I meant that “Video Timeline” has much more control for the type of animation you are looking for – like “Onion Skin”.

there is also “Video Timeline” in photoshop which is a different approach on animation in photoshop and different from “Frame Animation Timeline” which has more tools for making rotoscoping on video/cell animation easier like onion skin:

thank you Chris.
about rotoscoping – you really just need to trace a video frame by frame and by combining frame by frame scroll and layers panel with all the brushes – you really can do anything. from what I know – this is usually how it’s done. take a look here:

these were all done in photoshop and I believe that’s the same technique.

maybe this will be useful for you too:

what have you used before?

[Roei Tzoref]

you can do this by combining photoshop and after effects together.

1. import the video to photoshop (there are several ways to do this)
2. open the timeline and create a frame animation (yes…in Photoshop)
3. paint frame by frame and examine your video as you go through
4. export back to Ae the elements on alpha and make you finishing touches.

some of the aspects of this technique is explained in this tutorial

Text presets in after effects:

in the video there are tracking and position offsets of AE text, also some per character 3D position in Z space.
all of this is placed on a background with particles and flares.

I think that these layer shortcuts is all you’ve got:

how about working in lower FPS so the animation won’t have that many frames to go from on keyframe to another?
you can even combine different frame rates as long as each are in a different composition and you have checked in the composition settings->advanced the “preserve frame rate” checkbox

thank you Khashyar.

Thank you Khashyar Darvich, I just bought an z27x display and already have
an x-rite i1display pro device. the information you provided reassures me that
I could calibrate my monitor 🙂
if you have any new information about how you calibrated it eventually please share
thank you

interesting test. so rendering 2 files takes shorter amount of time…
but if you don’t need the lossless file, and you want to keep working in Ae with less of a memory hit
(like with opening two instances in AE) – you should go keep using AE->AME directly in my opinion.

there is also to consider that Ae->AME->Render+Encode has different behaviour than AE->Render
if that slows you down also than you should choose the first option – Render Lossless and then AME.

I try to explain in this tutorial the Ae->AME workflow and what to watch out for if you do
want to send you Ae composition to AME.
