Thank you Walter. That was helpful!
I didn’t know about the scroll option. It makes the whole thing a little easier.
Although it’s NO match for the previous versions.
The horizontal size of the scroll handle was an excellent and intuitive indicator to always let me know “where I am”.
And above all it was VERY FAST!In my opinion this was an extremely unnecessary new feature just to save 5 pixels vertical space.
EDIT:
I just checked and noticed they made the same change in PP
What were they thinking? Does anyone know what the purpose of changing this perfectly working feature was?
Maybe there’s something really great about it and I’m just missing it ; ) -

July 2, 2015 at 10:43 am in reply to: jerky output problem. related to framerate or camera settings?Thank you Dave. I was actually hoping for a suggestion similar to yours…
Unfortunately the result is still not usable. The judder is still clearly visible – except that everything is more blurry.
I tried many settings.Maybe there’s a workaround to fix this.
I need this AE clip for later use in a Premiere Project which needs to be 25fps. I tried to render the AE clip with 50 fps and the problem is barely noticable. But I’m afraid that if I render the 50fps file in my 25 fps premiere project that everything looks the same again.
So I gave it a quick try… It looks a bit different now I guess.
But before I spend all day with trial and error I hope someone can give me a suggestion what is best practice in this case.
Does “frame blend” help in a situation like this? -

April 24, 2015 at 5:15 pm in reply to: Premiere Speed % vs. After Effects Time Stretch FactorThanks for the suggestion James. Applying the speed change as Master Clip effect would work and is a solution to keep in mind for certain circumstances.
I think Walters solution is much simpler and faster in most cases.
It’s actually exactly what I was looking for.
So, thank you very much Walter. ; )One last question for Walter.
How do I need to change the calculation if I do it the other way?
Transfer from AE to PP? It’s probably superobvious, but math was always a weak point of mine. TIA ; ) -

April 23, 2015 at 8:34 pm in reply to: Premiere Speed % vs. After Effects Time Stretch FactorThanks James, that’s the workaround that I’ve used so far as described above.
This solution has a few downsides though, especially if the length of the clip has been trimmed.I’ve used this workaround for years but there’s got to be a real solution.

Thank you Alex!
Sounds like a great idea. -
Ok, I just found a solution. In case anyone ever got the same problem… here it is.
– save the project and note the names of all used sequences.
– open a new blank project
– inside the project browser window rightclick and select “import”
– select the project that you want to “clean”
– at the prompt select “import selected Sequences”
– after the list of sequences is done loading select only the ones you want.None of the unwanted/unneeded clips will be loaded. And you have a tidy and clean scene.
===========================
just in case someone asks – why not just delete the unused clips? where’s the problem?
In my case there were around 1500 clips in the project and only a small fragment were used in 3 sequences. It would have taken forever to clean it out by hand : )

March 23, 2015 at 7:13 pm in reply to: compositing footage on top of fabric – how to keep texture and wrinklessorry, my description war indeed quite vague!
While I was preparing the screenshot I already solved half of the problem. The displacement works now as intended. I accidentally used the wrong source layer before.
But I still got the problem with the blending. To keep it simple I just used two identical text layers the upper one has no blending mode applied. the one at the bottom uses “overlay” blending mode and has the displacement already applied.
The problem is that the colors are way too washed out.
I want to keep the original colors as close as possible to the original and at the same time I want to see the wrinkles (light and shadow) and the noise of the original image below.
I hope the description was better this time.If there’s still something unclear please let me know.

GREAT! That’s exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.
