Replacing computer screen in after effects

Hi,
Could anyone direct me to some resource to do the following:
I want to replace a green computer screen with a simulated content (like they do in phone advertisements)
However I'm having trouble correctly resizing/aligning/rotating my simulated images to correctly fit the computer screen.
How can I get the two on the same plane?

Here is what it looks like, I'm having a hard time trying to match the two planes in 3d space using the rotation tool. I imagine there might be a way to do this better than manually rotating my image, especially since both the mask I'm using and the graphic are rectangles.
That's the image I am trying to put in the computer:

  • Is it possible to view photos on a computer screen immediately after while I'm shooting.

    Is it possible to view photos on a computer screen immediately after while I'm shooting? I have the cord to attach camera to laptop, but have not been able to view until I do a download. My camera is a Rebel XT 350D.
    Thanks Terri

    It is possible. I do it at every shoot I do that involves big groups because the bigger screen (17" laptop) shows whether everyone is in a good pose. 
    It is called "tethered capture". I use Adobe Light Room 5. Attach a USB cable, start LR and select Tethered Capture. From there it is automatic and everything the camera sees, your laptop does. This method, which may not be the only way, also saves a copy to my laptop.
    There are also powered USB cables which allow you to move the laptop up to 70 feet away. If that was needed of course but active USB cable are good for shorter distances because they are more error free and very fast.
    BTW, LR5 is a pretty nice post processing, professional level, program for the rest of your image requirements.

  • Slow computer on opening After Effects CC

    Hello everyone,
    For about several months now I have a problem with my computer. Whenever I open a project in Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc. my computer does well. When I open After Effects everything is fine too, but at the moment when I open a project within AE, my computer starts to make noise (hard disks), and is suddenly slower. Now such a project can even be, just one title in a comp. It doesn't even have to be a big project.
    After I close After Effects, my computer is still slow for several minutes (~10 min.). I realize that in Premiere Pro. Playback doesn't go as smooth anymore, PPro and other applications freeze for several seconds somethimes, etc.
    Since my computer is only for work, it would surprice me if I have malware, spyware or virusses. I have done a scan and a defrag, but that didn't helped.
    This is my technical information:
    Windows 7 64bit
    Internal RAID5 (WD Caviar Black 7200 RPM) where I store all my project and work files on.
    SSD M4 for my OS where I have Adobe CC installed on.
    CPU: i7 3930K
    GPU: GTX580
    Memory: Crucial 32GB - DDR3 1.35v 1600Mhz
    Adobe CC, on the latest update.
    This computer is exactly one year old now.
    Now my question to the community is, if this is a comon problem? If this could be a bug within After Effects? (I have tried a reïnstall) Or are there any tools to scan/clean for such a problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jordy

    There was an After Effects-specific issue with odd slowness that others have reported. That is going to be fixed in the update that's coming in a couple of weeks (mid-October was the promised date). Hopefully that issue is the same as yours and the coming update solves it for you too.

  • "Replace with after effects composition" on Premiere gives me a empty AE project...

    I'm selecting and right clicking footage from my Premiere timeline, clicking "Replace with after effects composition", and getting a black, empty screen on After Effects.. There is no footage under Project in AE, and the footage I selected on Premiere also became black. .
    I'm using the CS5 version of both programs, and video clips from my 7D... What could be wrong?

    I am also having this problem.   It worked before but now it isn't   I did change to Windows 8 recently but I don't know why that would cause it.   Here are some pictures to show
    Premiere Pro CC and AE CC both updated today, both restared today.  You can see the footage is there and PP is reading it.  It is an MPEG2 file.  easy.
    Right Click on replace with after effect comp
    AE opens up and I create a new project
    Comp is blank.  No footage.  Lenght is correct though.
    If I tab back to Premiere the footage is gone and shows only black. 
    Please help.

  • After Effects CC Crashing Immediately After Splash Screen?

