Stretch all footage with a comp

I am sure I have seen the answer to this before, but can't find it for the life of me! Did a short animation and now the client wants it to be longer and to add a few things in the middle. Problem is it's only a five second comp, now it may be 30 seconds, and everything in it is nested comps. So when I make the final comp 30 seconds, I then have to go into each comp and layer and make each of them longer. This will take a while....any way to just run a script or something and say I want everything used by this comp to be 30 seconds.....
this is not a simple time re-map, I have different elements that are keyed to certain events, and they will have to shift in time to be right.
TIA,
C

>Is there one to insert time BEFORE frame 0?
AE does not support negative time ranges, but you should be able to get everything you desire by using rd_Shifter from the same site to shift your items "to the right" and gain freedom near the comp start.

  • Replace all footage with different format

    Hi All,
    So I am aware about like changing some files by like renamming or moving the folder and opening the project and then pointing it to the new directory/whatever and that works great.
    I am helping out a friend who does sound who's client is a mess and I need to figure out a fast way to fix this.
    Long story short the poor kid shot on a redcam but had everything converted to .mov 720x480 files and edited in premiere elements. Well... The sound guy can't get an OMF from there so I took everything and imported it into premiere pro and started fixing a couple bits up and exported the OMF. Now I found out that the kid still has the R3D files. so I would like to replace every .mov and .mp4 file in this project to the r3d of the same name with just the r3d extension.
    Meaning when I tried to move the other files and start replacing i had to manually locate each r3d and that would take forever...
    I want to change the files to the much better quality ones, setup a proper sequence, keep his edits, and then speedgrade it for him but I am not willing to invest the time of manually replacing each file.
    any ideaS?

    Hi Jim,
    I moved all the R3Ds (that's all he has, not other files associated to it) into the same folder so they are together, and that did not work
    I feel bad for this kid as he has invested and is trying to do something, but doesn't know how. I may end up doing it the long way.

  • I have a sequence on tcp that is Standard Def. I have a new set of files in High Def that match the old files. I would like to replace all the SD footage with the HD footage. Anyone know of a workflow to do this task?

    I have a sequence on tcp that is Standard Def. I have a new set of files in High Def that match the old SD files. I would like to replace all the SD footage with the HD footage. Anyone know of a workflow to do this task?

    Do a media manage of the sequence converting the files to the appropriate HD format making the clips offline.  Then simply reconnect the offline clips to the HD clips.  There may be issues in the file names, but they can usually be worked out either with the naming options in media manager or renaming your hd files.  There are many utilities that allow you to batch rename files.

  • Photoshop in the wake of Origami - Interaction design control with Layer Comps? We need this. That is all.

    It'd be nice if we had some more utility with layer comps. They're still a standard workflow for a lot of designers, QC/Origami is difficult to learn, especially for an entire team to get up to speed on. Is there a chance Adobe will ever integrate something like this (video export) of layer comp flows? Or is there something currently that I'm missing?

    If this is supposed to be a Feature Request please post over on
    Photoshop Family Customer Community
    And you may want to explain what "QC/Origami" is exactly.
    Also if this is concerns video editing/creation you may want to look into proper video editing software.

  • Syncing footage with music track issue in Premiere Pro CC

    My experience with Premiere Pro is still limited to basic editing. Recently I've been asked to help out a friend to edit a music video. I've done this before in Final Cot Pro X but decided to switch due to the integration of Adobe CC.
    The issue I am facing is that all footage that has been shot is delivered to me at 23.976 fps but with the audio playing faster. The audio track after importing is being played back at 29.97 fps and plays at normal speed.
    The solution I have found so far is to slow down each clip to 80% so it matches the original audio track. This is not ideal I found out while editing, so it would be better to have each clip rendered to its original state of 29.97 fps.
    After some more research I discovered that it is possible to re-render each clip to its original speed in After Effects, and even apply frame blending. Then import all back in Premiere Pro.
    My question is if the road I am following here is the correct one.
    Thank you!

