Re: Not able to apply a LUT to the clip

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 24, 2019

Strange, which version of Premiere? Would you mind sharing the LUT so I can see if I can replicate?

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 24, 2019

Also, you could try to re-export the LUT in Resolve as a .cube in case it is a formatting issue.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 24, 2019

Well if it's yellow that's good, that means you shouldn't need to render anything to playback in real-time. To import an old project into a new one, create a new project, and then go to File > Import and select the old project file, and select the sequence you're editing to import into the new project. Also, what effects are you using and what is your sequence resolution?

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 24, 2019

Hmm.... That's weird. I haven't had issues with .cube LUTs before... Maybe test it on a completely different clip with a new instance of Lumetri (and maybe a new project) to see if it's an issue with that clip/sequence/project. Also, make sure you don't have the Disable All Effects button enabled. Sometimes that's hidden from the Program window so I don't notice and then I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why effects aren't working.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 24, 2019

Strange, I'm seeing the same issue... Are you using a CEP Panel by chance? If so you can achieve this with: var execSync = require('child_process').execSync; execSync("powershell.exe /command \"& { gci }\"", {encoding:'UTF-8'});

Audio tracks rarely slow down a project unless you're applying slow effects to it. Is your timeline showing up yellow or red? Could be a corrupted project, though rare. If so, you could try creating a new project and import your old project to it. Also, you can make a copy of the sequence, and then delete effects / clips one by one till it plays back the way it was and that way you can identify what is slowing it down. Also, if you ever want to test an export that would take hours, just export a short snippet of it to make sure everything is working correctly.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 24, 2019

Are you using .cube or what format? If it doesn't work on the input LUT slot, you can always try the Creative LUT slot in Lumetri.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 24, 2019

Which version of AE are you using? Is it crashing right as you start up? If so, try removing/renaming the workspaces folders C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\[version]\ModifiedWorkspaces C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\[version]\OriginalUserWorkspaces

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 22, 2019

Are you talking about just saving the keyframes or an ffx preset? If Keyframes, yes you could copy and store in a .txt or .json file and then write a function to re-apply them to your selected layer. If you're talking about a custom ffx preset, then you'd need to export the ffx and re-apply that to a layer in the future.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 22, 2019

Okay, can you offline the footage, reset the timecode interpretation (in case it's been changed manually) on the clips in Premiere, then try re-linking?

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 22, 2019

Are you sure they're linked to the right files? I've had projects where I have several footage files with the same name, but from different days, etc..

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 22, 2019

I had this happen once when an editor modified the clip timecodes manually after importing. I believe the solution was offline all the footage, and select all > "Relink Footage", in the relink window checking (or unchecking) the "Align Timecode" option. Let me know if that fixes it for you.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 22, 2019

Yes, sometimes CEP panels height gets funky. I made a hacky workaround that resizes the panel body to 99.9% and back to 100% to force it to realize it's proper height. You could possibly use CSInterface functions to get and set the real height, but yea I don't recall finding a solid solution, just workarounds.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 22, 2019

Since all ExtendScript actions happen on the main thread, everything is put on hold until your ES command is completed, including Panels, unfortunately. You can either delay your actions in ExtendScript space to allow short gaps for updates back to your panel, or you can divide up your commands in CEP space and send one after another, updating your progress bar in between. For the ExendScript approach, use app.scheduleTask(). For the CEP approach, you can use setTimeout(). Add a 1 ms or 0 ms delay if you can get away with it.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 22, 2019

If I'm understanding correctly, you have a timeline, and only the clips with warp stabilize are exporting at the wrong scale? So if you disable warp stabilize, does it then fix it? Could be corrupted effect data. You could try to re-stabilize, or try nesting the clip. If you're in a time crunch, export full res and then make low res versions of that to upload and what not.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 19, 2019

If the 30s is the same content as the 60s just trimmed down, then do all your work in the 60s, and then drag that comp into a new comp that's 30 sec and your changes will update in both. If they're different then yea you'll want 2 different comps.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 19, 2019

Either re-track, or if it's consistently at that angle, you can apply the track to a null, and then parent the license plate to that null and rotate as needed.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 19, 2019

I've been using an eGPU for 3 days with Premiere, no issues so far...

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 19, 2019

Oh gotcha, yea that's motion blur. That's captured in-game so it's very realistic since the render engine is doing the work and knows the correct motion vectors etc. Definitely check out Kevin's article if you're trying to do 2D motion blur in Premiere only. If you have footage or a render with blur in all directions like this, I'd recommend using After Effects and checking out the built-in Pixel Motion Blur. Or if you're interested in a paid solution, RSMB is a great and fast motion blur plugin for Premiere and After Effects.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 19, 2019

Not seeing any obvious motion blur, are you talking about the RGB split / glitch effect?

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 19, 2019

I've had buttons in the Effect Panel disappear sometimes. Try resizing, or closing and reopening the panel, also try toggling the expand arrow.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 19, 2019

Once you create they keyframe, you then set the value. See the rotation example below: var keyIndex = app.project.activeItem.layers[1].transform.rotation.addKey(0); app.project.activeItem.layers[1].transform.rotation.setValueAtKey(keyIndex, 180); More details on this here: http://docs.aenhancers.com/properties/property/?highlight=addkey#property-setvalueatkey And to generate random numbers in scripting, you can with Math.random(). More details on that here: JavaScript Random

Use app.quit() once you’re done with that instance. There’s no way to make it fully stable, some stuff can just go wrong. My workaround was to kill The process by PID from the command line if it didn’t respond after a certain amount of time. And then spin up another instance and redo that operation. Also, make sure you’re not running too many instances, as it can max out your RAM and CPU and cause more issues. I think I set the limit at three instances at one time, but my tool is still very much in development, and I haven’t looked at it for a while... hope that helps.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 18, 2019

You can access the command line from PPRO through Node.js child process exec and execSync. You'll need a CEP panel with Node.js enabled, and then you can run commands like this: // async method var exec = require('child_process').exec; exec('run myCommand', {encoding: "UTF-8"}, function (err, stdout, stderr) { console.log(stdout); console.log(stderr); console.log(err); }); // or // sync method var execSync = require('child_process').execSync; var res = execSync('run myCommand', {encoding: 'UTF-8'});

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 18, 2019

What have you tried converting to first? It sure sounds like it's corrupted if all the other files from your phone work fine, but this one is just being troublesome. Can you import it into After Effects or Media Encoder to transcode there first?

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 17, 2019

Glad you found a workaround. Definitely, do some testing cause you might be handling all script errors that way including ones from other people's scripts etc.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 17, 2019

Well, your best bet then is to make a new post since this topic has deviated from the title and see if anyone else has ideas. Good luck

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 17, 2019

CEP Extension Panels have some events for this, I haven't tested them myself. There aren't any event equivalents in ExtendScript, I mean you can check if a project file is opened or not with var isOpened = app.project.file == null; but checking that during a load could also throw an error. Maybe have your script disable the loop once the project file is null, and then have the user manually re-enable it once they open a project. Or try some try/catch statements...

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 17, 2019

So you're saying, you start AE, open your script, open a big project, your script fails silently, and when you re-launch it then you get the "Can not run a script while a modal dialog is waiting for response" error? If so, that's very strange. I've never got that error unless it was trying to do something during a dialog that just happened. If you can delay any looping/scheduled operations till after the project is loaded I would do that, AE won't let you run scripts while you're opening a project.

Justin Taylor-Hyper Brew · ‎Apr 17, 2019

Glad to hear that! What was the fix?
