Make my vector scaleable in After Effects CC 2014 - Continuously Rasterize Button?

Side Note: I'm a beginner, so please go easy on me. This includes explaining things to me like I've never touched the program before.
Hello! I was watching this tutorial here that displayed how to make a .ai file in After Effects not get pixelated when scaled up. In order to do this however, they press this button here (I'm referring to the button that the mouse is hovering over):
That button is not in CC 2014, so I'm not sure how to continue. Could someone help me out?
I'm happy to explain more if I wasn't clear, thanks!

Wow, I feel embarrassingly stupid now. Thanks anyway!

  • How to make a blimp in Adobe After Effects?

    I'm making a video with a blimp in it soon, is it possible to make a blimp in Adobe After Effects? If you can't could you please name some free softwares that could make a blimp? Thanks so much if you can (A Moving Blimp Shown from bottom)

    This completely depends on your shot. You could simply cut out a shot of a blimp using Photoshop and animate that moving across the screen, or you could do camera projection in a 3D app and model a 3D blimp. Blender is a very powerful open source (free) 3D program that I use all the time. It will take you a couple of weeks to learn enough to set up the kind of a scene I just described.
    It sounds like you're just starting out so I'd go for the first solution. Find the shot of the blimp first, then, based on the angle of the shot, shoot the shot you want to use as the background plate.
    Blimp, cut out in Photoshop, layered with background plate =
    Notice how the light is coming fromthe same direction and has about the same quality.

  • Bridge CC no compatible with the new After Effects CC 2014 ?

    Hi, I'm updating the Adobe suite (CC 2014) .but After Effects CC 2014 no longer works with the old Bridge CC (there is no update of Bridge). Since "browse presets" in After Effects when choosing a preset (dissolves etc) there is an error message:
    "After Effects error: can not import file" Entries lum.-marq.calque.ffx "unsupportedfiletype or extension (0 :: 1). With all presets.
    I tried on other computers with other adobe updated it makes such licenses except with the old version of adobe after effects (after CC effects) I tried too to change language of Bridge and After effects (beharps this is a langage compatibility problem) but the problem is the same.
    So I think the new version after effects CC 2014 is not compatible with the presets adobe bridge CC ??
    How can I do? I have to go through the old version of after to apply a preset Bridge? I can not even download it in cloud creativ ... there is only the new version of after effects...

  • After Effects CC 2014 - Rendering / saving project file to CS6

    Hello all,
    I'm writing here to try to understand the st**** decision to exclude mp4 and mpeg from the render possibilities from After Effects CC 2014. I would gladly go back to CS6 but as of now I have more than 40 hours of edited video project in CC 2014, which of course cannot save project files to CS6, which is another brilliant move by somebody in Adobe that has the title position of "the dude for giving ideas to p*** people off". Now the problem is this, if I choose to export just a single clip from my composition of course I cannot export it to a container and codec of my choosing since it cannot be exported to Media Encoder, and has to be done in After Effects or I have to make a composition for each and every file, in order to export it to to the Media Encoder.
    Now I ask you good people any way to move my projects back to CS6, remove this unusable piece of software and be over with it, I simply don't have the time to be toying around with Adobe's new found glory for Apple and exporting stuff to QuickTime, taking 3 times longer than mpeg. Tried with OpenSeasame and by just exporting an XML file but none work so if there is any other way please let me know.
    Good thing I only got 1 month and didn't pay for the whole year...
    Cheers,
    shorto

    Did you use any of the new features in either AE CC (the original one) or CC 2014?  If yes, you're kinda stuck.
    If no, you'd have to engage in a two-step process: backsave the AE CC 2014 project to AE CC, then open the project in AE CC and backsave to CS6.

  • After effects CC 2014 transparency properties of pre comps, collapse transformation on, no longer keyframeable???!!!

    Hey there,
    lately I'm using After effects CC 2014. Now I had to make the experience, after optimizing (collapse transformation) the pre comp, the global property transparency is no longer working.
    I can make keyframes but the pre comp acts like my easy ease keyframes are hold keyframes. Btw if the collapse transformation button is unchecked it works fine but than i don't have the optimization features. It's a catch 22. Sure, I can go into my pre comp and set the keyframes there, but this is pretty annoying and seriously not the way to work.
    So is that a bug in CC 2014?
    Help is needed.

