  • Apple Motion vs Adobe After Effects vs Macromedia Director

    Greetings,
    1. Is Motion like Adobe After Effects and/or Macromedia Director?
    2. What are the similarities and differences between Motion and Adobe After Effects?
    3. What are the similarities and differences between Motion and Macromedia Director?
    Thanks for the comments!

    I have noticed LOTS of people are thinking about, Motion vs After Effects. I personally think it is Apple's intention to eventually exceed AE's abilities. Right now however, I find that 'round trip' thang between FCP and Motion awfully nice, no need for a go-between piece of software like Automatic Duck.
    Anyway, in sorting thru my own AE vs Motion quandry I stumbled upon the following overview, which proved insightful - While it's now a bit dated, I found it helpful - Do consider, Motion does some compositing now and I think we'll see it do a lot more in future releases.
    Perhaps it may also give you some more to think about - Hope it's helpful either way.

  • Is there an easier way to work with adobe after effects and final cut pro x

    I use adobe after effects and I am thinking about deleting motion and compressor ( I can always install again). If you have a good reason to keep those apps let me know because I don't want to be hasty. If I delete them and stick with after effects and final cut pro...  Is there a secret to easy working between FCPX and adobe after effects?
    Thanks

    You'll go from FCP X to and from Motion a lot easier than AE.  Motion does pretty much anything AE does, most of the time faster and easier.  Without Motion, you can't do custom templates.  You can't customize the encoding of files without Compressor.  Why would you want to remove them from your system?  Leave them, use AE if you want along side of them.  But I'd learn Motion first.  Cause AE doesn't read FCPXML, so going back and forth between them is a PITA.
    And until Apple releases the round trip between FCP X and Motion fully, we have this gem:

  • Adobe After Effects and Encore

    Need help.  I created an adobe after effects animated menu in after effects for a previous project which I imported into Adobe Encore and used adobe dynamic to make it work.   I need to use the same after effects project as the main menu.  I imported it using adobe dynamic link, but I can't select it as first play in Encore and I can't animate (Render).  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.  I don't want to rebuild the same menu again.

    Hi Jim,
    I have the original menu that I used to create the comp in after effects imported as a menu in Encore.  I'm a novice, but want to know how I link them together. Originally, I added the menu and used adobe dynamic link to after effects where I created the animated menu, which worked great.  Now, I'm using a new adobe Encore project and what to use those same assets for this one.  I appreciate your help.
    Thank you,

  • Adobe After Effects and Prem7

    Can you use Adobe After Effects with Prem7?

    You can use Aftereffects and export the files and import it in Premiere Elements.
    But between Premiere Pro and Aftereffects, you can even import the Aftereffects sequences in Premiere pro.
    So YES, you can use any editing and compositing application with premiere elements, as long as you are exporting the output in a format that is acceptable by Premiere Elements, but you cannot import the sequence or timeline of any other application within premiere elements as you can do with some other interoperable applications.

  • Difference between Adobe After Effects and Apple Final Cut; Motion etc.

    I quess my main question is, Do both products do the same thing? I am thinking of buying After Effects for use with Flash, but I see that that Final Cut does allot of the same.
    I would like to know if I am missing something.
    How good is the blue screen effect in express?
    I would like to do alpha transparancies for Flash work on the web.
    Thanks Ed.

    To my understanding After Effects is very different from Motion. They certainly have similarities, but they are two different types of programs.
    After Effects is a Keyframe based post-production tool that, while complex, is exteremely powerful. Motion is more user-friendly and has cool features, but as for raw power for intense CG work it is not your tool.
    As for keying things out, I have only used the croma key tools in Final Cut Pro, and while it works well, it does not have quite the same ease as something along the lines of: http://www.seriousmagic.com/products/ultra/
    If you are looking for an easy, web qaulity way of keying things, seriousmagic is probably the company for you.

    Anyone else had AE die after 10.4.5? I can't get beyond a few bounces and no splash screen. It works fine on another backup system drive 10.4.4. repaired permissions and reinstalled, no luck.

