Yes, i am putting it as a 3d object, and it works. And it works to shape it on the z-axis. But if you move one part up, it goes to the left and and etc. Nothing makes senses and it is hard to shape it as u want.

Does the plug in work for ae?

Hi!
I am trying to edit a line (shape layer made to 3d) in ae. Obivously you can use the pen-tool, add anchor points and shape and bend the layer as you want in the Y-X axis. You can also do it in the Z-axis, but for me, it is just messing around on the z-axis and impossible to put/bend i where i want (when im moving it right it goes up, or left or…

Hi,

I have rendered out a loseless QT-version from AE. I want to render it to a version (maybe h.264) or another alternative, compatible with youtube etc.

Since my ME is not working i am using premiere to render my QT-version, generated from AE.

In the render preview window everything i looking great, without any big loss of quality. But the final…

Hi!
Would be highly appreciated, to take a closer look on a tutorial that describes a good workflow between PS and AE (or perhaps a better choice of, cel animation tool thats works better for the purpose).

What i will try to accomplish is something like this:

Anyone got…

Hi!
A ongoing dilemma i am facing is: where too, and not too, collect layers in pre comps in order too make it easier to work.
Benefits from collecting is obvious (overview and order).

But the drawbacks (at least for me), is when u need to extend the time of an animation or something inside a nest. It will creates a lot of extra work jumping back and…

Perhaps not!

But with solutions will you use, if you do just want to make small loop animations to use in letterhead, or on websites?

Walter (above in conversation) suggest lottie. But that solution is limited to browsers (Anyway i will have to pay for a premium account on my CMS (Elementor) in order to apply images, to my website from it).

Thanks!

But it seems strange that yo u will have to buy a plugin for 30€, be able doing something that should be pretty standard.
The other options seems better, but that will only work thru browsers right?

Hi,

I will (only on some files) get a lot of small dots and other rubbish on gifs i am rendering from AE thru ME (se example).

Anyone got any idea of how to solve it?
(or thoughts of using another format, publishing animations on digital platforms and web).

Like this, but with the stroke to appear similar, regardless of position to the z-axis

Yes, you can scale it and add this expression:

” value / length(toComp([0,0]), toComp([0.7071,0.7071])) || 0.001; “

in order to keep it at the same size.

But i need something so that the appearance of the stroke will be the same, moving it back-forth on the depth axis in a 3d enviroment.

Any one got a good solution, keeping the appearance of strokes on shape layers the same while positioned on the Z-axis, in a 3d environment?

Found this discussion:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AfterEffects/comments/cgbwod/maintain_stroke_width_on_shape_layer_set_to_3d/

But preferably something that while solving without camera layers.

My man!😀

I will get bezier path on all my position keyframes and have to:
“right click – keyframe interpolation – linear” on every single keyframe.

Is there a way to turn it of in program settings, or on certain layers?

Thank you!

Another try with the imgs (but i think u got the problem).

Yes, thats what i do know. But its a hassle since i have to it all the time, with more than 10k pixles at a time 🙁

Img with the squares shows how it suppose to look.

This tread discuss it:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/ae-2020-can-t-drag-z-axis/td-p/11147939
But unfortunatly it does not work for me as they suggest.

Anyone got a solution?

Monterey 12.0.1 – Wacoom intuos – 4100WL with: latest drivers

Hi, anybody else facing issues working with the tablet and AE? My main thing is that once in a while (quiet often). The cursor freezes or locks on to e certain object and after that, deconnects (the wacoom software and the OS bluethooth device panel, although says it is still connected).

Thank you, that solved the problem!

I thought that setting where just for preview purposes. Is there any panel that can manage the entire project (so you can work in lower fidelity and that just switch one buttom. Instead of doing it in every comp before rendering)?

Attaching a img of the selector.

Yes, originaly but converted to shape layers.
Heres a picture of the scene, and the layer panel. “Layer 2 outlines” is the shape layers.

Yes, this is what i have done. But the problem is the resolution/saw-theeth edges i will have in the final render.
Can it perhaps, be something with the camera position/setting?

Well, the picture i posted is a printscreen of the rendered video (h.264). It will look the same in edit mode in AE (visualising the result quit accuratly)

Heres the result i will have when i just render a jpg-frame from AE. 😐

Hi, i will have this “lowres -saw teeth- look” on 3d things i am animating with extrusion depth?

Anybody knows the problem?

Thx! / Chris

Hi! I newly started with c4d 3d render inside ae.

When i extrude depth of text. The text will aleays appears convex (like i would have filmed it with a fisheye lense).

Not super much, but it annoys me.

 

Why is that? How to get rid of it?