    Hey guys, installed cretive cloud recently with a full licence but most of the programs seem to crash straight away after the splash screen.  After Effects, Premier, Photoshop and Media Encoder all seem to do this.  Tried signing in, resigning in, uninstalling, using the adobe cleaner and re-install but still the same.  Any ideas why this might be   Thanks.
    OS:     Windows 7 64bit Home Premium (all updates installed)
    CPU:   Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz
    GPU:   NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 - GeForce 337.88 Driver
    RAM:  16 GB

    If you don't have any pressing projects, you could try completely wiping everything off and then reinstalling.
    It's just so odd...
    Perhaps Mylenium might have some ideas as he's more technically-minded than I.
    If you don't get any more good suggestions here, contacting Adobe Support isn't a bad idea.

  • Aspect Ratio issue when replacing a clip in Premiere CS6 with an After Effects CS6 Composition

    Please assist! When I attempt to right click on a clip in my Premiere timeline and replace it with an After Effects composition, I can do so, but problems ensue.
    After Effects will start up, but the composition will be in 4:3, even though the Premiere project and clip that I'm altering were both 16:9.
    I was able to change the aspect ratio to 16:9 in After Effects and then edit what I wanted, but an hour later when I had finsihed, saved, and gone back to Premiere, it had smushed the replaced clip into 4:3 within Premiere.
    So to reitterate:
    When I replace a clip in Premiere with an AE comp, AE opens in 4:3.
    I can change the AE comp to 16:9, but when I save and go back to Premiere, it has smushed the AE comp down to 4:3.
    What can I do to stop this?

    If you right click on the clip in the Project panel, then select Modify / Interpret Footage you will see a Pixel Aspect Ratio.
    What does it say?
    If it says 0.9091 then change it to 1.2121
    If it says something else, come back and let me know. I will then have a different answer for you.
    Also, what is the frame size of the video.

  • Vector Art Crashes After Effects CS3 Windows 7

    Hi there,
    I've noticed that AFX CS3 always crashes when I try to use Vector Art effects on Windows 7.  I'm able to turn on the effect, but when I start painting, it always crashes after a few seconds.  Any idea how to prevent this crash? I love vector art.
    thanks..

    Solved this problem on my computer by running After Effects in compatibility mode.
    My setup is different than the original post, but hopefully it will help someone else.
    Here's my problem and how I fixed it...
    System: Windows Vista
    After Effects CS4
    Vector Paint
    After drawing a a third small line, AfterFX would lock up and the screen would go semi transparent. Turning Open GL settings didn't help.
    Closed AfterFX, and righ-clicked on the After Effects shortcut.  Chose Properties->Shortcut tab->Compatibility->Checked "Run this program in compatibily mode for "Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
    All other settings left unchecked.
    Hit OK.
    Relaunch AfterFX and the Vector Paint effect works great now!

  • After Effects Freezes On Startup (Windows Vista 64-Bit)

    I have been trying to get After Effects to work but it doesn't open. I have never opened it before. All the Computer Requirements check out. The loading screen for After Effects opens and all it says is "Initializing MediaCore." I saw another thread that said that if you closed "Adobe QT32 Server.exe" before opening After Effects, it should work, but I don't see that in the Task Manager. I assume that is because I am on a PC, not a Mac, but I mentioned it anyway, just in case. Please help! I have a project that I need done in two weeks but I need After Effects to finalize the project!

    My version of After Effects is CS 5.5, the newest version. My system specs are as follows:
    Processor:     Intel Core 2 CPU          4400 @ 2GHz
    Memory (RAM):     4.00
    Operating System: 64-Bit
    This is the only useful info I found under Control Panel => System.
    What else do you need to know? Any more info I would be happy to provide.
    Also, even though I have never opened it (and therefore never changed/saved the preferences), would deleting the preferences still help?

  • I am trying to install after effects, but no matter what version I try to download, there is always a different error not allowing me to open or use the program after I have already installed it.

