Stuttered footage in After Effects

Who can help me?
When I rendered footage in After effects (6.5) it's a little bit stuttering.
It looks like shooting on progressive scan. The settings are on upper field. It's 16:9 PAL and came out of media 100 editing system.
The only thing we did in AFX is color correction.
Does anyone know this problem?
greeting Jacco

Agree, you probably get very few AE users here. Luckily I am one of them, hee hee.
Try these 2 methods, combine or seperately:
1.Highlight the video layer, then go Main Menu Bar > Effect > Blur and Sharpen > Reduce Interlace Flicker, set the softness value to 1
and/or
2.In your main project window bin, highlight the video clip, and under File > Interpret Footage, toggle between choosing Upper Field first, Lower Filed first or None (or Frame)
You have to see each render result to get the best result.
I am suspecting either you have scale the footage, and/or slow down or speed up the footage, that may cause the stuttering. Filming or source of the footage, its orginal compression type, i.e. the codec, may also cause such "effect"
Cheers

  • Bringing Premiere ultra keyed footage into after effects with key intact

    It there a way to bring in footage I keyed using Premiere ultra into After effects? I much prefer the ultra keyer over anything native to After Effects CS5.5. If not, how do I export and keep intact the aplha channels from the keyed footage into after effects? Thirdly, if I have to, how do I remiove the black background I get as a result of a default quick time movie file?

    You can not export a clip with alpha from PPRO.
    Easiest way is just doing the key in Keylight - AEFX ( which is far more powerful and flexible than Ultra Key . As good as it is, it has its limits)

  • Exporting Anamorphic PAL footage to After Effects.

    Hi,
    I am exporting my PAL footage to After Effects as DV-PAL Anamorphic. I have tried various compostion settings on After Effects including DV Widescreen but it still imports back into FCP at a different aspect ratio.
    Does anyone know what settings I should use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon.

    Hi,
    Ok I just took a piece of footage out of FCP into AFX comp settings PAL DV/D1 Widescreen 720x576 Aspect ratio 1.42.
    I out put from AFX using DV Settings for the render settings and Quicktime DV PAL 48KHz for the output module.
    I brought the AFX clip back into FCP on top of the original and did a 50% vertical crop on the clip in the Upper channel they match perfectly!
    Not sure if I've done anything different to you but it works for me . . I suppose there is a possibility if you are using any 3rd party filters on the footage it might munge it in someway, if so using the method I used to check conformity you might be able to nudge the clip back to perfect aspect ratio.

  • My video won't "Render and Replace" in Premiere Pro from linked footage in After Effects

    I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014 and After Effects CC 2014.  I can't get the video to "Render and Replace" in Premiere Pro after editing the original in After Effects.  It just freezes on "Analyzing."
    In order to see the footage in real time  I have to export it to an mp4 then replace the linked footage.  The footage is 18 minutes long and it takes more than 5 hours to export it.  After I edit the exported version, I have to export it again, which is another 5 hours.  This is taking a really long time.  I would rather edit the "Rendered" version What am I doing wrong?
    Russell

    is this just a single clip, or you have the entire 18min loaded in AE as comp? does this happen with new projects and all footage or just some? can you render and replace regular clips that aren't AE comps?  if its just a few clips of the 18min project, can you render previews in premiere?    if its just a few clips, could also render them out in AE and swap them out in premiere instead of using render and replace...   or maybe temporarily disable the ae effects/layers while editing in premiere and then turn them back on when ready to export final render.

  • Wie kann man den kompletten Pfad für fehlendes Footage in After Effects anzeigen lassen?

