Why is a line appearing on my After Effects composition that is not present in the original .ai file

There is a small black line that cuts through an area of my AE composition. The composition is made up of layers from an original AI file. When I go to edit the original, there is no line present, but when I go back to the AE comp, it is still there. Any ideas on how to rememdy this glitch?

Here is the screenshot of the entire comp panel. This is the first time I've encountered this problem. I went into AI to check my layers to make sure there were no hidden lines. Pressing "U" twice didn't show anything other than a change in position. I have made any changes to this particular layer. However, it must be something on the layers because when I move it, the line stays with it. When looking at the layer in the project panel, the line shows there as well. I went into illustrator and added a box on top of it to see if the line would show, but it didn't, however, when I copied the letters in the AI layer and added them above the original ones, the line still appeared in the AE. I'm assuming it is something to do with the letters, or perhaps the pattern I used. It's just funny that it only shows in AE and it's not affecting any other layers. The letters have been outlined and expanded in AI and are all on separate sublayers.

Replace With After Effects Composition... What's the Point...???

Hi...
So I have a timeline that I want to CC in AE....
I select all the clips and choose "Replace with After Effects Compostion"
PPRO correctly initiates an AE launch which then correctly makes a Composition with all my clips in it...
Now, ALL the clips, while there in the AE Comp, DONT have the clip names I gave them in the Timeline in PPRO.
They have the original clips names. Like MVI_9987.MOV which is totally misleading....
Why on earth would PPRO NOT adopt the names of the clips in the timeline to the after effects compostion ??
This is my major gripe with Adobe, you have so many GREAT and VERY Innovative but totally NON-Thought-Thru' features. It is killing me.
This here among so manu other things is what makes your CS Suite (Aside from Photoshop) a Pro-Sumer Solution....
A professional solution is NOT regarded professional because it has fancy features, it is regarded as such because the features it HAS have been WELL contemplated and integrated.
I hope your CS6 version is going to take care of all those small problems...
But then again, been having those hopes since CS4

The bit I do not understand is why the need to rename the Clips and how that becomes of value in either PPRO or AEFX (or Resolve or elsewhere).
Say YOU have to colorize my movie that I am currently cutting. The timeline consists of about 630 clips, derived from about 300 sources (Clips in Bin)
The clips in the bin have the original rush name... Thus BLABLA.mov... This way you can alsways go back and in time. Adobe has integrated something called METADATA and THAT should be use to describe scenes, shots etc.
That is why adobe made a BIG deal out of integrating Metadata..
Now, in above scenario let us assume that you CC in AfterEffects. I'll send you the project via overnight on a hard drive, and tomorrow you open it either via Importing the Project into AE or by opening it in PPRO and hitting replace with AE comp.
You going to get 630 individual layers in the AE Com. The layer names are going to be derived from the source clips. So you are going to be looking at MAX 300 different names. YOU SHOULD be looking at 630 different names. But you are not.
AE will ignore the PPRO clipsnames and just generically name the layers by the source clip name.... Again... even if I had renamed all the source clips in the bins ONE source clip could be contain 7 differen subclips in the whole timeline.. ALL THOSE clips would share the same name... Thus nothing to do with it label..
So, now I have YOU on the phone, breathing down my neck, trying to communicate to me WHICH clip had THAT cool sunrise effect. I DID label it Sunrise... But PPRO and AE messed that up... So I go....
Hoooold On, Shooter..... Let me just open the timeline and count from left to right.... 1,2,3,4,5,6.... 459,,,, Ohhhh there it is... Clip number 459 from the left... Have fun Counting clips.
I hope you understand what I am saying, if not... OK... at least then I can understand why you DONT understand -) (No Disrespect Meant)
You make the following over dramatic claim about how fast your workflow is ....but to me, that would be slow and imprecise.
Based on your questions I can understand why you would feel that way.
I bet you are one of those guys thinking FCPx's event library sucks ;-)
Can you tell me how you name the clips in the workflow you describe here...?
I select the clip, hit ctrl-r (rename clip), give it a name and move on to the next...

After effects composition preview video not working correctly

Okay so, whenever I try to change something on the composition preview video, it doesn't work. I have to go to a completely different screen and go back to see what ive changed, and when I try to ram preview it doesn't even do anything but play the music. Im not very tech savy so I don't know any big words, so try and dumb stuff down for me okay? Please help me, Thank you.

