Naming png sequence with specific frame numbers from After Effects

I am currently using Media Encoder 7.2.2.29 and After Effects version 12.2.1, and I am running it on Mac OSX 10.8.2
I am making an animated sequence in After Effects that after exporting I caught a few things I want to change throughout the piece.  I had rendered it out as a PNG sequence, so I would like to only replace the frames that need fixing.  How can I control the naming convention of the PNG files from Adobe Media Encoder?  Say I wanted to render frames 1 - 200, 370 - 400, and 500-600, how could I set up each sequence so it would keep the exact frame number from the composition in its name?  Right now I am just keeping track of which beginning and end frames I am using and will use Bridge to batch rename, but I would love to know if there is a way to set this up in the render. 
Thanks!

This sounds similar to the problem I'm having when using AME to render frame sequences from AE.  The frame numbers aren't treated the same way like when you just render right in AE.  No matter where your in and out is, it always starts at zero with me instead of retaining the frame numbers.  VERY frustrating and have no clue why the naming conventions are different.   Is this what you're talking about?

  • Export sequence with actual frame numbers

    Hi all,
    I rendered my projects entire workarea once in a whole png-sequence!
    Now i changed a small part and wanted to render that part into the folder with the already rendered sequence.
    PROBLEM is that it alway starts with "ZERO". How can i tell Premiere to do it in actual framenumbers?!?
    Or is there an nother workflow that is similar to that technique?
    Thanks you all
    Michael

    Actually no!
    I rendered the whole projekt as a png-sequence. So the folder contains png-files from Projectname_0000.png  up to Projectname_4258.
    Now i have a little change in the middle between frames Projectname_0800.png to Projectname_0850.png.
    Problem is when i render the changed element it starts with Projectname_0000 instead of Projectname_0800!
    you mentioned --> Preferences under Media/Timecode <-- there is a dropdown to change between sequencenumbering starts with "0" or "1". If i could choose "actual framenumber" problem would be solved :-)

  • Import image sequence including negative frame numbers:  -072 thru 300

    I use Quicktime pro to create movie clips from 3D frame stacks. I then use the QT clips in final cut studio to do my editing.
    my 3D app has the capability of generating "negative" frames..that is, frames prior to 0. You can use this when you have a scene all set up, and want to add something which happens before all the other things you've set up; rather than time-shifting everything else foreward, you simply add the new element prior to the 0 point.
    QT Pro appears unable to cope with this. It sees the frames with negative frame numbers as being part of a different sequence, so that it will pull in from -072 thru -001, then stop. it also will begin with frame -001, ending on -072, making the clip appear backwards when it is played.
    Clicking on the Name column so that -072 is first, doesn't make a difference.
    Is there a workaround to this from the Quicktime end of things?
    thanks!

    Not that I'm aware of.
    QuickTime Player Pro image sequence files must be "sequential" and it will import in that order.
    "Negative" numbers are not placed before "positive" values and you'll need to rename the files prior to import.
    Sorry.

  • How to auto insert a number array with size of 20 into a named excel file with the positon is from A1 TO A20?i use lv6.1

    can you give me a example vi for it ?thanks a lot!
    how to auto insert a number array with size of 20 into a named excel file  with the positon is from A1 TO A20?i use lv6.1

    You don't need us to give you an example, as the example already comes with LV. Go to Help>>Find Examples and search for "excel". You will find an example called "write table to XL". You should note that the example doesn't do that exactly, because it writes a 2D array from 2 to N.
    You can modify the example by using only one for loop (instead of nested loops) with a 1D array or by going into the Set Cell Value and modifying it to accept a second cell value for the Cell2 terminal and wiring in a 1D array instead of the single string. If you do modify it, be sure to save it under a different name, so you don't overwrite the original.
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

  • The way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link

    I guess this feature is not supported, but let me ask one thing.
    I am looking for the way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link.
    For example, if the following link is opened, is it possoble to open 3d.pdf with automatic selection of "abc" model in the model tree?

    If it can be done by javascript, it's really helpful.

    Impossible. There are only very limited command-line options for the Acrobat Family and you cannot change them.

  • Extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects

    How do it extract XMP metadata from specific Photoshop Layer in After Effects?
    I am just getting my hands dirty with metadata.
    I know it is possible to attack metadata to a layer/layerset in Photoshop, but how to I get it out in After Effects.
    Here is the process.
    I create BunchaLayers.psd.
    Using the PerLayerMetaData.jsx file attached.
    I use the setCommMetadata("something") function to attacked metadata to a selected layer.
    I know that is is there because I check it using the exportLayerMetadata().
    I save and imprt BunchaLayers.psd into AE as a comp.
    Here I am lost.
    I select my layer in the project window and check the XMP metadata window.
    I can't find my comment.
    Is the XMP data actually attached to the layer I imported in AE?
    I want to be able to select the layer and see that the data is attached.  Is this possible?
    If it is will it work on layersets (comps in AE)?
    I would appreciate any layer specific XMP insight.
    Thanks for looking.
    - Josh

    John Nack on Adobe : Per-layer metadata comes to Photoshop
    This was the article that made me think this might be possible.
    There is also the preference to Create Markers From Metadata
    ["Metadata"]
              "CreateLayerMarkersFromFootageXMP" = 01
    Which made me wonder if there is a way to create the metadata in the first place that made it something AE would read and automatically change to layer markers.
    Any ideas?

