You need to release the clip shape and separate in another layer. Ungroup all of this. And to be honest, you don't need to import an image from AI to AE, just import the original image directly to AE. Use the AI to draw the mask shapes in separated layers And as Roei already said, use Alpha mates.

Re: After Effects Error:Source file has no importable streams
The exciting bit is that AFX can still export QT animation codec, and import those files, but any of my older QT animation codec files give this error.
I swear I looked through all the documentation when they were saying there was going to be some issues with old codec, and no one said Animation codec in QT was on the chopping board.
What a freak'n pain.
I have 3 episodes of an animated web series with about 800 QT master files...

Re: Rotobrush only selecting highlighted area
I don't see much in your shot for Rotobrush to work with. You need some contrast and edges. Have you gone through the tutorials? I don't know anybody that figured out how to use Rotobrush by just poking around in the UI. You have to study up and you have to use it on the right kind of footage.

Re: Recreating Smoke
I would strongly suggest that you go to the Red Giant site and dive into the tutorials for Particular. It's almost impossible to figure it out without doing some serious homework. It would be hard to give you settings on the forum that would work for your application and there are so many variables that your best bet is to educate yourself on the proper techniques. The Red Giant site is the best resource for that.
It is also so easy to drag screenshots to this forum or use the tools to link to an image on the web that we would appreciate it if you just include images in your posts. It's less work than posing on another site and creating a link.

Oh yah. I've actually seen that tutorial before. It's a great one. Thanks

Re: Animating Clipping Masks
Thanks a lot, Lucas Lago. Within the next days, I'll try again to import the Ai file to Ae, using your hints (and the hints of Roei Tzoref).
Is it that you recommend to separate ALL of the images into ONE layer of Ai and ALL of the clipping masks into another?
Importing the Ai file into Ae (or An) would help to reconstruct all of the artwork within Ae (or An)...

If Else Statement not working?
Hey,
Before the 2019 update for After Effects, my expression for a countdown clock was working a treat. Now the If else statement seems to have had a definition change and I can't seem to find where the issue is. Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening?
Here is the original expression:
rate = -1;
clockStart = 899.97;
function padZero(n){
if (n < 10) return "0" + n else return n;
}
clockTime = Math.max(clockStart + rate*(time - inPoint),0);
t = Math.floor(clockTime);
min = Math.floor((t%3600)/60);
sec = Math.floor(t%60);
msec = clockTime.toFixed(2).substr(-2);
padZero(min) + ":" + padZero(sec) + ":" + msec;
Thanks

Joysticks n Sliders
Hello,
I am an animation student who is fairly novice with AE. I have come across many artist using Joysticks n Sliders to create wonders with it and I wasn't too sure how to get my hands on that. I found a website with 100's of plugins for AE which leads me too ask (1) is Joysticks N sliders already included in AE or must one purchase it via a plugin? (2) If so, what is a trusted marketplace for such adobe plugins? and (3) Are there any other plugins like it that can help improve character animation?
Thanks, any help is appreciated!
Please don't respond if your going to disrespectfully address my lack of knowledge to the software, just looking for honest help.

Hello,
Did you make the original project files by After Effects CS6? I searched the forum and found the same problem in the past post. I hope this link helps you.

Re: Joysticks n Sliders
1. No
2. Aescripts.com
3. Yes, you will find most of them there, but also worth mentioning tools like “rubberhose” and “duik” (google and you will get there)

Re: If Else Statement not working?
if (n < 10) return "0" + n else return n;
}
You sure that's proper syntax?
Shouldn't it be
if(condition) {code} else {code}
???
Also AE should be telling what line the error is on. You don;t get an error message?

Re: If Else Statement not working?
Gutterfish is right. Adobe changed the expression-engine in CC2019 to a strict one.
Hold on proper syntax and it will work again.

Photoshop/Premiere/AE- start screen shows black
Hello,
I have some trouble with the latest Adobe Versions.
I start the Software, as soon as it is loaded, the start screen shows black.
I can skip the screen when I select File-new-Project, then I can work normally with the Software, although not with Photoshop.
I guess it is my GPU ( Nvidia Quadro M3000).
In the Photoshop Preferences I disselected the GPU.-Still the same Problem.
The GPU Driver is updated.
Thanks for help

New Tutorial: Stabilized Precomps with the new mocha Plugin bundled with Ae and MochaImport+
I just published this tutorial about a very powerful compositing workflow using the mocha plugin that is bundled with Ae CC 2019 and our extension MochaImport+ V6:
In this tutorial we use a stabilized precomp to manipulate the facade of a building: We add additional windows and even an oriel in just five minutes - even though the shot has a moving camera.
If you have any questions about this workflow, feel free to ask them here :-)
