Photoshop :: Masking 3d Composition

Jan 11, 2008

I've built this 3d model and i need some help compositing into the photo

the problem im having is that i need to keep the monkey puzzle tree and the bare tree infront of the building but apart from painting a mask buy hand i i'm struggeling to get any decent results.

Here is a quick mock up i did but i need to mask out the trees accurately

I managed to get the trees where they over lap the sky because the background was contrasting and consistant using the technique below but it removes the bottom of the building and only helped with the trees that intercept the sky line.

I'm using Photshop 6.

Photoshop :: Moving Layers In A Composition For...

Apr 6, 2009

I can't move one layer' image to be under/over another one in the final arrangement space because when I do, they lose all the adjustments I had previously made.Background: I didn't move the adjusted photos into the final space in the right way in this, my first venture into CS 4, and know that now. However, when I DO try to move new photos I have adjusted and properly  transferred them via Edit>merged and Edit>paste to the final place and try to move <i>those images</i>, the same thing happens! I need to know how to overlap images for placement.

After Effects :: Previewing Composition In 3D?

Jan 27, 2014

I am making stereoscopic 3D videos with After Effects. Setting up the rig and rendering work fine, but sometimes the video's convergence is off and I need to make adjustments. I was wondering if there's a way to view the Composition with my 3D glasses before rendering. I'm using an Asus VG248QE monitor with an NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 glasses.

3ds Max :: Desktop Composition Screwing Up Toolbars

May 31, 2012

We are making the slow and paranoid transition to max2013, it being free with our subscription package. I run windows 7 64bit.

In my graph editor, I am trying to use the soft-selection tool, but my curser shows the "move window" icon when I roll over the 'soft' button. I can't click it...and I realized it does this with alot of toolbars. I can't use these tools at all.

After some trouble shooting, I realized that by turning off Desktop Composition in my windows performance settings, I solve the problem.

So I am happy to turn desktop composition off when I use Max, but the switch "disable desktop composition" in my Max shortcut seems to do nothing at all.

After Effects :: Composition Keeps Moving Position On Its Own?

Jun 18, 2013

I'm scaling and repositioning my composition at several points. A curious thing keeps happening though. My composition is moving it's self in between all my points even when they are the same on both sides. I'll have two keyframes with exactly the same positions at different times and in between those exact same keyframes I'll have the composition moving... I have everything symetrical.

After Effects :: Unable To Loop Composition?

Mar 31, 2013

i'm trying to loop my composition (72 frames) containing a moving object (a walking chicken, refer to printscreen)
 
i followed tutorial here [URL] ........
 
In short, i applied Layer > Time > Enable Time Remapping to my newly created Comp 2. Two key frames were created. I moved to the last frame, and then 1 keyframe backwards and created a new keyframe. Then on the very last keyframe i set the time to 0 and then deleted the penultimate frame (which i had just created). And then added Property > LoopOut(Type="Cycle", numKeyframes = 0)  to the layer i want to loop.
 
however, after applying LoopOut expression, i am no longer able to playback - when i pres Play to preview, the chicken stands still (meanwhile time indicator is moving continuously, indicating that playback is in action).
 
Thinking that i deleted wrong keyframe, i undid all changes and repeated all steps again but this time i deleted the very last frame and left the penultimate frame (and setting time to 0 ). It did not have any effect - chicken does not move, time indicator is moving/looping in the timeline.
 
using AE CS6 trial version, windows 7

After Effects :: Holding Last Frame In Composition

Dec 6, 2013

I have read that you can use Time Remapping to hold the last frame of a png sequence so that you can create a pause between transitions, without importing the last frame or anything.
 
I have tried the technique described here >>URL.... but I think my workflow is in the way.
 
My entire animation (+/- 600 frames) has been rendered in 3D and imported as one sequence in AFX. I composite my highlights and shadows in a composition and called it Master. Then I made smaller compositions and placed the Master comp inside them and cut it up to size. I placed the separate sequences in a comp called Stage. So now I can just import one single sequence when I render again.
 
Now I am trying to let the last frame of the smaller sequences to hold for a few frames, before transitioning into the next. The Time Remapping just doesnt seem to work, because it is not holding anything when I move the last frame, it just shows the next part of the master animation.
 
Is there a way around this or do I need to import every sequence as a unique set?

After Effects :: Composition Turning Invisible While Doing Anything

May 19, 2013

So I Installed After Effects CS6 today and I made a new composition to make an intro for a speech in school.I haven't even tried alot of tools yet but for example when I add a text and change the font size I only see the gray background and the rectangle the text is in. The black and the text in there disappears while changing the font size.Also when I use the rectangle tool to select the text, I can't see what I'm selecting because the same thing happens.

After Effects :: Crashes When Click On Composition

Nov 6, 2013

I'm a fairly experienced user and have bought a template from one of the Royalty Free sites.However, as in the title, AE (CS5 and a CC trial) both crash when I go near some of the compositions. I say 'some' becasue it only seems to be a few that are problematic.I've downloaded the zip again and tried all sorts like renaming the project, emptying the cache, using the Collect Files option to try a new project and downloaded a CC trial but all the same.