    Hallo ich habe kürzlich mal wieder After Effects Projekte von einem auf den anderen Rechner transferiert. Diese habe ich lediglich kopiert und nicht die Dateien gesammelt.
    Jetzt kommt es "natürlich" regelmäßig vor, dass AE beim Laden fehlendes Material anzeigt. Manchmal verständlich, manchmal nicht sofort nachvollziehbar warum gerade DIESES Material/Footage wieder fehlt.
    Nun wird ja im Projekte-Fenster der ursprüngliche Pfad des Materials angezeigt. Aber trotz ausreichend Platz immer nur ein kleiner Teil. Das liest sich bei mir z.B. so:
    <Fehlt>...intergrund_sommer.jpg
    <Fehlt>...ftseiten/GuteNacht-Geschichte.jpg
    Es nutzt auch nichts die Spalten weiter aufzuziehen, er zeigt einfach nicht mehr an. Auch ein Doppelklick o.ä. geht nicht.
    Ich würde einfach gerne manchmal nur ein einziges Material wieder verlinken und dafür müsste ich es nur finden, bzw. wissen wo es vorher war um nachzuvollziehen auf welchem Archiv es sein könnte...
    Ideen?

    Hallo Mylenium,
    danke für den Hinweis, aber das wusste ich bereits, bzw. beim MAC muss es heißen --> im Finder anzeigen
    Es geht aber darum, dass das fehlende Footage ja nicht auf dem Rechner ist, sondern fehlt - in sofern auch nicht angezeigt werden kann. Ich möchte herausfinden wo sich das Footage ursprünglich befunden hat und dafür bräuchte ich den ganzen Pfad angezeigt.

  • Does Premiere pro CS6 let you edit footage in After effects CC?

    I was thinking about buying after effects cc but then i wonder if you still can have a good workflow between adobe after effects cc and adobe premiere pro cs6?
    /Ted

    Well, if you want just After Effects CC 2014, it is $20 per month. To get After Effects and Premiere Pro would be $40. But getting everything, almost all of the Adobe products, is only $10 more for a total of $50.
    If you are in the USA. Otherwise it can be much more expensive.
    To buy After Effects CS6 to work with your Premiere Pro CS6, it would cost around $900.

  • Can I import Red Dragon footage into After Effects?

    I keep getting the error that the format might be unsupported, but I thought that Dragon support was part of CC?

    > " I thought that Dragon support was part of CC"
    Where have you seen that for After Effects CC? I can't find any public mention of that, except in discussions of what's coming in a future version due out soon. Premiere Pro CC (7.1) added RED Dragon import, but camera formats very often start in Premiere Pro and then get integrated into After Effects next.

  • Mercury Engine in After Effects CS5.5? Or, why is After Effects so much slower the Premiere Pro?

    Take this quote :
    "by Todd Kopriva on Apr 25, 2010 at 8:08:14 am
    'Mercury' is a marketing name for these performance improvements in Premiere Pro: - multiprocessing
    - multithreading
    - 64-bit application
    - use of CUDA to to some processing on supported hardware 
    The first three of these are in After Effects CS5. (The first two have been in After Effects for much longer.)"
    However, if I drop my Canon 5D Mark II footage (h264) into Premiere Pro it plays back SO MUCH better then the exact same footage in After Effects. Why is that? I DO NOT have an NVideo card and I have NOT applied any effects or scaling to the clip, just raw footage dropped into each program.
    I do notice that After Effects has to render to play back (green bar being generated above footage). But it does slow very slowly, like 9fps. Premier Pro seems to cruise right along at near realtime. This is 24fps 1080p footage. One other point of interest, I have encoded the clip into Cineform codec as well. On Premier Pro I can tell a difference, the cineform scrubs a lot smoother then the original H264 clip. But, again, in After effects both the h264 and Cineform clips are very slow to render and scrub.
    Any improvements along these lines for CS5.5?
    Am I just missing something obvious?
    Thanks for any info,
    --greg.

    I think the problem is that hitting the space bar and hitting '0' (ram preview) both draw that green bar, and both seem to use it if it is already there. I guess the real difference is how that green bar gets generated. It does seem to get generated faster when I ram preview as opposed to hitting the space bar. Using both cores I have I guess (early 2009 24" iMac).
    When you hit the space bar, AE TRIES to play back as it renders each frame.  Imagine what happens if it's a comp with 120 3D layers that all accept lights and cast shadows.  That's why you don't use the space bar.
    In a RAM Preview, AE fills up the memory available to it with rendered frames, then plays them back from RAM.  Depending on processor speed, dimensions of comp & frame rate, this may or may not be real time, but there are ways to get real time.  With the space bar, you don't stand a chance at real time.

