You should look into working C4D for this (looking at your screenshot) E3D, while being quite useful has some limitations  However, as pointed out by both Mylenium and Rick a proper understanding of the software is needed before you begin your 3D journey. Begin with a single object in E3D and then look at the position tools or camera tools to move things around or in 3D space Once that has been done learn to use the group funtions in E3D to create multiple grpup objects on a sibgle solid layer with E3D applied instead of having E3D on multiple soilds.   Best of luck   Mo ...

Really sorry to hear you are having these issues   NLE's can cause all sorts of issues when fed with different tyoes of footage etc   If you look at how to optimize Premiere you should be ok   Have a look at this by Colin Smith   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSj68RBgb2A&t=59s   Mo     ...

Hi there   Really sorry to hear that so many months of work may be at risk due to some unlnown issue. There could be a possible solution that hopefully will resolve your issue. Even though you donot see the color correction being applied, the sliders and value changes are still "alive" in the Lumetri panel. You should look at saving the corrections as LUTS.  If you dont now how to create LITS there are a ton of vids available to watch on this.   The trick is now what to do AFTER you have created the LUTS (and stored them safely in a location like an external)   You have several options but I will outline just 3:   1. Reinstall your OS (not the most pleasant of tasks but it will esure stability) 2. Should 1 not be an option uninstall PP using the CC Cleaner tool. Roll back to the most stable version that you were previously working with (ensure that your current save can be opened with the version you are installing) 3. Open the save .proj file and manually delete all the Lumetri correction you have made from within the Lumetri panel or the Effects panel 4. Save this .proj without the color correction as something like "My Ungraded Project) 5.Close off Premiere and Reopen with the new saved project 6. Apply any LUT and see what happens   Kindly let us know how you fare.   Hope thos works for you   Remeber that you can also move the saved LUTS to other NLE's if this is a client critical project and you stand to lose your income. Again , there are tons of video resources out there if you do not understand how to do this.   A tip for future use. ALWAYS have 2 versions of Premiere installed when Adobe releases a big update. As an example run 15.0 and 16.0 on the same machine. On Macs this is very safe and will not cause any issues.  Its a safety net for serious critical work that doesnt cost too much time to manage.  Mo ... View more

Hi there   It is extremely rare (escpecially on a MacOS) to have files "dissapear". There have been some viruses on Windows that could delete files if you ran the initial malicious .exe. But for files to simply disapear is omething I have never heard of. Were all your .proj files in the same folder as the footage or were you saving in another location? The last time I saw something similar was when a user had imported media from an external drive but was saving to the external instead of local. He had forgotten about this and when the project was completed he had erased the external and lost all the saves. He, was however lucky as he had set up hos autosave location to a local folder.   Puzzling...but probably human error?   Mo ... View more

Hi   This was a bit of a bug on the initial release of AE with multi thread rendering but has now been fixed in the new version.

Hi   How large is your Media Cache folder This is a common problem where the media cache folders are set to too small a size and the render can stop at the pint where the disk is full and no more temp data files can be written to the scratch disk I would recommend you : 1. Purge all media files  2. Set the scratch disk folders to at least 100 gigs (even that may be too small)   Let us know   Mo ... View more

Hi   This seems to be an issue with a few hidden file preferences that may have been corrupted somewhere along the line. What these are would be impossibbe to say.   Could you do a partition or install PP on another drive on the same mcahine and see what happens This is a case of slowly eliminating one area at at time and exploring all possibilities which may take a long time and cause you even more frustration.   I would try that install on the same machine but on another drive.   Mo ...

Hi    You could create a loopable effect using a particle system in AE and then use it in the app   Ensure that the composition size matches the app dimensions or you will get ridiculoulsy large files sizes depemdenat on the duration.

Hi Christine   This looks pretty interesting. I see the layout is almost goinh the EGP route. I will have a go at this.  Interested to see how much real estate is needed to house this property panel.

If you are on AE Beat switch off multi core rendering as the older versions of Particular dont use this. The newer versions do.
