Your settings seems ok, I am not sure with the Open GL.

Have you tried render without displaying render preview?

Caps-lock on before hit the render button.

Convert footage items between video formats

You can use After Effects to convert one type of video to another. When converting video, keep the following in mind:

■Changes in resolution may result in a loss of picture clarity, especially when up-converting from a standard-definition format to a high-definition format.

■Changes in frame rate may require the use of frame blending to smooth out the interpolated frames. For longer footage items, this can result in very long render times.

1.Import the footage you’re converting into a composition using the preset of the format you’re converting to. Example: if you’re converting NTSC to PAL, add your NTSC footage item to a composition with the appropriate PAL composition settings preset.

2.Select the layer with the footage to be converted and choose Layer > Transform > Fit To Comp Width (or Fit To Comp Height).
Note: For converting between two formats with the same frame aspect ratio, either of these two Fit commands will do the same thing; if the frame aspect ratios differ (e.g., going from 4:3 to 16:9), fitting to width or height will choose between cropping or letterboxing the resulting image.

3.Do one of the following:

■If there are no scene cuts in your footage, choose Layer > Frame Blending > Pixel Motion. This will provide the best results for interpolation of frames, but may require long rendering times.

■If there are scene cuts in your footage, or if you want to sacrifice quality for shorter rendering times, choose Layer > Frame Blending > Frame Mix.

4.Select Composition > Make Movie.

5.In the Render Queue panel, next to Render Settings, select the appropriate preset from the menu. For example, if you’re converting to DV footage, select DV Settings from the menu.

6.In the Render Queue panel, next to Output Module, select the appropriate output module preset from the menu, or select Custom to enter custom settings. For example, if you’re converting to DV PAL, select the D1/DV-PAL output module preset with the audio sampling rate that you require.

7.Click the name of the output module preset that you chose in step 6 to select additional Format Options.

8.Click the Render button to render your movie.

If you really want the sound from within AE instead of using amother software to clip the original soundtrack back in. In the render que set the output to Ram Preview and render it out.

lol.

I am NOT asking you to look at the 45 min clip NOR do I encourage you to do that. I simply ask you to scrub the clip to thoose two time periods and see if you could maybe see what I am doing wrong.

I also work for a living, 80 hours per week, I think we all do.

I have huge respect for you guys and the help you provide in here.

Michael, I tried both in the precomp and main. I can come around this by adding a solid in the main comp and mask it on the face with the reflection color and feather it, but I would like to find out how come I can’tdo it in the precomp as in the tutorial???

[Hamid Rohi-bilverdy]

Sorry Dan. It worked fine.

I got so tired and confused last night, that instead of putting the code on the opacity I set it in a wrong parameter!!!!

Again thanks for allways being helpfull 🙂

Ohh sorry.

Here is the link https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/futuristic_hud/

And if you scrub to about 09:30 min, this is the first time he precomp the main footage, the footage of the actor, and he opens up the precomp and makes a and adjustment layer to make the blueish kind of reflection look.

Scrub to 31:00 min. Here he makes the green reflection in the precomp again. And here I get the black areas where I added the green solid and masked it, just like the video?

Hi Dan

I get this “Function loopOut is undefined. Expression is disabled.” When I input the code in the source text..

can I get around this?

[Hamid Rohi-bilverdy]

Hi Adam.

Thanks for your reply.

How do I get this full-on liquid simulator like RealFlow? Is it a third party plugin?

[Hamid Rohi-bilverdy]

Hi Michael.

Thanks for post.

So I did AK bullet tutorial, and also I saw a couple of tutorials on displacement mapping to get to know the basics. And basicly I found out it uses a image/clip to distort another ( target layer ). It moves the pixelse around either vertically or horizontally.

But I ran my head nuts, cause when I get to the actually part where I distort the bullet trail as in AK tutorial, instead of displacing pixels around the trail, it moves my background vertically or horizontally?? I made a trail right behind the bullet and I want to displace that part only.

Can I make a copy of the bullet it self and make that displace to the background? And then set the displaced bullet a couple of frames behind the visible bullet??

I really want this to work, I spent many hours on this and also I find my self to have learned so much in the progress, really love AE, but I am really stuck here…

Hi

Thanks for reply. When you say this will leave “bars” on the left and right side? How come when I want the bars on the top and bottom, just like a widescreen movie.

I have not testet this yet, will do it later today.
