Using Roto Brush in After Effects CC

When I go to the next frame while rotoscoping, it doesn't allow me to make any adjustments on the following frames? I want to roto each frame bit by bit and get rid of the stuff I don't want but it wont let me do it any ideas? I am using CC if that makes any difference!

This is an instance when having CC shouldn't matter.  Things have remained unchanged for Rotobrush: if you're trying to use it intuitively, you'll fail.  You need to look at documentation and tutorials.  You'll find them when you nose around here:

...and if you're new to AE, you'll need to spend some quality time looking that page over.

    can i use same licence for after effects 7 on multiple computers

    you can install on any number of computers, but you can activate on, at most, two computers concurrently with a single user license.

  • Do I need to uninstall my trial version of CS6 and install using disk to get After Effects?

    Do I need to uninstall my trial version of CS6 and install using disk to get After Effects?

    No, the trial version is identical to the purchased version in every aspect other than the time limitation. Besides, the boxed version will probably be LR 4.0 and then need to be updated. To cancel the time limit simply supply the registration key from the back of the box in Help/Registration.

  • Using the timeline in After Effects CS3

    Hi everryone
    does anyone know how to use the timeline in after effects, is it the same as flash, as it seems to be different (more complicated!) anyone got any tips or ideas which may help me,
    thanks
    I appreciate it
    Helen

    > They are different in their approach but are both keyframe-based timelines.
    I use both programs daily.
    I bow, Steve.
    Just having the Flash icon on my Mac gives me the creeps.
    It's an irrational emotional issue for me, much like my loathing of Photoshop.
    About six years ago, ten of us attended a two day immersion Flash class. These are filmmakers and and Photoshop geeks. In 16 hours of instruction, exercises and tutorials, no one ever said "Cool." Not once. it was monstrous.

  • Media Encoder CC not using GPU acceleration for After Effects CC raytrace comp

    I created a simple scene in After Effects that's using the raytracer engine... I also have GPU enabled in the raytracer settings for After Effects.
    When I render the scene in After Effects using the built-in Render Queue, it only takes 10 minutes to render the scene.
    But when I export the scene to Adobe Media Encoder, it indicates it will take 13 hours to render the same scene.
    So clearly After Effects is using GPU accelleration but for some reason Media Encoder is not.
    I should also point out that my GeForce GTX 660 Ti card isn't officially supported and I had to manually add it into the list of supported cards in:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\raytracer_supported_cards.txt
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC\cuda_supported_cards.txt
    While it's not officially supported, it's weird that After Effects has no problem with it yet Adobe Media Encoder does...
    I also updated After Effects to 12.1 and AME to 7.1 as well as set AME settings to use CUDA but it didn't make a difference.
    Any ideas?

    That is normal behavior.
    The "headless" version of After Effects that is called to render frames for Adobe Media Encoder (or for Premiere Pro) using Dynamic Link does not use the GPU for acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
    If you are rendering heavy compositions that require GPU processing and/or the Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, then the recommended workflow is to render and export a losslessly encoded master file from After Effects and have Adobe Media Encoder pick that up from a watch folder to encode into your various delivery formats.

  • What is the most efficient way to use Remove Grain from After Effects on large Premiere Pro project?

    I've tried to use Dynamic Linking both ways but it doesn't the effects don't appear no matter how dramatic I make them. Why couldn't there just be Remove Grain in Premiere Pro so I wouldn't have to go through the headache of figuring this out. I've tried importing the Premiere Pro project into After effects where everything comes up and, since there's so many files, it doesn't seam feasibly or convenient at all. Trying Dynamic Link vice versa didn't lend results either. What can I do??? Projects range from about a half hour to an hour and a half. Thank you.

    The situations are well lit; it might be lack of knowledge on the camera settings itself.
    Sort that and your workflow issue dissapears instantly.
    There's nothing more efficient?
    Yep...read above... but ...any Plugin. eg Neat Video... will take long processing time.
    Fixing grain..actually "noise"...is always an image  degrading process as well.  It blurs!

  • What could cause no propagation using Roto Brush Tool?

    Also is it allowed to use masking while using the Roto Brush tool?
    Could the arrow colors be exacly the same as the gray of the background?
    I have gotten it to work on some other projects.

