Using a 3d Lut in after effects?

I´m working at a digital film restauration facility and our workflow is
arri scanner -> restauration software -> after effects (color correction) -> Arri Laser
we are working with logarithmic dpx files, using a 3d Lut for previewing purposes on the monitor
As i know, you can only use ICC profiles in after effects, bummer.
Is there any way or workaround to use 3d Luts in AE or does anyone know a way to convert a 3d Lut to an ICC profile?
I found a possible way at http://www.color.org/creatingprofiles.xalter within SampleICC, but it´s for developpers and i don´t seem to get it to work
any ideas?
I attached the 3dlut, if anybody has the option to convert it
http://audiovisual.at/download/3dlut.zip
this is also a feature request to adobe, please add 3d-lut support, it´s quite an industry standard and i guess a lot of people might apreciate it !!!
thnx

I do have a vested interest in this, but LightSpace CMS from Light Illusion can hlp with LUT conversion, etc.
We are also about to launch SpaceMan ICC for LUT to ICC Profile conversion.

  • How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    I have the latest adobe creative cloud and i'm using Mac 10.8.2
    My client gave me a wmv file that she wants some people blurred out in the background but when I go to import the media, it's greyed out. I'm assuming that After Effects will be the best solution for this, but maybe there is another way.
    I can purchase a video converter and convert it to .mov but that costs extra money that I don't want to spend just to do this one project.

  • Using Adobe Media Encoder with After Effects and ExtendScript

    Hi,
    I'm trying to automate the process of encoding a video using the Adobe Media Encoder. The project I'm working on includes allowing a user to upload a video and having that video then be encoded in different formats. I'm very new to After Effects and ExtendScript, but the two ways I see of doing this are:
    1) Use ExtendScript to fire the Adobe Media Encoder through After Effects, using the 'Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue' function. I'm not sure if this is possible or not.
    2) Bypass After Effects all together and use the 'watch folder' function in Adobe Media Encoder and upload the files directly to that folder.
    I'd prefer to go route 1, if that's possible, but I'm not sure it is. I was thinking that I could write a script to work with Adobe Media Encoder to encode a given video, but from what I've read, ExtendScript isn't currently supported by Adobe Media Encoder? This is true? What would be the best way to go about accomplishing this?
    Thanks.

    I think you will have a much easier time just using option 2. I have to ask, why do you want the files to go through After Effects anyway? If you are just taking a file and converting it to ## different formats...the watch folder setup in AME would be super easy to setup.
    All you need to do is ensure the user submitted files end up in a certain directory -- make that folder your watch folder and create a second folder within that one called 'encoded' or something along those lines. That way as long as AME is online and watch folders are active....you won't have to do a thing.

  • Using 4D cinema lite in After Effects CC 2014

  • Is there any way to use Adobe Extension Builder with After Effects?

    I have been using Script UI and Javascript within the ExtendScript Toolkit to build panels for After Effects CC, but I like the way the Adobe Extension Builder works with Eclipse, and the power of including external libraries like JQuery. Is there any route to build extensions for After Effects with this or some similar solution?

    Hi Hallgrimur,
    I was checking the documentation for CC14 Extension SDK and found that the HTML5 extension development is available now for After Effects too. I could not find any update of Extension Builder though which would support the After Effects extension development. While searching I came across this thread, so was wondering if you might have any update on how to go about with the HTML5 extension development for After Effects. Thanks a lot in advance.

  • Using Windows Server 2008 with After Effects as Render Slave?

    Hi guys,
         We have a fair number of servers that run Windows Server 2008 64bit.  We wanted to further utilize these boxes and wanted to know if it's possible to use them as render slaves with After Effects?  Anybody doing this?  We couldn't find anything for system requirements on Windows Server 2008.
    Thanks for everyone's input.
    Jason

    Hi Todd,
         Another question for ya.  Does it matter if we have some machines still running 32-bit render slaves for after effects and implement a master 64-bit CS5 after effects Master?  Can you mix it up OR do all the machines have to be upgraded to the same version, eeven though they are just render slaves?  We are just doing some thinking on reconfiguration and what to do so it's right the first time.
    Thanks for the input.

  • You can't use this version of application "After Effects"

    I have the Adobe CS6 installed on my computer and they all worked fine with Snow leopard, but the moment I got Yosemite and tried to open After Effects I get this message:
    "You can’t use this version of the application “Adobe After Effects CS6” with this version of OS X.
    You have “Adobe After Effects CS6” 11.0."
    Every other program I tried on Adobe CS6 works fine but After Effects will not open. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it but I get the same message.
    After Effects is my second most used program on the Creative Suite, how do I fix it?

