Jagged vector image and text in After Effect Render

$
0
0

So I created a few images in Illustrator (.AI files) and imported them into AE to animate them.

They look perfectly fine in the comp but once they are rendered, they lose quality and look jagged.

Even the text that was added in AE have jaggy edges in the render while in the comp they look crisp.

 

Any idea why that must be happening and how it can be solved?

 

(The comp setting was HDTV 720 29.97. Rendered with Best Settings and Lossless. Continuous Rasterize was on as well.)

 

Thanks!

I have endless loop of diplaying 2 dialog boxes alternately:

After Effects warning: Unknown BIB Error. CT bad param: invalid glyphID, BRV, 0

( 83 :: 3 )

and

After Effects error: CT bad param: invalid glyphID

( 83 :: 2 )

Switching CapsLock don't allow to exit from this dialogs loop.

AE needs to be killed by process explorer.

 

Finally I restore project from autosave, but what to do in this case in future?

After Effects Editable text: Feature refinement request

$
0
0

Not sure if anyone else out there uses this relatively recent feature in Premiere?

 

Within AE, in your comp settings, there is a new check box to allow unlocked text layers to be editable within Premiere.

 

This is a great feature that seems inspired by the identical feature set in Apple's deceased Final Cut Studio- allowing Motion Projects to have text edited and then rendered directly within FCP.

 

One of my clients has a facility that migrated to CC 2 years ago, and the introduction of this feature in CC came none to soon for us- as we had become quite dependent on it for our all our show's packaging graphics, lower thirds/ name keys etc.

 

Anyhow- enough backstory already! I love this feature, but the inability to change font size, kerning etc is nearly a deal breaker. Instead I've had to make 3x the templates in AE, with small, med, large font sizes- but this does not give line by line control.


I'm hopeful that the great team over at Adobe can buff up this feature to its full potential- maybe if the idea generates enough traffic it will happen sooner than later?

 

Here is a feature request I just submitted today. Please do the same if you'd like this functionality asap!

[Bellow are some screen grabs from Premiere, and of the disturbed tomb of FCP7-RIP]

 

*******Enhancement / FMR*********

 

 

Brief title for your desired feature:

AE Editable text: refinements to this great feature.

 

 

How would you like the feature to work?

Give the user in premiere broader control of the text layout. Font size is the #1 issue, but Kerning, tracking would be great too.

 

 

 

 

Why is this feature important to you?

I work at a facility that has utilized Apple's hugely successful FCP studio round tripping of Motion templates for all "Name Keys/ lower 3rds" and other video packaging elements. Having happily switched to CC, we've begun using the existing feature, but have issues building robust templates that can accommodate larger variation of character count. In FCP, we had font size, and tracking controls of motion templates with editable text enabled.

 

 

Great work on this feature! I'm just hoping to get more usefulness out of it

Importing and stabilizing footage from Pre Pro CC to AE cc.

Greetings to all you aftereffects and premiere Pro cc experts.  I have a question that is probably very easy to answer, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.  I have some footage that was poorly shot that was given to me that runs about 60 minutes in length.  I need to stabilize about three minutes of that footage in the middle.  How do I go about getting just that three minutes into aftereffects to stabilize it?  Do I need to cut the footage and then render out just those three minutes?  When I try to import it now into aftereffects and apply the stabilization feature it tries to analyze the entire 60 minutes.  Also, any help that you can offer on the best way to stabilize footage in general would be appreciated.

I have an Element 3D  layer with Metropolitan city scape. I have added a Mini Cooper Model. I have animated the car driving down one of the streets. I have animated a arial camera following and booming down into the car. I then have scene with camera viewing front wind shield from back seat. I have two objects that I want to track with back of front seat of car. What work flow would you suggest?  I have rendered the camera view from back seat and tried to use motion tracking but I am not getting the results I want.  I have tried to get help from tech support from Videocopilot but they are not responding to my emails.

