Need Help With After Effects. Please read.
Hey,
So I'm using after effects cs6. The problem I have with it is that the final video after exporting stucks in between and never runs smoothly. I exported my almost 7 minutes video as a quicktime file that is (.mov). SO whenever I play the video in quicktime or any other player, it stucks, sometimes i pause it but it pauses after 10 seconds i click the pause button. sometimes the voice is ahead of sound and vice-versa. It doesnt stuck at the same point everytime. I need my video to run smoothly. Can someone please help.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks
FAQ: Why is my output file huge, and why doesn't it play back smoothly in a media player?

Need help with after effects render engine setup
I use AE CS6 on a mac computer running Mountain Lion. I also own a PC running Windows 7, and I am wanting to use it to assist with network rendering. How do I install the after effects render engine on a PC, when all that I own is the Mac version of the software?
Any help would be appreciatedDid you purchase a perpetual license for the software, or do you have a Creative Cloud Membership subscription?
If the former, you need to purchase an additional license to get the Windows version. If the latter, you can just download the Windows version as part of your subscription. -
Help with after effects Please
Im trying to leran how to make 3d photos in after effects .
Unfortunatley i cant find any instructions that help me with my problems when i import my layered photoshop document and double click the composition layer i just get a huge black box in the middile of the screen.
i can view the layers individually but not as a whole to play with. is there a 2d to 3d book for dummies? ha ha
can any one help????If your imported file is not working the color space is probably not RGB. AE only works properly with RGB files.
I think you are looking for 'the kid stays in the picture' / or more accurately, camera mapping or camera projection techniques. This is where you separate the foreground background and middle ground elements of a photograph into separate layers, bring them into a 3D app like AE's 3D space, distribute them in 3D space, and then animate a camera move on the layers.
There's a plug-in from Video Copilot that kind of automates this process and that works very well for certain photographs. Photoshop's vanishing point tool can also be used, or you may do all of the work of separating layers by hand (my preferred method 95% of the time) and bring the PSD into AE as a comp, convert the layers to 3D, distribute them on the Z axis, add a camera and animate the camera. -
I just upgraded to PP CS4 to CS5 Premium with After Effects and Photoshop. I'm trying hard to figure things out but I'm unfamiliar with these programs and have no idea where to begin to learn. I've tried watching various tutorials, but they skip over basics, and unfortunately, that's what I need. I
Can anyone recommend a really good book or video or something to get me started? I know there's so much to learn and I'm so eager to learn it all. However, I don't even know how to get the footage from CS5 to After Effects.
One more question - I'm working on a video right now in CS5. The girl in the video has rosacea and I want to take the red out of her face. Is this possible in After Effects? If so, can someone please tell me how to go about doing it - or suggest a tutorial that deals with such an issue?
Thank you so much,
Jules> Do you have any idea which tool in after effects I would use, and how,
to remove color from an area on a video and blend it with the
surrounding area. Or if anyone knows of a tutorial explaining that
process I would so appreciate it.
You should ask your After Effects questions on the After Effects forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/aftereffects_general_discussion
Here are two video tutorials that show different ways to selectively apply an effect to a specific area:

http://www.peachpit.com/podcasts/episode.aspx?e=8822f9a1-93c5-4a00-8697-a54b653c7aaf
But you should really begin at the beginning and learnt he basics of After Effects first. -

