The video that you're attempting to import is not compatible with the program. I'm not entirely sure what bugs AFX, but I take it it's probably the AVI hacks of using XviD in AVI and the like. I don't know the approach that other people use, but I always convert the parts of the video I need to Lagarith before importing.

ASS scripts cannot be directly imported through AFX. You need to either find (or write) a JavaScript script to read and interpret the information found in the ASS file, or hardsub the karaoke onto the video and do it the long way.

i have a question. i was trying to make an animation today but the lowe bar where you add in the parts to set when they show up in the screen was set on frame rate rather on time which was VERY annoying..

how do you switch that from frame rate timing to normal time timing

Under the File menu, go to Project Settings and select Timecode Base. I prefer working in frames though.

That's an option.. "ctrl + left click" on that framenumber/timestamp is a lot easier though

Is Adobe After Effects designed not to support sound? If not, then I have a problem.

I'm a complete newbie [and hopefully not a future noob], but when I previewed it in the Project Pane there was sound.

The problem occurs when I drag it into the timeline. The wave form (L, L) ...well there is no wave form.

I checked the rampreview pane and made sure that sound wasn't muted.

Lastly, I pressed period and well not a thing.


I'd appreciate help because I'd really like to try typesetting to help the community [also distro access sounds nice lol jk].

l33tsp34k,

Ganky!~

AFx does support sound, but it plays back sound only if the video clip comes with it. All previewing also plays back the audio that comes with the clip, afaik. you should be able to mute the sound by unchecking the Audio option with the preview submenus

Maybe it has something to do with the preview options.. Rampreview always gives you sound after rendering, but hitting space bar (whatever that mode of preview is called) doesnt, scrolling through the timeline doesnt either. You can however, hold the control key (iirc) while scrolling, and then you'll hear stuttering sound. Hope that's what you mean.

Btw.. someone else tried AE CS3 preview yet? Those shape layers are fun, so is the puppet tool.. But i think the only useful option for kara is 3d stuff, something bout extra 3d options.. rotating round a cilinder and stuff

I think it's better to rip the audio and drag both video and audio in a new composition then deactivate sound of the video. To rampreview with audio click numpad "0"

Saving jsx to ssa? Is that Possible?

Though there are lots of effects that can be done in both AFX and SSA/ASS with Lua scripting in ASS...I would really just figure out most of the \t tags and \clip for SSA if you want to convert any effects.

There are no direct way, that is in my knowledge to do such a thing :P.

well, look for the after effects SDK... But you can't modify other people's plugins...

Plugins are coded in a weird way, though... I could never understand how to create one with their crappy SDK and exemples ^^.

Remember though that it's only possible to change pixels/image. I couldn't find anything that supports text (back when i was trying to make an effect that does kara regulation). But the SDK does come with a big guide, and if you have some programming experience in C or whatever it is, you should be able to make something easy.

Plugins & Effects are all binaries... It's the same question, like how you would modify /improve an executable file (say, notepad.exe). Without source codes, you'll be alone in editing them via asm. Likewise, you can use ae sdk to create your own ae plugins and effects, perhaps written in C++, then compiled to dll or aex (alpha five executable).

After getting the wanted effects in after effects how do I do to export that so I can encode the video in virtualdub, or there´s a way to encode it with quality in after effects?

1. Drag your composition to Render Queue
2. Click under Output Module, and use the following options:

http://pichu.org/stuff/afx-ts-2.png

3. Save as your avi, using HUFFY, Raw, or Lagarith Codecs (they work well)
4. Click under Render Settings: Select Best Quality & Full Resolution
5. Render to an AVI/RGBA file!
6. You'll need to overlay the videos using avisynth if you were to encode, say, in vdub.
-- you could use my script though, as it works fairly well and it's easy to use, considering it has the ability to segment the signs in the same overlay.

http://pichu.org/Signs_Overlay.avsi

Edit: note, if you require to use a different blend-mode (notably anything but normal "blend" mode) as your overlay, you can do so quite easily by having it to put as separate videos and then overlay it using a different blend-mode. In my script, you can put them as a segment within the same overlay video, as long as it doesn't overlap with other overlays. Needless to say, is this important? Well, I found one instance that requires it.

http://pichu.org/stuff/stxw_next_ep.png

In the episode above, the glows in the "Next Episode" are actually "Exclusion" blend mode (pure white color) with different opacities during scene changes.

I guess I'm posting at the right place, cos this has to do mostly with AFX. Anyway, this is a picture from Ergo Proxy 15:

As you all might know, it's an episode that needs an extreme amount of work on both photoshop + AFX.
In this particular picture, there is a box with kanji that has been replaced by a similar box that contains the same words in Greek (my mother language). But suddenly a logo appears bouncing all over the screen and the result is something like this.
I've tried various ways of layer blending in AFX but I got nothing. I hope that there's some other way than creating a complicate mask for every frame that this thing is bouncing.
Just to inform you, I create an AFX project, which I render in lossless RGBA and overlay it over the original video. Does anyone have some idea about this? Thanks a lot in advance.
