Hello, I am trying to track down an audio glitch. It can be heard here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y689WAnWl8OEmBd2coi3YGZbYPbOaRKI I am trying to figure out if it is a glitch in the recording, or something that can be fixed in Audition. My gut is saying this is an audio glitch in the recording that isn't fixable–can anyone with more experience than me chime in? Thanks in advance! (if its relevant: ) ... View more

Hello! Long (ish) time After Effects user, but learning more every day! I have had lots of help from this forum over the years, and recognize some of the consistent members around here. Its a strong and helpful community! Anyway, I have recently come across an issue that I can't figure out. I wont bother with an intimate explanation of how I built this, but its relatively strait forward. Using a pre comp with 5 animated shape layers to drive a displacement map (disp map effect placed on an adjustment layer) which distorts/deconstructs a pair of images. Pre comp driving displacement map: (these shapes are just animating scale larger and smaller) Pre-comp with image: (only needed to pre comp so I could have the 2 color bars on the side) Main composition: (this looks and works exactly how I want it to, EXCEPT for the hair/glitch/artifacts that are present Artifacts circled in red here: Things I have tried: -Render in .mov with a Alpha channel -Render in mp4 from AME -restart computer and AE -many blending modes -different images Its important to note that the different images do not have an effect on the artifacts – which tells me the issue is somewhere in the displacement map? It could be that I am not fully educated on how to us this effect, or am using it improperly. If relevant: Sorry for the long-winded post, but I wanted to give as much info as possible to save time on everyones end. I really appreciate everyone's time in making this community helpful and useful! ... View more