    From what I hear new iMacs are due out soon with the new Thunderbolt (!) and Sandy Bridge processors/chipsets. Should be a LOT faster then what I have now.
    For AE work I'd say maybe yes, maybe no.  To make AE REALLY speedy, you need a lot of processor cores and a boatload of RAM.  iMacs aren't known for either of those things.

  • Adobe After Effects CS5.5 Wont Show any.Avi Video. HELP!?

    I have a top notch computer, from video card, to ram, to a quad core processer. All other video files work fine but my camera (insignia HD) only exports in .avi, and .Mov, so to get any of my footage into After Effects i have to use other programs to render the video file into another type of file, which hinders my quality greatly, and i just dont have the time to do that. I have seen others on youtube videos importing .Avi files but for some reason i cant. I mean i can, but it just shows up in the thumbnail picture as white with green sound waves below and plays nothing. its getting very frustrating. ive looked for answers on google but i cannot find any. Could it perhaps be a codec problem? Also my .Avi files work fine on programs such as Power Director 9, and Windows movie maker. Just not After effects.
    Help Would be GREATLY appreciated, please and thankyou.

    Ah, impatience. I don't understand that in you kids. When I first learned how to use AE it took a weekend to render 10 seconds of one effect on one layer. Anything better than that is like having an unholy demon in my Macintosh.
    You might try dropping a note to the creators of those videos you admire. They should be happy to tell you, a blossoming filmmaker, how to use your camera. I've never heard of an insignia camera but I think you mean it shoots in AVI, not export to AVI. That would be an interesting function in a camera, an export utility. It probably shoots a highly compressed long GOP format that should be transcoded to a frame-based codec before you can use After Effects. Try looking up the wiki entry for AVI and you will see it is a 20 year-old legacy codec wrapping system that simply will not die. Surely the camera mfr's website can offer you some better help in moving your camera originals to a more robust codec? But there should be absolutely no degrading of your video when you transcode to a more useful codec. That is a fault in the settings you are using in your transcoding application.

  • Why must a dynamically linked Premiere timeline be open in order to see it in After Effects CC 2014?

    I am having a problem I don't think existed before.
    I have an After Effects project with two different Premiere timelines in it. I red the dreaded red screen of "media offline" unless I open the timeline in Premiere. Which is odd, because I don't remember this being the case. As I recall in the past, if you import a Premiere pro timeline (not a project, but rather import as footage) then you didn't use to have to have that same timeline open in Premiere in order to see it in After Effects.
    Aside from this annoyance, my problem is that I'm using two different timelines from two different Premiere project files. So I can't have Premiere open twice. I shouldn't have to render out the timelines and import them as actual footage into After Effects in order to make this work. Or I shouldn't have to import one Premiere timeline into the other and relink one of them in AE.
    Is this occurring for anyone else? Any work arounds or (preferably) fixes?

    We can't know anything. You have not provided any system information or details about your project. By power of deduction it stands to reason that firing up Premiere initializes a specific CoDec or hardware driver required to handle your footage, but otherwise there is nothing anyone can say about the matter.

    Hab mir mal heute die ganze Master Collection runtergeladen.
    Alle Programme gehen, bloß die Beiden (Premiere und After Effects) gehen nicht, siehe oben....
    Was mich aber wundert, habe noch das alte Programm Premiere CS 3 gefunden, und mal installiert. Das geht ohne Probleme, mag sein das dies andere anforderungen hat, aber ein Q9550 sollte doch reichen.
    Befehlssätze und Features:
    Q9550: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, EIST, Intel 64, XD bit, iAMT2, VT,
    I7 920: Hyper-Threading, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, EIST, Intel 64, XD bit, iAMT2, VT,
    I7-2600k: Hyper-Threading, VT-x, AES-NI, Intel 64, Idle States, EIST, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Intel Fast Memory Access, Intel Flex Memory Access, XD bit
    Aber ob es wirklich daran liegen kann?
    Das neue System wird zwar eine I7-2600k als CPU haben, aber leider gibt es kaum eine CS4 Software von Adobe mehr.