    by reducing the speed in the timeline, i think it does the same thing as forcing interpret footage. the difference is by changing it in the bin before starting, you can change all clips at once. just make sure to set the sequence fps to the final output fps, not matching the changed fps of clips.  you can also right click the footage on the timeline and choose frame blend, but i think it ends up doing the same thing as the export option you are using. the difference on the timeline is you can see the frame blend while editing. AE is extremely slow and might not look any better, so where u are on deadline, forget about it.  so in premiere i think frame blend on vs off is your only real option to change the behavior of the slow-mo.
    the slow mo trick is nice for music videos, but yeah, for best results the camera needs to be sped up with the song on set. then in post both are slowed back down, replacing the song/audio with the original song at normal speed. 23.976 or 29.97 are both acceptable in NTSC usa land.  23.976 has gotten alot of attention as the "film look" since it has more motion blur, while 29.97 has a cleaner video look. below are some numbers i found somewhere and kept. so if the final render fps is known, can choose the correct shooting fps for on set with matching sped up or slowed down music.  the italic values would be used to end up with sped up footage, while the Bold values would be used for slo-motion effect. i haven't used these but the numbers look right. he could have shot at 29.97(30) fps and slowed it down to 23.976 in post to get the 80% slow-mo.
    For an NTSC/US, using a 24p timebase, for the following frame rates, adjust the song speed to:
    12 fps: make song last 1.956x longer by stretching it to 51.1% speed
    18 fps: make song last 1.333x longer by stretching it to 75.0% speed
    20 fps: make song last 1.226x longer by stretching it to 81.6% speed
    22 fps: make song last 1.067x longer by stretching it to 93.7% speed
    26 fps: make song last 0.907x as long as normal; play it at 110.25% speed
    30 fps: make song last 0.800x as long as normal; play it at 125% speed
    32 fps: make song last 0.747x as long as normal; play it at 133.87% speed
    36 fps: make song last 0.672x as long as normal; play it at 148.81% speed
    48 fps: make song last 0.498x as long as normal; play it at 200.80% speed
    60 fps: make song last 0.400x as long as normal; play it at 250.00% speed
    For an NTSC/US,  using a 30p timebase, for the following frame rates, adjust the song speed to:
    12 fps: make song last 2.445x longer by stretching it to 40.91% speed
    18 fps: make song last 1.667x longer by stretching it to 60.00% speed
    20 fps: make song last 1.533x longer by stretching it to 65.23% speed
    22 fps: make song last 1.333x longer by stretching it to 75.01% speed
    24 fps: make song last 1.250x as long as normal; play it at 80.00% speed
    26 fps: make song last 1.134x as long as normal; play it at 88.22% speed
    32 fps: make song last 0.933x as long as normal; play it at 107.14% speed
    36 fps: make song last 0.840x as long as normal; play it at 119.05% speed
    48 fps: make song last 0.622x as long as normal; play it at 160.73% speed
    60 fps: make song last 0.500x as long as normal; play it at 200.00% speed

  • Black jagged edges appear on footage with Avid DNxHD codec

    Hello,
    Currently I'm editing some GoPro footage from my vacation, and I'm editing this video in Premiere and After Effects.
    When I was done editing in Premiere and exported the video as a Quicktime movie with the Avid DNxHD codec, I brought it in to After Effects.
    The project in After Effects is a 16 bpc since I have to dynamically stretch the footage to make it fit in a 1080p comp (doesn't have to do with this, but the point is, I have to edit in 16 bpc in order to stretch my footage). Now the problem is, I get weird black blocks around my clipped highlights, and this only happens in 16 or 32 bpc.
    Here's a screen shot I took from it:
    Gyazo - 549356228a841d35b781c05c2b41011b.png
    I don't know a lot about codecs and I have no idea how to solve this, so my question is: How do I get rid of these black blocks while still maintaining this 16 bits per channel?
    It would be great if anyone could give me the answer .
    Jeroen

    I just came up with a solution myself. In Premiere, change in the DNxHD codec settings from ''709'' to ''RGB''.
    When you bring it into AE again, it won't have the black edges anymore.
    However, I don't really know what this does to the quality of the video, but there's not a noticable difference.

  • Match Footage with Sequence Preset?