Help with After Effects CS6 error please?
I'm working on a kinetic typography project in CS6 as my final assignment for my Motion Graphics class. It's nothing too complex, just some text to some song lyrics and I decided I wanted to do some camera movements around the text but when I checked the 3D box next to the layers, I get an error message,
88:3, "error: TDL:outline contains triangles that are too small to be rendered. Check for very thin triangles in original artwork."
I literally only have one background picture and then quite a few text layers but that's it.
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!I'm still kind of new to After Effects and working with vector so I apologize if I'm not too savvy with all of this. Here's a screenshot of my composition if that's of any help.
*Edit: Oh and my text doesn't need any extrusions, the only 3D transformations I've made to the text layers is "pulling" their positions a little closer on the Z axis. -
Need help with gunshot effect in FCP
New to FCP and am trying to add a gunshot effect to a short film. Doesn't have to look top notch...just looking for something simple.
I added a muzzle blast for the shooter from detonationfilms.com, which worked great. When i overlayed the muzzle blast, the background was black. I was able to fix this by using Modify>Composite>Screen.
Now I'm trying to add the bullet hitting the victim, but all the shots from detonationfilms.com have white backgrounds. For some reason, when I go to Modify>Composite>Screen it doesn't work for white. What I'm I missing? Are there any other websites that have bullet hits with a black background? As I said, I'm not too picky.
Lastly, I have about a 40 frame shot of the victim collapsing to the ground after being shot. He's wearing a white T-Shirt, which I'd like to stain with blood. Can someone tell me what program would work best for this? I basically think I need to go frame by frame and "paint" the blood on him, but not sure what program is best for this (and simple).
Thanks! Much appreciated.welcome to the family. We're not really here to help you with practical effects and filmmaking tips, we're here to help you with the software. But we'll see who shows up.
For some reason, when I go to Modify>Composite>Screen it doesn't work for white. What I'm I missing? < </div>
Screen drops out black pixels. It's not really the best way to get luma key effects but it's quick and easy for high contrast effects footage that is delivered on superblack. Try a luma keyer to key out the white.

Should have been done as a practical effect while shooting. A simple squib and blood packet would have been FAR easier to deal with than rotoscoping and hand painting. You need After Effects or, if you have Motion, crack the manual and get set for some long sessions. There is nothing simple about handpainting on a moving object.

Need Help with Typography. Please Help.
I have final cut studio 3 and want to do some typography, I can only find tutorials on how to do it in after effects. I do not have after effects and do not have that kind of money to buy it. I know motion 4 is capable of doing typography but how. I need someone to explain how exactly to do it or can someone give me a link to a tutorial of how to do typography in apple motion 4 (or 3). Please I really need to do do a typography project. How can I do this in motion 4.
Check out Mark Spencer's website. I believe he has a tutorial on typography there.
[AppleMotion.net|http://www.applemotion.net]
It's bascially the same idea in Motion as it is in AE. It's not that complicated; it just takes a lot of work.

I did something to piss off after effects - not sure what I did exactly I was trying to make an after effects icon on the dock ( I have a MacBook pro running mavericks )
I have a subscription to the creative cloud - and have downloaded after effects CS6 . but....
Now when I try to open one of my After effects projects it says " Error message - something about I need to uninstall the older version of after- effects , - and then it listed a preset ( blur)
and when I close the window , there were approximately 30 similar windows with the same message , but a different preset,( blur this or that )
So like an idiot I went to my applications and dragged my after effects app icon to the trash ( there were two of them) and then emptied the trash- Now all my After effects files are greyed out with small green text that says "exec"
what should I do? I cant opn my AE (after effects) files, I went to the cloud to re-install it and it says it is alll updated , should I do a uninstall? How do I do that? can I do that and then re-install AE CS6? will adobe make me download the newer CC version? I dont want that version because all the computers at my school run CS6
Can someone advise me what the next step would be?
Im grateful for this forum.Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstall. Also learn to name your files sensibly - using $ in a file name may simply be interpreted as a variable by the operating system.

Help with After Effects error 213:11
I try to open my project on after effects and after effects wont open. It tells me that and says to restart my computer which I have tried many times to no success. I have reinstalled it twice and still doesn't work. Please help.
You have not actually told us any relevant technical details liek what computer we are talking about. This is a licensing error, so from a botched instal lto something on your system blocking the licensing services anything could be going on, but based on your non-info we just cannot know.

Help with After Effects? Null Layer and Text not working?
In after effects cs5.5 on mac, im motion tracking as normal, and the track works fine, then when i add the null layer and edit the tracking target to the null layer, the screen goes black, and all i can see is the null layer as a red box moving along the motion track path (i cant see the path) also, whenever i try to add text, (which im trying to motion track via attatching to the null layer) the text is invisible, when the screens black, all i can see is the wire frame of the text next to the square null layer, im pretty new to after effects, but im following tutorials as i should, and its just not working as it shows in all the videos ive tried, please help!
Check whether you have wireframe mode enabled/ Live Update disabled. Sounds like one of those cases. Other than that this could be OpenGL issues, so turn it off in the prefs. Also check your comp size vs. the size of the footage you are tracking. Tracking works relative to the layer, so if the comp is too small, the values would be so large they end up being outside the comp.