    Unlikely that you could tweak your UI brightness in such a way that it kills both grey tones at the same time, so this is a real issue of sorts. do you see any propagation status updated on teh info plaette? Please check that. If there is propagation, yet it does not show up in the viewer, it may be an issue with your footage. And no, you shouldn't use masks and RB at the same time. It may throw off RB completely. You would have to pre-compose or pre-render the RB layer and work based on that.

  • 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.

  • Too hard to use Roto Brush in Tree Branches!

    Hi all!
    I'm having trouble roto brushing tree branches, it's too difficult, is there any alternative way or color selection option in Roto brush?
    Thanks in advance!

    Colorama is a plug-in that easily creates a track matte for things like trees against a sky. An additional junk mask and your work should be almost done. Just use the negative preset and then do some tweaking like this:

  • Rendering error using linked sequence in After Effects

    When I render out an After Effects Project with a linked sequence from Premiere, There are some frames that don't render. They are "missing media". These are only a few frames and very random. After rendering it out a second time, the missing Premiere frames were somewhere else. I use Media Encoder to render. I had to do a work around and render out the Premiere sequence first, put it into my After Effects Project and then render that again. Can someone help me with this dynamic link issue?
    For this project, i have to render in 50fps. I put both my After Effects and Premiere projects to 50fps. But the footage is not. Can that be the problem perhaps?

    Hi jstrawn,
    no, by render out i mean actually finishing off the project by exporting it to media encoder and rendering out a file. I am in After Effects and the linked sequence is refering to the sequences I made in Premiere Pro.
    As far as i know, you can only render and replace an After Effects Comp in Premiere. (vise versa would be great in my case but i couldnt find a render and replace function for premiere sequences in After Effects)
    By missing media, i mean the yellow screen you get when Premiere can not find your footage. It happens randomly and it seems as if dynamic link isn't working quite well in this case.
    in media encoder i set the rendering settings to QuickTime H.264 codec, 50fps, 1920x1080 and it renders out in .mov. All the comps in AE and Sequences in Premiere are slalso set to these settings.

  • Is possible to enable the GPU Firepro V5900 to use ray-tracing on After Effects CC?

    My GPU is disabled , is there any possibility to enable ?

    No.
    The ray-traced 3D renderer (which is an obsolete feature that you very likely have little use for) relies on CUDA, which is only on Nvidia GPUs.
    We strongly recommend using other 3D features in After Effects, such as the integration with Cinema 4D:

  • Why i can't use dynamic link between After effects and Premiere Pro?

    I have installed the Creative Cloud version of After effects and Premiere Pro (only them, no other software of the suite) but i still can´t link them with dynamic link. the option is in grey, and i can't even click on it.
    Some help? please!

    Ok, here goes some information about my hardware and software:
    Allienware M14XR2
    Intel Core i7-3610 QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz
    RAM 8 GB
    Windows 7 Home premium
    NVIDIA GE force 650 M
    I'm working in a Premiere Pro project using 1920x1080 .mov archives, and the project is in the same resolution.
    In Premiere pro, when i go to Archive > Dynamic Link  i only have the option of send it to Encore.
    Is this information enough?
    thanks

  • Want to use Premier Pro and After Effects but don't want to buy CC

    I have CS6 Design/Web Premium standalone edition and want to add Adobe CS6 Premier Pro and CS6 After Effects Standalone to the group.
    I've downloaded the trial versions of Premier pro and After Effects to get me past this recent job issue, but I may need to purchase it after the trial runs out.
    If the job I've got pending does not pan out I'll go back to using Final Cut X and Motion.
    But if it does pan put I'll want to buy the standalone versions as I'm not into Hacking and Kracks.
    I do not like the idea or want to "upgrade" to CC so please no suggestions about this.
    Any clues. For some reason I'm not able to ask Adobe directly as they do not appear to supply and email address to be contacted, and I'm now on this forum sharing my questions to the community.
    Anyone out there with an idea to help in this regard?

    Hi,
    You can buy standalone Premiere Pro and After Effects CS6 from the below link:-
    Creative Suite 6
    You can also contact our Sales Team

  • Everytime I click "Scene Setep" when using Element 3d my After Effects CS6 crashes, how do I fix this?

    @

    Without any details about your project, your workflow, or the versions of the software you're using the only suggestion I have is to make sure that everything is up-to-date. If that does not fix the problem and the software used to work then ask yourself the question "what changed?"
    If you need further assistance I would suggest that you contact video copilot because it's their software that's crashing.