  • Adobe After Effects CS3 won't install

    I have windows XP, and I used to have my version of Adobe After Effects CS3 installed. Then I uninstalled it because it kept crashing, but I forgot to deactivate it before I uninstalled it. Now every time I've tried reinstalling it, the installation goes completely fine until the last step, when it says:
    Summary:
    Successfully installed: 3 component(s):
    Adobe After Effects CS3 Template Projects and Footage
    Adobe After Effects CS3 Third Party Content
    Shared Components
    Errors: 2 component(s):
    Adobe After Effects CS3
         Component install failed
    Shared components
         component install failed
    I don't know how to fix this! I've tried multiple times at reinstalling it but each time without success. I've also ran the installation as administrator, and I've restarted my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks a lot!

    Did you correctly uninstall the software? Are there other Adobe programs on the system? Sounds like there are other, newer versions that throw off the install. You need to uninstall those and reinstall them after you have installed CS3. Also simply delete the caps.db in C:\Program Files\Common Fiels\Adobe\caps. And for further diagnosis it might help to have a look at the install logs.

  • CS 6 locks up when encoding using modified files from after effects

    I have not had any problems until I started trying to use a green screen, which has turned out to be a major pain. Ultra key did a good job, but I kept being told the after affects does a better job. My computer is a PC has 32 Gigs of ram a 4 gig video card, I7. I also just downloaded all the latest updates. I imported an AVCHD file after shooting a 30 min lesson on green screen. Had to do a lot of editing to get all put together so there were lots of cuts and I had alot nested sections so I can resize myself with the background to keep the perspective correct. After I had decent success with keying, though I wish it were better, I tried moving each indivdual video clip over to after effects to key in there. It looked like it might have been a little bit better than the using ultrakey. I tried serveral different turtioals, but finally found one that seemed to work pretty good. (BTW if you have a favorite turtorial that you like on keying, please share.)
    Anyways, after taking forever to get all these clip edited in after affects, I wanted to export my completed video so I could see how well it worked. I never got the the chance because no matter what I choose under MPG2 it would lock up around 8%. Even when I tried to get to encode a 2min section of the video, it still locks up. The only way to get out of the program is to force it closed. As I searched for answer to this problem, someone suggested holding he shift key down while you open CS6, but that did not help. BTW the same file exports fine as long as I do not send any of the footage to after effect
    I hop you guys can help because it would be nice to be able to try and use after affects as well so I can at least see if the final result of the keying is better or not.

    I failed to mention that I tried this on another computer as well with a completly different lesson. This time I brought the whole footage in to afteraffects and did the keying and then went back to CS6 and tried to render it, and it locked up my second computer the same way.

  • Missing elements when exporting in After Effects CC

    Hi there,
    I really hope someon is able to help me with this problem.
    I have this animation in After Effects. It contains PSD files of lines. I animated the lines using the Stroke-tool form AE.
    When pre-rendering the animation does what it's supposed to do. It works fine.
    However, whenever I try to export it through Render Queue, it seems to forget just two PSD elements in my project. I can already see the animation will not export as it's supposed to do while rendering in the render Qeueu.
    I've tried several things:
    - Change my PSD files from CMYK to RGB and replace footage in After effects
    - Copy my original PSD files and replace footage in AE
    - exporting in different kinds of files (MOV/AVI) H264
    Can anyone help me? I've searched on Google but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
    Further info:
    - I'm using Adobe CC (legal of course )
    - Windows 8
    - I've updated my computer with every update available
    Please help?
    Thnx!

    What is the full version number of AE that you're using? 12.2.1.5? 13.2.0.49?
    Can we see a screenshot of your timeline panel with the missing layers? Are they set to guide layers?
