For some reason the time ruler is displaying frames and not seconds. I have tried cycling through the various time modes by ctrl clicking it as well as modifyign it in file->project settings, yet seconds will not show up on the time ruler. Please view the image below. I have also tried resetting the work space to standard default with no result.
when I want to add time to the time display, to re-position the timeline cursor, i use +15 for example. But when i want to subtract time, -15 wouldn't work. How does subtracting frames in the time display work ?
I'm following some tutorials on digital tutors and I see that an easy way to preview the frames is just by simply moving the time indicator, and the frames will play in real time by just moving the current-time indicator back and forth.
However, it doesn't work for me for some reason, when I move my current time idncator, the only thing see is the frame what it was on, and won't update until I let go of time time indicator.
I have PSE11 and purchased Paint the Moon effects. How can I view both the Layers panel and the Effects panel at the same time? Was this an option in older versions of PSE that are used in the Paint the Moon tutorials?
I'm trying to compress my overall animation and I want to reduce the number of overall frames. How do I do this without losing all my Key Frames? Do I use the Re-Scale Time button? It seems to still delete my key frames.
All the videos on CS 6 video editing show how to trim the ends off a video but they don't show how to cut a sequence of frames from within the video. I might also like to copy a series of frames from one video and insert them at a point in the middle of another video.
I am trying out my new cam which can do video in 24p (23.something), and I can edit the clips, all ok. There are just two things I cannot do: Make a still (it's really the 24p material, I used a clip in 60i and stills worked), and changing the time/frame counter to 24 frames. No matter what I do, it will always stay there.
"After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback."And I have searched this entire forum about a solution but nothing worked.I have been in Preferences-> Memory & Multiprocessing and adjustet the settings.
I have tried PURGE all memory. Uninstalled After Effects CS6. Installed again with update 11.0.3.6 .....and still the problem occurs? I have fought with this error since I installed After Effects CS6. As you can see my computer have enough RAM and CPU power.
I'm trying to fade some text from 100% opacity to 0% over 45 frames, and end my layer when it gets to 0, (Thus making it dissapear?). My text stays there with 0% opacity (Slightly visable), untill the next layer begins.. I don't understand why I can see it when the layer it's on has ended. I preview it with audio using num 0.
This has happened to me multiple times and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Some of my text fades and dissapears normally, but I don't understand what's different about it. I'm probably doing lots wrong, but I'm pretty new and you have to start somewhere! This is also my first post, hope it's in the right forum.
This issue started out of nowhere for what I consider to be no reason. Working on average sized 720p compositions with modest animations.
I am running fresh comps in AE CC with absolutely no plugins, freshly purged memory, cleaned cache, restarted comp, no other applications running on computer and 13 gb of memory allocated to AE... etc.
How can I reassign the keyboard shortcut for playback on the animation timeline? Right now it is the spacebar. If I hold the spacebar, it switches to the move tool. If I tap it, it plays back my animation. Too often I accidentally tap for playback when I just want to use the move tool. I'd much rather have the two be separate keys altogether.
I'm working with a JPEG image sequence, and have deleted frames frames at various points before bringing them into AE. Instead of skipping the missing frames, AE renders missing media frames in place of the ones I deleted, instead of just skipping them. Is there a way around this without having to manually rename all of the images so there are no missing numbers?
I took some film of some wrestling matches. I want to share it with the coaches so they can use it for training. I would like to have a 'time counter' in the corner some where for easy reference so they can fast forward or reverse as desired. Is there a way to do that?
when I preview my video, the current timeline indicator skips to the next 10 frames and I would like to know if there is a way to decrease the amount of fames being skipped to.
I use the shift+/ shortcut heavily to reset my view centrally and fit it into the screen. Recently though I've noticed it intermittently stops working. I'm running After Effects 12.2.1.5 on Mac OSX mavericks on a MBP Retina 2013.
My coworkers are positive that they have been able to INSERT multiple blocks at one time but now when using the INSERT command, they can only select a single block for insertion. I tried recreating the issue and it does the same thing for me both using DESIGN CENTER and the INSERT command. Is there a setting somewhere that controls the number of blocks you can INSERT at one time or are they just delirious?
If it isn't possible to do in AutoCAD, then is there possibly a LISP routine out there that will achieve this?
I know that the shortcut keys to insert an in-point and out-point are Alt+[ and Alt+] - but is there actually a button to add these points in Adobe After Effects CS6? I'm terrible at remembering shortcut keys and can't believe that it doesn't appear at least somewhere on the toolbar?
I was inserting blocks. I was trying to insert more than one block at the same time. If I have to insert each block every single time, that's just so slow. There must be another way to make it easier to bring up more than one block at the same time.
I am using both Mac version and windows version of AutoCAD. In the mac version, when tried to open up block editor, for some reason, it says the BLOCKEDITOR = 0 (read only). I couldn't even get into block editor to make changes for my block.
I have two compositions, second is a copy of the first. On the second's layers i use other footages with other start points, while the keyframes of the layers should stay there (related to the layer). I have replaced the the second's footages by alt-drag&drop. But i can not set other start points. So how can i shift the footage behind the layer?