    I have recently repurposed an iMac from late 2009 as an editing machine, and have been trying to install preferably After Effects CS6.  When I install and try to open it for the first time, the program quits unexpectedly and continues to do the same every time I try to reopen the program.  After no luck experimenting trying to fix the problem, I attempted to download the trial of After Effects CC 2014 to see if the problem was with the computer or with the application.  After installing CC, there was another error when I attempted to open it.  My final attempt was taking After Effects CS5 from an old hard-drive and attempting to open it on the iMac.  When I open CS5 I am greeted with another error message telling me to reinstall After Effects.  After reinstalling I get the same message. 
    I am confused to whether my computer can handle After Effects, or there is another error occurring.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Problems with After Effects CC & OSX Mavericks AFTER installing 12.01 Patch

    Ok, let me give the details. Everything working perfectly previously. Update to OSX Mavericks this morning, (had read about the issues), predictably After Effects wouldn't open. I then applied the 12.01 patch as directed by Adobe. I now get this error message, and After Effects won't open. It attempts to, gets to this same spot, then crashes.
    I want to re-iterate that my whole rig was working fine until this so it is definitely related to this update. I have already tried reinstalling patch, resttarting computer, and updating Cuda driver. I have too many plugins, pressets, and scripts to just willy nilly reinstall After Effects as a "let's see if that works". I am on my work computer and need After Effects to work.
    Info on system:
    Mac Pro Mid 2010 Worksatation
    OSX 10.9 (now, updated this morning)
    2x2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

    ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics

    I disabled my firewall, but still got this error Not sure what it means at all, also not sure how to configure the firewall to not block dynamiclink. I am using Handsoff on Mac and All adobe connection requests and all dynamiclink requests are allowed so I don't know what else to know, although it seems to not be the whole problem. Might not even be the real problem as now I have this new error

  • Transferring from After Effects

    I am trying to key out a green screen using After Effects.  The program itself does a better job with the footage I am using than FCP.  After I finish my work I am having trouble importing the footage back into a file that FCP can read.  Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how I could export from After Effects into a file that FInal Cut can read or is there a possible direct way to send that footage to FCP.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    There are two ways to do this, use ProRes4444 or use the Animation codec. Open up the help system that comes with AE and look up how to set your rendering (not exporting) queue to produce a movie that contains the alpha channel.

  • Audio Troubles wiz after effect composition file throught encore.

    So i run the CS3 master collection. Got a server dual core xeon 3ghz,4GB of ram and a 7800 GT Geforce video card.
    My trouble started when i wanted to make a commercial DVD for some customers.
    Been creating and editing videos assets, animated menus in after effects(i kept low setting to be sure i would have enought ram memory to run it then in encore. Until there everything was fine.
    The nightmare started when i had to compile all of this in Encore.
    The DVD by itself including menus, transitions and video footage are supposed to be 2.9 GB once the asset are transcoded (DVD is not even full).
    Now it took me an insane amount of time before i could render some preview version of it. After running computer all nite long, finally get it burn, but keep on being freezed for long time when it came to get files transcoded in the building process.
    Anyway after getting dvd burned, went to check on it and some part of the dvd, (video assets mainly) had missing soundtrack, or get soundtrack from transition assets.
    So now i am extremly frustrated and ********* at Adobe, don t know what to do. Even think that Adobe Dynamic Link is the biggest joke ever... Can t even run after effects and encore together... So when they said on the CS3 master collection box that requirement needed is 1 to 2 GB of ram, i cannot beleive it.
    For now the CS3 master collection might work on the paper but not on my computer...
    Anyway if anyone would have the same audio problems and found a solution to it plz share it. It would save me from angry customers...
    Cheers.
    Arno.

    So tried to render the project by taking off one RAM stick from the computer (renaming my after effects files and redoing my encore composition also with an other name) and did work (still did it with vista business as the OS tho, because I ve seen Neil's post to late and already format the computer , couldn't be bother to redo it to put an xp version :p ).
    Cheers for that.
    By the way I did READ the system requirements and they say : "Microsoft windows xp with sp2 OR windows vista home premium, BUSINESS, ultimate, or enterprise"... after I reckon they also say "certified for 32-bits editions" but if it not 100% certified for 64-bits edition why do they put Vista business on it ???
    It's also right on the box : "more RAM recommended when running multiple components". Anyway I m not a computer specialist, and obviously differents setting must work better than others. Also, I won't take my computer retailer advice for granted anymore because they tried to make me buy heaps of components to run it when finally it wasn't a matter of boosting the computer...
    Anyway thanks you all for your support, it's been precious, really appreciate it, I am now an happy Adobe customer again :)
    PS: To come back at my initial sound troubles, it vanished when I renamed my After effects compo and redo my encore project.
    Cheers,
    Arno.