  • I am new to After Effects and Motion 5 and I have a question

    Hello there,
    I am currently working on a personal side project for a family member. She would like me to make a video with recorded audio and pictures from the 1920’s for my grandmother. I would like to give the parallax and 2.5D effect a try but as I never used After Effects or Motion before I am a little overwhelmed.
    I have about 80 images to animate. Right now I am in the ‘Photoshop phase’. I am going through each image and separating the foreground, mid-ground, and background, into separate layers and saving the .psd files to eventually bring into Motion 5 (or After Effects) and animate.
    After seeing this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrYyX3bHI8
    I really wanted to animate the images I had in a similar fashion. I really loved how they seemed to move and know that I can accomplish this appearance with the pin tool in After Effects. After seeing this video however, I continued looking into the 2.5d effect and found this movie for Motion 5:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxlm2nkVLA
    I bought Motion 5 because I thought the interface seemed more user friendly to newcomers (like myself), the effects were similar, and because I couldn’t afford to pay for After Effects every month.
    But now I am kicking myself. Motion 5 is lovely and I do like the camera effects but I don’t think I can accomplish the ‘puppet’ effect with it like I can in After Effects. Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a plugin for Motion 5? Can I send my .psd files into Motion 5, set up the timeline and cameras, save it, and then move it into After Effects and then use the pin tool to manipulate the images and layers?
    I have read that some say it is hard to move Motion files into After Effects? If this is the case, could I save the Motion file, open it in Adobe Premiere, and THEN open it in After Effects and play around with it?
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.

    2.5D is fairly easy to do in Motion... that's the good news. The bad news is: if you don't know what you need to do to accomplish it, it's practically impossible to do easily or well.
    The first problem to overcome is perspective, and the other problem is parallax.
    These two tutorials (by Mark Spencer) will give you all the information you need dealing with moving Photoshop Layers in Z-space. Even though the point of the tutorials is a "fly through", the same information applies to creating 2.5D. Just animate the camera laterally (sweep) instead of dolly.

  • Dynamic link after effects and adobe media encoder

    Hello,
    I recently downloaded After Effects cc (yesterday). I am running a mac pro with OSX 10.9.3 2.3 ghz intel core i7 with 16 gb 1600 MHz DDR3.
    On previous versions of AE I was able to render straight out of AE, I know this is not the case with CC anymore. I am trying to use AME to export however I am having issues.
    When I try to send to AME from the Composition tab in AE it looks like it is doing something and then nothing happens. I then opened AME separately and tried to "add after effects comp" from the file menu in AME the error message displayed was "Could not connect to Adobe After effects. Please verify that Adobe After effects and Adobe Dynamic link components are installed".
    I have also tried to drag and drop my composition directly from AE to AME and the following message appears "Dynamic link error - Source is empty"
    I have read a multitude of threads on this issue and this is definitely not a firewall issue. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

    > On previous versions of AE I was able to render straight out of AE, I know this is not the case with CC anymore.
    Why do you think that? You can still use the render queue in After Effects to render and export directly out of After Effects.
    That said, there are some formats that Adobe Media Encoder handles better.
    > and this is definitely not a firewall issue
    How have you determined that?
    Does exporting to QuickTime (.mov) format from After Effects work? How about the 3D Camera Tracker and Warp Stabilizer effects? The reason that I ask about these is that they use the same communication mechanism that Dynamic Link does, so if they also fail, then it tells us something about where the problem is.

  • Is Live Type Apples version of Adobe After Effects?

    Hello i was curious to know if live type is apples version of adobe after effects? now i know they are not the same but i started learning adobe after effects and it seems very similar...I don't want to try and learn another program if i can do the same thing with live type... I was looking into video editing as a career and have been teaching myself a bunch of things but i see that in the video production field that Adobe after effects is used alot and ppl want you to be familiar with it.. So i'm basically asking with the knowledge can the same thing be accomplished in live type as in after effects ?
    Thank you

    Hi jbonante
    Despite its name, LiveType does more than just manipulate text and create title cards.
    If you do a search of YouTube, you will many interesting examples of how LT has been used, for example one I did:

    Do you really need After Effects, Motion etc for what you are trying to create?

  • Aobe After Effects and Premier Pro

    Hi,
    We currently have a suite of 23 iMacs running Mountain Lion and Adobe CS6 DS - we have now been asked if we can install Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premier Pro - I know we could probably buy a bundle that includes the two but we already have the CS6 DS suite so there is no point doing this, how do I go about getting a download of this that I can then lisence and distribute to the iMacs in the suite?
