Re: importing video fps problem not Real time
Two things you should know:
1) You can't play ANYTHING in AE. It's not an editing application, and it doesn't work like one... as in, "push the spacebar and video plays". Nope. You have to do a RAM Preview by hitting the zero key on the numeric keypad.
2) You'll save yourself days of frustration and anger by learning the basics, which can be found here:

Re: dfMultiple Layer Grouping
Precompose them. Precomps in AE are one of the multitude of things you can learn from the pros by spending quality time here:

Apple hides the Library folder by default.

Re: How can I enable GPU tracing?
Thanks for your direction to the Cinema 4D. It looks interesting, but I want to master better what I already have.

Re: After Effects Error 5070 :: 2 Please Help !
I found the library folder, but I still cant find the folder for "frameworks." Also, I removed the CUDA driver (or thought I did), but After Effects still gives me the error mentioned above.
The odd thing about this is that After Effects was working slow, but fine before I attempted to update the CUDA driver. But after I installed it, Ray-traced 3C doesn't work at all? Any idea anyone?

2.5D/Parallax that is truly impresive
Have a watch of this presentation. I've been looking at 2.5D for a while and this simply inspires me creatively. Has anyone worked on anything in AE like this? Thoughts?

No problem! And that's usually a wise choice.
(Although, since the After Effects team is no longer developing the ray-traced renderer and are putting their focus on improving the C4D/AE integration for the future, it might be a wiser idea to master the upcoming tools rather than the essentially obsolete ray-traced route.)

Parenting Layer Positions - Can Variations Be Added?
If I parent one layer to a child layer, then the child layer will move exactly the same as the parent layer. If the parent layer moves 200 pixels to the right, then the child layer will move 200 pixels to the right.
Is there a way to vary the way the child layer moves? Say, a lesser percentage of pixels?
See below. The parent layer is the right pupil, and the child layer is the left pupil. Both pupils are centered, and look like they're in the right place.
The right pupil parent layer moves to the right, and the child layer left pupil moves the same distance. It's starting to look wrong.
The right pupil parent layer moves all the way to the edge of the eyeball. Now the child layer pupil has left the eye socket, and seems kind of other-worldly.
Is there a way to tell the child layer to somehow move less than the parent layer? Say, 70% or 80% of the distance of the parent?

Re: After Effects CS5 Mac says "Quicktime is not installed on this system, some components...
Didn't work for me, unfortunately. I've tried every single thing in the Troubleshooting Quicktime Errors blogpost to no avail. Still pops up with the "Quicktime is not installed" even though I can open up the Quicktime Player, look at the DLLs, etc... I've got the Windows Firewall completely disabled, no other software on this machine but AE. So frustrating.

Re: Quicktime is not installed on this System?? (adobe after effects cs6)
I've gone through that whole troubleshooting document and it does not solve the problem for CS6. I have a machine with just Render Engine installed and it throws this error when trying to run AE:RE. Quicktime 7.7.6 is installed (Quicktime Player opens up fine). There is no Adobe QT32 Server.exe for CS6 as far as I can tell.
Please help!

Re: Parenting Layer Positions - Can Variations Be Added?
You would have to do that with expressions using a value + and linear() argument. For example if the left pupil was named "master" you could write an expression for the position property of the right pupil this way:
mp = thisComp.layer("master").transform.position; // master Position
cc = [thisComp.width/2, thisComp.height/2]; // comp center
pp = value - cc + mp; // adjusted position of slave layer
[pp[0] * 1.2 , pp[1]]
The multiplier in the X axis means that the slave layer would move 1.2 times as fast in X toward the right as the master layer. You could add a slider to make this easy to dynamically adjust the spacing of your pupils.
Another approach would be to make the master layer the parent of the slave and then add a slider to animate the offset in X. Something like this would work.
xVal = value[0];
f = effect("Slider Control")("Slider")/100;
mpx = thisComp.layer("master").transform.position[0];
nx = f * mpx;
[nx + xVal, value[1]]
Bear in mind that I wrote these without the luxury of testing them in AE so there may be some problems but they should work pretty well.

Re: 2.5D/Parallax that is truly impresive
There were some nice parts but way too much wobbly camera and tilt and swing for me. I know when a sequence is working well when I can turn off the sound and it's still tells a powerful story.
Absolutely the best photo montage using 2.5D techniques (or The Kid Stays in the Picture) is from the documentary Last Best Hope. Here's the sequence from that (unfortunately I can't embed it) Last Best Hopt Photo Montage
Here's a little more about the production. Last Best Hope: A True Story of Escape, Evasion, and Remembrance

(OT) Something changed on the forums today that fouled up Safari
I posted this on the Forum Comments thread to see if anyone answers.
What changed Today - Latest Safari 8.0.2 wreaks havoc with forums
Basically, in Safari you cannot copy and paste a link from a discussion to a new window or open a discussion in a new tab or window without getting a Forbidden error. Happened today on all three machines that we have running the latest Safari. Funny thing is that we did the update December 14 and the problem only showed up this afternoon...

changing the language in After Effects cs5
Hello, I'm trying to change the language in After Effects cs5 from German to English on a mac (10.8.5 osx). I've tried going to package contents/resources/AMTlanguages and changing de_DE to en_US but when I restart it and enter the serial number it says its incorrect for this product. I was able to change photoshop without any trouble but does anyone know if AE has a language specific license? help please and thank you!
