Title Animation via AE - how?

I just installed CS4 Production Premium and began learning and experimenting.   One thing I had hoped to use is the better integration between PP and AE.  One common thing I like to do is nice text animation.  In the <CS4 world there was quite a bit of overhead that I often used as an excuse to just do simple text animation that PP could handle.  Here is the workflow I just tried with CS4 that did *not* work as I expected.  <br /><br />Help?<br /><br />  1) Created a simple still title with one line of text in PP and added it to a sequence.<br /><br />  2) Right clicked on the title in the timeline and selected "Replace with After Effects Composition".<br /><br />Now AE runs, as expected. But . . . the newly created comp does not contain the text from the PP title. And in PP the text is also gone.<br /><br />If I add text in AE, animate it, and save the comp, PP *is* updated accordingly.<br /><br />Bug or Error 299 (excessive user ignorance)?

>The replace command is a copy/paste operation; it's not dynamic link.
I get you. Matter of viewpoint, I suppose. I consider it the first part of a two way DL from a
user standpoint, even if the "under the hood" operation is slightly different.
Here's another difference. If you DL the Premiere sequence into AE via your method, you can't then DL that AE comp back into the same Premiere sequence. With the new "two-way" DL in CS4, that's essentially what's happening from a user standpoint. You start in Premiere, 'link' to AE, then 'link' back to Premiere. It's those two links that make me consider it "two-way" DL.
Having said that, I can't see myself objecting if Adobe made the "under the hood" operation identical for both methods.

  • Need suggestion on how to do 3D spinning title animation

    Hello all experts,
    I need suggestion on how to do 3D rotating title animation. Let me explain what i wanted to do.
    The end product is the word WELCOME.
    But I want to animate it in such a way that the alphabelt W first appear as nothing from inside the screen to appear in the screen (that means zoom from small to big, is it called zoom out ?). In the process of zooming out, I want the W to have a thickness & it spins very fast along the horizontal X-axis and stops at the screen with the alphbelt W.
    Then the whole process repeat with E, and I have WE. It then repeats with L and I have WEL. This whole thing repeats until it forms the word WELCOME.
    Any suggestions ? Is there an inbuilt preset for this ?
    If not, if I do from scratch, do I need a separate track for each alphabelt ?
    Thank you very much.
    Cheers.

    You would have to build this one from scratch, but it's pretty easy.
    Work on the whole word first to get the basic movement, then play with the Timing settings in the Inspector. To have the letters do this one after the other use the Sequence setting. Typically you would set it to the number of letters in your word plus 1 -so your welcome should have a Sequence value of 8. You can of course set it to whatever you think looks best.
    Give it a go and let us know how you get on. Don't forget to save your new effect!
    Thanks Holmes but where do I find the Sequence settings ?
    Thanks

  • How to do this title animation

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tebC9qCwwPo
    How do I to do this title animation in this video 00:35?
    Just like this video "Alter Bridge" "Come To Life".
    Can Premiere CC do this?
    Thanks!

    Yes.  There are several ways to do this using cropping, mattes, animating titles, and many other effects.
    If you have After Effects, it may be better to do it there.

  • How to reverse direction of title animation

    Friends,
    I just downloaded motion 5 to use with FCPX titles.  is it possible to use motion 5 to reverse the direction of a title animation?  For example, FCPX has a certain title is shown entering from the left.  I'd like it to enter from the right.  Can I make the switch?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    It looks like that one is animated by keyframes. In this case you could make the animation go right to left by reversing the keyframe order and then adjusting as needed.  You will need to do this with the Emitter and the Rectangle Mask.
    For the Mask:
    -Change the Mask Blend Mode to Subtract.
    -In the Inspector, go to the X Position and to the right of the keyframe indicator, click the downward facing arrow and select Show in keyframe editor from the contextual menu.
    -In the Keyframe editor, option click the checkbox next to the Transform.Position.X channel.  this will hide the other keyframes.
    -Select both the keyframes for the X channel.  While they are both selected right click on top of one of the keyframes and select Reverse Keyframes from the contextual menu.  This will reverse the animation direction for the Mask on the text.
    For the Emitter:
    Basicly, do the same thing as with the Mask.  Go to the keyframes for the X postion and reverse them.  In this case you will need to adjust the start and end postions. The first keyframe will need to be near the right side of the canvas, and the second keyframe will need to be further away.  Once you are close you can adjust the second keyframe to match the mask that wipes the text

