After Effects :: Motion Blur Effect Doesn't Stop After The Comp Stops Moving?

Jun 30, 2012

I am animating comps in After Effects CS6, and I'm quickly moving objects across the screen using positioning keyframes and changing size using scaling keyframes.  Most of the time it works great; but sometimes the motion blur effect keeps appearing *after* the object has stopped moving.  Not just for a second -- but forever.  It appears correct when scrubbing on the timeline, but when I render the final output movie, a non-moving object sometimes has motion blur all over it. 
 
Sometimes I can fix it by un-parenting some layers inside the comp...  other times it doesn't fix it.  Sometimes I just delete it and start over and it works.  Seems more like a bug then something I'm doing wrong.
 
I also tried on my Mac Pro tower and Macbook Pro laptop in case it was a graphics card issue; it isn't, the exact same problem manifests itself in both areas.  I did just discover that turning continuous raster OFF does seem to fix the problem--but then my vector images are blurry when I zoom in...  and that again sounds more like a bug, not like an incorrect setting.

Illustrator :: Where Is Motion Blur Effect In AI

Jul 4, 2012

There's a gaussian and radial blur. What's so different about a motion blur?
 
I can create a sudo-motion blur by grouping several objects and moving one object off the page, then moving the center of the radial blur to that side, in the radial blur dialog. It would be much easier with a motion blur effect.
 
Another workaround is to blend  2 objects of different transparencies, but I can't save it as a graphic style. Transform would work, if transparency of "duplicate" objects could be altered. I don't see a way to do that either.
 
Looking for some creative solutions for motion blur effect, THAT CAN BE SAVED AS A GRAPHIC STYLE, I'd like to hear about them.

Xara :: Apply A Motion Blur Effect?

May 13, 2011

I'm trying to blur some text so that it blends in with the background a little. I found the perfect way to do this using the Live Effect, Soften Filter, Motion Blur. However, when I finish getting it to blur to exactly how I need it to look, there is no option to apply this to the text. When I close the box (the only option available) I lose the effect! How do I get it to apply to my text? Do I need to change the text to a shape first?

After Effects :: Aligning Text Animations In Nested Comp (imported PSD) To Music In Main Comp?

GIMP :: Creating Certain Type Of Motion Blur Effect

Sep 29, 2011

I've had trouble creating a certain type of motion blur effect. Typically, motion blur radiates outward from one single point. However, What I would like is for a whole section of an image to be clear (for instance, a character's torso) and then have the image GRADUALLY get blurrier from there.

I cannot figure a way to do this (apart from a very long process of creating many duplicate layers and doing an independent motion blur for each one).

Attached is an example of what my attempts look like right now: an obvious line around the region that I'm trying to showcase, rather than a smooth, gradual transition into the motion blur.

After Effects :: Reduce The Opacity Of A Comp Within A Comp Seamlessly?

Jun 11, 2013

I have comp A (imported from PS) that's a rectangle background with text & lines above it - which is inside comp B.
 
While on B I'm reducing the opacity of A from 100 to 0, normally over 10 frames, and the text and lines' opacity goes down normally... except the rectangle background! It's opacity is staying the same during the first 9 frames and then going from 100 to 0 in the last one.
 
As an experiment I replaced that PS layer with a solid from AE and it works fine. The whole comp's opacity reduced gradually from 100 to 0 over 10 frames.
 
What causes some layers to behave as described above?

After Effects :: No Smoother Output When Applying AA And Motion Blur At Render Time?

Aug 31, 2013

I'm rendering at 1920x1080HD 25fps. Used the expression found on numerous threads including this one to generate whole number pixel shifts per frame.
 
t = time;fr = t/thisComp.frameDuration;x = value [0];s = 4; //Speed in pixels per frame [x, fr*s]

I generated the text and images in InDesign and exported as a PDF. Imported PDF into AE. Have tried a few whole number values for s including 4 and still getting judder.
 
