Turbulent displacement

What I'm trying to do is draw a line coming from the top of the screen to the bottom (using trim paths) and apply turbulent displacement to the bottom half of the line only. At the moment is applies the effect to the whole line, and using a mask doesn't allow me to keep the two sections joined together at the half point (the turbulence effect breaks the line and doesn't look like one object)
Just looking for a quick fix on how to solve this problem?
Many thanks
Aileen

Create a precomp with Fractal Noise in the lower half and a flat grey at the top. (Two solids, one with Fractal Noise at the bottom and one with Linear Wipe at the top.)
Use that precomp to drive a Displacement Map effect on your line.

I want to make a continuous movement in turbulent displace option?

Hi, i'm trying to do a 'heat' effect, but i want to make a continuous movement of it (not a loop, but a almost linear movement) by choosing the options i only get distortions that advance in time but does not keep the same continuous movement, which is the best option to do it? or is there any other option besides turbulent displace option?
Thanks in advance

Displacement Map and Compound Blur together might do well (you'll have to have a precomp containing a layer with Fractal Noise to drive both effects).
Alternatively, Video Copilot has a nice heat distortion plugin.

Turbulent displace help CS6

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to do an effect with words coming out of a coffee cup and onto the screen. I'm looking for a "tornado-like" look when they leave the cup and for them to end up normal once they reach the background. I have tired using the turbulent displace effect, but I can't seem to control it precisely.
Any help would be much appreciated!

How do I make a title disappear in smoke or just vanish

Hello, I've searched for tutorials regarding this but couldn't find anything but how to make writing out of clouds and title appear from smoke. I want to make a title on a black backround disappear in smoke or vanish in smoke or smth like it. Does anybody know any tutorial that explains this? Also the writing shouldn't be from smoke or cloud or anything, just tipical font, but when it disappears it should disperse in smoke like it's flown away. I would really appreciate some help please!!!
Thanks!

There are about a zillion ways to do this. A quick Google Search brings up dozens of tutorials. Like this one, or this one, or . . . If you want to look at video tutorials just click the word videos in the left column.
Some use 3rd party plug-ins, some use stock footage, some use displacement. The process usually involves displacement maps or turbulent displace, some blurring, and some smoke. Smoke can be generated with fractal noise, particle systems, stock footage, or simply filming some smoke against a black background.
Hope this helps. It's too complicated to put the entire process in a post.

AE cs6 crash during render preview

AE is crashing during a render preview.
Version: cs6 11.0.4 (recently updated).
System: iMac mid 2011 running os X 10.7.5
Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 16 gb 1333 MHz RAM
Error message: "Last log message was: <4453353824> <ae.blitpipe> <2> Making New Context."
In my comp I am using four masked solid layers with keyframes, no 3D or 3rd party plugins. The crash occurred after adding an adjustment layer and applying Turbulent Displace with an expression and Simple Choker. Crash occurs at the same point in the timeline every time I do a render preview. I've tried purging the cache, rebooting everything. I tried clearing the preferences with the command "command option shift" at startup, but that didn't seem to work (got no pop up window with yes/no option, maybe not doing it right?). Please let me know if you have any advice or need more information to clarify the issue. Thanks.

The problem is in Mask 1 on the Head layer. Delete and redraw/re-animate that mask.
Or, better...
Why are you drawing masks on solid layers for animation? That stopped being the right way to create graphics in After Effects seven years ago, when we introduced shape layers. I strongly recommend using shape layers for the kind of work that you're doing here. Also, I just checked, and copying and pasting your mask paths into shape layers path makes the problem go away, so whatever bug there is there is just with masks on solids.
To learn shape layers, go through Andrew Devis's materials in this series:

Fire effect in after effects

alright i saw this video and im not sure how to do this i was trying and i can't really get close this is all in after effects no stock footage or anything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqXrSiQxuSE

The fire effect that I created in the example was
A 32 Bit Project
A solid with Fractal Noise pre-composed
The pre-Comp with Colorama and turbulent displace
Another nested comp with Fractal noise used as a displacement map
A duplicate of the nested comp with blur and Colorama
The footage of a very small flame with a huge blur overlaid using the add mode to give flickering color values to the fire
A little more blur and Colorama, hue/saturation, Tri-Tone and probably some other color effects on other layers
Pre-composed all of the above and then duplicated the footage layer, but the fire pre-comp in between the copies.
Roto the boy walking in on the top copy of the footage layers
Some light wrap generated with the alpha from the roto, some blur and some more layers.
Manipulation of opacity blurs and color.
A bunch of other masks and color effects on duplicates of the fire, the footage and the light wrap layers to complete the effect.
I don't have the file in front of me but this is a fairly good representation of the 12 step and probably 15 or 20 layer comp it took to pull off the final fire effect. The shot as you see it was then further color graded to enhance the believability of the shot. As Mylenium said fire is not a single click magic button effect even if you pay for a plug-in that specifically was designed to create fire.
To tell you the truth, even compositing footage of real fire in a scene is a lot more than just a couple of layers and a matte. I've also done that on several projects and it always involved 8 or 10 layers to make it look 'real' to my standard of production.

