When using a text prompt in Generative Fill, make ...

Szalam · ‎May 23, 2023

When using the new Generative Fill option in Photoshop Beta, it would be very handy if the layer name of the newly generated layer would be the text prompt (if a prompt is used). It can stay, "Generative Layer x" if there's no prompt associated with it. If the concern is that the layer name might be too long, perhaps just use the main noun? For example, I just generated "a wrought iron birdbath" - having the layer name be "Birdbath" would be wonderful!

I'm glad to hear that! I was just coming here to add that as a Feature Request. I've generated some neat things I'd like to come back to later.

Glyphs, at the very least, please. I dislike having to fire up Illustrator just to get some glyphs to copy and paste into AE.

I think this is an excellent idea, but lovely to have the clever workaround in the meantime.

That seemingly small masking update would have saved me so much time and hassle over the years. THANK YOU for putting that in.

What are they displaying as? If it's green, try updating to the latest NVIDIA driver (assuming you have an NVIDIA GPU).

Szalam · ‎Dec 14, 2022

What bugs are you experiencing there? Have you connected with Adobe support on them?

Szalam · ‎Oct 19, 2022

In yesterday's release of the After Effects public beta, OCIO support is now here! Give it a try and give Adobe your feedback.

For what it's worth, there is a GPU-accelereated, real-time 3d renderer in AE - and it's been there for a few versions! If you drop into draft 3d mode now, you're using it! That engine has been extended to the latest version of the public beta which released yesterday and now allows you to import 3d objects into AE natively.

As of yesterday's update, the new version of AE gives you the option to install C4D Lite on install.

@jackthegiantkiller The After Effects team was 100% looking at the UserVoice request pages. I know because I've talked with them about it many times. EVERY post on there was read by a team member. There just wasn't a lot of feedback from them on there. Hopefully moving it to these forums will help facilitate better feedback.

As of yesterday's release of the public beta, you can now import 3d models into After Effects. See the frequently asked questions here.

I agree with Mylenium, knowing more about what your assets are would help a lot. I'm a big fan of using things like Bezier Warp, Liquify, or Mesh Warp to move things around, but I also love Trapcode Particular and there are SO MANY ways to do what you're asking.

Until the day this gets added to AE, there's a third-party solution: https://aescripts.com/varifont/

I would LOVE to be able to control this with type animators!

Szalam · ‎Sep 28, 2022

I am someone who uses the time stretch option with some frequency and I'd be perfectly fine if that moved to control/command instead of alt/opt. Sure, it'll be annoying for a bit, but I'll get used to it. And, heck, roving keyframes (ctrl+clicking) kinda feel like time stretching in a way, so it fits pretty well. Copying keyframes while holding alt is something I can totally get behind - especially if it works on multiple layers simultaneously.

I wish we could react to comments because I literally laughed out loud at @MrBeep's remark. Just a beautiful joke. If we ever meet at NAB, SIGGRAPH, MAX, or Camp Mograph, I'll get you a beer or something.

I would really like to be able to have "ubertwirl" as this sort of feature is often described. Would you want to be able to apply effects to these groups like you can to a precomp? Anyway, while we wait to see if we get a feature like this, I would recommend that you color-code your layers as if they were in groups. Then, you can right-click on the layer's label color and select all the layers that have that label and click the shy switch. It's a great way to do what you're asking for. (I use the third-party Labels script to make assigning labels really quick (and with custom colors), but you don't have to.)

If you're missing Red Giant's Light Wrap tool, it's been updated and built into Supercomp (along with a lot of other useful compositing tools). It can wrap light from one layer onto all the layers at once without precomposing! That said, I think having an easy effect to wrap light from one layer onto another would still be quite useful. So, please, ping Maxon folks (as I have) to bring it (or an equivalent) back! And, obviously, we can hope for a native solution by voting on this (which I have also done).

Szalam · ‎Sep 28, 2022

That's a solution for if you want everything to be the same, but what if you just want to tweak (not link) one property across several layers with everything else remaining separate?

Szalam · ‎Aug 28, 2022

This is extremely handy. So many QoL improvements lately!

Szalam · ‎Aug 25, 2022

And the extra-fun thing is that, if I go back to the Edit tab, many menu options (like Save and Save As) are greyed out and unclickable

Steps to reproduce: 1. Choose to export a video Result: ... Expected: well, I'd prefer the old export window, but I'd take the new one with...ANYTHING visible. System info Application: Premiere Pro (Beta) v23.0.0.33 OS: Windows v10.0.19043, RAM: 72.00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 24

As long as it sorts up, I'm gonna be happy! I think that's more readable than the leading 0.

Szalam · ‎Aug 22, 2022

I'm loving the convenience of this feature. I think the preset output modules are good too. ...EXCEPT... This should be named 05 Mbps so it sorts correctly. Thank you!

Szalam · ‎Aug 05, 2022

This is going to make a lot of people very happy.

Szalam · ‎Aug 02, 2022

I'm so excited for this.

Sounds like something got messed up with the permissions on that user account. If uninstalling and reinstalling AE doesn't work, try installing a different version of AE. If that still doesn't work, you may need to just migrate everything over to that new user account.

Szalam · ‎Jun 23, 2022

If you select a layer and press e e - that is, press the e key twice, it will show you all of the properties with expressions. It sounds like you are starting an expression on a property that doesn't have one already. If there's no expression, you'll need to add it from scratch. Thta is, delete what's there and replace it with something like wiggle(2,9) If there's already an expression on there, alt-clicking the stopwatch is not what you want to do. Just twirl it open to reveal it.

Mask modes give you control I'm referring to mask modes which let you pick how the mask works.
