After Effects

Can you get a camera position from the perspective of a still image in After Effects? I know you can track the camera motion in video clips , but it doesn't work for images or footage shot on a tripod (where there are no camera movements). I know that one could use the corner pin effect and pin whatever you like on a wall for instance according to the perspective. That is not what I'm after here. I want to get a camera position or a 3D plane from the perspective of the still image/video. Do anyone know how to achieve that? Thanks

AE is too complicated for my liking, and I rarely have to use it anyway. But I need to make use of it now, and some questions have popped up. Ques 1In general, do effects applied to clips/nests in Premiere, travel with those clips to AE when replaced with an AE Composition? Or in all cases, is it just the clips that arrives in AE? Ques 2If I have interpreted clips in Premiere as Upper Field First, will that information travel to AE? Ques 3What about "De-interlace" when applied to clips in a Premiere timeline? Does that info come through?

Hello, I've cut out a moving person from a video using the roto brush tool and added a new backgroud. In the preview, everything looks like it shoud. But as soon as I start the rendering, the cut out person disappears and only the background is displayed. Also, the rendered video only contains the background. Is there any beginner mistake that I made?Thanks & CheersPaul

I've created an illustration in Illustrator which I would like to animate in After Effects later. To create less of a 2d illustration, I've added some shadows and structures using the draw inside mode. As the structures I want to use are pixel based, I've created graphic symbols to keep the file size low. Then I created a clipping mask to be able to change the color of the structures.Everything worked perfectly fine but now when I tried to import the file as a composition in After Effects the structures don't appear at all or are being imported with less intensive colors.Does anyone know what's the problem or what I could try to solve this?Thank you for your response!

I have a 500 fps shooting and i want to edit in 25 fps, but when i drop the footage ae doesnt ask me to "change to match comp settings" and it slows the footage, how do i enable that again???

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone has an expression that returns the realtime coordinates of a null that is parented to a rotating precomp. The issue I'm having is that because the null is parented to the precomp, the position and anchor point of the null don't technically change, even though it is rotating based on the rotation of the precomp. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!Matt

Hello,At our studio, we have updates our computers from Adobe 2019 to Adobe 2022.We are dealing with major performance issue with After Effects 2022. (2022.2 & 2022.2.1)Here is a list of our complain:1. Opening After Effects : Very slow to open. about 25 to 30 secondes every time (With blank windows freezing and hanging like 10-15 seconds). 2. Closing After Effects : The software take very very long time to close. Even when there is no project load. It take time from 10sec to a whole minute to complety close after click on the closing cross. What is it doing that whole time ?3. Not responding UI : When we switch the view from an other software (Like Chrome, Firefox, Photoshop, ...) to get back on After Effects, the UI is very laggy the first 4-6 secondes. Making click, selection, timeline scrubing not smooth at all.4. Preview flickering: It happens a lot of time that when we are making timeline preview, older frame from older preview are present in the newer preview, even when

Hello everyone!I am a mapper/mapimator who makes videos about battles and wars. But whenever I add vertices to Adobe After Effects it creates them on the opposite side of the shape layer and then moves it over making a weird sideways moving animation. I made a "testing" video just to show what happens. You can see how they move sides, although you can't see the vertices you can very clearly see it moving sideways(in this case up). Thank you!

After Effects wont launch, I get an error saying CEP suite couldnt be loaded. We have re-intalled multiple times, changed permissions etc. Can anyone help please?

I've been working on a series of videos explaining how to use Unreal Engine (the free, 3D game creator).  These videos are designed for After Effects users who are not familiar with game engines. While there's a lot of tutorials out there for Unreal, they all seem to assume either you want to make a game or that you know Unreal and just want to make videos. Getting set up correctly, with all the extra steps is a trial in itself, but I try to break down everything from signing up, integrating Quixels Megascans, sculpting and painting a landscape, adding rocks and plants and finally animating a camera and rendering.   There's at least one more video in the works, but now that the rendering video is published, I thought I'd share the playlist for those who are interested:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj8YKDBGfvQ&list=PL58-kYtQUHvNKh8ihlDy0Em99r5_RhIdw

Hi, i am having trouble with rendering in ae,When I do some color correction and sharpen on my video, when it starts rendering I can see in the preview that the sharpness dissapears and also some of the color grades.Any help? 

Hello. I've pick-whipped a layer's position to a null object a few levels up in the hierarchy of nested compositions. Adjusting the null's position moves the layer as expected until I create a keyframe, then it stops working.I'm not sure if this matters, but I'm working on an animation where comps of a character's face orientations (profile, 3/4s, forward) are nested inside a comp with a duration of one frame and staggared by one frame. I've time-remapped the upper comp to control which orientation is being shown.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

i want to display seconds in my timeline window but i am getting still frames.Before i wrote here also i googled to fix this problem and followed the steps below :Ctrl-click (Windows) the current-time display. The current-time display is in the upper-left corner of the Timeline panel and at the bottom of the Layer, Composition, and Footage panels is not worked.File>Project settings>time display settings>timecode not workedthen i closed after effects and clicked shift+ctrl+alt to reset preference settings of after effects and opened a new project and new composition then i achived to showing seconds later on i bring that problem composition to the new new project but i still getting frames instead of frames in timeline.Probably i click wrong key while i worked on my project.How can i fix this issue and recover that setting?Thanks for your kind helping attempt.

Renderização demorando o triplo do normal. Alterei minhas configurações do computador para uma melhor, saindo de um R3 2200g para um R7 5700X, 32GB ram, saindo de RX 580 para uma RX 7700 XT e a renderização está pessima, demorando muito e não consumindo nada, literalmente 0% de GPU mesmo com OpenCL. Não sei o que fazer, já configurei certo, rodei a internet toda atrás de respostas e estou sem solução, preciso de ajuda urgente! Necessidade de Trabalho

I  refuse to install this product but it keeps getting installed on my computer despite me checking no. I did a fresh computer wipe and reload of CC and still this software installs. How do I keep Maxon off my computer?   

I have a 3D text in Blender and want to import it as a 3D object into Ae, how do I do that? Do I need Adobe Animate? I can render it as a movie clip but I want to animate it in Ae.

Just wondering if there's a setting I may not be aware of in After Effects that would enable me to change the default "Step/Foward back many frames which is always set to 10 in After Effects. In Premiere (see below) it's great that we have this option to change the step forward/back many frames from the default 10 to any number you want. Just curious why there's no option (I'm aware of) to do so in a compositing animation program like AE. Working in 24 and 12 fps timelines, it would be great to have the option to change the default 10 to say 12 or 8 or 6 or whatever. Hopefully Adobe will one day add this.
