Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Displacement Map yields red frame

  • Displacement Map yields red frame

    Posted by John Oczkowski on April 15, 2009 at 5:01 am

    I’m using a displacement map effect to distort a layer vertically using the luminance of my map layer, and it’s working as I would expect. Except if I try to animate the displacement, for example, if I change the amount from -100 to 100 over some period of time. During the interpolation, the entire frame turns a semi-opaque red color. This goes away after the change in displacement value is complete.

    I solved this for the project I was working on by breaking the layer in question into 1 frame chunks, thereby allowing me to delete any keyframes. But this is a rather ungainly solution. Any insight into what is happening/how this could be fixed more elegantly?

    Thanks for reading,
    John

    Thanks Dave, but the footage is an uncompressed 3840×2160 23.976 fps quicktime movie generated from .r3d by redrushes. So there should be no temporal compression. Hmm…

    Sounds like it’s an issue with the plugin or perhaps OpenGL.

    Try adding more contrast to the displacement layer so that you won’t have to use such high values for the amount of displacement.
