Smooth render/new to after effects plz help

Hey everyone,
Hope you guys can help me out. Im so fed up with my situation.
I have older 720 x 576 video avi clips that I wanna use.
I use the same source fps to render it, same size(best settings) and after it's rendered, the video doesn't look that smooth. It looks like its slower almost. If I watch original movie it's do much smoother and faster looking in a way.
Can somebody tell me the exact settings I must have to render it as smooth as possible.
720 x 576 25fps avi
Thanx guys:)
Werner

Hi,
thanx so much for answering my question. appreciate it.
i saw that only certain render formats have option where you can choose codecs. is that what you mean by codecs? the only thing i have is copy the source 25fps, 720 x 576 and rendered it as avi.
i want to import the footage that i render in after effects to premiere sometimes. dont know what format is the best.
thanx again for all the help
werner.

  • New to After Effects - need help with text manipulation!

    Hi all, I'm new to AE and this forum and I'm looking for some advice. I've been asked by the boss at work to create a short video clip, around 10-15 seconds, where text is displayed on the screen (3 words), after the few seconds, I want a 'forging' noise to happen and the final word in the text to be changed to another word and have a metallic effect applied, similar to the effect in this tutorial:
    Create Hot Metallic Text in After Effects - After Effects - macProVideo.com Hub
    Will this be difficult to do and do you guys think a complete beginner like myself can do it? I've got a lot of experience with the likes of PS, so I'm not too shy with Adobe software.
    Thanks,
    John

    As you begin your career of using AE, you will change your vocabulary. Overlay will be replaced with spatial references like in front or behind.
    Designing text with surface styles like chrome or metal is not difficult. You can even import them from Photoshop if you have some PS chops or friends who can do it quickly.
    TEXT ONE can be easily replaced with TEXT TWO in any of dozens of different ways but to drop TWO in front of ONE is easy, you're just setting position keyframes. The finesse of animation, though, lies in the illusion of motion, exaggeration, overshooting and recoil. Your TWO could fall and squish and rebound and bounce or it could raise a dust cloud as it hits or it could make the camera wiggle. These are the things that separate simple key framing from animation and motion graphics.

  • New to Adobe After Effects pls HELP

    Just wondering if anyone knows of a way (dont care how hard i will learn) to wipe a layer of video away but have it animated at the same time, kind off like a watery wipe away so maybe part of the video drips or something. just wondering if this is even possible.
    your help is much appreciated
    Sam

    One way to do a wipe like that is to use a flowing liquid animation (or stock footage) as a track matte, for one layer to reveal the layer underneath.
    Here's a downloadable project for a nice watercolor wipe that you can pick apart to see how it's done:
    http://chriszwar.com/wordpress/2009/02/watercolour-wipe-revised-updated/
    Since you're new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you start here and work your way through the basics. Doing so will prevent a lot of frustration.

  • How to do a very smooth slo-mo in after effects

    How do a very smooth slo-mo in after effects....please help i really need this.....tnx

    1) The Effect Way
    Take you clip and drag in onto the new composition icon
    Enter the composition settings
    Set it to twice its current length
    Exit Comp settings
    Drag THAT composition onto a new composition and go to FX>Time and drag TimeWarp onto the layer.
    If you use the default settings your clip will become half speed.
    Please refer to the Manual to understand the parameters.
    Now render your movie out.
    2) The up to double or tripple Fps way
    Drag your clip onto the new composition icon
    Let us assume that your clip is i.e. 29.97
    Enter the composition settings and set Frames Per Second to either the double or triple amount of the current clip's Fps.
    Extend the length of your composition accordingly.
    Exit composition settings
    Enable Frame Blending and make sure you set it to pixel motion.
    Render the video out (make sure the frame rate is set to that of the composition)
    After rendering out, import the movie again which is now either 59.94 or 89.91 (Depending on double or tripple)
    Select it and choose (right-click) interpret footage - in the dialog select your original FPS - in this case 29.97
    Exit out of interpret footage dialog
    Now drag it on to a new comp icon. It will play back in nice slow motion
    PLEASE, refer to manual on Pixel motion etc along with any other term you dont understand.
    To get optimum and best results you would typically want to use a combination of both above scenarios.
    But that would be too much right now... Given that you are inexperienced in creating SM....
    Experiment with it and in no time you will have marvelous SM.
    Hope this helps

  • Help menu help loads After Effects 7 Help

    Using Golive CS2, when I go to the help menu and choose Golive Help, After Effects 7 help opens instead, with a dropdown menu that has no listing for Golive Help. I just reinstalled Golive CS2, the update, and a help update to no effect.

