Go to your project file, press CTRL+C and CTRL+V. Rename the copy in your manner.   This is the first thing I do on every working day.   *Martin ...その他を表示

It is likely, that you last project is corrupt through the power loss. Just use on the backups you've manuelly created, or use an autosave, which you have hopefully activated (if not, then you have just learned a live lession).   The list of last projects might be empty, but this doesn't mean you projects are gone. Just go to the location you did daved them and open them.   *Martin ...その他を表示

There is a scipt called "move anchor point" which let you set the layer anchor to one of the sides. You can also use the pan behind tool and press ALT, or something to stick it to the edges.   On a shape, I always fix the shape anchor to one of the side using expressions to hold it and transform the other side. I'm sure somebody already wrote a script for this - so have a look at google.   There is no way avoiding the anchor point. This is math behind this all. In other Adobe apps, this is not exposed so much to the user, but in AE it is.   *Martin ...その他を表示

I'm not sure what AE is doing here? AE is for rendering videos files - do you want to pre-render all possibilites?   *Martin ...その他を表示

This looks odd:   for (var i = 0, il = arrayPresets.length; i < il; i++)     Try:   for (i = 0; i < arrayPresets.length; i++)   *Martin ...その他を表示

The ellipse is parented to Null 6. If you have a look at it's position, you'll see it is static. You'll rather link to the Null 6 position.   *Martin ...その他を表示

Unselect the layer and the color swatches should appear in the top tool bar.   Pen tool has two options: When a layer is selected, you use it do draw a mask. When no layer is selected, you use it to draw a shape.   *Martin ...その他を表示

In AE you have source names (name in project panel) and layer names (name in timeline). You can switch between both if you click on the name column.   *Martin ...その他を表示

And you should polish the code a bit. I see a lot of missing semicolons, brackets with no sense like function(){(function() {})();} and a mixed concept how to process the collection:   You can create an empty array, cycle through all project items and push the selected ones into this array. Afterwards, you can cycle through this array and do your magic. Or you do the magic right in the first for-loop, whenever the current item is selected (what you have already is close to this approach).   Those parts leads to nothing useful: var mySelection = app.project.activeItem mySelection[mySelection.length] = app.project.item(i); } for (var i = 0; i < mySelection.length; i++){ activeItem is null, when nothing or more than one item is selected. mySelection.length is one or undefinded, depening how many items you have selected. mySelection will always just hold the last selected item, no need for a second for-loop in this case.   *Martin ...その他を表示

There is a plugin installed with AE which will let you import Cinema4D files. Also, Cinema4D Lite is installed, if you are working with one of the latest AE versions.   *Martin ...その他を表示

Rendering times are hard to estimate. I just wanted to illustrate that it might take a while. Don't be scared, just start the rendering and see, how it's going.   Many professional users are working with a render manager, to improve rendering time. You might want to have a look at RenderGarden, RenderBoss and BG Renderer. Maybe there is a time limited full demo you can take advantage of for this job.   You can also learn about aerender.exe (google it) and write your own small line command to lauch it. This is what the rendermanagers are doing: launching aerender several time in order to let AE render frames in parallel.   *Martin ...その他を表示

I'm not sure, but give this a try:   Go to File > Scripts > DemoPalette This is a demo script collection. One of the scripts let you change comp size, including all layers and animations.   *Martin ...その他を表示

Glad you don't have to verify the result - this will save you a lot of time and headache. Especially those audio visulizers take forever to render.   The best approch is to export the video as image sequence and import it into PR. Image sequence is preferable, because you don't loose any progress when AE or your Computer crashes. Don't use Dynamic Link for such a thing! PR will stuck on every frame, because it needs to render and editing will be impossible.   Prepare for a very long rendering time. I once spend two weeks for 6 minutes of audio visualisation, just as an example. Yours might export faster, or takes even longer - depends on your visuals.   What do you mean by "if it does not "prerender" before"? The export will work, even if you cannot cache everything. The cache is just for preview, while rendering, AE write the final data to disk, while cache, AE writes those data mainly into RAM. And there is the limitation. However, if you ran into the situation that a frame could not be previewed at all, you have to solve this before rendering.   *Martin ...その他を表示

