Ah. Render settings: 1920x1080, file source output as 32-bit PSD; layers are multi-pass beauty with 6 lights (diff, spec, shadow), 24 fps, colour management OFF, sound file. See attached for layer structure of master comp and a layer comp. Layer comp has adjustment layer with gamma correction and tint at 40%.layers-info.jpg

Sorry if Im not clear its been a headache.

Heres the diagram we made of how we want this to go down: http://i.imgur.com/CRFQ3Dx.jpg

 


I didnt link an AE file / comp or anything cause we dont have anything actually made yet. I wanted to get the technique down before I made it.

 

Yea I the tree's going to be swaying the entire scene (maybe even some of the nest). Is puppet pins not the way to go about this? You would think there would be some sort of puppet pin thats like "place a pin here so it appears behind OTHER LAYERS" and not just itself.

Please just drag your images and screenshots to this forum. I don't click on outside links that I don't recognize for obvious reasons. I don't think your link is working. If you are on windows just select the layers you are experimenting with, press the u key twice to reveal the modified properties and then PrintScreen and paste to this forum. It couldn't be easier. If you are on a Mac Shift + Ctrl/CMnd + 3 will take a screenshot and deliver it to the desktop. Just drag it to the forum.

 

Puppet pin meshes are based on the opacity of a layer. The mesh can extend beyond the edge of the alpha channel by making adjustments to the mesh. You can set one pin to move in front of another so arms can swing in front of a body on one side and behind on the other.

 

Have you spend some time with the help files and the community resources available when you type Puppet Pin in the search help field. It is not a tool that you can efficiently use without doing some serious study and experimentation and the help files are pretty good.

Not recognizing an imgur link was the most surprising thing ive read today. Ive been posting my problem on other forums and using a central link so people can see what im talking about, sorry. From the sound of all this it looks like im going to have to use clever image layering to get this done.

Bird, tree and background on different layers.

I would animate the bird using puppet pin, animate the tree using puppet pin, pre-compose the tree, precompose the bird, duplicate the tree pre comp and draw a mask so you can put the bird between the two copies of the tree and get it to enter the hole.

 

Nothing magic, just layers.

 

BTW, it's not that I didn't know what the link to the graphic was it's just a pain to go to it when it takes absolutely no effort to embed an image. Easier then comping and pasting a link. It also did not work on my phone.

Light wrap not found

Working on a project on my desktop machine, I have light wrap on a bunch of composited shots of people speaking. I get home, plug into my laptop, and it tells me light wrap is missing. I look in my effects and light wrap is in the folder exactly where it was located on the desktop machine. Anyone know why this error would come up? I don't get it since it's clearly there in the same folder structure.

 

Thanks,

Steven

Version of AE down to the last decimal point please. Make sure it is up to date. OS please? Anything changed since the last time this was working? Have you reset preferences and rebooted? If you search Light Wrap or Wrap in the Effects and Presets panel does anything show up?

 

You did not give us much to go on. I have never seen a standard effect fail to load unless something new has happened to the computer like a new install of something, a crash, some new anti virus updates or something like that.

These numbers appear to show that MP slows down rendering using a RAM disk. I would have hoped the reverse.

How so? A cache is a cache is a cache. You have a wrong idea what it takes to calculate all those hashes and check cache integrity. Disk speed isn't everything. Also you are using EXR files to begin with, which in CS6 are slow as hog due to the file loader being poorly optimized. Only a faster processor will do anything, if at all.

What Rick said. throwing around generic "this doesn't work." statements is of no use to anyone.

However, what can I do to speed up the render time?

As Rick already said without any specifics nobody can even begin to advise. From file I/O to how some effects and features work there is a million things that influence render speed. This can ever only be tackled on a specific basis. The rest is just experience on how to tame the beast and avoid certain pitfalls. There's no magic button to make every project render fast.

Hello Szalam

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

You said that I should install the new system so that the AfterEffect runs again (because the Program After Effect was running bevor).

 

In the screenshot (attached) you can see - currently I have OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.5  - can’t update to 11.04 EL CAPITAIN first i get the message i need to install „10.11.“ ?¿  But 10.11 does not exist ?¿

 

I work with CS5 and CS6 Programms and don’t want to buy the CC Programms because then i need a new Computer.

 

Please - What  I have to do to make  my AfterEffect-Program run again???

 

Thank you

AE CS6 must be updated to version 11.0.4 to work on newer Mac OSs.

After Effects start-up error (127) - plug-in "PremiereProImport.aex" could not be loaded

$

Hello. After updating to the most recent Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere versions, I am getting this new error whenever I try to launch AE.

 

Error:

After Effects error: plug-in "PremiereProImport.aex" could not be loaded (127).

 

 

( 48 :: 46 )

Djwj3jH.png

Note: Whenever I click File -> Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project, I can successfully import the project (no error message or anything)

 

My drivers are all up to date, and I haven't tried a suggestion I found that says to "Delete "PremiereProImport" plugin file from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2017\Support Files\Plug-ins\Format\PremiereProImport folder." I 100% do not want to reinstall Adobe After Effects because I am on a limited data plan and do not want to lose data over a bug that I could potentially fix without wasting as much data as downloading AE again.

 

Please help, thanks.

Hello Ziven!

 

I had the same problem and the solution for me was to download a registry cleaner software. In my case Auslogics Registry Cleaner. After performing a scan, the software manage to find the problem... there are no errors now!

 

Wish you luck!

Text do not stick to camera tracker - why?

Hi all

 

I have watched about ten youtube videos on this matter and gone through it frame by frame. Everybody can do it, but somehow not me.

I want to camera track and not point track

 

This is how i did it: YouTube. Where do I go wrong?

 

Best regards

Jesper

Are you using Premiere or AfterEffects?

Text does not stick to camera tracker why?

 

because that is a feature in AE. Premiere does not have motion tracker.

You can however if you want keyframe the text, but that usually means a lot of work.

(your second link does not work)

You posted in the Premiere forum.
