Hi there. I tried to post this reply earlier but got flagged as a Spammer. So after getting an email from Ronald telling me that he’d greenlighted my account, I think I’m in the clear.

I think for the effect itself you can look here:

As for a tutorial on how to make it I think I saw it back in the day but the old thought machine ain’t that sharp anymore.

Hope I was of some help at least.

Cheers!

Hi Tim. Sorry for taking so long to respond. And thank you for spending your time to do so.

I actually made a new project on AE and stuffed everything I could into it so it would (probably) break. It didn´t happen. It ran as smooth as it could. Fast saves, fast previews, fast scrubbing, etc.

And another job from the same client came and it went really well. (AEwise)

But last week the damaged project came back for changes and it´s now Sunday night as I put the finishing touches on it. This got from bad to worse. I turned off auto saves so that problem is over but now I can´t even preview. I´m animating using the Force basically.

Good thing I´ve been doing it for more than 10 years so I can tell (or think I can) that the animation is ok just by the distance of the keyframes.

The curious thing is it´s just on this particular project that I opened and worked on around the time I moved on to the newest version of AE.

I´d love to send you the project but I don´t know if it´s ok with the client. (BASF) Maybe I´ve said too much already.

I tried to open the project on another project, tried importing the project on a new one as well…nothing helps. And it´s one hell of a simple project. A couple matted out videos by timeline, some animated icons, type and boxes covered with a layer of MB Looks for good measure. 2D, 1080p. Nothing fancy.

I do believe something went wrong when I opened the project for the first time. Hopefully it´s gonna be buried with it. Never to haunt me again.

Cheers!

I just started having this problem with the long saves.

I´ve been working with AE2017 since it launched and it was more than OK. Had one major crash but nothing to worry about. (I kept the older version for a while and made the jump only after feeling it was ok to do so)

Two days ago I had to go back to a project and AE started behaving in a weird way. Any time I delete something from the project or close a timeline I get a tortoise speed unnecessary auto-save. Some of them can get take as long as a minute.

Then AE comes back to life. It´s the same on regular saves and incremental saves.

I reduced the project as much as I could and it really didn’t change anything. The project itself is quite simple really. I have some motion graphics and a single video inserted on it. I also re-rendered the video sent by the client but nothing changed.

Also tried another old project and creating a new test one from scratch…same deal.

It´s not a major work killing issue but it´s annoying and really takes you off of your line of thought and messes up the workflow.

I´m on Windows10. On a ASUS N550 – i7 2.4ghz – 16GB RAM – Nvidia GT750M – 500GB SSD HD for OS and 1TB SSD data disk on a caddy bay.

Hi there Kris.

To make sure it worked I followed Mr. Bremer’s instructions and it worked just fine.

Just make sure you un-check the eyeball (video on-off switch) for the Fractal Noise layer so the Displacement map can work and you can only see the text.

If you´re having some other trouble please just let us know.

Cheers!

Hi there. All suggestions are spot on but if you want things to be more automatic and/or be able to do it for multiple layers at the same time you might want to check this one out:

Just right click the layer you´re looking for and select Reveal layer source in project from the menu.

Cheers.

Would it be ALT+PageUp and ALT+PageDown?

Hope I understood you question correctly.

Cheers!