    I got some problem with matching my imported footage with my Sequence Presets. I'm new to
    Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have tried to read me to a solution here on the forum but need some more help.
    I have found some similar topics and can confirm that my problem is most likely caused by a mismatch between my Sequence settings and the source.
    Can someone maybe guide me through the sequese presets step by step and the general specs as well to create a good editing base for my project.
    I read that G-Spot was a good tool to get all info of the source file and here´s the source file properties I would like to match:
    I want the best possible quality out of my filmed footage, booth video and audio but I don't really know how to match those settings.
    I really appreciate all help I can get here.

    Welcome to the forum.
    One should go about this in the opposite direction - matching the Sequence Preset to the footage.
    It looks like you have PAL Widescreen, and that would be the Preset to choose.
    If one has odd footage, PrPro provides a way to alter the Sequence Preset - the Desktop Preset, which allows one to customize most attributes to match. Say that you have that same footage, except that it was shot at 18 FPS (not the normal 25 FPS), in the Desktop Preset, you could change to 18 FPS. That holds for more attributes.
    Then, if one wants something else, when the Export, most formats/CODEC's will allow them to make the change there.
    Starting with a Preset that matches the footage 100% will give the best editing experience, and the fewest issues.
    One note: you are dealing with MPEG-2 footage, so it has already been pretty heavily compressed, resulting in an initial loss in quality. With most Export options, one will compress that footage again, resulting in another loss in quality. The ultimate workflow would be to go back to before the MPEG-2 compression, if at all possible. If not, then one just has to live with the quality loss.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps,
    Hunt
    [Edit] I see that you have AC3 Audio. That might, or might not pose an issue. What exact version of PrPro do you have? With about CS4.2, AC3 Audio support was built into the program. Before that, one had to find the AC3 .dll file in Encore, and copy it over to the main PrPro folder. The exact name of that .dll file depends on the version of PrPro and Encore, that one has.

  • APPCC crashes on queue export to AME with AE comp links

    I am experiencing crashes every time I try to export sequences to the AME queue that contain after effects composition links. It does not seem to make any difference if the sequences are rendered or not.
    i7
    GTX770
    16gb RAM
    1TB/500G SSDs
    APPCC 2014.2

    The format I had tried are H.264. In the AME preview its black too. How do you do a reinstall of After Effects CC? Will that affect my trial?
    Go to the Applications/Adobe After Effects CC folder and double-click on the Uninstall Adobe After Effects CC shortcut. Reinstalling should not have an affect on your trial period, as long as you remain signed in to Creative Cloud on that computer.
    Before doing that, though, please post a screenshot of 1) your AE comp, 2) the AME queue with that comp loaded, and 3) the Export Settings dialog for that comp.
    You should also try resetting the preferences for both AE and AME. The top of this page has instructions for AE; I recommend deleting the files manually instead of using the keyboard shortcuts. AME's preferences files are in a similar location. Mind that the user Library folder is hidden on recent versions of Mac OS.  (After Effects CC is version 12.0, and AME CC is version 7.0.)
    Another question is since I have CS6 and CC programs can I remove CS6 AME and streamline everything into AME CC? Since its a duplication of programs taking up disk space.
    In order to properly remove AME CS6 you would need to remove all CS6 applications that reference it (in your case, Flash Pro CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6). Please note that you should always use the uninstaller applications; don't try to throw the applications in the trash, which will cause problems if you later need to reinstall.

  • 7mins long 1080p footage with transparency placed over webcams image

    Dear All,
    I'm working on a flash project, where a 7 minutes long 25fps hd footage (at the moment as a PNG sequence) placed over a webcam's image. Importing the png sequence went all right so far, but when I'm importing the last scene (last 2000 frames) Flash crashes. I guess it's because I've run out of memory (I have 32GB).
    Does anybody know a way to
    A - import HQ footage with transparency (is there a codec that has alpha and works well with flash)
    B - to increase an FLV's max bitrate
    C - easily import a large amount of HD images (with transparency) without creating a 30+ gigabyte FLA file
    Thank you in advance!

