Looks promising! Looking forward to trying out!

Prompt: Space filled with blue and violet planets with nebulas and magical stars I've tried to imitate the color palette from the Avegers Endgame movie.

This image represents my summer time between 6 and 14 years old. A spanish guitar, a bonfire and a tent visiting a lot of towns around the spanish coast.

I have a question regarding color space. As a VFX artist, it would be great if you can tell firefly to work in the 32bpc. Photoshop supports ACES (widely used in postproduction environments) but Firefly not generating images in deep color space. It is something that Adobe will add in the future?

Jose Panadero · ‎Nov 23, 2023

No, it is not possible. Even if you apply the effect to an adjustment layer it can't be moved. Maybe the puppet tool is a better option to create a deformation mesh exactly where you want.

Is it possible to get a copy of your project (without the footage) to check if something in the configuration is affecting Mocha? Maybe you can share with us.

Jose Panadero · ‎Oct 11, 2023

I will try to use the Mocha Pro plugin with copying tracking data. My yesterday test was with the Mocha Pro Standalone version. What I suggest you is to delete the Mocha Cache. Once into Mocha, go to File menu. You have option to delete the cache for that project and a global cache Option. Also I would like to know if this error happens in all the scenarios. Have you tried with another footage? I will come back with more info on my own tests.

We are trying to help you and provide you with some workarounds or solutions. It would be great to obtain some kindness on your side. I've checked with Mocha Pro 10.0.4 and it works as always. The only thing you MUST BE SURE is that you don't have activated the option to SEPARATE DIMENSIONS in the AE preferences (you can find it under the General category). With this option enabled you CANNOT paste transform data from Mocha Pro Standalone App

Jose Panadero · ‎Oct 10, 2023

Mocha Ae and Mocha Pro plugins have a completely new workflow since AE 2018 version. You must select the tracker in the effect control panel (no more copy/paste tracking or masking data), then select the layer you want to receive the transform data an click the Export button. You can check this out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF3XVBy6sD4&t=14s

Jose Panadero · ‎Oct 10, 2023

Youa have an option (without precomposing) using the effect Transform effectm(Distort Category) instead using the own layers' transform properties. This way you can force AE to process the scale before the gaussian blur.

Jose Panadero · ‎Sep 30, 2023

You don't need to do it one by one. Interpret one footage and then go to File > Interpret Footage > Remember Interpretation. Then select the rest of the assets and go to File > Interpret Footage > Apply Interpretation.

I use a lot of cloning and painting for VFX shots since the inclusion of the OCIO color management system but once of the things that drives me crazy is the need to start a new paint effect every time I want to "organize" strokes. Silhouette from BorisFX has an easy grouping system for their paint tools and I would love to see it inside After Effects native paint tools.

Jose Panadero · ‎Jul 01, 2023

Probably the best option is Collecting files. Go to File > Dependencies > Collect Files. This can create a new project and copies of your files in a completely new location.

Jose Panadero · ‎Jun 27, 2023

It depends on the size of the composition. What composition size are you using?

Jose Panadero · ‎Jun 08, 2023

You have a lot of options to stabilize footage. Follow one of this steps: - Window > Tracker. You can use the Stabilize Motion option. - Animation > Warp Stabilizer VFX - Animation > Track in BorisFX Mocha. Mocha requires some aditional stpes as you must track the footage and then apply the inverted translation analysis to stabilize your footage.

Jose Panadero · ‎Jun 04, 2023

You can use the Compound Blur effect. It works in a similar way but if you are looking for a realistic lens blur then this is not an option.

Jose Panadero · ‎May 28, 2023

Check that your PSD is in RGB color space not CMYK. After Effects does not import PSD layered files in CMYK.

Jose Panadero · ‎May 27, 2023

Try this, but you need to install Adobe Bridge: - Select your layer and go to Animation > Browse Animation Presets. - Locate the folder wher you have sotred your FFX preset and double-click on it. This should apply the animation preset for your layer. Also, as a suggestion you can try to delete the After Effects preferences. If you are using the latest version you can do it form the Preferences itself. If not, hold the CONTROL+ALT+SHIFT keys as soon as you open After Effects. You will be prompted to delete the preferences file.

Jose Panadero · ‎May 27, 2023

Have you tried to apply any other effect (not an animation preset)?

Jose Panadero · ‎May 07, 2023

Probably you have open the Layer Panel not the COmposition panel. This is a common mistake on the newbies side. When double clicking on a trimmed layer, AE opens de Layer Panel where you can view all the original footage (similar to the Source Monitor in Premiere Pro).

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 14, 2023

Smooth is not the best option, lights in real world uses the Inverse square algorithm (more intensity near the light). You can use the Radius parameter to set the falloff distance. On the other hand, you can control in any 3D layer if the later itself receives ligths under the Material Options category.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 14, 2023

You have a warning in the first screen capture saying that you have not enabled full resolution playback for your layer, so the rotobrush could be less accurate. The first thing to do is to change the resolution for your layer to FULL (CTRL+J). Also, you have a control in the effects control panel to change the Rotobrush to version 2.0 that is way better that the legacy one. On the other hand it is a good practice to Freeze the rotobrush once completed before exporting.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 14, 2023

You have the Falloff option, disabled by default. Double click on a Light layer to access it.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 06, 2023

Try to deactivate the hardware acceleration for decoding video in AE Preferences. You can find it in Preferences > Import. After that, you must purge the cache and restart After Effects. If that doesn't work I would try to deactivate multiframe rendering in Preferences > Memory and performance.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 05, 2023

Are you using any adjustment layer with effects on the Precomped version? Some effects in AE don't render in a 16 or 32bpc flavour. Maybe this is causing the problem.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 05, 2023

Probably this is a problem within Premiere interpreting the alpha channel. For compositing is it a good option to select Straight Alpha when exporting from After Effects so it would be great if you can share details on how you export the quicktime file.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 05, 2023

In order to let mocha "reads" effects or retime effects applied to a layer you must precompose first. Mocha only works with the source footage.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 05, 2023

You can do it right now but only for positive values. As soon as you type +X where X is the number of frames or SMPTE code, the CTI moves forward exactly that number of frames. I think it would be a great idea to have the option aslo for negative values.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 02, 2023

Try a couple of things. In Cinema 4D you have a Cineware tab on project settings. Be sure to activate Save Polygons and Save Animation. Also, you can create a shadow catcher material and apply it to your floor. This way you should have your shadow pass correctly. On the other hand, in your first post, the C4d file has no Object buffer or shadow pass visible. Not sure but maybe this is a limitation of the Lite version.

Jose Panadero · ‎Apr 01, 2023

I've tried to reproduce your issue but it always have the correct color space when opening the project. I'm using the latest version 23.3.0. I can suggest you to: - Update AE to this version - Try to delete the preferences file. As soon as you launch AE press and hold CTRL+ALT+SHIFT (Windows) or COMMAND+OPTION+SHIFT (Macos). You will be prompted to delete the preferences file. Press OK and continue.
