After Effects previewing at quarter resolution even with Final Quality setting on

adobe problem 2.gif

 

You can take a look at this GIF (see Youtube video for higher quality). I have adaptive resolution turned on and the setting set to Full quality. It looks fine when it's paused, but when I playback, the shapes and shadow are pixelated at quarter resolution. Later, I turn off adaptive resolution and set it to final quality, but the same problem remains.

 

It may not be visible because of the low quality gif (check the Youtube video to be able to see this), but all the objects including the text and surface (not just the shadow) become pixelated during playback.

I'm not sure what's going on, but this window pops up everytime I open After Effects! No matter what project I open!

 

I chose save and opened the Untitle Project, but it's just an empty project!?

 

Does someone know how to fix this?

 

Thanks All,

LUT Parameter name mutilation

In the Effects Paramter Window the names of the selected LUTs are always truncated after 16 chars and I have to write them down separately (a boring taks as you can imagine). Otherwise there is no chance to figure out what has been selected if the distinguishing letters or numbers come later in a LUT name. The info window shows also nothing of genuine use.

The programmers should use a longer text variable for this, so a full name of a LUT with at least 32 chars is visible. This information is important.

The same applies to the timeline.

I would appreciate if this little but annoying issue could be resolved asap. Thanks.

2d object passing through ring of fire

Basicly i have to animate a 2d cartoon poster
It's going to be a skateboarder jumping through a ring of fire.
Everything is separated to layers so it's easy to work with
I have no idea how to create the effect of the skateboarder passing through the centre of the ring,
ie. skateboarder passing behind foreground of ring of fire but in front of background of ring
i've tried masking and moving objects relative to each other in 3d space it kinda works
but the skateboarder sort've snaps from behind to in front of ring of fire it doesn't really pass through the centre
the only other way i can think is to make the ring of fire's foreground and background two separate layers
any other suggestion would be appreciated
thanks

Is any chances to see After Effects work with REAL 3D data, like point cloud? Real 3D particles? To make 3D compositing FOG, other VOLUMETRIC compositing Effects? 3D camera Projection / mapping ?

Image Sequence Footage comes in at wrong dimensions

I do a lot of time-lapse work, importing TIFF image sequence into After Effects.

Today, I imported a TIFF image sequence. All the images are 4608x3072.

I can confirm this in Adobe Bridge, or by getting command I get info to show the file specs, AND when I import a single on of these images to After Effects, it comes in at 4608x3072.

HOWEVER...when I import the images as an image sequence it comes in at 3072x4608 !!!  That's right, the vertical and horizontal dimensions are transposed, and the images are distorted, stretched tall. How strange.

 

I quit, relaunched and re-attempted - still happens.

 

I attempted an image sequence of only two of they images instead of entire folder. Same result.

If I import a single one of the images, (not an image sequence) the dimensions in After Effects are correct.

If I import image sequence, the dimensions are transposed and image is distorted.

 

Running Mac OS X Yosemite, 10.10.5

Macbook Pro 15 inch 2.8 GHZ Intel Core i7

Please help!

What does it mean when keyframes are drifting off of timeline frame integers?

I just painstakingly cleaned it all up, so I can't provide a screen shot, but all the keyframes in one of my precomps mysteriously drifted a non-integer (very very small) value off of the timeline integer frames, consequently affecting their keyed values (position, opacity, etc).

 

I've never had this happen before and am not sure what I did to prompt it, but I guess I'm just wondering if this is a bug or purposeful in some way.

 

Thanks forum.

Importing Vanishing point VEP file from PSD results in black comp in AE

Hi,

 

I've been trying to use the Vanishing Point technique inside Photoshop and export it to After Effects. I've followed the tutorial and imported my files correctly.

However, once looking at the created comp, I have the camera, the parent object grouping all the assets, and all I can see is a black empty comp with my square parent object in the back. I don't understand what is going on. Does anyone experienced this before?

 

I've tried with different images, and every time is looks the same.

My images are rather simple: un simple cube looking grid.

 

Thanks for any help you could provide!