    b (It took an hour to render a 6 min song. Is this normal, even though I've such a fast processor??)
    With the number and type of filters you said you've added, that length of time doesn't sound out of the ballpark.
    b I then placed the widescreen mask over the top of the nest. (FCP will only allow a max of 2min worth of graphics, so I copied it 3 times to fit over the whole song)
    FCP has a wide screen matte filter that can be found in the EFFECTS tab in the Browser. It works by cropping the picture and the width and border (if needed) can be varied. You just drag it and drop it on top of the clip or nest in question.
    b I then placed the widescreen mask over the top of the nest. I didn't have to render the mask and it played back fine. Unfortunately at each point where the mask met it caused a jump in frame on the nested track below.
    You may have been able tyo watch the effect in real time, but it still needs rendering to play back 100% properly. The jumps you were seeing were most likely artifacts of RT viewing and would most likely have not been there after a COMPLETE render.
    b A friend of mine has suggested exporting a Quick Time ref clip (not self contained) then importing it back into FCP.
    This is one way of working and consolidants everything into one file. As long as you import this into a new sequence and keep your original, you can still rebuild anything you want by going back to the original sequence.
    Finally, If you are doing any colour correction at all, you should be looking at a properly setup broadcast monitor to see what you are doing. Using the computer screen as a reference for colour is going to leave you very dissapointed when you view the final output on a television screen.
    Good Luck

  • Replacing footage with image sequence

    Hi,
       I was wondering if anyone knew how to replace footage with an image sequence. It seems like when I choose replace footage and navigate to my image sequence there is nothing I am able to check off for image sequence. So basically if I have an image sequence in my timeline, I can only replace it with a movie which defeats the purpose of using an image sequence. Thanks in advance!

    You need to have a single directory filled with one or more supported still images which are named with a number a the end for the 'Image Sequence' checkbox to be un-grayed out in the 'Import', 'Replace Footage' or 'Locate Files' dialog. From the screenshot above, it looks like you've met all those criteria and that the checkbox is not even there, as opposed to being present but dim. On windows 8 (which it looks like you're on) that checkbox would be in between the 'File Name' label and the bottom of the file list area. The fact that you're not there makes me think your on an older version before we had all the relevant features. I'd have to check to remember just when that would have been, but I know that as of CS6 the 'Image Sequence' dialog was definitely there for the Locate Files and Import dialogs, so it's reasonable that it was an option in the replace footage dialog too. It may be something system specific which is not allowing all the UI to draw in correctly when using OS dialogs. In that case, Kevin's suggestion might still be viable since the Link & Locate workflow uses its own Premiere UI instead of OS dialogs.

  • Capturing HD footage with the Sony J-H3

    I'm trying to capture 1080i/59.94 footage with a Sony J-H3 through firewire. I edited the capture preset for "DVCPRO HD - 1080i60 48 kHz" to have 59.94 FPS, 100% quality, and three different compression settings: none, uncompressed 10-Bit 4:2:2, and DVCPRO HD 1080i60. All of them were soft & pixellated. The DVCPRO HD 1080i60 setting was probably the worst, but the other two weren't much better. What kind of capture settings do I need to get nice crisp HD movs?

    Not as HD, no. DVCPRO HD is a Panasonic format, and only the DVCPRO HD decks output that format via firewire. Sony's firewire HD format is HDV, but that is COMPLETELY different than HDCAM. No...if you look at the back of the deck, you will note that in that area of connections, it specifically states "DV."

  • Losing footage with JVC- HD100 upon capture

    Okay,
    Having a nightmare of a problem. We shot a feature on the JVC HD100 at 720p at 30fps which is the way that FCP and JVC say it should work. We are able to capture most footage well, BUT the footage keeps getting cut up into new clips MID-SHOT! Not only that, but each time it is clipped, it loses 4 seconds of footage. This happens sometimes in the same places, sometimes in random places, and sometimes not at all. Out of 40 tapes we successfully captured 2 tapes without this problem (one of which gave us a world of trouble the first time we captured it, and then didn't have any problems the second time). We also tried using these same tapes on a deck and the problem continued. We shot on 2 different types of stock, from 3 different stores, are editing on a spanking new G5 Quad Core computer with the latest FCP 5 version we can find. We also tested it on 2 other computers-- one G5 Quad at an Apple store, and a G4 laptop and the problem persisted. The timecode does not appear to skip, and if you play the footage back on a monitor it looks great and has no problems. We've switched every possible cable, made sure we didn't bump the equipment during capturing, switched power sources, switched Firewire cables and ports, prayed over it, cast demons out, etc etc etc. Apple and JVC are stumped. Any solutions? Anybody having the same problem? Any recommendations what to do if this is a camera issue?

    glowingnose
    Same here, last year When we upgrade to FCP studio, it happen to all footages which from JVC camera: 500, 5000 & 5100, even we use sony dsr-11/40 work as a feeding VTR, our tapes is just like yours no visual artifect nor broken TC. but it just stop or losen data or footage, before that I mean in fcp2&3 the capture is perfect both batch mode or live mode....
    I knew there were many technical difficult along this migration, but come on how long do we have to wait... it has been a year?
    glowingnose, don't get me wrong if you are up for deadline, I'll suggest go find other NLE solution...

