Hey all,

So the problem is now fixed.

When I originally look at the keyframe contextual menu, I only examined the temporal keyframes (“scale” does not offer the option of “temporal” or “spatial”). I went back looked at the “spatial” option under the “Motion” attribute and saw that Premiere had decided that I wanted a continuous bezier. When I…

Hey thanks Tim,

I almost got photoshop to work but the motion interpolation between frames was too rough.

An AE script ended being the right call.

Hi all,

I have a vexing issue that I’ve ignored or worked around ever since I moved over to Premiere.

I am trying to slowly tilt down an image followed that then jumps down very fast (2 or 3 frames) followed by a continued slow tilt down.

On the y-axis, travelling from 972 to 914 over 3 seconds, then 914 to 113 over 7 frames, then 113 to 62 over 3…

OK, Holy Cow, Walter. That’s insane. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow to try it out. And in literally less than a minute it made the 70 files into the comps I needed.

And after I ran the script I was gonna wait until tomorrow to look at the code but nope, had to have that immediate gratification.

The script looks so clean and I understand a lot of it.…

Hey Walter,

That’s great! Thank you! I’ll open this up tomorrow and see if I can’t waddle through it.

Cheers,

Octavio

Thanks Walter and I know you are right.

There is just something infuriatingly maddening that a task so simple requires a $50 plugin.

It’s almost a matter of pride at this point. Plus I am learning a lot of stuff in the process.

If I can’t make it work it’s good to know I can fall back on the script.

Swing and a miss.

Bridge DOES allow original file names to be saved in the XML raw data but neither AE nor Premiere nor PS have the ability to read “preserved file names”. Leastways I didn’t see it as an option

If the CC apps had the option to read “Preserved file names” in the XMP Metadata window I *think* that would have been a viable solution.

Ok, Imma do a test. 🙂

Oh, man, that’s slick.

Unfortunately, I need to retain the naming conventions as my producer is providing the pictures and using their file names to indicate where on the timeline they need to be dropped.

So I’m not sure there is a convenient way to create repeatable image names for AE while keeping track of the unique file names for me.

I wonder if…

I think that’s a smart way to go, or at least a good start.

I looked at the commercial scripting packages and it seems like what they offer is way more than I need.

I also tried using Photoshop and I actually was able to create an action that could batch render a folder full of images. Unfortunately, the interpolation between frames is in PS very…

Not sure which forum is more appropriate so apology in advance for the cross-post from the AfterEffects forum.

Hi all,

I have a super tedious workflow for one of my projects and I am hoping y’all can help me find a solution.

Using Premiere, I edit a weekly 1/2 hour talk show. 24 minutes of talking heads with still images used to illustrate the subject matter. We are up to 70 images per show.

My current workflow is that I have a nested sequence with two…
