Re: Encoder output video is blank, but with sound.

Ok. That great that you tryed so many ways before you asked - that is really great because that mean that yo really try to resolve your issue. But tell us and show us some specs:
- what OS
- what AE version
- screenschot of your final comp that your rendering
and anything more that can show us the issue.
What do you mean blank? There is no video or you have white/black screen or some test patterns or what. And how do you try to play those videos - on what player?

Hi

 

Thanks for responding.  Sorry for the delay I didn't have my work computer with me on Friday and I was out of the office.  The link below is for the video clip I am working on.  I understand I am hoping that there is something i can do in Adobe.  If the base cannot be removed due to how the product is rotating if there is a way to at least removed the power cord that could work as well.

 

Thank you Again

 

Carl

Layer Hits Error When Using Variable in Expression Linked to Slider

$
0
0

I'm using Dan Ebberts' inertial bounce code. If I leave the variables as simple assignments, like below, it works:

 

amp = .25;
freq = 2.0;
decay = 6.0;



n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time){
n--;
}}



if (n == 0){ t = 0;
}else{
t = time - key(n).time;
}



if (n > 0){
v = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - thisComp.frameDuration/10);
value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
}else{value}

 

However, if I create and link Sliders to modify those variables (so as to do so globally within the file) it catches an error:

 

amp = thisComp.layer("Bounce Controls").effect("Amp")("Slider");
freq = thisComp.layer("Bounce Controls").effect("Freq")("Slider");
decay = thisComp.layer("Bounce Controls").effect("Decay")("Slider");

n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time){
n--;
}}

if (n == 0){ t = 0;
}else{
t = time - key(n).time;
}

if (n > 0){
v = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - thisComp.frameDuration/10);
value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);

}else{value}

 

The error is:

"Error at line 19 in property 'Scale' of layer 18 ("Title_of_Layer") in comp 'Title_of_Comp'. Invalid numeric result (divide by zero?)., an expression was disabled as a result of an error."

 

Any insights on why? The variables are (in theory) identical. I'm sure I'm just missing something in the fundamentals. Thanks for any help!

For those of you for whom the driver update did not resolve the crash, could you try this.

 

Open the Windows Program Compatibility Troubleshooter

Select Adobe After Effects CC 2019 as the program you are having trouble with.

Select "Try recommended settings" as the troubleshooting option.

Test the program and see if this now allows you to launch AE.

 

We have reports that this is a successful workaround for this issue in both AE and PPro.

Re: error (515) (25 ::101), can't launch Analysis Server Adobe After Effects CC

First try to launch it as an Admin. If this doesn't work, you should also try to turn off your virus scanner and your firewall. A good option on Windows is to just use Windows Defender and Windows10FirewallControl. Then just add C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 20xx\Adobe After Effects CC 20xx and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 20xx\Support Files\Adobe Analysis Server to the authorized apps for your firewall in defender and enable all your Adobe Programms in Windows10FirewallControl. Often this problem is caused by a blocked QT32 Server, Dynamic Links Manager and CEP HTML Engine. Watch out for these.

Windows 10 is the OS, AE, Premier, and Media Encoder are all 2019 CC.

The screen is black (and sometimes green) on VLC Media Player.  Windows Media Player won't play the video(s) at all.

Re: AE MOTION TRACKER IS GARBAGE

THE....TRACKING...IS ... GARBAGE...

 

could not be more clear about that, and it IS indeed the software... anyone who thinks otherwise isn't doing as many tracks as they want people on the Adobe forum to think they are doing; which may also be the reason neither of you have any actual knowledge on the matter, you just LOVE to come on here and to run your mouth as if that is the same as being an expert in the software. It's a lose/lose for you... anyone who has done 10 tracking shots in any Adobe program sees how limited its tracking abilities are almost instantly, so why do you two insist on making fools of yourselves?

 

The smoking gun is this... on a clip where the subject holding the track mark hardly moves, and the track mark successfully seems to hold steady through the duration of the clip... a layer that is then attached to the track mark will move left, right, up, and down where no movement is present in the shot. It's simple, repeatable, and proves the claim that After Effects motion tracking is 100% garbage.

Well, then, you need to look at those AE tutorials in that link.  You can't expect to use this application by just fooling around with it.

Re: AE and AME 2019 crashing a lot

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but looking in the event log the crash report

 

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}

to the user {i blanked this part out} from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

 

I've done an hour of research, and so far it has shown to be a DCOM permission issue related to Microsoft system upgrade.   I'm still searching for the answer to fix.

Wow, I'm glad you know so much about After Effects!

 

This must mean you know about matching your AE version to the right operating system, and matching the right graphics card driver, right?

You must know effects of media containers codecs and trackable points on a good 3D track backwards & forwards.

You certainly have to know the effects of the sizes of two boxes in the point tracker as they relate to motion in the video.

And I bet you're an ace with tracking in Mocha.

 

I'd have to look up some of this stuff, but I bet you don't!

I was wrong-- the error has nothing to do with the added Slider controls.

 

I found an answer from Dan Ebberts himself:

<quote>

My guess is that the value of t must be getting large enough to cause the Math.exp() function to overflow. [...] Try changing the first line of the last section from this:

 

if (n > 0){

 

to this:

 

if (n > 0 && t < 1){

<end quote>

360 VIDEO: Importing and compositing 3D objects from cinema 4d into AE

Dear people,

 

I have a 360 video in after-effects, perfectly stitched and recorded from a tripod.

I want to add 3d objects into in the 360 scene.

In after effects i want to turn around with the camera and that the 3d objects stay in place.

 

How add the scene into cinema 4d? and how to save or export from cinema 4d to after effects?
and switch back and forward to make changes?

 

 

Big thanks from Holland!!


After Effects Extremely Blurry While Continuous Rasterize On

I have made some vector grapics and imported them into Affter Effects and they are extremely blurry. Even while the continuous rasterize option is on for all layers. Furthermore some of them are shape layers within After Effects itself!

 

Screenshots before and during playback of a STILL IMAGE ( I have yet to animate anything because its unworkable really...)

 

Before

Not playing.PNG

 

During:

Playing.PNG

 

 

As you can see my resolution is set to "Full" and my fast previews is set to "off".
And because I have already searched for this issue and read some of the reply's to the others, I know to let you know, that; yes both the illustrator and aftereffects are set to RBG.

 

Even after rendering this to h.264 match source high bitrate (the comp size is 1920 x 1080) the video it outputs is also blurry.after render.PNG

Hey guys,

 

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you on this.. right after this, I got knocked down with a heavy cold I am just removing from.  Digging myself out of a bit of a backlog right now, but I will get back to this.

 

The piece in question did approved though, first by our EP and then by Disney, so I am good, but there are lingering questions on my part.

 

Thank you so much for the assistance to this point.

Re: After Effects Extremely Blurry While Continuous Rasterize On

In the Second screen shot, the comp is zoomed into 200%.  Anything will look pretty bad at that amount of magnification.

 

As for the H.264, it's a codec that has issues with straight edges and areas of high contrast, both of which are present.  Also, "match source high bitrate" doesn't mean much unless there's high-quality source video.  Is there?