  • After Effects 4K Title & Animation Issue

    Hello,
    I am having an issue implementing titles for my project in PP that were created in AE. I had someone make me title animations and logo animations for me. He designed them for 1920X1080, but my footage and sequence is 4096 X 2160, and now he's on vacation for three weeks in Europe.  I have all the assets and project files for this project. I tried to do a simple change in the sequence settings of the comps but that didn't solve anything. I also tried scaling up the layers but then the animation paths got messed up. How can I re-size the titles so they match the sequence correctly?
    Thanks,
    Ben
    AE - 11.0.2.11
    MAC OS X - 10.8.3
    4K RED Footage - 4096 X 2160

    Check the comp resizer script that comes with AE and there's a similar, more advanced floating around on AEScripts or AEnhancers somewhere. Though the aspect ratios being slightly different you may still need to intervene manually. If ev erything is based on shape layers, vector artwork and text layers, enabling the collapse transformations switch might also allow scaling the pre-comps up without any loss of quality whiel retaining the animation...

    While creating a device category i'm getting an error "enter a valid division via eg01,how can the error be overcome?

    Neha,
    you can do in two ways.
    1. Enter a valid Division which you configured in the system.
    2. Remove the Division as required field. However I suggest it should have a valid division. Why can not you check with your Functional owner?

  • IPad Keynote presentation via airplay - how do you zoom in

    When playing a Keynote presentation on ipad to a monitor via airplay, how do you zoom into a slide? The "expand/pinch" 2-finger method just ends the presentation.

    My guess is that the presenters were using the "Action" function in the build option inside inspector, there are options called "actions" where you can rescale an image larger or smaller.
    There is also a slide transition called "magic move" which would allow the same image on two slides to alter as an action build (such as scaling) while transitioning from one slide to the next.

  • I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then  you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

    I tried changing the font and then the placement of the title but it always comes back!

    Thank you. I figured it out right before I heard from you.  Running the OCR before the redaction made it work correctly.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.

    Sorry genius.....but if the Recovery disk shows up that means the disk cable isn't bad.  Could be he did have a screwed up HDD and when he put the NEW HDD in (after putting the OS on it via USB) the computer didn't reconize it and therefore didn't boot the OS.  Just maybe right genius?  Don't rush to criticize someone's recommendations until you realize other possibilities.  (I did say "if it does")

  • Unable to Apply Title Animation

    Premiere Elements 8 doesn't let me apply title animation to a certain title.
    The same track contains a few other titles, to which i was able to apply title animation without problem.
    I tried dragging the problematic title (actually, problematic titleS) to a separate track, but it doesn't solve the problem.
    Is there a solution/workaround?
    Is this a known issue?
    Where does the problem stem from?

    Glad that we got it for you.
    The workaround is to do multiple Titles, each with one line of Text. Place them one, above the other on the necessary Video Tracks. Apply the Animation Preset to each. You can also apply different Presets, depending on what you want. You can also stagger them, so that each line comes in, with the Animation Preset, one at a time. The choice is yours.
    One can also manually Keyframe most of the Animation Presets, though some do require things like Track Matte Keying to get their "wipe," or similar Effects.
    If you get into heavy Title Animation, have a look at both BluffTitler, and ProDAD's Heroglyph. Both are really neat.
    Good luck,

    multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
    i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
    anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

    i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
    some geek here must have solved it - come on!
