Oh my god. It works. How have I never realized that was possible before? It’s so obvious too. I guess the way I understood how track mattes work in the first place was wrong…. Well, better late than never, right?

Thanks Dave, you are seriously a life saver.

Can you upload a screenshot of your render settings in media encoder before you export?

[Katryna Sleptzoff]

Are you eporting via the export artboards option?

I came across an issue like this a bit ago too, was exporting my artboards and for some reason it added an extra line of pixels to some of them (so something 1920 x 1080 was 1921 x 1081). Turns out it was the artboards position within the workspace. Go to the artboard tool and look at the x & y position at the top– it should be a solid number with no decimals. If it has a decimal, get rid of it. When I exported next time after doing this, the issue was solved. Hope this helps.

any missing panels can be found in the “window” menu tab at the top of the program. Worse comes to worse, select the tab to the left of the search option on the upper right and click “essentials”

Hope this helps

Can you post a screenshot of the document youre talking about?

Did you ever find the solution? My suggestion would be to render without motion blur on and see if that helps too

[Steve Sierra] “Hi,

I’m not sure this is a good idea, but you could preComp your intro and outro animations as well as your non animated version.
That way, you end up with three layers and can play on the opacity to show/hide the animations ?

Cheers !”

That is a good idea– I was thinking at first I could precomp it too, but wasn’t sure how I would have it turn on/off for those specific times still,… But with your solution, I can link the opacity of the beginning/in precomp layer and end/out precomp layer to an on/off checkbox.. I’ll paste that here in case anyone in the future stumbles upon this thread, it’s super easy but also I’ll dumb it down for people like me who aren’t familiar haha. You just add a checkbox control to your layer (or any layer you want to have the control on, doesn’t matter), then open up the opacity expression box, and write ” if( ” (no quotes or spaces), then, pickwhip it to the checkbox control– it will automatically put some info in there, and then write ” ==0) 0 else 100; ”

Expression should look similar to below in the end. (The “effect(“Checkbox Control”)(“Checkbox”)” might be different depending on where you pickwhipped it to.

By the way, Dan, thank you for all the resources you’ve written over the years about expressions– I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it all, but your website has been super helpful. I’ve found that even though the essential graphics panel is seemingly very limited at first, I’ve learned that expressions help immensely when I want to give controls to editors, so I’ve been learning slowly. I really appreciate your site for dumbing the basics of it down too haha, it’s been an invaluable resource for me. Thank you.

if(effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")==0) 0 else 100;

What do you mean? Like specifically which properties I’m keyframing for the in/out animations? It varies– I would be doing this for the gfx packages of a couple different brands. Here is an example of one of them- https://www.msn.com/en-us/video/watch/this-country-is-crazy-about-mandatory-exercise-during-the-workday/vp-BBJKMNo

Would it have to be customized to each indiv property? Ideally I would have one expression I could apply across the board to any templated element.. they want the option for everything– text boxes, bug, titles etc. Totally fine if thats just wishful thinking though. Editors are used to working in FCPX which is why they want it– I know you can cut it manually in premiere but they put out so many stories a day that an option like that helps cut down on time they spend editing. Just to be clear, It’s all exported as a .mogrt file, which is why I want to link it to a checkbox.

Hmm, interesting problem. I am not the MOST experienced with this issue, but I do know there is a photoshop plugin for camera raw files. You might want to check to make sure that is updated as well. Here is the adobe support page on it with way more information; https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/troubleshoot-camera-raw-photoshop-photoshop.html

After looking around a bit more, I saw you were not the first one to have this problem. Here’s a support page on adobe I found for the mark IV, which I know isn’t your exact model, but still might be helpful? https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/editing-canon-dual-pixel-raw-cr2.html

I’m also finding a lot of things about your camera model not being able to open raw files from your camera model in CS3…which I know is not your problem, but, it’s interesting that there has been issues with your camera model in photoshop before. If you have lightroom I would try importing it there as well and seeing if it works.

I hope this helps… Like I said I’m not the biggest expert on this but hopefully I was able to shed a bit of light on what the problem may be, or at least give you things to rule out if those aren’t the issues

Create the text you want in photoshop, make sure it is the correct font/size and says what you want it to say. Then right click the layer and select rasterize type. Then, while layer is still selected, go to Edit>Transform>Warp. You should then see a grid overlaying your text, and you can take the bottom two corners and move it down to get the effect you want (or play with it in general to get it just right). If for whatever reason the grid isn’t showing up you either need to make sure the little arch button is on (it is to the left of the cancel transition/apply transition buttons, and when you hover over it, it should say “switch between free transform and warp modes”, OR you forgot to rasterize the type.

Hope this helps!