    First, ensure you have the latest help centre and Golive Help package:
    Help Centre 2.1:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3171
    Help Package: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3091
    *Ensure the file GoLive_8.0_en-us.zip is in the Adobe Help
    Centre\AdobeHelpdata\Packages folder.*
    There are a couple of Techdocs relating to the Help Centre:
    331717 Help window doesn't appear when you start Adobe Help Center
    (Windows XP, 2000)
    http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331717.html
    319210 Adobe Help Center is missing content or returns the error, "The
    topic you want to view applies to a CS2 product you have not installed."
    http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/319210.html
    If those don't help:
    1. Try deleting the Help Preference file by holding down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT
    whilst starting Help.
    2. Assuming ahc.exe is located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center,
    delete the following folders
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData\Cache
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData\Database
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData\Preferences
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData\Search
    The only folder under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help Center\AdobeHelpData
    you should have left is one called packages.
    Run ahc.exe
    What should happen is that your help centre database should get rebuilt
    (you will see progress messages as it process each help package) and
    everything should work.

  • What's new in After Effects CS5

    Here it is:
    "What's new in After Effects CS5"

    > -Still no real 3D or ability to import 3D-files without Photoshop. The
    experiences with Photoshop import were not very good with CS4 and I
    didn't read about any work done on that in the change list. I hope I'm
    wrong on this one!
    There has been quite a lot of work to improve stability, but the overall feature is the same in After Effects. Because Photoshop has some additions, you can make more useful things in Photoshop, so overall it's an improvement. See this post.
    -I was really really hoping that this would be implemented in  AE CS5 http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/videoenhancement/videoEnhancement.htm After all, there is an adobe employee involved with project. So this  was a bit disappointing for me, but I guess I just have to wait a bit  longer.
    I was really annoyed at all of the YouTube videos that said that was going to be in CS5. It just goes to show that you can't believe what you see on the Internet. ;-)
    Seriously, though, those folks are just down the hall from me, and they are always doing great stuff---much of which eventually makes it into products. Several of the cool features from this and previous release have come in part from them. So, don't lose hope.

    Select the country in which the iPhone was originally sold:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
    You'll find a link to the carrier on whose pages you can probably find contact information.
    As RG said, only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. That is the only "way out". To have an iPhone that was "factory unlocked", you would have had to purchase it that way.

  • New PC, downloaded CC 2014. Flash not showing up as option to rip in Adobe Media Encoder or in After Effects. Help?

    Why is .flv not an option in Adobe Media Encoder or Adobe After Effects?
    Also, when Adobe Captivate converts the video it looses the Alpha channel.
    Help

    Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. Knowing this isn't possible at least narrows my options down. It would be helpful to provide some kind of list of what comp settings carry over into AME from After Effects. Is it essentially everything that is enabled in the Timeline? (I know that motion blur settings do.)
    I'll put this in a feature request, but yes, we need the other half of After Effects Render Queue in AME in order for AME to be a good replacement for rendering from AE. I'll give you my thoughts on why Render Settings are essential before you would actually want to render with AME instead of doing so because you have to (either because you want to render in the background, or need a codec that has been removed from AE.)
    1. Speed: Simply applying a Render Settings preset is much faster than manually setting motion blur, frame blending, work area, etc.
    2. Reliability: Not being able to apply a Render Settings preset at the time of render is a recipe for missing a crucial setting buried in a comp, then having to redo a render and wasting time.
    3. Features: As noted above, there is no way to approximate Render Queue's ability to change resolutions at render, which results in a lot of wasted time when that feature is needed.
    Render Settings I think are crucial to making AME rendering worthwhile for AE users:
    1. Rendering resolution
    2. Work Area/Entire Composition toggle
    3. Field Rendering (wait, does this mean AME can't currently render to fields?)
    4. And PRESET ability these settings, so I'm not doing them manually every time.
    I realize that your team clearly doesn't spend the same amount of time I do making low res H264 previews and sending final files out in H264 format, so you don't appreciate the impact of the changes you made. Moving to AME for that stuff is a real inconvenience, but implementing the settings above could help soften the blow.
    Thanks,

  • Matte made with rotobrush is different in output than it is in After Effects? Help Please.

