Maintaining Photoshop aspect ratios in After Effects

Hi there,
I'm new to  adobe programs...
I'm having a problem when i try to import a 720 x 540 photoshop image into After Effect at the same ratio. After establishing the same settings, my image in AE is slightly cut off at the sides (along the width), as if pillarboxed just barely. There's an outline around the image that seems like it maybe be closer to the 720 X 540 aspect ration, but i don't know how to make the image fill it up.
Any suggestions?

I your AE comp is 720 X 540 square pixels and your Photoshop file is 720 X 540 square pixels then the frame sizes match. If your AE comp is NOT square pixels or your Photoshop file was set to a non square pixel aspect ratio then AE will make the adjustments and you will see some distortion.
You need to learn about pixel aspect ratios and you need to make sure that the source footage is properly interpreted. 720 X 540 is the old standard for NTSC 4:3 square pixels and it will fit perfectly in a 720 X 486 rectangular pixel composition if you're using a pre CS version of AE. The new standard for NTSC square pixels with a 4:3 picture ratio is 720 X 534. This will translate perfectly into a 720 X 486 frame. Unfortunately DV video and most DVD formats are limited to 720 X 480 so 6 scan lines are lost. The playback device strips them off anyway so there not really missed.
To make your life easier just always plan on using the standard presets for your compositions and make all of your artwork square pixels. AE will properly interpret any DV footage you may import and will maintain a completely distortion free workflow. You can then use the Adobe Media encoder to render your deliverable DV or DVD product.
I hope this clears things up a bit. Pixel aspect ratios confuse everyone at first.

    Hello,
    So I am installing all the CC versions of the software and all but Photoshop, Bridge, After Effects, and Flash installed without a hitch. On those 4 programs I get the same error code: 34. I am able to install the CS6 variants of them without any problem and run it. Here is the error code:
    Exit Code: 34
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:

    I have been unable to fix this on my own and with what I've found online. I'll list what I have done so far to try to fix this issue. I have tried to use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool but the issue is since PS, BR, AE, and FL won't install I can't clean them to try a fresh install. I tried installing the CS6 versions to see if it would dowload the 'Camera Profiles Installer_8.1".
    Any help on fixing this ASAP would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • 720x480 DV FCP Quicktime aspect shift in After Effects

    It's probably something simple, but I've not yet managed to figure it out.
    When I export a 720x480 DV/DVCpro NTSC quicktime movie from FCP 4.5 using either the export quicktime movie and export quicktime conversion commands and then import that file into After Effects 6.5 Professional and place it in a 720x480 DV NTSC composition, the video bleeds off the edge of the composition's viewer window on both the left and right sides. I am able to resize the video manually by changing the scale to 99 percent horizontally and leaving it at 100 percent vertically, but there is a noticable loss in quality, especially when I take the effected clip back into FCP. I can open the same exported clip in FCP without any aspect ratio problems or degredation of quality.
    I don't ever remember having this problem before and I can't say for sure exactly when it started (maybe a month ago or so). I've tried everything that comes to mind including different combinations of pixel aspect ratios, frame sizes, etc., but haven't had any luck. Besides, it's a simple DV NTSC to DV NTSC. This shouldn't be happening!
    I'm currently running the 6.5.0.97 build of AE and FCP 4.5 on OSX 10.3.9 with QuickTime 7.1.2 installed. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to maintain video aspect ratio when resizing

    I am making a 30 second dvd intro of a dance recital video. I created 12 short clips that will be cuts between them.  I do not want them to be full screen. I want to apply an effect that makes the clip have frayed edges and it is resized very small. I want to make them bigger so they arennearlynhalf screen.  When I click and drag it, nothing keeps the aspect ratio. I held down the shift key, which usually works in all other programs but it had no effect. I tried other keys like alt but it was a no go. How do I resize without warping the video?

    I have nothing on this computer aside from Adobe and a few other audio apps. This is a dual Xeon 6GB system. I work in IT and am MS certified. I do not think it is the system. I am using AE CS6. =A0Keyboard is set to its defaults. I do not touch the keyboard mappings. The effect brings the clip down to 10% or so. How should it be resized? SHift - click and drag works in all of my apps like Photoshop, so it isnt the kb or the system. Is that the way it is supposed to be done in AE? If you have AE, are you able to try this to see what I mean?