    Gwen

    Layer styles render in a different order so lots of things can get fouled up with you use them. They are still usable in complex situations, you just have to apply them in the right place in your composite. I've never found a situation where I needed a Layer Style and another effect that I have not been able to work around the limitation.
    There are other things that change the render order. After Effects only does one thing at a time. The basic render order is listed right in the timeline view. Here's a sample.
    Basic effect with Layer Style turned off:
    First Mask 1 is applied to the layer, then Mask 2 is subtracted creating the hole
    Then Fast Blur is applied, then Bevil Edges to create the button with the soft edges
    Then the Transform controls take over and the anchor point is evaluated, the position reported, then the scale, then the rotation, and finally the opacity
    Then the Layer Style is applied.
    In my button design I want to apply a stroke to the button so that I looks like this but with the soft base and a stroke on the inside hole:
    But, as you can see I had to turn off the Fast Blur to get the stroke to work because the Layer Style Stroke is calculated from the alpha channel, which fast blur has made 76 pixels wide so with Fast Blur on I get this:
    The solution to my problem is to pre-compose and add the layer style to the pre-comp, then use an adjustment layer with masks for the fast blur to get what I wanted in the first place:
    So here's what AE is doing with the final project.
    The background layer is rendered
    The pre comp is added to the mix
    Inside the pre-comp the layer is rendered
    Mask 1 is added to give rounded corners
    Mask 2 is subtracted to punch the hole
    Layer styles are applied to add the stroke
    Back in the main comp the pre-comp is rendered
    Bevel Edges is applied to the pre-comp using the alpha chanel
    Now the adjustment layer is added to the mix
    Mask 1 is added and this limits the area in the underlying layers where effects applied to the adjustment layer will  work
    Mask 2 is subtracted from the adjustment layer poking a hole in the effects
    The fast Blur is added blurring only the bottom edge of the button
    There you have it. An in depth tutorial on the rendering order in AE and how to use nesting and pre-comps to reorder effects to get what you want.

  • After Effects CC (2014) MacPro Performance??

    I just installed the new After Effects CC (2014) on my 2013 MP with 2 D700s.  I am not noticing any significant difference from the previous version of AE.  GPUs are still showing as 2GB of VRAM (see below).  I dropped in a 5K (5120x2700) R3D clip into a 1080p comp, scaled to width and tried to move the playhead, let alone play and it is extremely sluggish (media is on a G-Raid).  Even at "low" debayer and 1/4 res I seem to max out at 20fps without ram previewing.  Mercury Transmit is off, both "Viewer Quality" options are set to "Faster".  Even with a 1080p ProResHQ file I can't get realtime playback without ram previewing.
    What I can do to fix this?

    Tim,
    Thank you for the replies.
    Is this to say that to simply play a quicktime video file (no effects or adjustments made) in After Effects the expected behaviour is that it must be RAM previewed?
    This is how After Effects currently works. It hasn't changed in many years. You can initiate playback without RAM Preview (press spacebar), but the playback speed will depend on how fast the frames can be cached to memory for playback, and will very likely not be real-time except for the simplest of comps.
    This is exactly the change that I am looking for.  In my opinion, "the simplest of comps" would be things like "a comp with a QT file and no effects/adjustments", "an Illustrator file moving in the example of a credit roll".  Hopefully this will all be improved upon in future releases.  I am looking forward to seeing them.
    As per the After Effects blog post a few months ago about future improvements all that I (and I am confident that the majority of users will agree) would like to see is for After Effects to be significantly faster (think the improvement to the "search" feature in Premiere).
    We also want to make After Effects faster. As I mentioned, we are currently focused on performance-related improvements to After Effects. The blog post you referenced was written while we were in the middle of developing the After Effects CC 2014 (13.0) release, and beginning to think about our next release. A side note here: performance in After Effects includes both rendering performance and interactive performance; that is, how fast After Effects allows you to work.
    I will anxiously await these updates.  As a note: I feel that interactive performance is a higher priority than rendering performance.
    During the CC2014 release presentation on video there were multiple references to "not waiting for renders", except this is exactly what you have to do when working in After Effects.
    Can you be more specific about what context you saw this in? Can you provide a link? "Not waiting for renders" is a fairly generic statement, so context is important. It may have been used in connection with the new text templates feature in After Effects CC 2014, which allows faster workflows between Premiere Pro and After Effects, or with Dynamic Link in general. Otherwise, I need to know how that phrase was used in order to understand your perception of it.
    Yes, the context was always in relation to either dynamic linking with PPro, or Direct linking betweens PPro and SpeedGrade.  However, the overall impression I got was that Adobe's goal with the video applications was to improve the interactive performance so that users can focus more on being creative and less on waiting for the software.
    Could you please also address the issue of After Effects still recognizing the MacPro GPUs as having 2GB of memory instead of 12GB?
    We have a bug open on this and are investigating.
    Thank you.  I was really hoping that the 2014 release would fix this, but understand that it is likely quite complicated and there are many other improvements/bug fixes that the team is working on.  Are there any updates on when this expected?  Is this effecting performance or just simply the readout in After Effects' GPU information.
    I greatly appreciate you taking the time to address all of these concerns and am looking forward to the continued updates to the entire CC video suite.