My after effects keeps crashing when i add effects i think it is due to disk cach?? help!

My after effects cs6 keeps crashing when i add effects but it is random.. for example i might add 3 adj layers with effects on each .. different effects then randomly when i add say turbulent displace a window will pop up saying after effects has crashed due to... [ turbulent displace ]! also when i start up after effects it says there is not enough disk cach even though my disk cach is empty and i allow over 300 gb for it!

AE CC Error: "unable to allocate memory"

Continually get this error: "unable to allocate memory. Decrease the memory requirements for the rendering of this frame, or install more ram."
I have been working on the same AE project-- 30mb project mostly full of animated shape layers. While working in this project this last week I keep getting the same error on both my macbook pro (8gb ram) and my imac desktop (16 gb ram) which makes me believe the issue is not my computer(s).
I initially got the error using AE CC version 13.0.2. After reading different forums someone suggested downloading the updated 13.1 version which fixed some bugs. I did that on my macbook pro and within minutes of working still got the same error.
Then I down-saved the AE project to CS6, started working on it again in CS6 and quickly received the same error.
I've also cleaned out my cache folders, but still nothing.
I have spent hours investigating this issue and am at a complete loss on what to do. Super frustrating when working on a tight deadline!!
Can anyone help?!!

The project contains a lot of stuff:
-Shape layers with repeaters to create animated sprites and animated backgrounds
-created wiggly text using precomped textures with fractal noise, displacement maps and posterize time effects applied. Here is the tutorial I recreated: Jittery Type After Effects Tutorial - YouTube
-imported mini AE projects of different animated objects that I used in past projects: book with pages flipping, dollar bills flipping in stack, coins stacking up, box unfolding.
-More effects used- fill, drop shadow, bunch of track mattes, turbulent displacement, hue/saturation, exposure, cc bender- on flipping pages in book,
-Lots of precomps mostly 1920 x 1080 some bigger like 1920 x 3000
Would it be possible or helpful if I just sent my project and files for you to inspect?

Create video effect similar to 'virtual choir'

I am using premiere pro and also after effects to try and make something similar to virtual choir effects in which multiple videos animate together in globes or we see it panning across a wall of moving videos. Can someone please point me in the direction of the tutorial which explains how to create this Effect? I can get multiple videos simultaneously in fixed positions but there must be an easier way to animate and synchronise multiple videos clips together Than dealing with each of the video slips individually.

Trapcode Particular or Form, most likely. you can generate similar effectrs however by using Displacement effects such as Turbulent Displace. Use masks in combination with the Stroke effect, animate the starts and ends. Then apply Al lthe other effects and animate their parameters to get that smokey look. You can further refine this by adding CC Force Motionblur. Of course feel free to throw any other effect like Glow and Box Blur into the equation.

Can anyone help me with this effect??

Hello, I am ne to AE and I have a client asking me if i know how to do this kind of effect:
http://vimeo.com/1991367?pg=embed&sec=1991367
Can anyone point me in the right direction and tell me if there is a tutorial or a link were I can learn it?
Regards,

Create a very tall composition. Put that composition as a layer in another composition, animate its Y position. Create an adjustment layer which has applied the Polar Coordinates effect. Done. Additional distortions such as the wobbling in the clip can be created using Turbulent Displace and similar effects.

