Hi guys. Can i import 16bit grayscale images from PS into AE? I´m trying to get some simple gradient animations/transfers done and would love to try it all out in 16bit to see if i can limit the banding somhow... I did a quick attempt importing a single image into AE and got the error...

Hi guys. I was wondering if there´s a technique to cheat slow motion from 25fps in AE? I have seen someone do this before with fairly convincing results. Obviously, frames needs to be duplicated or on "hold" and there´s a relative aspect here depending how much it needs to be slowed down so...

Hi all: I'm new to After Effects 6.0 and I have 2 questions: 1. I was working on a comp when I accidently closed the window. Now for the life of me I can't seem to get the window back up. Without having to start a new project ... 2. After I set the transitions, effects, etc to a clip -...

Besides the build-in displacementilter (Effects > Distort > Displacement Map), is there any third party plug-in filter? I have a BG and i have a black and white picture. I am using this black and white pic as a displacement map for the background. The filter gives me the opportunity to offset...

ARGH! is anyone able to get the "Clone" brush to work in Afterfx 6.5? I follow the directions EXACTLY like the help html pages say to. But I can't seem to select a region to clone, nor paint on it, b/c every time I do it just drags the layer. I'm a stickler for following directions, so it's...

Hi Friends, While rendering a it gives option about upper fields , n log seetings can u just explain me about that.. Plus i am a bit confused about 2k n 3K output funda while rendering? Thnx

I don't know about anyone else... but this is a great little plug in when you need to get some nice 3D done very fast in a motion graphics world. We use it alot in broadcast. Here is the latest release that was email to me. The 3D Invigorator PRO, industry standard, powerhouse plug-in for...

Ok, I'm not quite sure how to explain this, but I remember seeing a demo several years ago that involved using After Effects to do motion tracking in a 3d program. Once the motion tracking had been completed in AE, it involved copying the keyframe information, washing it through Microsoft Xcel,...

Anyone know of any sites for keying out greenscreens? Just looking to see if there is anything that I could do to key out a little better. Thanks RPFX

I am currently working on a composition that involves a still shot of me sitting in front of a greenscreen. The green has been keyed out, and the final shot looks great. I've rendered out some clouds using Afterburn and have myself sitting among them, but there is no sense of depth to the image....

I have an issue maybe someone can help me with. About 2 months ago I bought a Plextor DVD burner and began backing up every project Ive ever done to data DVDs, particularly the targa sequences. All of my footage is now on these DVDs and today when I tried to import a sequence into After Effects 5.5...

Hey all! Got a shot that I want/need to add a BG layer to, so I thought I would just go through the motions, and export the camera data from Maya 5 (unlimited btw) along with a few nulls, and just add the 2d BG plate(s) to the null(s) and all will be hunky-dory. No go:( AE tells me that...

Hey, I remember this little free plugin that enabled you to search through your afterfx projects, I could use it in this project of a thousand comps ;) Does anyone remember the name or creator?

How would I go about copying my effects from one object to another object? This would speed things up in the future. Thanks for any help.

I've been working on a comp lately that is similar to the Minortiy Report effect of Tom Cruise using the projected display we see early in the movie. This is more like star wars, however. A device the size of a palm pilot is projecting into space this small blue screen, and I wanted to put a...

I've been working on this movie, and everything i render out in AE comes out in slow motion. I've looked around and checked framerates but nothing seems to fix this problem. I found a "preserve framerate" checkbox, but this didn't work either. Other thing that stinks about this is i lose the audio!...
