Mobile content creation in After Effects

Hi
Recently Adobe Device Central was integrated with After Effects to create content for mobile devices.
Now that the tool has been eliminated in CS6, what is the new work-around? Is there a new tool or an integrated
output module to assist? Thanks in advance.

Check this out. it may b of help

  • How do you export to mobile (iPhone 5S) in After Effects CC CS6

    I can't figure out how to export a video animation I did in AE CC CS6 to be playable on iPhone 5S full screen and res. I can get it to play small and centered and when I try to fix this it goes all black. Please help!!

    First question, how are you getting the video to your iPhone? Second, is the video horizontal or vertical? Third, what happens when you rotate your screen. Video on my iPhone always fills the screen if the video orientation matches the orientation of the phone. IOW, if the phone is vertical and the phone is horizontal the video fills the width but there are bars top and bottom. If the video is vertical and the phone is horizontal the video has black bars on the left and right side.

  • 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".

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content only installed on one of two computers

    Hello,
    I installed Adobe Creative Suite CS4 MC on two systems. One system lists "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in Add/Remove Programs. This left me a bit baffled as to what this content is and why it only installed on one machine (i.e., assuming I did not erroneously selected or deselected it during the default install). I thought it would be reasonable to install the missing content on the second machine but I cannot find an installer listing "Adobe After Effects CS4 Third Party Content" in the CS4 default or custom installer.
    Could someone please tell me what this content is used for and how I can install it on the second machine?
    Thank you...

    > It should by no means be shown separately in the install database
    That's not true for one case.
    If you install After Effects in trial mode, the third party content won't be installed. But it leaves the third party content installer on your machine so that when you add a serial number the plug-ins can be added. This causes a new installer to run, so it will be registered (and need to be uninstalled) separately from the main installer.
    Frederick- Verify that both machines have the third party plug-ins that Mylenium listed. If it's not on the second machine you probably have it in trial mode and need to serialize. (If not, try uninstalling and reinstalling After Effects from the Master Collection package.)

  • Flash as a Character Creation tool... After Effects as the Animating tool

    I was watching a tutorial in Lynda.com in which an animation studio in California used Flash as their drawing and painting tool for the creation of Characters... not sure what they used for the subsequent animation of the characters, but their feeling was that Flash was a better intuitive freehand/variable width outline creation program than Illustrator or photoshop for this application...  I'm not sure of their choice of Animating tools, but, its been my feeling that After Effects seems to be a more user friendly (organized) and robust, yet less confusing keyframing program than Flash... thus my question on the subject matter is....... does anyone out there have any experience with this scenario of using Flash for character creation then exporting the hopefully layered and vector artwork into After Effects for animation, and if so what is the proper workflow as far as exporting goes from Flash to get the character set up in After effects for animating.  I know the rigging and Hierarchy workflow in After Effects... more specifically I'm asking about file type for exporting from Flash to possibly keep the vector characteristics once in After Effects.  If I am off in my thoughts please clarify for me if possible the best programs for these applications! 

    My experiences back your theory.
    I love Flash with a Passion for years  Its great for low budget projects because it lets you pump out results fast. But it also has its faults as soon as you move into the medium budget realm, with more than 4-5 people working on the same project for more than a month. It will get messy, you will start to loose more and more work because of flashs rising crash tendencies. It may come in handy even in big budget productions, but solely as a Preproduction tool, that you use for developing storyboards or pitch ideas. After Effects has a steeper learning curve but in the end I would say its a much more reliable, solid tool for animators than Flash.
    I felt actually inspired by your post to come up with a little comparison bewtween flash/AE concerning the character animation workflow

  • After Effects reversed when saving the file name - clips get wrong content

    Hi there,
    I have several clips in a sequence. edit this and save it with after effects. then the contents of the edited clips of AE are swapped in Premiere
    Example: Premiere Clip 1 -> dynamic link -> AE Edit and save -> Premiere clip 1 still OK ... the same with clip 2 ... -> and now in Premiere is placed after the content of the clip 1  to clip 2!
    My suspicion is that AE has problems with saving and thus confused the names of the Clips. For a little help I would be very grateful.
    System: Win 8.1 ; CS5.5 MasterCollection all Updates

    This is fixed in later versions.

  • After I import a .swf's into After effects the content disappears!

    I have been using this work flow for sometime. I hand animate a sequence or a still of a character in Flash Pro on a single timeline, no scipts, etc just clean keayframe animation or a single frame.
    Then export the sequence as a .swf.
    Then usually import it into After Effects and use the vector output in my AE scene.
    After completeing an animatic for a client last week all the swf's in my AE project are EMPTY. I tried re-exporting from flash and reimporting into AE and again they show up 1st time but if I close and reopen the project they are GONE again!!! Help I have been doing this same process since CS4 and I have master animations in AE files that I'm now scared to death to open because AE will make my work vanish...  

