is there a way for the change to be more smooth? and not on a “hold” base interpolation?

I am trying to do this step expression on a x position of a layer.

Hey!

I tried imitating your pipeline, but I can’t seems to achieve the results I desire. actually it seems that the High-Pass is just making everything worse…. wrinkles are getting deeper and the over all Sharpness is getting to be very high.

1. why did you add the levels?

2. are you pre coming the two frequencies and then put it on top of the original layer? if so, what blending mode are you using?

thanks!

Happened to me again this time I just disabled a third plugin I had (Sapphire Rack-defocus).
and it worked…

if anybody reading this still, might be helpful. 🙂

same problem for me.

it seems to got to do with certain projects. some works other don’t.

no solution here..

tried to put an expression on the pre comp and got this message:

maybe thats clearing up my Q’s above… does it?

[Ido Shor]

can that be because you are trying to project a pre comp image?

I had a similar yet not identical problem, and posted it in this Post:

have you tried projecting an image in this settings which is not pre-comped?

just a guess here, might be the problem.. (but not the solution unfortunately).

actually I think a lot of people around here will be happy to see out it turns out. I know I would…

maybe post the results here when you finish it!

tnks!

Hey, I think best (always) post an image with your Q since we are all very good Visual people… letters are not among our best senses… 🙂

but before seeing anything, you might try the CC simple wire removal tool that comes with AE. if you spread it enough you at least make it a little more subtle.

might need to use a few Wire removals, maybe for each digit?

good luck anyhow.

thanks for the script! how does it work? does it do all the needed duplication and linking automatically?

about the projection. I used a light and a image which light passes through it and projected on another surface which is rotated and positioned according to the camera angle in the image. pretty standard staff I guess.

Didn’t get any answer still, but in the meantime I build a simple work around. maybe if anyone got stack like me it could help:

instead of using the Collapse Transformation feature I added the bkg as a 2D layer. (not pressing the 3D enable button), and just linked the Camera Position and Point of Interest of the camera to the camera in the General comp. that way at least I need to worry about one camera while the other will automatically be updated in the pre comp as well.

hopefully this is a temporal solution.

have a good one in the meantime.
Ido.