 

Information:

source image is 3840 x 5760

Photoshop version is 2015.1.2 and AE is 13.8.0.144

I'm unable to do collect from an AE project.

when ever I start doing collect with all the right settings(default settings)

I get an error message saying AE is unable to find a file: everything a different file, everytime a file that is not missing, it is there in the folder that AE reports he can't find, then the collect process begins ending with AE creating the new folder with all the files relevant to the collect being copied to the Footage folder but the only thing that is missing is the new AEP file.

this happened in both AE 2014 (13.0) and AE 2015 (13.5.1)

several write-on effects on one object

Hello

 

I'm trying to reveal a drawing but from several points at the same time.

 

If I apply the effect a couple of times to the layer it either doesn't appear or only one effect will work.

 

I've tried pre-composing the layer and apply write-on to individual solid layers but it only applies once to the precompose layer or the effect applies to the last solid layer.

 

Could anyone one suggest what I might be doing wrong or a way of revealing a drawing from different points at the same time?

 

I have a kind of wireframe sketch that would be a bit difficult to split up into different layers

 

Kind regards

I have a problem with pasting text in a text layer copied from a different application like text editor, word, pages, illustrator etc.

It only pasts copied text after a reboot of AE. Then, if I'de like to paste an other copied text, I have to restart AE again.

Anyone with the same problem? Or, even better, a solution?

transform box size not matching the object size after import

So I've imported a file from Photoshop into AE... but for some reason, the individual layers don't keep their proper sizes.

 

For example, an object in PS looks like this (transform box only around the object),  but in AE the transform box is around the whole composition.

Which makes it very inconvenient to manipulate.

Screen Shot 2016-10-18 at 12.14.49.png

 

I've already tried all the options when importing.

 

Doing the same thing with an Illustrator file works.

 

 

Where's the problem ?

How do i render a video (originally from photoshop) with a transparent background ?

October 18, 2016, 6:39 am

Hello!

 

I have made a short animation to appear on top of a music video in Photoshop CC, the animation is made up of text that appears to "shudder" or "wobble". It's your run of the mill sequence where I wrote out the lettering 6 times and then placed it into timeline (one after the other) and repeated it.

 

What I am struggling with now is rendering the video whilst keeping the transparent background. I am aware that quicktime does not support transparent backgrounds so what I am asking is whether there is a way of exporting my video from photoshop, transferring it into After Effects, and then using AE to render the transparent background?

 

Whenever I try to export from Photoshop the whole video is black with the outline of the text simply flashing at me.

 

Here is an example of what i am looking to achieve!

I really would appreciate any advise!!

 

thanks so much

Issues with Adobe Products Viewport (Cropped & Innacurate Clicks)

October 18, 2016, 6:05 am

I'm experiencing some issues that only seem to be occuring using Adobe products like After Effects and Photoshop. The problem is as follows...

 

1. In After effects all the UI works fine, except the viewport window. When a comp is opened, some of the screen is blanked out/cropped with a bar that's usually black or grey (matching viewport UI background colour). If I zoom out enough, the viewport becomes completely visible, it's almost as if the viewport is not correctly interpreting the screens size.

2016-10-18_13h55_52.png

 

2. When I click in the viewport, I have to move the crosshair a few inches directly below layers elements to select them. If for example I clicked directly on a line or text, it won't be selected as it tries to click above the location of the pointer.

 

I have a high spec PC with a GTX 1080 gpu, lots of memory, up-to-date drivers and the latest CC versions. The same kind of issue seems to happen on and off with Photoshop, sometimes everything works, other times the viewport display shows these errors. I would appreciate any support since it's nearly impossible to get work done at the moment.

Grainy After Effects Keylight

Hey all,

 

I'm using Keylight 1.2 to key out some greenscreen. I've followed a ton of tutorials, all of them make it seem very basic. I've messed around to try and get the perfect key, but most of the outlines always turn out really grainy. It never keys just right. However, if I invert it using screen matte, I get what looks like a perfect key. So I believe it's possible. I'm using MXF files, and they are a tad low-contrast. I brought up the contrast, but that didn't seem to help. The initial image isn't grainy at all.

 

I've messed with both the Screen Matte Clip Black and Clip white, and it get's it close. But there is always flickering grain near the outline of the person.

 

What might I be doing wrong?