  • After Effects CC 2014 Crashing with Magic Bullet Looks on Mac

    Hi,
    I recently installed the upgrade to the latest After Effects CC 2014 v13.0 and found the Magic Bullet Looks now causes After Effects to crash. I'm using MBL v2.5.2
    I opened the Activity Monitor and noticed that whenever the crash occurs the Adobe QT32 Server is in a state of (Not Responding)
    On a clip I can apply the MBL plugin with no problems and even if I am copying a previously set up version from a previous clip, it applies and renders without trouble. I can click "Edit" on the plugin controls, open up the MBL control window and make all the adjustments I need without any trouble. The issue is when I then click either "Finished" or "Cancel" to go back to After Effects. The program freezes and I get the spinning wheel of death for about ten seconds and the the whole thing, MBL and AE shut down.
    I am running:
    MacBook Pro
    OS 10.9.4
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i72.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
    Cuda  6.0.54
    The footage is Apple Quicktime ProRes HQ
    I have Quicktime v10.3 installed and Quicktime Pro v7.6.6
    I am at a loss as of how to fix or even work around this. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    There was a bug in MBL on Premiere CC 2014 that was causing crashing and lockups. Red Giant released an update quite quickly that so far seems to have fixed it for me. I know you're talking about AE but maybe there's some common code that was also fixed? As Rick says, have you checked the latest ver of MBL?

  • After Effects CC 2014 - removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters - WHY !?

    While reading the features of AfterEffects CC2014, I noticed the following:
    "removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters from After Effects"
    THAT IS IS REDICULOUS!!
    NO FLV !?!?
    WHAT DO YOU EXPECT USERS TO IMPORT INTO FLASH ??
    IF no FLV export is available under After Effects CC 2014, there is NO WAY to EMBED an flv into flash !! (Linking is NOT always what is wanted!!)
    NO H264 !?!?!
    HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY ?!!?!?
    YOU BREAK WORKFLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    THAT IS REDICULOUS!!!
    Any chance of restoring such features so that it makes updating to it worthwhile ?

    To date I've primarily been a Photoshop user and have dealt with years of mystifying UX and workflow changes, features that are useless to me added, and critical ones taken away (I'm looking at you Bridge, you worthless piece of garbage).  Then, to add insult to injury, Adobe forum mods telling me I'm doing it wrong and should be jumping through more hoops to achieve the same results. Now, with AE becoming a bigger part of my work, I am sad to find, that the same culture of disconnected arrogance and myopia prevails on the AE dev team.
    "Oh um user, you really want to be going through AME, because um technically speaking there have been many problems with the H.264 and MPEG-2 exporters in After Effects"
    Oh really? Tell me more about my job. Tell me about my experiences exporting these formats directly from AE. Tell me how my client views my content, is it on a Mac, or a PC? Maybe it's on his phone, or her iPad. What kind of phone is it though? Tell me at what point in my process it's ideal to render. Tell me about other tasks I'm performing. Tell me about the resolution and the bit-rate my files should play at. Tell me the final application I will be using the footage. Probably broadcast right? Or is it web? Or is it PowerPoint? Wait, what if there is no final output? What if it's just pre-vis for some other application?
    Tell me how to win over my clients; what's the correct method of presentation to engage them most impactfully? Tell me about how much time I have to render massive video files. Is it more time efficient due to the nature of my composite to render once because my file is super shallow and will render quickly or is it more efficient to render twice because my file is extremely complex with hundreds of layers?
    That the deprecated formats were hidden away in the preferences menu is dumb and annoying. That this same preference would then be removed is despicable and petty and is further confirmation that Adobe has contempt for me as a user.