  • Sound problem with exporting from After Effects

    Hello everybody,
    I exported a windows media video from premiere cs5 (it was shot with the cannon 7d).
    The video has 1 video channel, 1 audio channel that contains a conversation, and another audio channel that contains only music.
    After I exported it, I imported the video into After Effects cs5, I added some effects, and then I exported it as a windows media video.
    The audio settings were:
    Mode- music
    codec- windows meida audio voice 9
    audio format- 20kbps, 22.05 khz, mono
    Even though the video from Premiere was flawless, the one from After Effects contains the conversation perfectly, but the music is very low and even erratic.
    Did anybody experienced this problem?

    AE doesn't deal with multiple channels. It always assumes that a file with 2 channels is stereo. You need to export the audio from Premiere separately or create a proper stereo mix, not throw two interleaved mono channels at AE...

  • What do I do with JS file exported from After FX?

    I exported a .swf file from After Effects, and it also
    exported a Javascript file (as well as an .html file)
    What do I do with the JS file? where does it go?

    Unfortunately, the answer is, you don't. The requirements for HTML displayed in an e-mail reader are very different than those for HTML displayed in a browser. The output of Muse won't work as an HTML e-mail. You could upload the Muse site as a website and provide a link to it in an e-mail, but the HTML generated by Muse is not suitable for direct display by an e-mail program.

  • Rendering MP4 with AME from After Effects is always single-core?

    When I render MP4 from After Effects CC 2014.2 (by AME) then rendering always is slow and only single-core, despite that in AE prefs Multiprocessor rendering is set.
    Why?

    I have made quick test now.
    AE's Render Queue: render time 53s - average CPU load about 50% (12 cores, 8 rendering threads at this case) - 8 threads active in Process Explorer
    AME Render: 2m08s - average CPU load about 20% (same machine) - 1 thread active in Process Explorer
    (please note that this was simple project; at 8active/12total cores this should be 66% or even more total CPUs load, so probably much time was disk I/Os - if only was 50% of total CUP load)
    So essential question is:
    Is AME CC 2014.2 renders AE projects as set in AE prefs in multiprocessing?
    Or maybe there is separate option in AME to turn on multiprocessing on AE's projects?

  • Exporting layers of audio from After Effects  cs6 to Premiere / or Audition? Is this possible?

    exporting layers of audio from After Effects  cs6 to Premiere / or Audition? Is this possible?
    Help - I have an After effects project with multiple layered files and want to copy these to Premiere / Audition. For example I know if you select multiple video files from After Effects these can be pasted straight into Premiere intact - but this does not work with audio. I want to take existing layered audio files from After Effects to Audition / or Premiere but can't copy and paste - is there a simple solution for this?

    Hi thanks Dave for responding - yes that could work as a 'workaround' -  I was hoping there would be a way I can keep the existing independent audio layers and corresponding audio levels from After Effects- in the same way I can copy and paste video files from After Effects to Premiere - rather than exporting a flattened AIFF /WAV from After Effects.
    This would then allow me a lot more control working on the final edit - especially as currently a lot of the audio layers overlap. It does seem there is no simple solution for this, so  otherwise I can do what you suggest - and 'stagger all the audio files' in sequence so they do not overlap on the timeline and then when I import the flattened exported AIFF file into Audition/ Premeire / I then can cut it up again and recreate the overlaps. Was hoping there might be a simple copy + paste method or other 'export method' but I guess this is simply not possible. It would save me about 7 hours of work, but not the end of the world I guess
    One final point - some of the audio clips are .mp3s but the majority are WAVS, hopefully this should not create any issues on the export.
    thanks again for your help, if you or anyone has any other solution pls let me know
    Best

  • Importing project from after effects to premiere, plug in effect not available?

    Hello all, Im using cs5. When I import a video project to premiere from after effects, i get an error message saying that an effect plugin from after effects is not available in premiere. Specifically the glow effect. I thought that since after effects had the effect that premiere would too. I'm asking for the college i go to as we are not too familiar with this program and we have a sub for the next few weeks, thanks in advanced !

    oh sorry, i didnt notice that the post i posted didnt have really any info, the page froze and the page saved my info, i guess i submitted the wrong post. anyways, this whats going on.
    I make an after effects cs5 composition which is a .MOV video i took, roughly 1 minute with the glow effect applied to the video. I then import the composition to premiere, premiere then gives me the error that premiere does not have the glow effect and therefore, won't be applied. below is my specs and here is a link to another post of mine that might possibly have something to do with this. after effects cs5 keylight (1.2) crash with dynamic link error?