    I'm having the same issue since updating to cs6. Have always used this workflow seamlessly until now. Some info:
    CS6 Production Premium
    All lastest updates installed - yes
    Windows 7 home Premium
    Processor: Intle core 2Duo CPU E*400
    6BG RAM, 2 drives (AE running off ssd)
    No external HD attached
    Sometimes, but usually not running Flash and AE at the same time
    No error messages
    .swf's play fine in their own right outside of AE
    No special filters, effects of third part plug ins operating
    On save, some (not all) swf's lose some content. Its always the same content. Every time AE is closed and reopened the the same stuff is missing. Only fix so far (which becomes extremely annoying) is to rename the .fla and export a new .swf. It lasts until the next close/open.
    As far as I can tell, it targets non-symbol assets moreso that symbol assets, but converting the problematic parts to symbols in Flash does not rectify the problem once it has presented itself.
    Suggestions?

  • After Effects + Flash - Dynamic Content. How to integrate special effects.

    Hello World of Adobe.
    I am currently working on a project involving data driven dynamic content. This data is being incorporated into the video at runtime.
    I have done these types of projects before, with success, and am looking to step up my game.
    So the question:
    How can I use effects such as - Blur, wiggle, distort, shatter etc. on dynamic content.
    For instance:
    John Doe puts his information into a text feild. That data is sent to flash environment, where it is "injected" into the video at the proper time and location. His name appears in fancy lettering surrounded by fancy environment factors. The name however, blurs in and out of focus.... maybe distorts a bit, then shatters.
    An example:
    These guys over at XMPie seem to have this figured out.
    http://www.xmpie.com/PEVideo
    "Starting with either an original After Effects movie or an existing template from an online library, the user can incorporate variable text, images, and other footage with exciting special effects like animate, wiggle, shatter, blur, warp, distort, and more"
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Thank you for your feedback.
    So essentially there would be a After Effects project template on a server waiting for certain input data. Then it would be rendered and .flv encoded and sent to the video player.
    Do I have that right?
    This could be a problem given the render time, as my client wants the video shown soon after user data in inputted. But may be a solution for a more rich experience, not generated at run-time.
    Are there any plugins or specific scripts you can point me to?
    Also, regarding flash, if I were to export cue point data for these custom feilds, does flash support any additional effects... such as blur, opacity etc. That can be placed within the .flv metadata?

  • Moving After Effects Output Templates into Media Encoder

    With the introduction of the CC apps, Adobe is encouraging users to export most content through the Adobe Media Encoder application. I'm happy to make the switch if it helps my overall workflow.
    As part of moving over to the AME for all things in After Effects, I was hoping I could export all of my custom Output Module Templates to AME, as many of them are being used in an ongoing basis for existing projects, and I'd hate to have to configure the settings from scratch in AME.
    I've been able to export the .aom file using (Save All) from AE. But haven't been successful importing those into Adobe Media Encoder as a preset.
    Does anyone have a proceedure for this?
    Thanks!
    Stephen

    There is no automated way to do this.
    Just to be clear on what we're encouraging:
    We are encouraging you to move all of your H.264, MPEG-2, and Flash Video output to Adobe Media Encoder. In other words, you should be creating files intended for distribution (for playback on the web, mobile devices, or television) using Adobe Media Encoder.
    The After Effects render queue is still the right tool for creating image sequences and other outputs that serve as intermediate files to be exchanged between post-production applications, for mastering, for archiving, and other purposes that don't require encoding to a highly compressed format for playback/delivery.

  • 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

  • General but very urgent question about After Effects...

    I registered for an online course with my college called "Motion Graphics."
    The class description states that the course teaches Adobe Flash and Adobe After Effects,
    and requires the "Classroom in a Book" textbooks for both applications.
    Part of the class description says, "Students will learn how to manipulate text, produce simple animations,
    incorporate audio and video, and learn the necessities of Action Scripting."
    I don't know much about After Effects; I signed up for the class to learn Flash because I am interested in using it
    to create games, mobile apps, and embedded web content. I have no interest in making flash movies.
    After the course opened up today online, it says only the After Effects textbook is needed,
    and that the Flash textbook is not required because Flash has been "phased out" of the course.
    I have been intending to take the ActionScript course after this completing this Motion Graphics course.
    This Motion Graphics course is actually a prerequisite for the ActionScript course.
    Does that even make sense considering Flash has been "phased out" of the course?
    As I said, my intention was to learn Flash and move on to learning ActionScript for the purpose of
    creating games, mobile apps, and embedded web content. Should I even be bothering with this class?

    I contacted the course instructor about the situation, to which she replied:
    "So sorry, summer was the last time flash would be taught. Advanced Flash, after this semester, will not longer exist either.
    It will be renamed "Advanced Motion Graphics" however, the number for the DIG class will remain the same.
    It will only cover After Effects, as flash can no longer work with creating many "apps" and other applications do not except flash.
    If you want to take a flash course, maybe the college offers a weekend course, maybe?
    Classroom in a book is a great book to learn on, so if you want, you could keep the textbook and learn it on your own.
    Again, sorry for your disappointment, but this class will only cover after effects."
    What does she mean by "It will only cover After Effects, as flash can no longer work with creating many "apps" and other applications do not except flash."?
    Why would she say this?