  • After Effects CC 2014,0 H264 Media export

    Windows 8.1 (absolutely nothing to do with the problem)
    Quicktime version 7,7,5 (absolutely nothing to do with the problem)
    After Effects CC 2014.0
    Unable to export media with h264 codec of the same quality as in After Effects CS6,
    Media Encoder CC 2014.0 - h264 - worse quality, twice the size of the file
    Quicktime - h264 - much lower quality, much larger - about 6x - unusable
    Thank you for advice on how to make After Effects reusable software.
    Without quality media export this program unusable.

    Thank you I learned that it is dependent on the setting. After twenty years of working with AE, it is refreshing to me. I recommend you try the settings before you answer and you will see that the original h264 codec, which was removed from After Effects, had at the same file size much higher quality. Full HD 50p has MediaCoder twice the size of a qucktime h264 is unusable. If you say that the same results can edit the settings, please publish here the settings for full HD 50p. (for sure 50 frames per second 1920x1080 px) After the recent modifications indeed degraded to a tool for Youtube, but before that it was a professional tool for video post-production. Please, therefore the publication of setting the same quality as it was before deleting AE h264 codec.

  • Workaround for slow performance and poor resolution with RED R3D files in After Effects CC 2014 (13.0)

    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2014/06/red-r3d-problems-after-effects-cc-2014-13-0.ht ml
    The After Effects team are investigating a bug in After Effects CC 2104 (13.0) where RED (.R3D) files are very slow and the image resolution is poor, about 1/8 sampling.
    The following workaround has been reported to solve the problems in some cases:
    Save the project.
    Choose Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache.
    Please post in this thread about whether or not this workaround helped you.

    Intentionally cross-linking threads: this issue was first reported in this thread, which has an ongoing discussion:

  • Optical Flares in After Effects CC 2014

    Hello,
    I'm new to After Effects and Video Copilot video making. I downloaded the Video Copilot's Optical Flares Effect plug-in for Adobe After Effects CC 2014 Release from it's website and now I've three items in the compressed zip file:
    1. OpticalFlares Presets
    2. Optical Flares Textures
    3. OpticalFlares
    From what I've come to know about the installation process of Optical Flares as shown by Mr. Andrew Krammer in it's website, I drag-dropped the folder containing all these items. After this when I open After Effects CC 2014 Release I make a New Composition> Layer> Solid. Then I go to the Effects options and can't see Video Copilot as an effect in it. Why is it so? Does the 2014 Release doesn't support it or should I go back to AE's previous versions like CC (12.0) or CS6?
    Help me,
    Kvaibhav01.

    If you are having a problem with a VideoCopilot plugin, I suggest contacting their support team.

  • Setting AEP Documents to Open by Default with Adobe After Effects CC NOT Adobe After Effect CC 2014 on a Mac

    I have installed some of the CC 2014 products for testing. Until the rest my department moves from CC to CC 2014 I need to open and create new projects in CC as the CC 2014 AEP's won't open in other versions.
    The issue is when I try to change the file association, in the Get Info inspector, from "Adobe After Effects CC.app" to "Adobe After Effects CC 2014.app" and hit "Change All" it always reverts back to CC 2014. I have tried this as an administrator and even when logged in as administrator. It is like Creative Cloud overrides it. You can do one at a time but you cannot set the default.
    I would like to "roll back" my file associations for AE and PS to CC but I don't want to uninstall the 2014 versions if possible as I have already install many plug-ins, license keys, scripts, etc. and everything is working fine within the apps. Is it possible?
    Thanks for any help.

    That makes no sense at all. CC 2014 is available in the Creative Cloud App. Just download it. The system requirements for both are the same. IF CC runs, CC 2014 will.