  • Photoshop CS6 PSDs into After Effects CS5.5

    Hi there,
    Our graphics department have recently upgrade Photoshop to CS6 version 13.0 x64. I am trying to open a .psd file they have created in After Effects CS5.5 version 10.5.1.2. However I get the following message:
    'After Effects error: could not open (.psd name) because it is not a valid Photoshop document. ( 51 :: 19 )'
    Is there any way they can save their photoshop files differently so that they will open or do I need to upgrade to After Effects CS6?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    (wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the photoshop forum - thought I would try here first though)

    I've never encountered such an issue, and switch between both versions regularly.  On the machine I'm working on right now I have CS6 Creative Cloud installed, but do most of my AE work in CS5 or 5.5 because the clients I'm working for haven't upgarded yet.  But all my PSD work is done in CS6. 
    Is there anything unusual in the file, ie 3D content?  As Mylenium says, PS 3D has changed and is no longer supported by AE.  Otherwise, are you moving between platforms, ie Windows to Mac?  Does the file have a valid PSD extension?

  • Aspect ratio off after saving

    I just installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my Mac (OS X). This is my first experience with the program. I edited a couple photos - red eye, cropping - and saved them. Now when I look at the edited photos in iPhoto, the aspect ratio is off. Any idea why this is?

    When you used crop you must have chosen a crop ratio in which you cropped your image. You can check more info on aspect ratio from Image->Resize->Image Size (it`s basically width/height or vice-a-versa depending on image orientation.
    You can also check at our help link http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/crop-resize-resample-photoshop-elements.html to know more here.

  • Aspect Ratio changes after the project was reopend

    hello everyone,
    I have a project with mov-files with apect ratio 1,0, I wanted to change them to 1,33, so I went to interpret footage and change it to 1,33. Then I synchronized the mov-files with audio and made merged clips (all in 1,33). After that I saved the project and open it again and then the original mov-files are back to 1,0, the merged clips are in 1,33, but with a 1,0 footage (so the clips have black bars left and right). Does someone know what could be the problem? Am I doing something wrong so the footage won`t stay in new aspect ratio?

    Did you check the box?: Re: Premiere Pro CC - interpreted footage reverts to original framerate

  • Clips lose pixel aspect ratio setting after relinking

    hi there,
    after reopening a project from a backup drive I had to relink all my media.
    no problem with that...
    but after relinking all aspect ratios were lost. files are 2048x1536 anamorph (manually) set to an aspect of 1.33 and then scaled down to 1920x1080.
    generally all settings were intact - the aspect ratio setting however was not. all clips had a square pixel setup after relinking.
    is this a bug?
    thanks!

  • JPG fine in Photoshop but error in After Effects: "The file format module could not parse the file (45::36)"

    I found a lot of discussion on this error in Photoshop but I'm getting it in After Effects.  I have a sequence of JPG images created by photoshop (output is RGB in sRGB color space) and it appears one of them is causing problems in AE.  There are several hundred images in the sequence, all created from PS, and only this one is causing problems.  I've re-created it several times in PS and the error persists.  I've also re-created several others and they're still fine.
    I've seen other comments that the issue is with incorrect file formats and CMYK color space.  I've confirmed that neither of those is my problem - the file is JPG straight out of PS in RGB.  Also, there are several hundred others that are just fine using the same process and "save as" properties...
    Any help?
    Thanks,

    Have you stripped its metadata in Bridge? Could well be that it contains botched info from the camera. PS carries this through until the bitter end. Alternatively save it with Save for Web choosing to remove metadata.

  • 3D Objekte aus Photoshop CC 2014 in After Effects CC 2014

    Hallo,
    ich hätte eine kurze Frage zum hin und her von 3D Objekten in CC 2014:
    Ich habe mir in Photoshop einen Planeten erstellt, 3D Kugel mit eigener Textur, alles easy. Den wollte ich nun wie gewohnt in After Effects importieren und animieren - und stelle dann mit Verwunderung fest, dass das nicht mehr so einfach geht. Neuerdings muss man scheinbar den Umweg über Cinema 4D Lite gehen - das lässt sich ja aber meines Wissens nur über After Effects starten. Hat jemand für ähnliche Sachen schnell nen Tipp oder ne kleine Anleitung, find im Netz bisher nur wenig dazu.
    Danke!

