Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Basic Time Remapping question

  • Basic Time Remapping question

    Posted by Dave Wittekind on January 1, 2014 at 8:02 pm

    I’m trying to follow a tutorial in Trish & Chris Meyer’s book about time remapping. I added the TR property, but after that, they say to twirl down the arrow just to the left of the stopwatch to reveal the value & velocity graphs. My TR line in the timeline doesn’t show any twirldown arrow, just the “go to pevious/next arrows at the very left. How can I get the TR velocity/value graphs to show up in the timeline?
    Thanks for any help.

    What book are you using? Give the edition number and/or year.

    Oops. Thanks, Todd. I should’ve mentioned I’m using CS5 and the book covers AE 6.5. Has this funtionality changed since then?

    Get a new edition of the book. That is horribly out of date.

    I’m willing to go out on a very sturdy limb here and claim that the jump from AE 6.5 to AE 7 was probably one of the biggest in the history of the application… well, definitely in the interface 🙂 Getting a new book is a great idea.

    As for your question about the value and speed graphs they reside in the Graph Editor in the timeline, the shortcut is Shift-F3 and the toggle icon is the farthest right above the layer switches (where the composition toggles reside: Motion Blur, Brainstorm, Automatic Keyframing, etc.)

    Thanks very much, Darby & Todd. This helps get me past this hurdle. I’m ordering a new edition of Meyer’s book today.
