Another way to create wiggle is to create a keyframe when you want the wiggle to start (probably a position or rotation keyframe) and another one when you want it to end. Select them both. Under Window>The Wiggler, you can have After Effects generate actual keyframes to create your wiggle, instead of an expression that will run it continuously. The advantage is you can easily start/stop/tweak your wiggle, the disadvantage is you have a bunch of messy keyframes.

Also, with your motion path visible, you can use the ‘convert vertex’ tool to click on your motion path vertices and convert them to being straight. Same thing as everyone mentioned above, different way to go about it.

The reason your graph editor isn’t showing what you want it to is probably because you have it set to speed graph instead of value graph. You can change this by clicking ‘choose graph type and options’ under the graph editor.

I personally wouldn’t use the stroke effect if you’re happy with your drawing. The effect will generate a nice vector drawing, but it will look computer-generated, since it will be. Although that effect totally works in many (most?) situations, if you want to retain that hand-drawn feel, I’d use your actual drawings and have them trace on screen using the Generate > Write-On effect. You’ll animate a line as if it were drawing your image, and it’ll reveal it depending on how you animate it.

Otherwise, yes, I totally agree with Kevin on this one. Jumping into software with one specific task to do can be tricky. Best of luck!

That’s pretty cool– still lacking in automated metadata embedding, but perhaps this script combined with the On Location spreadsheet export could be a way of getting what I want.

I’d still love it if this could all happen inside Premiere, where thumbnails and metadata already live, instead of using After Effects and On Location. coughwinkhintAdobe

Thanks for your help, everyone! I’ve also been in touch with the people who make Final Print to see if they can support Premiere’s codecs.

You’re trying to change your source text? There is a keyframe for that.

I believe Dave means using Keylight to generate basically a cookie-cutter layer– not for the color correction. Sometimes keylight can produce noisy artifacts. So if you use keylight to generate just the alpha layer– that is, the layer that says whether video is transparent or opaque– then combine that layer with your original footage by using Track Matte > Alpha Matte. Keylight will cut out the shape that you want, but you’ll be able to preserve your original color because we’ll actually be seeing your original footage without Keylight’s noisy processing.

Actually, OnLocation does a good job of exporting a spreadsheet of your metadata– sans thumbnails, but it’s the best I’ve got so far.
