No playback in CH does complicate things Maybe some placeholder objects in CH for timing might do the trick then just remove them later. All the timing will be from the audio so at least that will be constant in both places. And like i said i have yet to test dynamic link on this machine its a brand new Macbook Pro so crossing fingers..... lol

Taking this into consideration while thinking out my workflow for my next video- My puppet needs to interact with elements and infographics that are animated in AE, and Id really like to do my final edits and compositing in AE. I figure once timing is locked, export a video without the puppet and use it in the CH background for timing, then remove it and render video of the puppet to bring back into AE, hoping that the timing etc holds up through all the back and forth. I havnt yet tested a live puppet in AE in my machine so im also staying open to that method, if it will work.

I notice 2 things- the one that jumps out at me the most is that the their is no bounce. the characters upper body should bounce up and down a little with each step. The feet- they stay level during the full cycle. they should be flat on the down-step, until even with the body, then angled downward (with bent toe) on the back-step. A little more knee bend on the lift will point the toe down, then slightly up just before the next down-step. These little touches can be slight or exagerated, but will add that natural look you are after ALAN BECKER - Animating Walk Cycles - YouTube

Sounds like it makes sence- heres a grab of my project structure- "whiteboard BG" is where all the elements are collected and where the bulk of the animation happens - this is where i need the multiply over the background. "Camera Comp" is my final renderin' comp, the layer will move around and follow the action. This is where i need the motion blur ( if just a little ) Do i understand correctly, that if i turn the MB on in all the layers of all the pre-comps, it should become available in the final? ( thanks for the help, btw, I try n think ahead for these things lol )

I also took notice of the tracks in the snow, (nice touch) and the snow does not appear to be moving at all so Im guessing they are just masked in as well

Ive kind of painted myself into a corner- In my project i have graphic elements made in illustrator, and I am using continually rasterize throughout the pre-comps, because i need them to maintain their integrity at different scale levels throughout the animation. My plan was to use multiply to composite over the final background, but with CR enabled, the blend modes are disabled. Motion blur is also not an option, so I stuck on what i can do here...

My quickest guess is the car image being used as a displacement on the background. I would also assume a CG model of the car, especially in the shots where the effect is "failing" as the car is shot at..

All these media conversion suggestions are good- also see if there are any of your elements that could be pre-rendered and brought back in, it seems you have a lot of layers going on. Lastly, render your final output to an image sequence, at least temporarily while troubleshooting.

First it sounds like you'll need to edit your dialouge for timing and to remove the extras. If you could get each performance on seperate tracks that will make your life a little easier. when its time to record your lipsync and performances, just disable recording for the extra characters, and record each performance one at a time. If all your dialogue is on one track, you can remove the unwanted sections of lipsync for each character as you go. hope this helps

This was like step one when rigging my puppet but now im missing something- How do I keep the head from scaling when moving in and out of the camera? or at least tone it down or have the body react accordingly?

If you do not need the text to be live in AE, the easiest solution would be to use Illustrator to turn the text into objects.

I have the same dual screen issues, except for Im on a laptop, so i use my second monitor as my main monitor ( its 4 times bigger). This might be a MACOS issue rather than an app issue? I agree with the thought that Adobe might be "jumping the shark" with all the new features they are trying add into their applications. I have a (much) older computer and Im using PS6, Illy9, etc and I have little to no technical problems, while still having the same creative power of all the new CC apps.

I have this problem in 2018 but rarely. I do not get any panels or pallets, just the home screen. Quit/ reopen Illustrator fixes it.

Hi all I am using artistic ink brushes to stylize my linework. As you know they stretch themselves along the entire stroke, and since my illustrations have a lot of squares (buildings) they look a little wonky. So far Ive been cutting and pasting sections of paths to randomize it a little bit and make them look a little more natural. Anyone know a better way to do this, or have any tips / tricks for me? Thanks

It seems to me you could create all your vector animations as need be, precomping, etc. as needed, and then nest it as one layer in a final comp where you apply the stroke.

This looks like another case of CH auto tagging the face as a blink.... I would definately look through your tags first, and if its not there, maybe the hiearchy of your layers. I also use Illustrator as apposed to photoshop, so its a little different

I had this happen too- Check your tags. If ithe squash and stretch are happening with your eyebrows, theres an eye brow tag in there somewhere. CH tries to auto-tag things and sometimes doesnt get it quite right.

So I've got some photos as 3d layers that are parented to a (Y) rotating null ( and offset in a circle around it). Is there a way to keep them facing camera front as they orbit? Thanks in advance

Pre-compose your 3D letter animation (without opacity change) then chop it up and fade each letter in a new comp There may be another way, lol I am Captain Workaround when it comes to this type thing ...

Could be your blacks -i dont know how your document is set up, but if there is an actual black box there, could be its not the same as the black box behind it. Check the values

I know this well as a painter and digital artist- Just recently I was working on cloning out white label, so full-screen white, I started to see yellow blobs that werent really there... A long time ago I was painting live on a highly reflective, bright orange surface ( road sign ) completely screwed my color perception for the night!

Im on board- And you could allocate dots for other things too, non human puppet features, or even track limbs with your hands...