  • How to Replace Footage with an AVCHD .MTS?

    I have a sequence edited together from what I thought was a master H264 M4V.  I now find out that the real master is AVCHD. So how can I replace my M4V footage with an MTS?
    If I do a Replace Footage, I can see multiple AVCHD MTS Streams and the usual mess of folders inside a BDMV folder, but I seem to only be able to import via Media Browser. Replace Footage doesn't work with files already in Premiere, right?
    I've only worked with AVCHD files once before, so I'm a little lost.

    Jim,  I'm sure we've had this discussion before..... but it's not the fault of either the camera makers OR Mac users    Since I'm now using both Mac and Windows 7 equally, I really have no axe to grind against either company.
    This is entriely the fault of Microsoft who were unwilling to license NTFS to other companies, including Apple, Linux etc, added to the fact that NTFS is not suitable for lower powered devices with small amounts of embedded RAM.  NTFS is simply too complicated for them to handle using small microcontrollers, so hoping for NTFS on cameras is folly in my mind.  It's just not going to happen.
    Apple, like Linux also have a file system that can handle larger files, larger even than NTFS.  The Linux file system is also open source and royalty free, so could be used free of charge by lots of camera manufacurors if they wanted to (excpet it's also a lot more complicated than FAT32), but Microsoft choose not to support it (i.e. you couldn't read the cards on Windows), probably to try block Linux getting an even stronger hold on their server market than it has already.
    The fact is that FAT32 was simple to implement for small memory devices of years gone by and nothing has come along to replace it that was (a) easy on the CPU / RAM and (b) royalty free.
    There's no reason they couldn't implement a FAT64, FAT128 etc, though Microsoft would probably be the sticking point there too.....
    UDF was supposed to be a new replacement that could be universal (hence the name Universal Disk Format), and indeed it's easy to use in read only format (UDF 1.2 is used by even the lowest powered DVD player from 15 years ago!) but to write to UDF takes a lot more power and memory.  Also, the UDF format has evolved and is now even more complicated than before.  So, UDF is not an option either.
    So, yes, the 2GB limited is caused by a 2s compliment implementation of a 32 bit file system (tecnically it could do almost 4GB, allowing for FAT terminators etc, but they only use 31 bits for the file size, which allows for reverse seeking), in a FAT (File Allocation Table) format.
    Finding the next lowest common denominator is the task I hope they pull off soon.  While we can all usually work around the 2GB limit (by joining files) it would be much easier to have complete files in the first place

  • Apply color correction to all footage by changing one color?

    Hello everybody,
    I have two versions of the same footage which I want to synchronize and make one video out of them. By masking, I've put one on top of the other and I'm synching the footage, but the colors are slightly different in the bottom one (a bit brighter). I've tried to correct it using several filters, but even though I get some really good results changing the values (I'm using Brightness and Contrast right now, but I've also tried Color Correction, HLS, Hue/Saturation...) they're not as good as I'd like.
    In several moments, for example, the sky appears, in both layers at the same time. Is there any way I can make the bottom layer correct the sky color into exactly the one in the top layer, so the changes I make in the HLS of that color apply to all footage? That way the color changes would be perfect.
    Maybe this is easy to do, but I'm a beginner at After Effects so I don't really know how to do it. Online tutorials don't seem to help much either.
    Thanks!

    I've been using the re:Match plug-in for similar tasks with success. It costs $90 but there is a demo version you can try out:
    http://www.revisionfx.com/products/rematch/
    and also a tutorial from Andrew Devin:
    http://library.creativecow.net/devis_andrew/AE_RE-Match/1
    You can also match footage in Speedgrade, but I haven't tried that feature yet.