  • After Effects CC 2014 - Crash on launch

    At first - I've read all topics with that problem , and it doesn't work correctly.
    I bought After Effects as Single Application yesterday. And I'm very sad, because of this problem. Can anyone help me?
    I've tried this - CC Applications crash immediately after launch . It did not make any difference.
    I can see the work space of After Effects at start for a slit second before crash. And then my window are makins smaller with crash. But it doesn't save any crash logs. I tried to fix it.
    I've reinstalled program something about 5-6 times. I used Cleaner Tool too...
    If I opened the topic in wrong way - sorry. I'm new here. Please, if u can - help me !
    Greets.

    Okay, sorry and thanks for the reply.
    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.
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
    Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number and sizes of connected monitors, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected.
    What versions of drivers for your graphics hardware do you have installed (including CUDA driver and driver for display adapter)?
    Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)?
    What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
    Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2".
    What other software are you running?
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects?
    Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both?
    Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?
    Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer?
    If the problem is with output, give your exact output settings (both render setting and output module settings). Screenshots help.
    After Effects CC 2014 (13.2 or 13.0)
    I've instaled recent updates
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    I'm not getting any error messages
    It isn't worked before.
    Ram = 8GB

  • Custom Pixel Aspect Ratio (After Effects CC 2014)

    Hi All,
    How do you create a custom Pixel Aspect Ratio for After Effects CC 2014. I need a PAR of 3.3, as it would help me solve a technical problem i've been having with projection mapping.
    I've tried editing the Interpretation Rules.txt file which was hidden within the Users\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\13.1 Folder. To remove the last # so i can at least see that I can set up a custom PAR.
    But it doesn't appear in the drop down menu when creating a comp, or interpreting footage.
    I've also made the same change to the Interpretation Rules.txt file in the Premiere PRO CC 2014\Plug-ins\en_US\ folder.
    And I've restarted my PC after changes just incase Media Core wasn't updating itself properly.
    I can see the Custom PAR as an export option out of Media Encoder. But thats not what i need. I need to be able to correct a render which had a PAR of 3.3 without losing pixel information, much like an Anamorphic workflow.
    Anyway, Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Evan

    Hi Rick,
    You're right, it's no known PAR... completely arbitrary and custom to this particular job. I'll run you through my process.
    I have a projection surface (a basketball court) Which needs to have content designed onto it which is viewable from one perspective point (camera 1) in the stadium. The problem is that Camera 1's viewing angle to the court is quite shallow.
    This is what Camera 1 sees:
    I will be generating like this for the surface so that it looks like a deep 3d surface from "camera 1"
    Now, the problem is that when I perspective correct the renders to fit what the projector will be projecting from straight down. There isn't enough pixel information for the height of the image. Meaning the pixels will smear.
    This is the image that would be projected from a top mounted projector to achieve the 3d effect from the image above, you can see the loss of information in the the height pixels.
    My solution for getting more information into the height is to render out of our 3d packages with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 3.3. This was the sweet spot I found to get enough pixel information to match the pixel output of the projectors.
    The resulting render looks like this (note, the angle of the camera hasn't changed)
    As you can see, there is more height detail now, which will mean that that last row of pixels will be remain fairly sharp.
    So, at this point, I can render from my 3d applications, and conform to the projector dimensions, with very little information loss in the height of the projected image, and without compromising my 3d persepctive.
    I'm using the plugin "Camera Mapper" to project this render onto a plane which gets me the full frame of the projector at the right resolution, 4608 x 2304
    The tricky part how to composite elements into the scene in an intuitive way.
    If i want a horse to look like its jumping through the scene from "camera 1", like this:
    Then in the that contains all the information, It will look like this:
    Now that's all well and good, but it'll be harder to create realistic looking effects from this view, because they'll all need to be stretched.
    I'd like to retain all the image information and just view the comp as though it's squished down.
    I imagine this could be done easily by changing the comp settings to a PAR of 3.3.
    That way, all the pixel information remains, but i can design in a realistically proportioned composition.
    I hope that gets you up to speed on my issue, and my request for a solution.
    So, in summary. I'll I'm really looking for is a way to customise the PAR options so that I have a custom available that I can apply to this, and only this scene.
    Does this makes sense?
    Cheers,
    Evan