Generated to H264 and Apple Pro Res codecs doesn't seem to make much difference to judder.Here is my AE project with PDF. Here is output as H264 (40MB).
 
Also included a Quartz Composer file .where I created the same whole number pixel movement as AE but rendering it out in Quartz Crystal I get different judder but no better. Quartz Composer previews in real time and Quartz Crystal renders same project that took some 16min+ in AE in about 30 seconds. But no smoother output — even when applying AA and Motion Blur at render time.

Any video encoder where I can down-sample say a 75 fps render to 25 fps with frame blending? Does Apple's Compressor do frame blending? What about some other app that I can get this out smoothly from. I have FCP installed but have never done a title in it either.
 
Since my Dell only has 60Hz at full native res (2560x1440) I set it to 1080p and selected 50Hz to see if that effected anything but it makes absolutely no difference to playback smoothness.

After Effects :: Blur Moving Object In CS6?

Dec 8, 2013

I need to blur a moving object:

- The effect is only needed at some point of the video, it must appear, and then disappear, not being on screen the whole time.
 
- The object is moving, and changing shape, the blur must adapt to it.
 
- I've been trying to use the "Track Motion" option with Position & Rotation, then the "Analyze Forward" button, but the thing makes a mess all over, it's not following the object at all, then if You try to adjust it manually, it's only done in 1 frame, in the other frames the thing is off the object, then the "Tracking" stays on screen.

After Effects :: Motion Tracker With Text On Moving Train

Dec 10, 2013

I have a video clip of a train moving across the tracks.  The camera also pans to follow the path of the train.  I want text to sit on the top of the first car of the train as its travels from left to right.
 
I used Track Camera and then parented text to the Null object. 
 
The problem is that the text has to adjust in size and perspective as the train moves along.     

I have tried keyframing these options but the result appears jittery and jumpy as if the text is dancing on top of the train.     

The text should be the exact width of the first train.  

Tiny in the distance and then large as it approaches cameras.  
 
Also, there appears to be a bug with the text object not displaying the font correctly.   I have tried many fonts and each appears inconsistent. I have attached a screen grab. 
 
The red text is how the characters should appear given my font choice.  The red is NOT tied to the null object; its just a text layer.     The black font is tied to the null object.  You can obserce that certain characters are bold and others not. Overall this looks nothing like the font is supposed to appear.

Please note that both titles are the same font. password for the vimeo clip is :  train-tracker

After Effects :: How To Assign A Motion Path To The Light Rays Effect

Jul 3, 2013

I'm trying to assign a motion path to the light rays effect on one of my layers but i can't seem to find a way to do it and google has turned up nothing. the problem is the effect needs to be on a certain layer in order to make the effect look right but i don't want the layer to move i only want to affect the centre point of the effect. i can assign key frames and animate it to move in straight lines but i need it to move in a curve and there seems to be no way to alter the motion path or assign it to one on a null layer.

Edge Animate CC :: Multiple Compositions On A Page / First Comp Stops Playing

Dec 13, 2013

I have two compositions on a page and I identify them within the AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback. As soon as the user scrolls to the first animation I want to start it with an external call (compId.play()). If this is the only composition on the page it does work correctly. But as soon as the second one is added to the page it doesn't play at all. If I trigger the first animation via the console (e.g. compId.play(1000)) the animation jumps to the 1000 ms mark but then it stops immediately and doesn't play on.

Photoshop :: Moving From Comp To CSS Web Layout?

Sep 29, 2008

how designers take their Photoshop comps to a CSS-based layout. With CSS-based layouts, web pages are composed of a combination of foreground (standard) and background (CSS) graphics. I'm curious how designers get those images out of Photoshop and into a web authoring environment (be it Dreamweaver, GoLive or Notepad :-).