    Hi Lowenfas, did u fixed ur Ae issue?
    I was having same problem and fixed it with new Br CC.
    Let me know.

  • Can't use Creative Cloud to uninstall After Effects

    Hello, my name is Panda and I do YouTube Videos. I got After Effects to try something new, and learn some effects. The reason I want to uninstall it is because I hardly ever use it, and it's taking up a lot of space on my computer. Any help?

    Screw the space it's taking up on your computer.  Get a bigger system drive and keep it.  You never know when you'll need it.

  • I don't know how to use a light layer in After Effects CS4

    Hello,
         I work with a lot of texts layers and it's very trendy to put a light layer across the text at one point or another, it looks really good too. But I've looked on the net for tutorials and can't figure out how to use the light layer so that a light goes across a text from one side to the other. It looks like a flash light went across the text. I go to the top and choose >Layer >New >Light.
    What happens is the color of the text changes (the part that isn't shined upon). How can I change the settings so that the text color doesn't change? Do you know of any video tutorials to use for a light layer?
       Thank you for your time!!

    How can I change the settings so that the text color doesn't change?
    That is kind of a paradox. The whole point of using 3D lights is to have them illuminate the layer, including all shading properties. Color is defined by the layer's base color multiplied with light color and intensity. You really need to set your mind into 3D mode. That aside, I wouldn't bother using a light with flat text. Simply create a feathered circle on top (or 2 or 3), set blending mode to add and animate it across your type.

  • Can I use Encore CS6 with an After Effects CS6 subscription?

    Or do I have to subscribe or buy Premier Pro CS6, even thuogh all I'm gonna use is Encore?

    Subscriptions are strictly on a "you get what you pay" basis. If you only subscribed to AE, then all you get is AE and AME.

  • After Effects not using free RAM?

    Hi there
    Just like to ask question regarding after effects and ram usage.
    I remember before I installed the app Memory Booster - that allows you to keep track of how much ram, there was a healthy use of RAM there from after effects.
    But i noticed today, whilst rendering and doing background cache rendering, the free RAM still available stays at around 4GB and I am wondering why it's not using this free RAM to help faster rendering?
    this is my current multi-processing/ram settings on AE- essentially it should be using up to 6.5 GB of RAM as i allocated as I need faster rendering? Just wondering why it's staying stuck at around 3-4GB of free RAM on my system when it could clearly be used by AE. I want AE to use the RAM as it is the only running program on my system when i work!
    Memory Booster down to 3.18GB with one safari tab open for Adobe forums, when exiting, it jumps back up to 4GB free RAM
    Confused!
    Thanks

    Different projects, different footage attributes, different AE features used, different effects used, different delivery specs....
    ...are you comparing apples to apples, or apples to ORANGES?  We don't know that.

  • Is there a way to force GPU acceleration when using After Effects template project?

    I am using the template feature in after effects to create most of my text in a timeline, for about five minutes of text I am sitting on a half hour render. There are two Quadro K4000 GPUs that are spiking at around 8%. Does any one know of a way to force premiere to utilize the GPUs more fully?

    If the After Effects comp is in the timeline, Premiere Pro does the render. At least that's what I'm seeing. Even if the comp is first rendered in After Effects, putting it in the Pr timeline gives the red line. I don't know why you are seeing such long render times just for text -- seems odd. I tried it for a five-minute text comp on Win 7 and it took about 15 seconds, and only used the CPU.
    I remembered seeing a way to tweak the nvidia card to use it more efficiently. Never tried it but here is the link in case you want to explore. The Quadro K4000 is on the list there. Let us know if it helps at all.

  • After Effects Won't Render Using H.264

    OK, I am trying to use H.264 codec but I keep getting an error and I can't figure out why.  I select (Composition > Add to Render Que), then I select "Output Module > Custom and select "Lossless" and select H.264 and then get the message below:
    "After Effects: For reliable output with H.264 compression, please choose it directly from the Output Module Format menu instead of via QuickTime. (44 :: 81)"
    So I then did as it said and selected the drop down arrow beside Output Module and then selected "Custom" and then selected H.264. and then I get the same message:
    "After Effects: For reliable output with H.264 compression, please choose it directly from the Output Module Format menu instead of via QuickTime. (44 :: 81)"
    An idea what's going on? Why does it give me this message when I am doing it the way it is telling me? How can I render using H.264?
    Thanks

    Are you using the trial version of After Effects?
    from "Supported output formats":
    "The free trial version of Adobe After Effects software does not include some features that depend upon software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, mocha for After Effects, some effect plug-ins, and some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of Adobe After Effects software."
    H.264 is an MPEG format (MPEG-4, part 10).