Dude, just do your homework, okay? I, for one, refuse to "dumb it down". It's up to you to get smarter:

Why is firefox randomly playing advertisment clips that are not present on the screen?

I just downloaded Firefox 4 and now whenever I choose a new website or search, some kind of advertisement clip plays. I cannot find any ad box to close it or pause it, but it cuts itself off after about 30-60 seconds. If I stay on the website it repeats the same ad again. (Even on this site I have had random ad clips playing). I am not very computer literate so I don't know if its something I need to do on my end to shush these ads (preferably permanently) or something that I might need to seek help for.

How to undo the "replace with after effects composition" command?

Hi,
I don't know if there is a better way, but i make my color corection in after effects with Color Finesse and i use this command: right click on clip and "replace with after effects composition" - that a good way but, the problem is when i wanna to undo this and to bring back my old clip from an AE Composition.
this is how my clip looks beforee
and after
it works fi i use "undo" command, but after i save the project, and restart premiere, that command is gone.
my question: what can I do to bring back my old video?
thanks.

You can try to go to one of the autosave versions and see if you can bring it back that way (if the history is cleared)...
Seems a little extreme
If you still have the original source audio in your sequence, as your example shows, park the CTI at the beginning of clip instance and target just the audio track (i.e. deselect the video track). Hit the M key to match frame the original master clip, hit I to mark an in point, and then hold down the Alt key and drag the Video Only button from the Source Monitor to the AE comp item. The AE comp will be replaced with the original video and linked to the audio.
The upshot of all this is that, unless you make a duplicate before using the "Replace" command or undo immediately after doing so, there is no direct way to get back to the original footage.

Using premiere pro and replacing with after effects composition

Hi I am using premiere pro CS4.
I have created a multi camera sequence from 2 cameras, on a separate sequence. when I go to replace the time line footage with an after effects composition, after effects starts up but what I get is the footage in the after effects is from the other camera the exact time length.
what can I do to keep the correct footage from each of the cameras on the time line
Thanks
Rodney

I don't think that is possible at all. It may be a limitation on how multicam works. Since it doesn't produce genuinely separate clips, there is no way for AE to determine which one is actually being used currently. I would imagine, that you would have to insert the relevant snippet as a separate clip to get this working....

Replace with after effects composition not bringing in media

When I replace a premiere clip with an after effects comp it creates a new composition but doesn't bring in the media. Anyone have a answer?

I am having the same issue. When I "replace with after effects composition" it creates an AE comp but no media files transfer over.
I've been able to work around it but when I want to use a small clip from a long video file it's a big hassle to re-import the footage into AE and find the clip I need to mess with, then re-place back in premiere.
This problem occurs with any media, whether it's a JPEG image, a PSD file, or video footage (MOV format shot on a Canon DSLR).

After effects composition - right side cut off - last frame in premiere

I have a ppro project - creative suite monthly cs6 - osx 10.9.5 mavericks (latest before yosemite upgrade)
at the end of the project - I have an after effects composition. It is fine until the last frame - where the far right 1/8 or so is being cut off of the slide. (see image below). The frame before the end? perfect. The final frame - cut off.
If I extend the ae composition one frame longer - the same issue happens (the second to the last frame is perfect, the last frame is cut off). same with making it 1 frame shorter.
I have never seen anything like it.
when I check my effects controls - I have nothing active (no opacity, no "crop" etc.) - my height/width are all exactly the same in both frames.
Any ideas?

Hi Teloscientist,
That's the End of Sequence Indicator. Expected behavior. It doesn't show on your exports, so don't worry. In Premiere Pro 2014.1, you can disable it.
Thanks,

Where are you importing from – a camera or computer? If you are optimizing at import, make sure the background processes are completed. (Command-9)

When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

there were frequent purple line appear on photo taken with my iPhone 5 camera, is this the defect of product?

So it looks like I ran out of AppleCare two weeks ago, what a shame. I guess it's not worth $260 to receive a new handset simply for a dusty camera. However this is still annoying due to the fact that the phone shouldn't have dust behind the lens anyway. I think this situation is a bit unfair since this is a malfuntion of hardware and it is also disappointing that so many people have this problem with the iPhone 5 in particular. :X
Thanks for your help though Templeton!

If it doesn't show up your system doesn't support it. It's as easy as that. Refer to the system requirements for the applications.
