I heard about that its possible to track/grab/capture your brush/viewport while you are working in after effects.
Is this done in AE or did they use tools like fraps etc..?
You can do some cool Realtime Masking Effects with it.
I'm having trouble with AE CC playing a RAM preview at a realtime framerate - it's lagging behind at random speeds. This is a short image sequence (of many more to come) My iMac just seems to struggle with this, I can't figure out why. Is this a Graphics card issue?? We have an older mac here which has an older card with more ram (1024 MB) on the card, which takes longer to render the preview (is that due to less system RAM?) But, plays back with a solid 30fps framerate no worries..Is this a problem with the particular Graphics Card on this iMac? There seems to be little info about this card that I can find with After Effects.
Project task:
- I am only previewing a short (15 sec) 1920 X 1080 image sequence (either TIFF or EXR) at 30 FPS. Ram preview going at around 20-28 fps: 'fps: 20.271 / 30.00 NOT realtime'
- RAM Preview set to Full Res, 30 fps Frame Rate, Composition settings 30fps, footage 30fps
- tried lower quality settings, tried cropping video - same jerky framerate
- Even when video is rendered to a .Mov Lossless file the video is still juddery and appears to be dropping frames when played in Quick Time - VLC is better slightly.
System / Memory Preferences:
Ram shared by other apps: 4GB Ram reserved for AE: 28GB..After Effects Multiprocessing: ON Installed CPUs: 4 CPUs reserved for other apps: 2 RAM allocated per bg CPU: 6GB actual CPUs used: 2
Extra notes:
- Have tried with using less memory on the system, no diffeence - not a problem with the RAM in the iMac (which is above the recommended standard, I know, but works fine with everything)
- Running After Effects CC - no other programs running
- Works fine with other Mac we have - which is OSX Lion & After Effects 5.0 with ATI Radeon 5750 HD 1024MB Graphics Card.
- Had the same issues with After Effects 5.5
- Tried with After Effects 5.5 with Apple RAM 12GB no difference on this machine
- Monitored System CPU & GPU - no problem running at CPU 25% & GPU 40-50%
I am motion tracking a logo out of my clip by using simple motion tracking. The shot is a bit shakey but the tracker does a pretty good job, then afterwards to be certian I am going through frame by frame to ensure the entire logo is blurred out. (Its fairly big). And doing minor adjustments if need be.
After rendering the clip in my composition window and watching it, its plays through nicely, exacly how I want it.
The I hit (Command M) to "Make Movie" and render my clip out. I use "Best Settings" and render it out, the issue here is that when it is rendering, my blur becomes out of place and does NOT follow the logo like it should be. It jumps around, it dosent completely leave the logo, and jump all over the screen, but it makes the logo clealy visible. But it somewhat follows the logo across the screen in a horizintal matter, but does not stay in place like how the motion tracker/I set it to be.
This is weird to me because I have blurred out several things in the film using the same method already, and for some reason this one is just not working.
I am on MAC OSX 10.9.2
Running Creative Suite CS5
Everytime I´m near finishing my project the image that should be tracking motion disappear.
I have a clip, and then I want to paste a picture into it that have a moving mouth. I think I'm on the right track
I cannot get the Full-Screen Tracking Vector to display. I toggle the button in Options>Drafting and hit apply, but nothing. Help says that the Track path System Variable should be = 1, but when the button is on, the Variable = 0. If I set the Variable = 1, it shuts the button off.

Is there a way to keep the clone stamp's initial position and then add the path onto it?I am using the clone stamp to remove unwanted duct tape that was used to keep lights on a wall.
I am having trouble locking onto a temporary tracking point in autocad 2011. I can't seem to find the start tracking icon and it doesn't recognize the 'TT' command. I have a tracking line, I just can't seem to do it in two dimensions.

Along similar lines, something else weird is happening. When I create a group.I can't move just one layer within that group. ALL layers in the group move. This also didn't used to happen.
I somehow changed a preference, but I can't for the life of me figure out.
Is there a way to show a displacement map effect preview in a shaded/realistic viewport?
I know you can do it in Maya, just can't find the setting for this in Max 2012.
In previous versions I have used a pan feature tied to the view toolbar. In 2013 no such pan icon is included on the view toolbar. So, I am in the process of adding (customizing) the view toolbar. I realize that I don't know the difference between "pan" and "realtime pan".
when I would use the "pan" feature, instead of the "realtime pan" feature?
I made a custom brush that worked fine until is restarted Illustrator. Now I see this until I release the pen:

I would like to know of a way of grabbing the code that triggers different commands for example, someone a while back gave me this command of

I am trying to align two identical images which are 180 degrees rotated apart ( and not exact mirrors ) I need to be able to grab the rotation handles from within the area of the image. In order to see matching features I need to be zoomed in, and can't see the features if I zoom out far enough to grab the handles. I prefer the handles over numerically transforming.

I don't want to have to be within two pixels or so to be able to highlight or grab an anchor point. I've tried upping the selection tolerance to 8 px and it hasn't appeared to do anything.

My AE comp renders as a full-length video of a black screen (with audio, when enabled). Comp plays fine in RAM preview, and I've tried all types of codecs and disabling RAM intensive effects, though I'm working on a quad-core i7 macbook pro with 8 gigs of RAM, so that shouldn't be a problem.

So, this is pretty much all I see:
I can't move or do anything with the light. It's just stuck! I've looked at other screens of people using lighting effects and there's (obviously) supposed to be some sort of on screen controls. And for some odd reason mine aren't showing up. I've been having this issue for days now and I'm not sure why it's not working. Also, I'm using Windows 7. In addition, my alignment buttons seem to always be greyed out, or "unclickable".
So I've been trying to follow some 3d camera tracker tutorials to the tee but I keep having the same problem. When I go to render the video instead of the character staying in a fixed spot it starts to bounce all over the video.
This is the main tutorial I've been trying to follow; [URL]
My error rate is only .73.
This seems to have only started happening recently, and it's a pain. After you preview an effect in full screen, the time navigator brackets are pulled to the very start and end of the video. You return from a fullscreen video preview to see your timeline extended over the whole duration of the project.
Is there some way to turn this off? I frequently work on small sections of a project, regularly watching full-screen previews to check how various changes look, and after the tenth or so time what starts as a minor irritation becomes completely infuriating. It seems like something easily fixed, but I've had no luck finding out how.
I'm here with 2013 SP2 64 bit Build 200 and two screens. Left screen is graphics area, Browser is on the left of right screen. Graphics is ATI Fire Pro V7800 with driver 9.3.3.3000.
In video (zipped MP4) you see a cutout of both screens, think of screens changing at the left of the browser.
Now, in many cases, after doing an operation, the browser is jumping back to the middle of my graphics in the left screen.