    I ran into this issue last night when I made a matte with a rotobrush. Everything looks perfect when I scrub through and even go frame by frame, but when I export it I get this issue where there seems to be "extra" matte that is cutting off something in the scene by putting the background on top of it (this is what the intentional matte is supposed to do, but not in the frames where it keeps showing up).
    I'm using AE CS6 (trial version) with the latest updates. The source footage is h264 (originally AVCHD intelaced, deinterlaced using premiere pro before importing into after effects). The output is h264. Has anyone seen this before? and can you offer any advice on what to check?
    Other possibly important info is that there are 3 different rotobrush mattes on 3 different layers. One covers everything, another covers things half way "through" the scene (3D), but gets covered by closer things, and the last one is for when the camera gets to the other side of the subjects.
    So far I've checked:
    -The matte itself.
    -Made sure I drew the matte with the rotobrush at full res.
    Any quick help would be greatly appreciated because the deadline for the video I'm working on is tonight. (Sept 12th).

    some thoughts/questions
    I would...
    use the original footage, no need to deinterlace first, interpret footage correctly, precomp if required. maybe at twice frame rate to compensate for the inter field movement...
    though I agree transcoding to pro res makes it easier, the right set up can cope with native footage.
    I would put a bright colour solid guide layer underneath to check where holes in the matte could be being disguised by the background colour.
    Check for after effects nightmare premultiplication of layers and maybe change layer mode to alpha add in case overlapping edges are causing unwanted transparency.
    always render out to an RGB codec as AE is rgb based, then compress in AME...
    ALways work at full res, full size.
    MANUALLY delete the cache folders as you can quite often be looking at old and corrupt caches.
    I have ioFX cards which really help the smoothness of roto...

  • 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.

  • How to change render resolution of After Effects project in Adobe Media Encoder for an H264 preview?

    I'd like to render a 1080i comp at half resolution or third resolution in AME to speed up render times for low-res previews. I just had a low-res H264 preview take 5 minutes to encode in AE, and 28 minutes in AME.
    This is easily accomplished in the After Effects render settings. However, the "video" option in AME seems to imply the project is encoded at that resolution, not rendered at it.
    I went into AE and changed the setting in the composition viewport to "half", but when I queue it up in AME, the "Match Source" button still indicates 1080.
    What is the correct method to get the results I want?
    I'm currently using AE CC and AME CC on Windows.

    Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. Knowing this isn't possible at least narrows my options down.

  • Can't see vray render elements in after effects.

    Not too sure where to post this so i'm placing it in various forums, I'm working with 3Ds Max 2011, Vray 1.5 sp5 and After Effects CS4.
    I want to save a render with various render elements such as zdepth, material and object ID etc all saved into a single .exr file so i can bring animations into After Effects and do DOF changes and colour changes quickly. The problem is that if i render the image and do a manual save as an exr it won't show any of the vray render elements when i bring it into AE.
    If i set it to auto save as a Vray raw image but change the extension from vrimg to exr then it saves all the render elements but I lose the 'save as exr' dialogue box where i can chose bit depth and compression type.
    If I render the image and save manually as an exr then i have all that but it won't save vray render elements, after using extractor the screen is just black.
    In short i just want to be able to 'save as' an .exr and be able to see my render elements in the render, i've posted some screen caps below to show everything is as should be, any help is appreciated.
    All elements present in render window
    All elements active and selected in .exr save window.
    After effects recognises the channels on import
    Extractor recognises the channels
    But the screen is black afer using extractor, the layer is in there as can be seen when it's moved out of position

    fnordware, thanks i've put the files on megaupload, the links are below. i tried doing an auto save as you suggested but to no avail, as i say it will work if i tell max to save as a vray raw image and just change the extension but not as a simple 'save as'.
    I've simplified these files, they should only have an rgb, an alpha and a zdepth. Anything you can give me will be much appreciated.
    Raw image with ext change (works)
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X2256DGR
    'save as' (does not work)
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CLW6GHT2
    By the way i don't have the proexr plugin if that makes any difference but i think that's just to be able to see and select the channels like photoshop layers.

  • After Effects crashing HELP

    I have After Effects CS6 and I have a file running. I have 6 comps going in that file due to small animation clips for a big project. I have them set up and literally almost to render. But now every time I load it up, comp 3 loads up. I click comp 2 and 1 they work! If it pick comp 4,5 or 6 it tells me that AE has crashed and I can save before the crash. I really REALLY need these to work. I'm freaking out due to I have this project and its literally due like Tuesday. Please help me. I'm really worried and stressed!
    errors, including ae.blitpipe
    That link is the actual error I am having. I'm doing updates but I'm still freaked and hoping it fixes the issue with my update! >_<
    Update didn't fix my issue. Now I'm really freaked! >_<

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like exact project information or the crash logs. You are losing yourself in vague and generalized statments.