Debug error when changing blending modes

Hi there,
I get a Debug Error every time I use 2 Adjustment Layers one above each other, with the following effects applied:
Adjustment Layer Above:
- Tint, not keyframed
- Opacity Blending Mode: Color Dodge
Adjustment Layer Below:
- Venetian Blinds, not keyframed
- Offset, keyframed
- Turbulent Displace, keyframed
- Opacity Blending Mode: Normal
Media layer below:
- JPG, Canon 60D - 5184x3456 - no effects applied
The error I get (option to 'Continue', but the program doesn't respond and needs to be closed):
Premiere Pro Debug Event
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[..\..\Src\CutlistRenderer.cpp-717]
Error in Events panel:
An input contract violation has occurred!
I first started to get this error, while working with various media files in 1440x1080/HDV 1080i mode (Sony Z7U native)/29.97fps/1.33 sequence. Trying to understand what it goes wrong, I created a new project and recreated the adjustment layers (AL) with same effects applied - the only thing changed was the JPG added as media under both ALs. Same debug errors every time the blending is changed from normal to any other blending mode. With normal blending on the AL above, everything is fine.
After further testing, it looks like even with only one AL (no effects) above the JPG, get the same debug error when blending is changed from normal to any other mode.
Important note: Same layer+effect configuration applied in 1920x1080/ARRI Cinema mode/24fps/1.0 sequence - it works with no debug error. Haven't tried any other editing modes yet.
Layers, in order from top:
- AL (Venetian Blinds, Tint, Offset, Turbulent Displace - Color Dodge blending)
- AL (Venetian Blinds, Tint, Offset, Turbulent Displace - Normal blending)
- AL (Timecode effect)
- Title
- media, MPEG (1440x1080, 29.97 frame rate, 1.3333 pixel aspect ratio)
- After Effects composition (dynamic link) 1920x1080 - content: media file, MPEG (640x480, 30fps, 1.0 + various titles and effects, including color dodge blending
I googled for similar error reports, there are none related to Premiere Pro.
I don't know what else to do, rather than just avoid using this effect configuration.
Does anyone else had this issue, even in different situations?
Thank you very much for any feedback.
Best,
Mark

Looking for "Dry Brush" effect in After Effects

Hi, I'm new to After Effects (CS4), and can't find an effect. Hopefully it exists. Photoshop has an "artistic effect" called Dry Brush. It is not anything using brush strokes or actully painting on the screen. What it does is filter the whole frame to make the image look like it was painted. When used at its lowest settings, it removes all small blemishes in a frame, all subtleties in color, and sharpens edges so that it really looks like an oil painting. The result is similar to a "cartooning" plug-in, but less intrusive. I'm hoping that After Effects has a way to apply this sort of effect to whole video clips, not just frame by frame. Perhaps it has a different name in After Effects; perhaps there is a plug-in. I can't find anything like it. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve Siegel

You can do this kind of effect pretty easily using some subtle settings in the cartoon effect or using some color correction tools with harsh settings. Variations of color can be build with Mosaic, Cell, Turbulent Displace, Fractal Noise etc. used on top or as displacments.... The edges can be done using simple Find edges and Roughen Edges. you just need to work with multiple layers and apply the effects selectively, then use blending modes to bring it all together.

After Effects Transform Effect is there something similar in Motion?

Is there a way to something similar to the AE transform effect to offset the motion caused by the displace filter.
Example here:
http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/disintegration/
Starting at time 8:06
Thanks
Andrew

Interesting tutorial, thanks!
Here's a quickie Motion version covering the basic concepts they use. I didn't have a texture handy and I wanted this to be self contained, so I used the Cloud generator. I animated the gradient in a gradient generator to get the wipe, substituted Gradient Colorize for "Colorama", Underwater filter for "Turbulent Displace", used behaviors instead of keyframes, etc...
I hope this gets you started:
Disintegrator Movie.
and the Project.
come back with any questions...

Error (26 :: 0) - Crashes upon opening

Hi, I recently got a file from a freelancer that produces a couple errors when I attempt to open it (screen shots below). I had him resend files and he claims they work fine for him. I was able to import the problem project file into a new project, but that generated the same errors. It didn't crash immediately, but it does crash if I attempt to open certain comps. I know that I am missing several effects, but I'm unable to get a full list of what they are (so far it looks like Plexus, Particular, MBL, RSMB Pro, Sapphire Suite). I am currently using the latest build of AE. I do not know what version the freelancer is using. In researching this issue I came across a problem with Knoll UnMult, but supposedly that issue was fixed in 13.1.1 and I'm on 13.2.
Could not having the required effects cause crashes like this?
Is this freelancer sandbagging me in an attempt to win future business doing the edits?

Render while editing comp in CS5

Hi all.
I created this acc just to solve this.
When i first installed my AE CS5, all was perfect. When i moved throug my time ruler, parts of my comp where rendered by it selfs and green rendered parts were shown in time. When i moved a layer (like a picture), the changes of the movement where shown in real time while i kept my left mouse button pressed. Also, when i changed an atribute of a effect, like the evolution of the Turbulent Displace effect, the animation occurs in real time while i keep my mouse button pressed, normally.
From a time ago, all those kind of real time editing rendering stopped, and i need to release my mouse left button to see the change occurs. This makes my work harder in many ways.
I tried to restart the preferences, deleting it from Use\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\10.0 and starting AE, but the problem persists.
Can someone help me?
