Porting FCP plugins to After Effects

I bought some 3rd party plugins from sheffield softworks for FCP, but I want to use them in adobe after effects. Is it some way to port them?

Sadly, there is no direct way to interface FCP plugins to After Effects. Which plugins were you looking to use in AE?

Mavericks doesn't ask for password when copying files into applications folder (e.g. installing plugins for After Effects)

For example, when i was copied a plugin for after effects into the plugins folder, finder asked me for my password and now it doesn't. I can just copy it directly without any authentication.

Do you have Service Pack 1 for Windows 7? It's listed in the system requirements for CC 2014. If you don't have SP1, AE won't run.
That GPU sniffer error message is usually what happens. This should be a simple fix! Of course, you should always take the normal precautions when updating an OS, but still...

FCP and Adobe After Effects pro 7

How can I install the plugins of effects from "After Effects" in FCP ? It exists a file : library/Application support/amsn/plugin.
I have installed the plugins in this file but i don't see anything in the "effects" in FCP.
Is that the right way ?
Thank you very mutch.

AE specific plug ins distributed by Adobe with the app do not work.
Some third party plug in do work.
If they are using 5.1.2 on a Mac Intel, do not use AE plug ins.

Spatial view 3D effect plugin causing After Effects to crash.

I installed the Spatial View stereoscopic effect plugin today, only using the 30 day trial.
However, every time I try to apply the effect or adjust some the settings, After Effects crashes.
Anyone else had the same problem?
I really need this plugin badly Q_Q

I think this is too specialised a question to get an answer :/
Nevermind, I've decided to go with Tridef, it's a lot cheaper and easier to use.
If anyone is looking to convert 2D video to 3D analglyph, it seems the way to go.

FCP integrates with After Effects? Help!

I am doing an animation which comprises many videos and images flying across... My client wants me to deliver FCP file so he can update the videos/images himself later. But I am only good in doing animation in After Effects. I only know FCP for editing...
Question is, should I try doing all the animation in FCP instead? Is there a way I can still do my animation in AE, yet my client can easily do updates in the FCP file?
Please help! Thanks!

If you think that the animation functions in FCP will do what you need then go for it.
That way your client only needs a copy of your project -you can use the Media Manager to consolidate everything into a single folder, which you can pass on to them.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, it was a wonderful spring afternoon here so I spent some time with the lady artist who has the studio space under mine, drinking beer down by the harbor.

Font Compatibility between FCP and Adobe After Effects

Hello.
I've got an issue with my fonts...
I've got 4 places where I can put them (Library/Fonts ; System/Library/Fonts ; Users/Library/Fonts ; Network/Library/Fonts (a network Library I made working with a SAN)).
I've got at least 4 kind of fonts (DFONT:Datafork TrueType font ; FFIL:Font Suitcase ; OTF:OpenType font ; TTF:Windows TrueType font).
I'm working with networked home directories.
My question is : What I have got to use for my fonts been recognised In both Final Cut Pro and After Effects (Adobe software in general).
With all of my 4 folders I've got about 100 fonts. In FCP an AFX I can see about 35 fonts and only 27 in common. This 27 are in differents folder and are different type.
I'm getting mad.
Help me

Of course I should, but the shared Library is made for "I put a font in one place and it can be used by anyone of my network".
It doesn't matter, I found the answer myself. The TTF one works, but the name isn't the same : In Apple world, the font got the font's file's name, in Adobe's world, the font got the font's family's name + font's style (like bold) (and both can't be change...)
Thx

Roundtripping between FCP and After Effects CS3

What is the best way to get clips from a FCP timeline into After Effects, and then back again? How do i do this without purchasing any additional plugins?
Also, how do i get an entire sequence into After Effects and then back into Final Cut Studio?
Yes, i admit i'm at a very beginning stage of my expertise, but i will apreciate any help in mastering these techniques.

Yeah...if you want separate clips, you cannot do this without Automatic Duck Pro Export for After Effects. YOu can export a self contained file and import that, then export out of AE and back into FCP.
Or use Motion., as Tony says.

FCP After Effects and RAM Issues

Hello,
Recently I have been working on a 1280x720 video project using both FCP 7 and After Effects CS6. I have an early 2011 MBP running 10.6.8 (I'm not a fan of Lion). It's a 2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7. I have been having significant lagging issues with playing back videos in AE and eeven more significant playing them in the timeline of FCP. It has made editing a royal pain. Exports also take a long time.
I had 8GB of RAM but last night, expanded to 16GB. Since then, I have noticed no increase in speed at all. Not opening programs. Not opening files, not exporting files, and not playing back in either program. Maybe I am misunderstood as to what the RAM was supposed to accomplish?
My question is, what can I do to fix this? Do I need a new Hard Drive? Was the RAM upgrade a waste of money. Maybe someone has some suggested settings for Memory and Cache for the two programs?
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris

Chris:
To open an application faster, install a faster hard drive. If you go with an SSD drive, you should notice a huge improvement in how quickly your applications launch. If you just upgrade from a 4,800 RPM or 5,400 RPM drive to a 7,200 RPM drive, then you'll see a modest increase in launch time.
To export files faster from AE, you'll want faster processors (assuming you had enough RAM in the first place). AE tells you at the bottom of the application window how much RAM is being used. While you had 8GB of RAM, you might have seen 42% being used. Increasing your RAM to 16GB would only reduce that percentage to 21%. It would not speed up the render. A faster hard drive can help as well, but not as much as faster processors. Switching from a USB2 thumb drive to your internal drive would boost render speeds. Even if you were working at 1920x1080, it's unlikely that you'd need more than 4GB of RAM. If you happend ot be working at really large Composition sizes or have artwork that is really large (like 18MB still images), AE will tell you exaclty how much more RAM you need when it displays an "insuficient memory" dialog box. If that was happening, then you'd want more RAM.
To "speed up" the playback of video, you need storage media that can maintain the sustained data transfer rate of the file being played. (Unfortunately, more RAM doesn't help for this.) 1280x720 rendered to the Animation codec at best quality and at 8 bits per channel requires 3.5Mb per frame (not including audio). At 30 frames per second, you're looking at 105Mb/second. eSATA was recommended earlier and that's a good option; however, you mentioned that you have a 2011 MacBook Pro. As such, you probably have a Thundebolt port. An external Thunderbolt drive should be able to maintain 105Mb/second with overhead to spare. If you have to use your interal drive, switch from the Animation codec to Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 422 LT. You'll see a good reduction in storage space requirements and your internal drive should be able to maintain the data rate required of APR 422 and APR 422 LT. If you need to have Animation versions of your renders, use Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder to convert the rendered Animation movie to a H264 file and then play that when you need to view the video. Also, _always_ be mindful of how full your drive is. The closer the drive gets to being over 85% to 90% of its maximum capacity, the more likely data transfer rates are going to drop (that is, the drive will not perform as fast as it would have otherwise). If you happen to have upgraded to a hybrid drive or SSD drive, you probably won't have to worry about reaching drive capacity (other than worrying about setting overlfow volumes in AE). You can throw the fastest processor available and the most RAM available at a high data transfer rate movie, but if the storage media isn't fast enough then the storage media isn't fast enough.
Regardless of your OS (32bit vs. 64bit; 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.6 or 10.8), all of the above factors apply.
I'm curious, do you really hope that I choke?

ProRes conflict between After Effects and FCP!

Well, I am currently editing a video where I need a lot of after effects / final cut interactions. My sequence settings in FCP is ProRes (HQ), Frame size 1920x1080 (HDTV 1080i) and fps on 29.97, and running latest version of FCP.
In After Effects CS3, I export the video on these exact settings, and then when I import it in FCP, part of the ending of the clip are always missing. Quicktime player plays the file perfectly. I have heard that this can be a frame per second issue and I was hoping if anyone could please shed some light in this.
I read here about a similar issue:
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/982503#982503
I have no idea what to try out now, as you all know how it is to get completely stuck and pray that there will be a kind soul out there that could assist.
Faithfully,
Felexion

I did find one solution, if I run Cinema Tools and conform the frame rate to 29.97 (which it is already strangly set it) it fixes everything. But to do this manually everytime is not ideal. I heard that this can be fixed if I set the frame rate to its exact rate. Is there any more exact number to 29.97? Like for instance I know after effects renders 23.98 when FCP takes 23.976 and thats big difference...
Any help would be appreciate!

Plugin 64bit for after effects

Hello
I have several problems with many plugins for After Effects. I read that the problem is that CS5 only work on updated versions. It 's a problem with Adobe, or should I contact suppliers plugin??

After Effects CS5 plugins must be updated to 64 bit versions to be used. For third party plugins, this is the responsibility of the third party companies that make the plugins, not Adobe.
You can view a list of third party plugins that have been upgraded for CS5 here. To acquire the updates, follow the links to individual vendors.

FCP + After Effects + Color Workflow Question

Forgive me if this is a naive question. I would like to know what is the best way to work between FCP, Color, and After Effects. This is the first project I'm working on that requires all three applications.
All my shots are done in DVCPro HD and imported into FCP. DVCPro is not really supported in Color so I learned that they should be converted to ProRes (right?). In Color I will be adding a vignette effect and color grading so I know it has to be last otherwise my texts and mattes in AE will look like they're on top of the video.
My problem with that is almost every shot will have an AE effect in it so it's easier to dump the whole timeline into AE using popcorn's XML script. But once I export it from AE and put it back into FCP it is one clip but color correction and effects has to be done differently for each clip and I can't do that in Color with the single AE clip I just rendered. So I'm kind of lost, is my only option to add effects in AE one clip at a time and return them to FCP?
Also am I right that Color only supports Apple ProRes? DVCPro HD hasn't worked so far.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
DP

Hello David.
Regarding your question about DVCPro HD support, it is supported as an Importable format, but Color cannot render out in DVCPro HD. Color supports ProRes across the board. Here's a list of supported formats:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/color/usermanual/index.html#chapter=4%26sectio n=9%26tasks=true
After Effects really isn't part of my normal workflow, so I can't really comment on it, other than I've had a lot of problems with 10.0.1 and ProRes. That problem has caused me to eliminate AE from any workflow that I use here.

Premiere and After effects no longer work after graphics card upgrade

So heres my problem. A week ago my gtx 295 died. So I got a new gtx 780 and new ram. After installing my new card and installing the latest drivers premier and after effects cs6 crash on the splash screen. Whats wierd is these are the only programs that crash. After effects cs4 works fine along with all my maya stuff. I reinstalled premier and it still crashes for some reason.
I'm running vista ultimate 64bit with the cs6 production suite. I do have some plugins on after effects including the trapcode suite amd optical flares.
Any tips?

graphik wizard,
The only thing I can think of is that Windows Vista is not one of the supported operating systems for Premiere Pro CS6. Only Windows 7 is listed. Is it possible to upgrade your OS?
Thanks,

Rendering twixtor in after effects

Hello, I am using the twixtor plugin in after effects. The RAM preview that displays is smooth, however, when I render the video, and i have tried several times with different settings, the playback is choppy. It appears that the media player cannot continuously play the video because the time cursor actually stops when the video does, causing the choppy playback. The video is about a minute long, but it rendered to be 10.2GB somehow. Is the large size the problem? Should I let After Effects guess how to interperate the footage? I have read on one somewhat related forum that it is a graphics card issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I suggest you have a look at this.
