Quickly change text color

$
0
0

Is there a more efficient way to change text colors clicking the font color in the Character panel opening up the dialog and entering the color.  I have two colors I want to switch back and forth in a composition and I'd like to select the text and ideally use a library color but it doesn't switch the color.  There has to be a better way than selecting the text and clicking the color in the the Character panel then manually dialing in each change between the two desired colors?

 

What am I missing?

Not able to create outlines from AI layers

Hi,

 

It’s been a little time since I last opened AE, and now I’m running into an error that prevents me for working on anything. I’m importing AI files as comps, with each object in layer. Usually, I then « create layers from vector layers » so I can use the objects created on AI as AE shapes.

 

Except this message appears instead:

aftereffets_ai.png

After Effects error: Could not create outlines. Unsupported file type.
( 26 :: 0 )

I don’t know what to do.

I’m using the latest AE and AI from the Creative Cloud. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling AE, and saving my AI in older CS6 versions. It’s not working better.

 

Does someone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Missing dll file error when trying to install C4D Lite manuals

When I try to install the manuals for C4D Lite, I get this error.
dazmanualinstallerror.jpg

Note that both C4D Lite and AE start. I just can't get the manuals.

Adobe won't give me any support for the manuals, and Maxon doesn't offer support for C4D Lite. I've reinstalled AE twice (I have the latest version from Creative Cloud). I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

De-essing

Hello,

 

Is there any way to de-ess audio in After Effects CS6, or any plugin that would do it?

De-essing is basically removing annoying "shh" and "ess" sounds from the audio.

 

Thanks.

Error: "File couldn't be opened for writing" with CinemaDNG sequence

$

Using a Premiere Pro > After Effects workflow with my colorist.

 

I created a project in Premiere CS6 and used MOV transcodes because Premiere CS6 does not read CinemaDNG sequences. I do not have CC installed on my computer. My colorist, on his computer (we are both using Mavericks), imported the .prproj into AE CS6. We tried to replace MOV files with CinemaDNG sequences, and AE returned this error:

 

After Effects error: File couldn't be opened for writing: "[file path]". ( 3 :: 0 )

 

Normally when you replace footage with a CinemaDNG sequence in AE, Adobe Camera Raw pops open so you can make changes before the file is important. I have never seen this error before.

 

My colorist has CC installed as well as CS6, so we tried that instead.

Colorist opened the Premiere CS6 project in Premiere CC, creating a new Premiere CC project. Replaced MOV files with CinemaDNG sequences within Premiere CC with no error, project plays fine in Premiere CC. Finally! So we imported the new Premiere CC project in AE CC, and all linked CinemaDNG sequences appear as color bars (unlinked footage). When testing to import a CinemaDNG sequence, AE CC returned the same error as AE CS6.

 

 

So we tried opening the same CinemaDNG files in Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC to see if there was an error with Camera Raw. Both versions of Photoshop open the CinemaDNG files correctly in Camera Raw (version 8.3). So now we have CinemaDNG files functioning properly in Premiere Pro, Photoshop, but... not AE?

 

Tried replicating this on a second, Mountain Lion computer with both versions of AE, and returned the same issue.


CinemaDNG files from a different source DID open in AE CC and AE CS6 on both computers, which leads me to believe there is some kind of permissions/metadata issue in this particular set of CinemaDNG files I'm using that's causing problems for AE, but NOT Premiere Pro or Photoshop. Anyone experience anything like this?

When opening AE, when saving a project, I get this: After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/jill/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/Adobe After Effects 10.0-x64 Prefs'.  Project shows, then disappears when click OK.

AE CC 2015 crashed on Startup OSX 10.10.5

This issue actually occurs with multiple Adobe CC products, but After Effects gives the most information when it crashes on startup.

I am on running OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 all the details of my system and the crash are in the screenshot.

 

After Effects Crash info.jpg

 

I was away from work for three months, and I don't know what was installed on the machine while I was away but this install was working perfectly fine when I left. This problem also occurs with Premiere Pro CC 2015 and Adobe Audition CC 2015. With both of those IT simply shows Adobe XXXX CC 2015 quit unexpectedly.

 

This machine is also used with ProPresenter 5, and a Blackmagic Design ultrastudio, to connect to a Digital Video switcher for keying titles and other graphics.

 

Sketchup 2016 was installed while I was away(the only software that I could find that was installed) and  I uninstalled it again with no effect.

 

I have tried updating and even reinstalling after effects but still it crashes.

Since AE update can no longer see any animated text presets in preview

$

I am trying to create a dynamic link in Adobe Premiere Pro 2015.2 build 9.2.0(41) to make an animated text opening title using Adobe After Effects 13.7.2.3, but I can no longer see the animated text presets since I upgraded. I am running Mac OSX 10.9.5.

 

Before I just had to create a dynamic link in PP and it opened a new project in AE. There I could browse the presets in Bridge, and once chosen just click on the required animated text preset and it produced a sample text. If I scrolled across the AE timeline I could see the text animated. So I would scroll until the text was fully visible, then just select the text and edit to what was required.

 

However now, I just see a red bar in the centre of the preview pane. (see attached screenshot) It doesn't change if I scroll across the timeline.

 

Is anyone else having the same issue, or am I just missing something very obvious?

Adobe Ae is missing an important step in the tutorial.

My question is about setting up my maximum disc cache size, and creating the folder for it. See below.

Screen Shot 2016-05-10 at 1.08.08 AM.png

What do I do? The guy in the tutorial mentions that it's important, but never gets back to answering it.

.......................................................................................... .......................................................................................... ................................................................................

Below this is the path for Adobe Tutorial Guides to find and correct the missing information.

 

Step one, click view tutorial for Ae

1one.png

 

Step 2          UNDER  2.Essential for beginners> click on create your first project and a video should play.

2two.png

 

 

Step 3       Skip to 2:36 in the video, and watch how the question never gets answered.

Step 4     Now go to 1:05 in the video and ask yourself why the tutorial guy just told you that the help and support link takes you to help and support.

 

Cheers!

After Effects CS6 boot problem

Hey all,

 

Wondering if I can get a little help. I've just been purchased a new Macbook Pro for work, and had Production Premium CS6 installed on it. Ive booted all the apps and they work fine after installation and inputting the key.

 

However for After Effects, when I try and start it, I don't even get a splash screen. Just the attached problem dialogue. I have tried to look on the forums but couldn't find anything about boot problems previous to the splash screen - the programme wont even begin to start.

 

I have tried a uninstalling and reinstalling, same problem again. When I press OK it takes me to a screen to suggest a work-around, but wont let me open the link when it says its got a solution.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is the error screen it comes up with:

I bought a GTX 750 Ti with CUDA and wanted to accelerate my after effects projects but the card Seems to be not supported... I wonder why ? It's an Nvidia with CUDA drivers and it isn't an old card.. maybe I am missing something but it would be cool to use all my hardware for accelerate my workflow and my renders.

 

thanks in advance.

Been working for 5 days on the same project, same settings. Rendering worked fine the first 3 days. The last 2 days I'm getting this:

 

Screen Shot 2016-05-10 at 19.31.32.png

 

 

Started the project from scratch and the problem was solved, until it happened again after 3rd render session. Resolution was always set on Quarter.

I've emptied cache and restarted but that doesn't seem to work.

Why is this happening and how do I solve this problem?
