I usually record the screen with layer controls on, but you can do this:

this will help you:

you can convert the ursa mini to color space that Ae can work with (like AWC Arri camera log, or acescct) and work with that in after effects.

thanks Chris for sharing the tutorial! I updated it:

you should set the right profile for the footage to view it correctly. see if this help you with color managing your footage. by default after effects is not color managing your footage so without the right profile it may appear “wrong”

UPDATED version of the tutorial :):

updated tutorial:

maybe this tutorial about color managing in After Effects will help:

after much struggle with this, I have made a tutorial about it. hope that will help:

Ryan – Thank you 🙂 that was it for me too.

I recently had to do that and found a workaround ever since premiere introduced scene detection.

1. import the master rendered file to premiere
2. activate scene detection under clip, check create subclips and hit analize
3. drag all the subclips into the timeline
4. add clip name and timecode effects with these settings
5. now you have a timecode +…

also this can work:
loopIn(“continue”)+loopOut(“continue”)-value

more like this:
loopIn(“continue”)+loopOut(“continue”)-value

Hello fellow cow members.

this is something that’s been happening for as long as I can remember. when changing speed in premiere clips, sometimes when moving to Ae (copy pasting or import premiere project) the clips are not in line. missing frames, mismatched syncing etc. attached image for example.

is there a way around it other than manually…

after discussing with Jacob for a while I figured out some things for the workflow and plan to create a tutorial about my particular struggle with this. thanks for the help Brendon, I appreciate it.

sorry I edited my reply. please read it again. the scopes seems to work fine now maybe it was a refresh issue. I will have to run some tests.

Thanks Brendon. I actually watched that tutorial before and even when it came out but couldn’t really make it work, but now it works. I still have some questions:

1. compositing sRGB/Rec709 footage/graphics: I see I should place OCIO plugin on each asset coming from sRGB/Rec709 sources. should I place generic->sRGB texture? I see it works fine on…

that would be great. I would prefer to bring my LOG to linear. but how do I revert it back to LOG?. how would you do it non-destructively? can you give an example of a basic setup?

@chriswright6 please let me know what you think of this post as a continuation of this topic. thanks 🙂

Log-Rec709 roundtrip in After Effects

I have been trying different workflows for a while, and have a few insights about this but would like to ask you folks How do you approach compositing LOG mixed with different sources of video with the intention of reverting to LOG composite at the end non-destructively?

simple setup: got a Log captured footage (Arri) and I want to composite on…

thanks Michael that’s a solid workaround! if anyone finds another please share

either export Tiff premultiplied or uncheck this option in the sequence settings

either export premultiplied tif or in premiere uncheck this option

Bear in mind, remove unused will not remove footage that is in one of the sequences. So if you want to remove all the footage but the ones who are in a selected sequence – it will not work, and I don’t see any other way but to copy paste the sequence to another project like the fellow suggested.

here’s a code courtesy of Stephen Dixon:
make sure you are using the JavaScript expression engine

let digits = 9; // number of digits

Math.round(Math.random(Math.pow(2, digits) -1)).toString(2).padStart(digits, “0”)

BTW the trim path + offsetpath method I showed is courtesy of Max Spreen and Paul Congiliaro from the Mograph Slack Group. Here’s another method by Stephen Dixon using all expressions. put this in the shape path parameter:

<pre data-stringify-type=”pre”>let theRadius = effect(“radius”)(“Slider”);
let startAngle = effect(“start”)(“Angle”);
let… Read more

several ways to do this, I prefer this option which I discovered recently.
add the trim path over the elipse, then add offset path set to half the ellipse size (not you would need to reduce the ellipse size to half to retain the original size), then add your fill or stroke. if you use a stroke make sure you set it to round join. like this:

what I…

thanks Robert, after I posted I saw that I needed another thing to reduce the edge that was left from the layer cutting into itself so I added simple choker:

using your method of channel combiner does give a more accurate edge, but I see I still get the the boundary (which is now bigger).

thanks for correcting the link. I am not aware of other tools, it’s not a personal necessity in my projects and I knew Ramma existed.

I would try this:

New Post-Production Tool Easily Detects Missing Frames

you can add a camera, create an orbit null and rotate the null. this will rotate the camera around the 3d object. you are not supposed to change any of the transform parameters of the c4d layer.

for matching the keyframes questions make sure the frame rate are the same in c4d and Ae

here’s a way to do this on the same layer

unfortunately I don’t see a way to resolve this. other than pre-compose. Ae’s render order limitation does not allow you to seperate operation in the way you want. rotating the layer even with an effect, will not affect the puppet motion path visibility. you could keep both windows open and manipulate the path in the layer window while looking how… Read more

sure, sorry about before I meant to write alt+double click and layer window not footage window ☺

[Albert Kowalski] “It’s related to both parenting and 3D. If it’s not 3D the parenting doesn’t mess it up. “

anytime you parent a layer with puppet pins, 3d or not, there will be an offset in the motion path overlay if the parent is not positioned on 0,0.

the workaround for this is to open the layer in the layer window. if it’s a comp, you… Read more

as Richard said you need a duplicated copy of all the hierarchy. you can do this manually or import the project to itself. if there are expressions relating certain things between comps this could get messy, a common tool to duplicate comps is true comp duplicator script.

you could create multiple keyframes: 1. for extruding the text 2. for advancing the text forward
this way it will look as the extrude is pushing forward instead of backwards

please explain if you see a problem/disadvantages in this workflow:
a footage layer, I want to slow down, it ends at some point so I don’t have enough of the container of the footage, I use time remapping to get more container of that layer (without doing anything to the TR keyframes) so I can manipulate what I need with twixtor directly on the… Read more

I don’t know a way to change the default step forward/backward, but you could use “go to time” Alt+Shift+j and type “+/- any number of frames”

Why would you need to precompose? Straightforward on the footage, I don’t know issues with it. Can you post the tutorial showing the precomp way?

if it’s just in mocha, and After effects is updated, I would contact the mocha team in borisfx website. they are very responsive. don’t forget to come back and tell us how it resolved if that works.
