COMMON AFTER EFFECTS QUESTIONS — PLEASE LOOK HERE FIRST

[Kathlyn Lindeboom]

Thanks Joel for creating this list. Hopefully, it will give people the incentive to take a moment and look at the list before they just barge in with the same question tbat’s been posted before.

If you have additional common questions and resources and want to list them here, please feel free to.

Super-mega-excellent work Joel!

I just though I’d add just a few more that I think resumed the person’s question pretty well!

If your footage is assembled from different cuts, the pulldown is different for each cut. You need to ask the editor to give you each cut separately, so you can then find the pulldown phase and remove pulldown separately for each clip. Or you might have to cut and re-import it yourself.

Alternately, your footage might have been shot 24p advanced, and you’ll need to pick a phase for “remove advanced pulldown”.

Or your film was shot at 30 fps, with no pulldown. Maybe.

Trying to import files from Adobe Illustrator, but the vector is not being preserved when it’s brought into After Effects. Is this because we’re still using 6.5 or is it another issue?

Don’t forget to press the continuous rasterize button.

The “Great” stands for “Not-So-Great”
