I don’t believe you actually need to precomp it for that. You can just set the layers transfer mode to screen.

This video tutorial should help you understand the deal with alpha channels, and the difference between the 2 kinds of alpha renders in after effects:

maybe maybe not. Since a non-intrense alpha channel requires some real compositing knowledge, i doubt that person buying it would know how to use it any way. So the guy making the video for sale would get slammed.

The original comment stems from the fact that someone litterally plopped an emitter on the stage, rendered it, and then sells it on istock photo for between $5 and $20 depending on resolution.

Legally there is no issue. You can use emitter for whatever you want provided you don;t sell the actuall emitter.

And morally, there’s no real issue either – Someone who doesn’t know how to use particleIllusion will get a particle effect without having to learn something new.

That saiid, it’s always kind of annoying when someone else does the hard work, and this guy is getting rich off of it without doing any hard work himself. wel… Welcome to america! Work smarter not harder. There’s nothing wrong with that.

On the other side of it, based on the video, and my knowledge of pIllusion and compositing, this footage will have some problems because it needs a non-intense alpha to work properly, and that’s not what he’s provided. As a result there will prbably be some collor fringing at the edges which will be very visible when placed over anything but black. So good luck to anyone that buys it.

ParticleIllusion cannot create anything but square pixels. The formats you asked about are not sqare pixesl. As a reult you must work in square pixels in pIllusion, but you have to do it with measurements that will be adjusted properly when added to your video editor. most video editing programs will understand that they need to stretch (or squish) the image if it has the wrong Pixel aspect ratio. If you;ve sized the footage correctly it will resize perfectly.

The SPE’s I gave you are designed to acoount for all of that and automatically size them properly.

pillsuion can only work in square pixels, so I am going to give you the actual dimensions and then the square pixel equivilent (SPE) – meaning the size that you will need to work with in pIllusion for the footage to fit properly in a non-square pixel comp. Frame rates are also listed as pIllusion capable frame rates (ex. 30 FPS instead of 29.97):

PAL D1 DV
Dimensions: 720 576
SPE: 768 x 576
FPS: 25

PAL D1 DV Widescreen
720 x 576
SPE: 1024 x 576
FPS: 25

NTSC DV
720 480
SPE: 648 x 480
FPS: 30

NTSC DV Widescreen
720 x 480
SPE: 864 x 480
FPS: 30

If you want to learn the real ins and outs of pillusion – check out Elvis Deane’s particleIllusion DVD: https://www.creativecowtraining.net

It goes through virtually all of the features found in pillusion.

right now, only as nested compositions (created via pre-composing). That does sound like a nice feature, and maybe one worth emailing adobe about adding into future releases.

October 9, 2006 at 12:19 am in reply to: Cartoonisation Effect with Green Screen Styles – Need some Alpha channel help!

First Cartoonify – then remove the green in AE. Make sure to allow only one green in the color pallete to ensure an easy key.

That will work.
