and the clip) and I hit replace with after effects composition, and it ADOBE does it's thing etc.
but now in my AE project window I have two copies of my title file and two copies of my mp4 clip.
two of them are pre loaded into my timeline and the appropriate ins/outs which is perfect but I can't seem to do anything like tracking to them,
in my project window AE is referring to the ones that show up in the timeline as "compositions" while the extra files that aren't in the timeline are "mp4" and "psd" (the actual file types)
now. if i just delete the two "compositions" that are masquerading as files in my timeline and drag down my mp4 / psd then my tracking becomes available and all is wonderful
EXCEPT
my in's and out's from premiere aren't there and I have to go about all of that all over again and it's very annoying
any ideas?

Mat,
I'm sure you've figured it out.
I don't know how you got two separate source clips - you should have a sequence (comp) and the footage in the project window (bin window) for each In your comp, the tracking can be done by selecting the layer in that comp.
And - you've probably already figured it out that you needed those comps so they could dynamically link back to PremierePro easily.
If you have any Ae/Pr questions - I'm going to try to be in this forum more. I love this stuff.

Problem with After Effects crashing machine when rendering

Ive been having a repeated problem with after effects crashing when I try to render a sequence.
The render halts then first After Effects becomes unresponsive then every other applications follows and I have to hard-restart my machine.
Can anyone help me find out how to stop this happening?

i - Illl try to answer these bellow...
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number---e.g., After Effects CC (12.2.1) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates" or "After Effects CC"; give the specific version number.
Ive just updated it - I have After Effects CC 13.2.0.49
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Just don'e this - not tried to render since
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Late Mac operating system Yosamete 10.10.1 (14B25)
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
There is no error message
What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Performing a render, the render gets partially through but stops at different parts and hangs, then the computer hangs and I have to hard reset.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
I had a similar problem two days ago, i thought it could be a problem with some animated png sequences and a "matte feather" effect so i replaced the sequences with non animated versions and it seemed to fix the problem.

I can't change shortcuts editing the shortcut file in preferences (mac) with After Effects CC. I Edi

I can't change shortcuts editing the shortcut file in preferences (mac) with After Effects CC. I Edit the file, but when i open AE, it still the old same keys.
How to have this working? And why until now, we don't have a GUI for shortcuts?
I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard, and need to change the preview keys to a suitable ones, because this keyboard don't have the num pad.
Until CS6, i was using ? and Shift+?, in the place of some kind of Zoom.
But this time, i edit the file, in a sort of way i tried, and non of then change at all.
WE NEED A GUI in AE Preferences to CHANGE THE SHORTCUTS!
Thank You!

The best way to add a +1 would be for everyone to file a feature request. Those are officially tracked by Adobe (unlike this user-to-user forum) and the more people that ask for something, the more likely it is to be implemented.

How to undo the "replace with after effects composition" command?

Hi,
I don't know if there is a better way, but i make my color corection in after effects with Color Finesse and i use this command: right click on clip and "replace with after effects composition" - that a good way but, the problem is when i wanna to undo this and to bring back my old clip from an AE Composition.
this is how my clip looks beforee
and after
it works fi i use "undo" command, but after i save the project, and restart premiere, that command is gone.
my question: what can I do to bring back my old video?
thanks.

You can try to go to one of the autosave versions and see if you can bring it back that way (if the history is cleared)...
Seems a little extreme
If you still have the original source audio in your sequence, as your example shows, park the CTI at the beginning of clip instance and target just the audio track (i.e. deselect the video track). Hit the M key to match frame the original master clip, hit I to mark an in point, and then hold down the Alt key and drag the Video Only button from the Source Monitor to the AE comp item. The AE comp will be replaced with the original video and linked to the audio.
The upshot of all this is that, unless you make a duplicate before using the "Replace" command or undo immediately after doing so, there is no direct way to get back to the original footage.

PowerPC G5 crashing with After Effects CS3

I have been having "catastrophic" crashes, that is a crash in Mac OSX where the screen goes dark and I have to hold the power key to reset the system when using After Effects CS3 on my PowerPC G5. Also if I am listening to music in iTunes it just goes into a looping drone, (not a nice sound I can tell you).
I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. I have been simply editing text in an AE comp and bang the system hangs. This only seems to happen when I am using After Effects. I have Gridiron Nucleo installed but I don't have it switched on, since it hasn't been playing too well. I also have a Blackmagic card and an internal raid system.
I am running the latest version of Tiger on the G5 and have all software up to date. I might have to upgrade to Leopard as I just don't trust it anymore. This has happened enough times for me to now be totally on edge when I am using the system with After Effects CS3. I have a Mac Pro and this just works beautifully when running AE CS3
Any thoughts would be welcome
all the best
richard

Actually it has happened before and I don't think I was editing text. So I am not entirely sure that was the culprit. Put it this way I can run Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, even After Effects 7 without these problems. However I have started to steer clear of the machine and use the Intel Mac solely as I don't really have time for crashes if you know what I mean. Also it is slow in comparison which isn't surprising but it really seems like treacle compared to the quad core mac.

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards

Premiere Pro cc 2014 do not import After Effects composition. Inside Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not possible call back After Effects, is not possible to work with After Effects. Thank you

Premiere Pro cc 2014 do not import After Effects composition. Inside Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not possible call back After Effects, is not possible to work with After Effects. Thank you

You haven't given us much to go on here. What exactly are you doing and what exactly happens when you try? Which specific version of each program are you using? (Go to Help>About...)
On a side note, a simple, brief thread title is all that's needed. Something like "After Effects Issue" would be fine. You don't need the full question there.

Best laptop for working with after effects

I need a laptop for work with adobe after effects and some others. Anyway I need laptop wich will not cost more than 1400€ and which will have inside intel core i7, 4 GB of memory or more and Nividia graphic card. Somthing more pls dont say the apple is the best beacuse i dont like it very much.
Thanks.

4GB is a rather small amount of RAM for working with After Effects. If you can get a computer with more RAM, I recommend doing so.
For After Effects CS5, the graphics card (GPU) doesn't matter as much as RAM and CPUs, so focus on RAM and CPUs first.
In general, a laptop is not going to give you the same performance as a desktop computer of the same price. If you need a laptop, fine; but don't be surprised when performance isn't as good as you might like.