Hey there! I've stared having this issue with CC2014 today. After creating a new comp and importing the assets into the project pool AE immediately crashes as soon as I try to click and drag any asset from the pool (no matter which direction). Tried to restart the system and AE as well as installing previous versions (CC2013 and CS6) but the problem persists there as well. Any ideas?

 

PS Video is attached. Cheers.

Selecting multiple masks by double clicking?

Is it possible to select multiple masks by double clicking on them? I am able do it with one mask but I'm not sure how to combine the selection with other masks.
Would I just have to do it manually by selecting each layer masks in the layers panel?

 

Thanks,

Export AE Animation into iOS

$

I'm working with an illustrator to take After Effects animations and put them into iOS code (SpriteKit specifically).

 

We would like an automated system that takes a complicated After Effects animation (like the one below) and turns it into something iOS/Objective-C/SpriteKit can understand. Or, if this is not the correct process, how do others usually create AE animations in iOS?

Here are a list of resources that I've explored, but none of them actually solve my problem:

Tracking not working with Mocha & AE

$
0

I want to remove bags under the subjects eyes... These are the steps I took

 

- From Premiere, I clicked the clip to replace with AE composite

- From AE, I went to Animation- Track in Mocha

- From Mocha, made my selection, did the track, moved inner points, clicked everything under "Motion" (translation, scale, rotation etc..), clicked large motion

- Clicked on Export Shape Data, went with all layers, (there was only one), and then copied to clipboard

- Went to AE, highlighted my layer in AE, duplicated the layer, and pasted the Shape Data on that layer

- Blurred the layer, but the entire image is blurred rather then the isolated selection (shape data)

 

Here's a video of how I did it.. I did a quick track for the sake of the video, and used inner point for feathering when I actually did it..


I've searched high and low and tinkered with so many settings, cant figure out why its not working.. Can someone shed some light on this? I just want to blur the selection I made in Mocha



I actually got these steps from another tutorial, I followed the steps, and I couldnt replicate the results. Here's that video:Webinar: Digital Makeup & Retouching with Mocha and Adobe After Effects - YouTube

OK this is annoying.


After effects is closed down.

Double click to open existing project.

 

Before the project opens you get the annoying option asking you if you want to save untitled project! Whats that for? I want to open my project, the one I have chosen to open.
Auto save is off, cache directory is empty, latest version.

 

Is there a way to turn this off?

 

Thanks for any help guys.

Dynamic link render times

$
0
0

Im using Creative cloud CC 2014, all up to date, but seem to be having huge issues with dynamic link between premiere and after effects.

ANY dynamically linked clip i try to render in  premiere just to preview takes forever, eg: 92 frames has just taken 17:24. The AE workflow is fairly simple, a mask applied to a layer with a new layer added behind it, some scaling and position changes....thats it.

 

This can not be right,

AE itself seems really clunky compared to older versions, just scrubbing through the timeline can cause the spinny wheel.

RAM previews are slow and take a long time to start.

 

I am aware there was a memory leak issue with AE, but as i am on the latest update, i assumed this was fixed.

 

My machine spec:

2x2.4 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon

26GB of 1066 MhzDDR3 Ram (8Gb reserved for other apps)

Nvidia Quadro K5000

OS X 10.9.5

 

Footage on a separate drive to AE Cache, (set to 500Gb)

Adobe CC 2014 13.1.1.3 UI/Interface too large!!

Working on a 1920x1080 resolution monitor and just installed CC 2014. I bought this monitor to have more space when working in AE and with CS6 and CC it served that purpose perfectly! Now with CC 2014 everything is large and its as if in working on a notebook screen. Any one relate?

AE CC 2014 audio preview speed up error... "chipmunking" randomly

$
0
0

I"ve been having an issue where the audio during a full RAM preview with video or even if it's just audio preview (no visual) will play sped up. Sometimes it will speed up after having previewed correctly once, but every subsequent time will result in "chipmunking". This has happened on two different workstations.

 

These are wav files for the audio. The framerate is correct in the preview window.
