Text Animation Presets do not load.

Text animation presets do not load in After Effects CC (or Adobe Bridge when browsing presets). They don't show up in Effects & Presets panel. I believe they used to show up but no longer. They are in the presets folder so I'm not sure why they won't load in either program.
Any help appreciated.

They show up for me and everybody I know except you. Without knowing something about your system, about whether this is new behavior, and without knowing what if anything has changed on your system I have no idea how to help you.

Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6?

so I upgrade from CS6 to CC and did not install Bridge CC. Then while in After Effects CC I try to view the text animation presets, but window informs me I do not have Bridge CC installed. I then download and install Bridge CC and view the animation presets, but seem all the same as Bridge CS6 has.
My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
Is there another procedure to acquire more? Did I click past something on my first launch of Bridge CC?

My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
Best try this in the After Effect forum, to my knowledge not many AE users are here at a regular base. Besides that, every suite version has its dedicated applications to work together in that suite, CC is no exception to that so for best practice use Bridge CC.

Text Animation Presets?

Hello there everyone,
Ive just purchased Flash CS3 and i can not for the life of me
find the option for the Text animation presets and effects. Does
this version still have them or did they scrap it?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Flash has never had preset text effects - so there was
nothing to ever "scrap". Someone just today
asked about text effects and the thread was answered with a
link to a tool that works with flash (or
a component or something) - search this forum for today's
posts.

Modify Text Animation Preset?

I am not exactly a newbie to AE but it has been a while since I have used it so I am a bit rusty.
I just upgraded to CS3 and am trying to use the Text Animation Presets. When trying to use Text Rain In and Text Rain Out to morph text from one thing at the top of the screen to something else at the bottom of the screen, I can't figure out how to modify the end points of the effects. All of the effects features seem to be inaccessible throught the timeline.
What am I missing? Thanks.

> of the effects features seem to be inaccessible throught the timeline.
Hard to tell from your post but you seem to be having trouble with the text animators. There are many pages in the help system that describe them. Do you know how the selectors work? The text animation system is incredibly powerful but it introduced a completely new paradigm to a AE's already supercomplex interface.

Hey kristiac,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you have no service on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can't connect to a cellular network or cellular data - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

Text animation preset

I have used native presets, downloaded some from real script writers and also from other sources, and these all seem to work fine, whether using key frames or in and out points it all works.
Here is a download link for a project with 1 comp, with two text layers in. 1 works perfectly (I didn't animate myself) and 1 has my attempted saved preset on, but just does nothing. How can I copy and save the working animation as a preset? I selected all keyframes, saved as a preset, applied this preset to the layer, but it just does nothing, and doesn't even take across all values like the ramp up etc.
Any ideas?!
This is a cc file.
Dropbox - Test (converted) copy 1 comp 4.zip

Hi Rick
Yeah I've created animation presets before just for movements etc and those have worked well. And also work on a text layer etc.
This is using the range selectors (I don't even know what they've used I just can see how it's animating!!)
I used U to twirl down all the keyframes on the one layer of their text animation. Selected them and saved the preset. When I then apply that preset to my own editable text layer, I get the key frames etc, and the values change... but no animation happens.
Oh dear. Am I missing a point here? That should work right?

Printing presets are not loaded correctly

Dear community,
i have the following problems using different printers (Canon MG5200, Epson Workforce WF3620, etc.):
I saved about 10 own printing presets and when I check on them under "Show presets" they are totally correct. But when I want to use them in a following print job and select them in the drop-down list "Presets" they are not correctly loaded. E.g. "Paper Size" and "Pages" are alternated to thesetting saved in the preset but e.g. the "Duplex Printing" checkbox or the "Print Quality" drop-down list are just left on the setting they were on before.
Anyone knows that problem and can help me?
Thanks for your help.
Greetings,
Fares from Munich

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I was having trouble with presets, too, on my Epson printer/scanner, which is an old machine and the newer driver software does not give the same print setting options that came originally. So I decided to start from scratch. First I used the Epson uninstaller to remove the printer software. Next, reset the print system, then connected directly to the printer via USB. Ignored the initial offer to download driver software. In the printer panel in System Preferences, clicked + to add the printer. Then the printer was set up by the system. Still connected directly, I made the presets. Make sure to check the box for "All printers" for your presets. These presets should work when you connect your printer on the network instead of USB.

AE Animation Presets/Templates previews not showing in Bridge

I am running CS5.5 on a Mac (10.6.8) and when I want to preview a text animation preset or project template, Bridge opens and I can click through the various presets/templates, but when they play, there is no preview...only a playhead that moves and the file name:
For example:
I have the .ffx and .aet files on my hard drive where the installer put them. Any thoughts as to why the previews don't show up in Bridge?
I am new to Bridge and thus far only use it for this purpose...
Thanks in advance.
Jonathan

I have the .ffx and .aet files on my hard drive where the installer put them. Any thoughts as to why the previews don't show up in Bridge?
Otherwise then selecting the file and with right mouse click select purge cache for selection from the pop up menu I have no clue.
You might want to ask this question in the dedicated Adobe After Effects Forum, they might have a better insight for the ffx extension files:

PLEASE HELP! Text animation question.