  • Exporting from After Effects (field dominance issues?)

    Hi all,
    I created a FCP DV/NTSC sequence with field dominance set to none (I'm working with still images, this improves the quality a lot). I then export that sequence as a quicktime movie file and import that movie file into After Effects.
    The problem is after I'm done working in After Effects, I can't export a quicktime file without it looking really poor quality. When exporting, I preserve all the original FCP sequence settings, except the field dominance settings(doesn't seem to be an option in After Effects for this?).
    So pretty much I am trying to get a sharp picture when exporting in After Effects, so I can take it back into FCP. Please assist.

    Your workflow is quite limited by the DV NTSC sequence. If your sequence is all stills, you are not necessarily tied to that setting at all. Do you need to output to a VTR via FireWire ultimately? What is your final output?
    A better sequence choice might be DV50. You would export a QT movie, current settings. You don't actually export from After Effects. You render by adding your comp to the Render Queue. Good render settings would be DV50 (this would not require rendering in FCP), Animation, or perhaps ProRes 422 HQ if you have access to it. You would choose not to render fields.
    If it's all stills, it would be better yet to simply start in After Effects.

  • Render files from After Effects inserts do not reload when starting Premiere Pro (CS6)

    Hi there,
    When I have an insert from After Effects in Premiere Pro, and when I render these parts in the sequence, everything is fine untill I restart Premiere Pro: the render files do not load. Checking the cache directory however, they do exist! Anybody knows how to solve this issue?
    Thanks for yor response, Pieter

    I failed to mention that I tried this on another computer as well with a completly different lesson. This time I brought the whole footage in to afteraffects and did the keying and then went back to CS6 and tried to render it, and it locked up my second computer the same way.

  • HDV from After Effects to FCP - seeking advice...

    I'm editing a concert which was shot with 5 cameras in Sony HDV (1080i), and FCP can actually play all 5 cameras in a multiclip synchronized with the canvas! (Dual G5, 1GB RAM) Well, it throws up an "Out Of Memory" red screen now and then, but I just ignore that and keep editing.
    Now I'm creating an opening in After Effects set to HDV 1080i, and I'm wondering how to export (actually, MakeMovie) it. I've tried Animation / no compression and HDV / Keyframe every 15 frames. The Animation is about 20 times the file size of the HDV; they both play in FCP RT with some stuttering, they both render in the same amount of time, and they both look identical after rendering.
    Can anyone suggest any other ways to export from After Effects so it will play without rendering in FCP?
    I have a haunting feeling that if the GOP of the imported clip does not match the GOP of the timeline, I have to render. But I don't know how to detect the GOP of either.
    Arghhh... how I suffer for art! Any suggestions would be welcome!

    Hi James ... Yup, that's right, stacked on top of each other with opacity lowered on both as well! (I do like Macpros my old G5 went red when talking about HDV in the same room!!). I have though managed to replicate Seths problem by not using the same size comp. settings in AE. ie if my comp settings in AE are 320x 120 and I try resizing when rendering that seems to throw FCP off track, but if the AE comp settings are 1440 x 1080 and rendered at the same using HDV 1080 then FCP treats the quicktime footage as the same as Sony HDV.

  • QuickTime Files rendered from After Effects won't open

    I currently have QuickTime version 7.6. Files that I download from elsewhere or that I view in the FireFox plugin online play just fine. However, files rendered from After Effects CS3 (I prefer MPEG-4 codec, but I just tried and Sorenson 3 won't do it either) will not play in FireFox's plugin and they won't open QuickTime when I double-click them in Explorer. They will only open in the QT player if I already have the player open. Otherwise, I have to open them in VLC. I much prefer the QT player and I don't want to have to open it first to view my files. Any thoughts on what's going wrong here? This has only started in the past month or so.
    Other people can view the files just fine, it's just my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times now and have updated my video drivers, to no avail. I've also installed Avast! Antivirus and run a boot-time virus scan, but no lick there either.
    Error signature from Windows:
    EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.60.92.0
    P3 : 496279cc P4 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P5 : 7.60.92.0 P6 : 496279cc
    P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000

    I wouldn't have a clue from here on, it could be anything. The key would be, if you could recall what changes were made to the computer during the time the problem surfaced. I'm not familiar with After Effects C3S but I'd disable it from loading at start-up if it does, and try QT again, but that's just a pure guess, based on the EventType error numbers, that are somewhat familiar with memory load
