Hi! Welcome. You'll want to right click your adio layer go to Keyframe Assistant > Convert Audio to Keyframes. That will create a new layer called something like Audio Amplitude. After that you will want to define the range of amplitudes. Here's a pretty good tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6xZUlhlZxs ... View more

So GRDs are the same drivers we were all using before NVIDIA came up with Studio drivers. They should work. That said, the 965 is an older card. Using it with a newer driver could create stability issues. Give it a shot, it should work. But also, you don't need a new computer just to replace the house. That's easily swapable.  ... View more

If I understand correctly you'd use expressions. So you'd have to figure out the math but an example expression would be something like: transform.yRotation/2 That will make the rotation of that axis = to the Y rotation divided by 2.  ... View more

From a technical aspect, the Minimax effect looks at each pixel and forces it to become either the minimum- or maxi- mum value of the pixels in a specifi ed radius. In layman's terms, the Minimax effect is typically used to expand or contract the edges of a layer. This can be helpful in polishing up keyed footage, removing strokes, cleaning up noisy edges, and other such purposes. Some people also use Minimax for producing creative effects, in the same way that you might use an effect in the Stylize category. It can be used to enhance the size of reflections or for generating spectacular highlights using the Maximum operation. Alternatively, it can be used to create a painted effect. ... View more

Hi! For what you describe you can use AE or Premiere. Either work. The answer isn't really straight forward. So the issue isn't file size or video length. Running AE on an i5 isn't ideal. 8gb RAM is under minimum spec. And 2gb gpu ram is minimum spec. So your machine is underpowered. That said, trying to use h264 in After Effects is not a good idea. I would try converting it to a better working codec like ProRes. Due to the heavy compression (and other things) h264 playback in AE isnt great. Even on an underpowereed machine you can get it done. It will just be annoying and difficult.  ... View more

Hey man! Really hard to say since you don't have any keyframes or layer names. But I'll try to walk you through this.  This is if you are wanting to show before/after/before: You put down the un-retouched later. Call that BG.  Now bring in your retouched layer. Call that FG.  Put FG above BG on the timeline.  Now create or bring in the layer you want to use as a Track Matte. Call that Layer TM.  Key frame it moving as you wish.  Now put TM above FC on the timeline. Set the TrkMat on FG to Alpha. This should hide the TM layer.  https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/alpha-channels-masks-mattes.html#track_mattes_and_traveling_mattes Done.  ... View more

There's a few ways. Depending on what surface you are putting the text on, the most straight forward may be 1. Track the surface in Mocha AE (look under Animate > Track in Mocha AE) 2. Apply the track data to a Null 3. Change the blending mode 4. Use Mesh warp or liquify or puppet tool or similar to warp the graphic to fit the face.  Check out this tutorial for help. https://vimeo.com/136861723 ... View more

Hi! I'd probably use Trapcode Particular which is a 3rd party plugin. If you wanted to do it within stock After Effects youu could try using CC Foam or Particle Playground.

I can help take care of 2 & 3. 1 I just hire a transcription service.  Step 1. Copy and paste the transcription in to a text file. Use "$" as a delimiter for where you want the line of text to change. So use those to break up the text. To break it up more smoothly it may help to break it up while listening to the voice over as this will help account for pauses in audio. If there is a significant pause in the voice over then insert a break in the titling with "$ $"There should be no line breaks. Save the file to an easy to find location.   Step 2. In After Effects, there should be one layer on the timeline. This text layer will be the subtitles. Import the finished video, drag it to your timeline.   Step 3. Go to your Composition Settings and change the time, resolution, and anything else that may need to fit your video settings.    Step 4. On the text layer, twirl down the settings, then twirl down then "Text" settings, then twirl down the "Source Text"   Step 5. There should be an Expression for Source Test. It will look something similar to: "type= $.evalFile ("file://c:\\\\Transport_EN. txt");   m = thisLayer.marker.nearestKey( time);   sentences = type.split("$");   n = m.index; if (time < thisLayer.marker.nearestKey( time).time) {n = n-1}; if (n<1){n=1};   subtitle = sentences[n]; subtitle" Change the first line at (file://c:\\\\Transport_EN. txt"); to point to your TXT file. NOTE: As you probably noticed the example I have here is a Windows path. The subtitles should work now.    Step 6.  You will move the markers I've placed on the text layer to where you want the subtitle to change to the next message. You may get an error message if there are too few or too many markers on the text layer. Right click to delete any that are extra. Press * on the number pad to add any.    Step 7. If the text box is too large or small double click it to resize. Too much text on screen would be addressed by changing the TXT file though.   Step 8. Export. ... View more

It's a little hard to say without knowing exactly what you want to do. But essentially you'll need to 1. Set up twitch to do what you want in the "Enable," "Behaviour," and "Operator Controls" tabs.  2. Select your audio layer 3. Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Convert Audio to Keyframes 4. Back on your Twitch layer drop the amount to 0, set a keyframe then create an expression 5. Pick whip the Amount to the keyframes in Left (or Right) Channel - whichever gives you the desired look.  ... View more

Hi! Your tutorial search has largely lead you in the correct direction. After Effects paint tool (and a few different scripts) can be great for simple hand drawn animation. The Paramore video, at least as much as I watched, could be done in AE with those tools. But Adobe Animate is really going to be the tool you are looking for. It's much more suited to this look.  ...
