3D Tracking Object Moving too Much

$
0
0

Hello

 

I have added a link to the footage to help understand my problem. I shot this footage very quickly because I wanted to try out using 3D objects, the polaroids are PSDs that have been turned into 3D objects. I have used 3D camera tracker on the video footage to track the points. I have also used warp stabilzer on the original base footage. I am not sure how to make the floating polaroids more still, I am guessing it has to do with the tracking? Does anyone have suggestions, I am brand new to 3d tracking but want to learn more!

 

Thanks

Tyrone

Why is it looping a section of my video?

I'm in the middle of a curtain opening project, and when I try to play it back to preview what I did so far, it only plays a few seconds of my video and then keeps looping. As far as I know, I toggled the loop play to "off." I have no idea what the problem is.

 

Here is a link to a screenshot of what I'm doing:

Help with "After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {effect param_index out of range ([1...num_streams-1])} (5027 :: 150)"

Hi all!

 

I've been having some issues with vector files lately and this is the latest one. When I click on a particular imported .EPS file this error pops up. The file is visible and it only appears if I click on it in the project bin or timeline. When I click "ok" i can keep working, but every time I click it it reappears. I saved it as a .AI as well and it still occurs.

 

After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {effect param_index out of range ([1...num_streams-1])} (5027 :: 150)

 

I'm on a Mac:

El Capitan 10.9.5

NVIDIA 78M Card

I've opened the same file on two other similar (but not identical) iMacs and it's worked fine. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!

Auto Trace Colors

Hello!

I am trying to create the reveal logo effect - I use auto trace to trace the logo and then apply the generate stroke effect and it works perfectly. However the logo turns out white and in the original image it has two colors. How can I keep the colours using this method. Can I keep the colours of the original image when I use auto tracing or can I fill them somehow?

Thanks!

I can't get my text to show up in After Effects. Can you help?

Recently when working in After Effects my text has not been appearing. The layer shows up as being there, but I can't see the words on the preview screen. I've disabled all other layers, changed the color and font size, but nothing seems to make the text appear on the screen. I've tried troubleshooting the problem by reading on the forums but I can't seem to get anything to work. I'm using after effects CS6 version 11.0.0.378 on a Mac with OS X software version 10.7.5.

Can you help? Here's a screenshot of my workspace.AAE text does not work.png

Roto brush's boundary not visible with hand tool

When I use the roto brush, if I switch a hand tool or move the view by middle mouse button, background disappears.

 

Here's the correct view, but if I switch to hand tool, or press and hold the middle mouse button and move the mouse,

suddenly brings this view. To back to correct view, I have to zoom in/out to refresh the view.

I think there is a bug in the code of refreshing the view.

 

Is there any solution? Or I have to wait for next update?

 

--- Some updates ---

There seems to have multiple ways to back to normal view, for example

- Press alt (switch to "minus" tool)

- Move mouse cursor to outside of the viewer screen

- Zoom in/out

After Effects Motion Tile Problem

$
0
0

Hi,

I wanted to do a simple zoom out transition between 2 clips so what I have been usually doing is to add motion tile on both the clips and on top of them add an adjustment layer. After adding the transform effect on the adjustment layer, I set the scale to 70 and recently I've been experienceing an issue where the motion tile effect on the clip disappears. The effect itself on the clip is toggled on and nothing is changed but when I change the scale on the transform, there are black borders as shown in the image.

first.png

If I change the scale measure on the actual clip itself (which is a work around but limits many things), it works (image below) and there are no black borders but I would like to know why the transform on the adjustment layer removes the effects of the motion tile on the clip.

If anyone knows the solution, please help,

Thank you

After Effects not seeing PostScript Fonts

Hello all,

 

After applying the latest update for AE and Premiere this morning, I noticed that neither program lists PostScript Type 1 fonts in their respective font menus. AE CC 2017 still lists (sees) the PostScript  Type 1 fonts correctly. Did I miss a notification regarding dropping support of PostScript  Type 1 fonts or is something amiss? Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator still see PostScript  Type 1 fonts. Seems to have only affected the video applications?

Thanks for any help!

Can I just buy the program and use it like the good old days? Or is everything a like AE and CS6 a money vacuum?

(Bonus question, is this where EA got their idea for sucking up peoples money?)

CC Page Turn - Can not set Fold Radius to zero

$

0

I am using CC Page Turn effect to create a page turn. I have two sides to a page. LEFT and RIGHT pages. The animation opens with the two pages stacked on top of each other. The I applied the CC Page Turn to the LEFT page to flip open that page to the left. Everything is working fine, except I can not set the Fold Radius to Zero. The lowest that I can go 4. That's a problem in that it leaves a 4 pixel wide gap between the LEFT page and RIGHT page in the open position.

 

Is there any way I can set the radius to 0 so that there is no gap??

 

Thank you.

I am new to After Effects, but have searched Google and have been unable to find the answer. I am practicing with After Effects and noticed when I put a composition into the timeline there are two bars. Both seem to be re sizable, one is behind and one is in front. What is this second bar and what is the difference between both of them?

error while scaling outlined vector shapes by small increments

$

Hi,

After updating AE to a newer version and opening some of my older files I am getting a visual error on some projects.
I realized, it has something to do with scaling the objects.

 

As you can see here, if this letter has scaling of 109% for example, it appears normal:109.jpg

Just as I change scale to 108%, it totally changes appearance:

108.jpg

It reacts the same way on various scale points. At 100% it looks broken again, at some 96% looks fine etc.
Any idea why this is happening??
To me it looks like the paths are rendering wrong for no reason, their settings are untouched, but scaling affects them randomly.

after effects import output and render settings by command line

Hi!

 

I want to use aerender in docker to render multiple videos. I was able to install after effects and it works so far. But unfortunately I have a problem: I want to use a custom render- and output module template. Normally, with gui I would just import it, but I don't know if there is a command for command line to import it, so I tried an alternative:

 

I copied these settings:

• Adobe After Effects 15.1 Prefs-indep-output.txt

• Adobe After Effects 15.1 Prefs-indep-render.txt

 

from my normal computer (from path .../AppData/Adobe/After Effects/15.1) to the config folder on the docker image

But whenever I try to run aerender, I get the following error:

 

aerender version 15.1.1x12 After Effects warning: Invalid menu operation.

After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup

 

Is there any solution for this problem?

Hello.

 

Move this to the right thread, I did not found the right one.

 

We have Adobe After Effects CS6 licence issue in our company. We are registered as [emails removed by mod] or older [emails removed by mod, please use private message when being contacted by Adobe].

 

We are not able to move this licence to new computer. It says that licence key is wrong so I am not able to install it. I do not want to paste the key into forum. Could you verify the licence key? How should I send it to you?

 

Thanks.