Paint Shop Pro :: Making Picture Composition

Dec 9, 2011

In the picture attachted there is a compostition I made through PhotoScape (I just have come from this software). How to do it in PaintShop X4. My traditional-old steps:

a) First I applied in each photo picture a picture frame (like a shadow).

b) Second I join all photo picture and logos in a big picture.

c) I inserted titles (people name) bellow each photo.

d) To conclude I applied a picture frame to the big picture (in PhotoScape this frame is called “shadow border”).

Just a comment: It seems Corel PaintShop has mostly “cartoon” picture frames. I tried to find out something like “PhotoScape shadow border” without success. Is there something similar available in PaintShop? Is it possible to add new picture frames to the PaintShop library?

After Effects :: Illustrator Files Won't Import As A Composition?

Apr 5, 2014

I'm trying to import some Adobe Illustrator files into After Effects so that I can animate them. As far as I understand, I need to import them as a composition so that the layers will remain separate from each other.
 
However whenever I try to do this, I go through the whole process- select the file, select composition, click OK,  it does nothing. The file does not appear anywhere in my project, it's as if I haven't done anything.

After Effects :: How To Paste Layers Into A Composition Without It Overlapping

Oct 18, 2013

I'm currently using a free typography template.
 
The template has 8 compositions and I'm trying to arrange the compositions to play in the order I'd like them to play.
 
I tried copying/pasting the layers into a pre-existing composition but the text overlaps with the other text layers.
 
I also tried to pre compose the layers and then copy/paste that into a composition but it also overlaps. Then I tried to drag it to the bottom and/or move the bar on the sequence but it won't appear when i play.

Edge Animate CC :: Error - No Composition Loaded?

Aug 20, 2013

I just finished part of my site and all of a sudden i'm getting this error
 
"No composition loaded in Adobe Edge Animate" 
 
It's not consistent and so far, has only happened on my local machine. 
 
Hasn't happened on the server yet, but, I'd like to avoid this if possible
 
I published all my files and checked the site for size and everything seems ok
 
Do I need to add code to compensate for this error?

After Effects :: Camera And Composition Linked Sizes?

Jun 21, 2013

Having trouble working with a large composition and camera work. The size is 11264 x 6928 and when I add in my camera it wants to be comp size. But the size I only want the camera to show is 1920 x 1080.
 
Is there anyway to edit or unlink the camera and composition sizes so that they are separate? I have tried editing the comp size , adding in a camera at that point and then resizing the comp, but the camera resizes with it!!!
 
At the moment my work around is having the cameras z position closer to the comp and having this large comp nested within a regular 1920 x 1080. This seems all a bit unnessary though.

Photoshop :: Masking

Aug 4, 2009

I'm switching from Corel to Adobe and in transition I keep thinking ia have it and then I'm lost again.In CorelPaint, I could mask an area and then use a tool to add to or delete from the mask pixel by pixel or larger areas if I wanted by using a brush. I am REALLY good at it in Corel but can't figure it out yet in Photoshop. I can draw simple masks but not manipulate them.I hope this makes sense. I want to learn adding to and deleting a masked area. I looked at some online searches but here I am.In response to my last posting (another topic) I was directed to some tutorails and got it quickly.

After Effects :: Make Animation On Composition Appear In Different Times On Timeline?

Apr 30, 2013

I'm trying to make a mobile app overview and I want to add a little "tapping" animation a whole bunch of times for parts where a button is tapped and so forth. I made an animation of a circle scaling quickly to show the tapping.
 
The only way I can think of doing this is painstakingly mapping out its position keyframes for the different times in the timeline along with setting hundreds of keyframes for the scale. Is there a way I can just animate it once and then just insert it on various parts of the timeline?

Premiere Pro :: How To Import Composition Including Blending Modes

Mar 26, 2014

I have a lower thirds composition I want to import from After Effects CC into Premiere Pro CC. While I have no problem importing the composition, I do have a problem with Premiere Pro displaying properly the blending modes I set in AE.
 
I've tried every blending mode... (I read somewhere Premiere Pro is only compatible with some AE blending modes.)
 
What appears in Premiere is a completely flat composition.
 
Is it possible to import an After Effects composition, including blending modes?
 
Blending Mode effect shown below, Soft Light. (After Effects first, Premiere Pro second.)

After Effects :: 3D Layer Selection Altering Composition Startpoint

Dec 20, 2013

I have a composition made up of 3 layers. Two text layers and one vector shape as an AI file. I would like the shape to spin on the Y axis (which requires 3d to be selected) - but when I select the 3D checkbox on the shape layer, the entire composition (text included) rotates 90 on the X axis. So effectively selecting 3D makes the whole composition flat so the starting point is altered.

After Effects :: Stretching Length Of Entire Composition Not Layers

Oct 26, 2013

I need to time-stretch a whole comp. It's based on a Video blocks template, but for the purposes of this particular piece, I don't need to stretch the template itself, individual layers/clips/avi files, etc... The entire composition is moving about four times faster than it really needs to. Nothing needs to be individually adjusted; it's an "overall" issue-- I just need to stretch the 15 second time uniformly to one minute. For some reason, I'm having a lot of trouble finding out how to do this. Changing the duration/ time stretch has just created a sixty second video with fifteen seconds at the same speed and then forty-five seconds of black. There HAS to be a simple way to do this...