Hi,
This might be a dumb question, but it's really stumping me. I want to animate a title using some of the text animation presets, but I can't seem to apply an animation that makes the text appear AND an animation that makes the text disappear. I can do one or the other, but not both.
For example, I want my title's text to appear with "FocusIn", and I want it to disappear with "DropOutByCharacter." How do I do this?! I've searched everywhere and wasted an entire day trying to figure this out!
Thanks.
- epompa03

Along with Steve's tip on doing two Titles (probably the easiest way to handle this), would be to use Keyframed Effects to create your animation. Since Drop Out By Character, is the harder one to do by hand, I'd just add a Blur to the Title, and Keyframe it to start out heavily Blurred (maybe even with a lowered Opacity, also Keyframed) and then Keyframe the Blur out, where you wish to have the Title sharp. Then, add the Drop Out By Character.
The beauty of Keyframing the various Effects is that you can control many at one time on a single Clip. However, the concept is not the easiest to initially grasp. Once you do, you'll likely use Keyframes in lieu of most packaged animation Effects.
Steve has a good series of articles on Keyframing on the Muvipix site. Do not recall if they are in the "free" section, or not. Since there is a ton of great material, articles, tutorials and also Assets, like Motion Footage and Menus there, a subscription often pays for itself in one day of downloading.
Good luck,

Animation preset--one letter at a time

I am looking for a text animation preset that shows one letter at a time. I have tried several of the presets and applied a mask, but I am assuming there is an automated way to do this, either with a preset or an expression of some kind.
Lee

"Shows" can be done a thousand different ways but let's just say you're scaling the letter up from 0% to 100%.
What you want to do is spend about two hours reading about and then playing with text animators. You will simply apply your animation choices to a letter and use the Selector to move a set of frames along your text object. The frames will show you which letters are getting your animation settings. You will keyframe the selector position so it moves along your text object.
The sections in the manual only hint at the levels of complexity and variety.. you will also want to use the online help system for the more explicit information.
Warning: The whole process is quite confusing and frustrating for your first many efforts. But eventually you will see how cool the whole text animation systems are.

*I like this text animation but haven't found how to produce/where to get...??

Looking for text animation presets beyond those within after fx but haven't really found anything.
Do you have any quick suggestions as to where to get additional text animation presets??
I want some super cool/sleek stuff...
An example =
I really like when Frank talks about the "3 Pillars" in the video below. You'll see the text animation identifying the 3 Pillars as displayed below =
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oJMt8ZrfPI&feature=player_detailpage#t=45s
Thanks so much - just wanted to check if anyone had any quick tips/insight.

wanted to check if I could maybe pay you or anyone else a few bucks to shoot me the preset if it fits the feel of the example video. I'd like to maybe do one more text animation as well - that's shorter and to the point.
Let me know if possible.
Thanks Mylenium

Missing Animation Presets in After Effects 2014 CC

I upgraded from CS6 CC to 2014 CC and cannot now find the Animation Presets anywhere on my system. I deleted CS6 CC because of space considerations. They were in it. Can't find them anywhere on my system. Standard install. WIndows 7 Pro, 6 GB i7 blah blah blah! Was told by Tech Support that I couldn't BROWSE them because I don't have Bridge CC. I do have CS5.5 Premium Bridge, but can't reach it from 2014 CC. Even using it outside of 2014 CC I can't find Animation Presets. I can't find the folder they're supposed to be in, find everything else.
Help!

Hello Rick Gerard,
Thank you for the prompt and apparently correct answer. However, this did not solve my problem. Perhaps I was not totally clear in my original post. To that end, before I posted I went to the panel for Effects and Presets inside AE 2014 CC. That was what lead me to start trying to Browse Animation Presents and finding out that Adobe Bridge 2014 CC was not installed, etc. Okay, I can live without that.
The Animation Presets DO NOT SHOW UP in the Effects and Presets panel as you have displayed in the graphic. In fact, searching for Animation in that panel's search box produces no result. Looking at a list of Animation Presets from Adobe's site and searching for several of them produces nothing. The Animation Presets cannot be found. They are not in any folder inside or outside the install. Even searching my entire system for *.ffx (I believe that is correct) turns up nothing.
Something may have gone awry when I deleted (actually uninstalled) CS6 using Windows' own uninstall function. I only did that because my then hard drive was crammed to the max and functionality had degraded. I replaced that drive and now I'm a happy camper again except for not finding the Animation Presets.
IF I deleted/uninstalled them inadvertently, what are my options for getting them back? Deactivate and reinstall 2014 CC? What about reinstall/reactivate(?) CS6? Thanks once again and also in advance.

Problem with After effects present text animations

When I want to use the text animation presets I get an error message, an example is when I want to use a text "animate in" preset and got the following error message: After Effects error: Can't import file "Fly In From Bottom.ffx": unsupported filetype or extension. ( 0 :: 1 ). I have check my bridge script settings and they are activated for After effects.

Sounds like you are trying to import a FFX file instead of applying an animation preset. Some users are reporting problems with Bridge. Just type the name of the animation preset into the Effects and Presets panel and apply it from inside AE.

Animation Preset Problem

When I add an animation preset to my text layer, it works, but it also adds the words Adobe After Effects below the first layer of text slightly overlapping the text. Does anyone know why that is happening? It never did that before and I did purchase a full copy of the program from Adobe's website. Thanks!

It's just placeholder text. Some of the text animation presets add placeholder text that you can replace with your own. This mostly happens with the animation presets that involve text on a path.