Sounds like a typical beginners misunderstanding of how AE caching works.  Only the parts in your timeline with a green bar above will play in realtime and you always have to prerender before watching. If yu change something, you have to prerender again. Also, caching 1 hour material won't work - unless you have some terabytes of RAM. Depending on your work an installed memory, a cache of some seconds to a few minutes is realistic.   If you work on such a long composition, split it into smaller pieces. You can always precomp. And often it's more efficient to create footage with AE, export it and edit it in Premiere. AE works best on very short shots.   *Martin ...その他を表示

I would eleminate the Dynamic Link and playout the AE animation as image sequence or production video format (DNxHD, ProRes, Cineform) instead.   If your animation is expression heavy, dealing with a lot of video and 3D elements, you can only lower resolution, skip frames, fast draft to minimize preview rendering time. Converting expressions to keyframes can take fairly long (the last time I did it, this process was running on one core only!) and there is no logic behind to skip unnecassary keyframes. As long as you want to edit, this is really not useful.   You can try to playout "shots" and do the edit in Premiere. You can also playout layerwise and do the composite in Premiere - depending on your artwork. You can use the same method in AE working with proxies.   Also, work with precomps. Generally there is no problem to work with long comps in AE, put putting everying into one comp is senseless. I usualy have a main comp with nothing but precomps in it (Scene1, Scene2 and so on). In those Scenes, there a several precomps, depending on the artwork. In those artwork comps, there are again several precomps, or the actual layers. Having 5 or more hierachy levels isn't unusal for me.   *Martin   ...その他を表示

You create a checkbox, add a variable to asign it to and use the pickwhip to add it to your code. The result looks similar to this:    chk = thisLayer.effects("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox");   Now you can use chk for example like this:   if (chk == 1){   // 1 means checkbox is checked, 0 means checkbox is not checked) // do something} else { // do something else };   *Martin ...その他を表示

Check how much RAM is allocated to AE - keep 4GB free for other apps and OS.   *Martin ...その他を表示

The words are fading in while the whole line moves to the left. It looks so good, because one does understand timing and easing. Most likely it's just keyframed.   Is there a special reason why you would do this with expressions?   *Martin   ...その他を表示

Find the original comp in the project panel and drag it into your newly created comp.   That's all.   *Martin ...その他を表示

Create a new comp with the new dimensions and drag the old comp into it. Now you can scale the comp-layer as much as you need.   Visuals might get pixellated and depening on how things are created, you can prevent this by just activating Continous Rastersation on all comps and layers, or you can't because the visuals are rasterized already. In the latter case, I would enlarge/re-create the background only to get rid of the black bars.   *Martin     ...その他を表示

We solved this by seperation of the two eyes into single videos. Do the removal in each video and put them both together in a comp in TB layout.   Mocha Pro is capable to 360 3D footage and object removal, too.    *Martin ...その他を表示

Have a look at the random expressions on http://www.motionscript.com/ This is a create ressource for inspiration.   On your code, I would outsource the random and posterize it. This code is for a slider on a layer called "Random":     posterizeTime(1); // code will be executed once a frame - set the value to your needs     Math.round(random(0,96)); // not 120!   You can pick the slider value in another expressions:     startFrame = thisComp.layer("Random").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");   Make sure the code just kicks in after 4 sec and take care of the else-case:     if (time >= 4){...} else {value};   Convert time to a modulo time to create 24f segments:     t = time - 4; // remove 4 sec preroll     tFrames = t / thisComp.frameDuration;     tMod = Math.round(tFrames % 24);   And just drive time remap with simple math, all mapped against time:     startFrame + tMod;     And all puzzle pieces together:   Code for slider on layer "Random":   posterizeTime(1); Math.round(random(0,96));     Code for layer with animation:     startFrame = thisComp.layer("Random").effect("Slider Control")("Slider"); if (time >= 4){ t = time - 4; tFrames = t / thisComp.frameDuration; tMod = Math.round(tFrames % 24); startFrame + tMod } else { value; };       This works best if all layers start at the begining of the comp. You can add thisLayer.inPoint and do math to compensate offsets, but this usual make things very complicated.   *Martin ...その他を表示

Of course you can.   Depending on the shot and your art concept, you might have to remove the chines letters from the scene using image retouching and tracking techniques. As soon as the shot is clean enough, you can add any letter you want.   If you show us an example frame, or a short clip from the video, we can give you a more detailed help.   *Martin ...その他を表示

A cropped screenshot and a partial expression is not very helpful. However, I see missing semicolons everywhere.   Also, the line where the error appears is not always the line which is problematic.   Please provide the full code.   *Martin     ...その他を表示