1. Do you make a selection, copy, create a new file and use the Save for Web feature?

2. Do you slice up the comp for both foreground and background images and then choose Save for Web?

3. Do you use a combination of 1 and 2?

Photoshop :: Blur Random Curves From One Side To Have Same Blur Distance And Effect On Whole Curve

Feb 24, 2013

I have some random curves (already created) and I want to blur them just from one side to have the same blur distance and effect one the whole curve.

To more precisely describe what I need, I need to create gradient with direction of normal for every "point". The best example I have found so far are borders in Civilization IV game. Here are two examples:

3.bp.blogspot.com/-40x9Kw5vrrA/TiHjTNwOuQI/AAAAAAAAADA/uw2NeAnsmOk/s1600/Civ4ScreenShot0008.JPG
apolyton.net/civ4/files/info-images/agade.png

As you can see, there is a solid curve, which gradually blends (i.e. alpha channel is lowered) till the gradient disappears. I have the solid curve and the question is, what would be the simplest way how to do this (the number of curves is around 100) gradient.

After Effects :: Comp Renders As Black Screen?

After Effects :: Colours In An Image Comes Out Different After Rendering Comp?

Apr 16, 2013

For a project, I've imported a jpeg file that I made on Photoshop. The colors look perfectly fine on the RAM previews and stuff but after I render it, just that specific jpg image comes washed out. It should be dark grey / almost black but after rendering into .mov that image becomes medium grey. It's noticeably more washed out and lighter. All the other colors in that image are also noticeably lighter as well.
 
I have set my working space to my monitors color profile and I have proofed the colors after saving on Photoshop.

Photoshop :: A Better Motion Blur?

Mar 6, 2008

I have used the motion blur filter, but it just does not look photographic. Does anyone know of any other 3rd party filters or techniques to make to the motion blur look more realistic. I know you can mask and erase parts. And, make a copy slightly transparent and offset.

It seems realistic motion blur has more solid highlights from end to end and soft shadows.
Also realistic motion blur only goes in one direction.

I thought someone would have a better motion blur filter with more options with highlight and shadow control. and some random waviness as if not going exactly in one direction

Photoshop :: Motion Blur For A Car

Oct 2, 2006

I understand the basic concept of the motion blur, but what I'd like to do is create a picture where I have a vehicle that pretty much looks normal in front but from the mid-point back... it's a gradual blur that has enough color to make sure the viewer senses it is the car and not the background. I'd like the car to be separate from the background so I can experiment with backgounds blurred or not. I'm almost thinking you'd stretch the back half of the car with a gradual fade. Hope I'm explaining this correctly .

Another effect I'm not sure about is whether it would look good with staged, blurred layers so that the car is in varying levels of transparency but you see the full outline of the car and its like steps with a disolve to almost nothing on the left and in say 20 sequences... the last car on the right is fully rendered and highlighted.

After Effects :: Why Does Pasting Multiple Layers Into A Different Comp Ruin The Order

Feb 25, 2013

I have 6 layers in a comp, and I'm taking them across, via copy/paste, to another comp.  Each second layer is an Alpha channel for the one below it.  However when they're pasted into the next comp they ALWAYS are reversed, or randomly resorted, ruining everything about their blends and alpha relationships with one another.
 
Why does After Effects do this? Is there a way to prevent it from happening?
 
This doesn't just happen in this instance, I've noticed it nearly always happening when pasting multiple layers.

Photoshop :: Motion / Blur Prior To Lightroom

Dec 23, 2011

I am interested in controlling motion/blur in the photograph, prior to Lightroom and Photoshop.  Many photo subjects (e.g. leaves, cars, waves) are moving.  I've been calculating the pixel size in a photo.  This is not just the pixel information of the sensor.  For example, with a certain lense zoom and focus distance, each pixel will represent a definable zone of the image.  Then, there is the zone of the print, which corresponds to the original zone of the image.  There are many variables to consider.  Motion within and beyond each pixel affects the image.
 
I am interested in literature, documentation or people that will guide me in the understanding of the control of motion/blur in the taking of the photo.  With this, my photos will be far better and, also, easier to edit.