    Aus PS als OBJ oder was auch immer exportieren und in C4D importieren.

    I'm getting ready to upgrade from CS2 to CS5 and I'm not sure if I should pay extra to get the Extended version, or do not get the Extended version and buy After Effects instead.  I'm not familiar with the Extended but I don't want to buy it and then find out that After Effects (I'm not that familiar with it either) covers it and more.  Thanks in advance for any help from someone who is familiar with these products. 

    Hi. This forum is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop.  I'm moving your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum for specialized attention to your situation.

  • Photoshop Komplett langsam und After Effects gehen schon gar nicht!?

    Hallo liebe User, frohes Fest miteinander (:
    ich habe mir die 30 Tägige Testversion heruntergeladen und wollte mit voller Motivation nach dem Download mich einarbeiten. Doch bereits nach 0 Sekunden der erste Dämpfer.. AE funktioniert nicht "After Effects Fehler: Absturz bei der Verarbeitung. Zuletzt protokollierte Meldung: <3860> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code:3"
    Hm.. dann dachte ich mir, vielleicht funktioniert ja wenigstens Photosthop.. naja dies zumindest einigermaßen, doch selbst wenn ich nur mit Hilfe der Werkzeuge einen Kreis erstellen möchte, und diesen ausfüllen, dauert es gefühlte Jahrzehnte mit einem !!TOP!! PC der erst 1 Tag alt ist und bis dahin alles mit links gemacht hat. (Während Photoshop CPU gerade einmal 35Grad und eine Auslastung von 2%) Also liegt bei mir der Verdacht nahe, das ich irgendentwas irgendwo falsch gemacht habe.. ): aber wo?
    Danke euch schon einmal.
    Euch allen ein frohes Fest und schöne Feiertage! (:

    Du hast dir'n Sch... Rechner gekauft? Nix für ungut, aber die besagten Symptome sprechen doch recht eindeutig dafür, dass zumindest die Konfiguration komplett verkorkst ist - Grafikkartenprobleme, möglicherweise Probleme mit der Festplatte oder irgendeinem anderen Treiber. Mehr kann man dazu erstmal nicht sagen, weil du keinerlei vernünftige technischen informationen gegeben hast. Vielleicht ist ja das einzige, was an dem Rechner "top" ist, der exorbitante Stromverbrauch der Grafikkarte...

  • How to merge Photoshop frames animtaion with After Effects animation?

    hi,
    I've made a basic animation in Photoshop, which included just 2 frames.
    Now, I want to improve the animation through After Effects, and add more dynamic animation to the basic Photoshop animation.
    The thing is, I don't know how to do it.
    thanks... :-)

    You and Lutz might be talking about a
    different form of Photoshop animation.
    But if you're talking about
    Photoshop CS3 Extended Video layers, you can simply IMPORT the photoshop document as source material. You'll notice that there will be a duration value at the top of the project panel.
    After effects will automatically recognize the duration of the PSD document animation settings. If you need to trim the animation to your two frames, you might need to use time remapping and/or some clever editing.
    If it's only two frames (!), I would create them as separate layers in Photoshop, then import those two layers as a comp in After Effects. You'll have more flexibility, and more leverage over those elements.

  • 16:9 aspect ratio "squashed after import

    Hi all,
    I have some QuickTime movie files all of which are 16:9 widescreen. They appear correctly in QT and I've checked the properties in the "Show Movie Properties" window.
    However, when I import them into IM, the image is shrunk to 5:4 with black areas at the sides. IM Prefs are set up OK for Widescreen import & the auto letterboxing option is un-checked.
    The settings are correct as movies imported from camcorder retain the widescreen sizing.
    Can anyone please tell me why these QT files are shrunk after import?
    Thanks,
    TT

    If you have the ASPECT RATIO set correctly in Project Properties, then the other thing to check would be the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. Pick a clip in your project and open the Fit, Crop, KB tool. You can toggle between Fit and Crop. Fit will include the entire image, but add black bars as needed. Crop will force fit by cutting off the top and bottom if necessary. If your source footage has the same aspect ratio as your project, then Fit and Crop are the same.
