Hey,
the square is from the Grain-FX – there is a checkbox, serch for it.
You only added grain INSIDE THE SQUARE!!

What else can you do? Try:
Curve
and/or
lowering the Satueration
and/or
Make a Solid, add or screen or multiply it… lower the opacity to 5% or so…

..there are endless things you can to, it all depends on that you want to tell and express…

looks good, leave it so!

Ok, so i found something that works:
(Thanks Dan! 😉 )

i found this code here on the froum:
(code below)

Pasted is to a TEMP LAYER (Null), pickwiped the property to the right layer. After that i pickwiped the the XYZ-Rotation from Element3D zu the XYZ-Rotation of the TEMP-Null.

“Pfiel – MOVER” is the Null with the animation and AutoOrientation on it.
“Rotation – TEMP” is a null that only gets the Orientation copied from the Pfeil-Mover.
“Pfeile” is the Element 3D Layer.

Works fine, but i think i can get rid of the TEMP-Null..

Thanks Dan

L = this_comp.layer("Layer 1");
s = L.scale/100;
u = L.to_world_vec([s[0],0,0]);
v = L.to_world_vec([0,s[1],0]);
w = L.to_world_vec([0,0,s[2]]);
sinb = clamp(w[0],-1,1);
b = Math.asin(sinb/this_comp.pixel_aspect);
cosb = Math.cos(b);
if (Math.abs(cosb) > .0005){
c = -Math.atan2(v[0],u[0]);
a = -Math.atan2(w[1],w[2]);
}else{
a = Math.atan2(u[1],v[1]);
c = 0;
}
[radians_to_degrees(a),radians_to_degrees(b),radians_to_degrees(c)]

Hey i just rememberd this : DVrebelToolsCS5
It´s very cool stuf from Stu Maschwitz!!

In the Package you will find : rd_Make_Thumbnail_Comp.jsx
(you need to make Markers, wereever the marker are, you get a image in a new comp!)
That is exactly what you want!!!!
And its free!!

Keep it up!

not shure if this helps, but….

take the sceen, make a new AE project (not a comp! a PROJECT!)
import sceen, make comp…. bla bla
now, go to the Prject window,
click on the “8-Bit”,
click on color space,
select “sRGB-blablabla”,
*here´s the magic*
make it a LINEAR COLORSPACE (checkmark),
aply CURVE or something,
take down the brightness… look what happens….

…maybe it works

export… import in working comp..

##
It´s hart to help you without any image… maybe the footage is way to bright, maybe you only have DV footage, maybe you already work in 16-bit…

anyways, i hope this is helpfull!
good luck 😉

hey,

try the SNAPSHOT-Button, you will not be able to see them side by side, but you can click the button next to it to see the differences..

Snapshot Button is in the Comp window,
next to the TimeCode,
if you press it once, you can hear a click sound,
move to the point in time you want to compare
the button to the right of the snapshot will show you the picture…

hope this helps
(english is not my first language… hehe, anyways, keep it up)

Hey,

try this:
Illustrator / select Shape or Path / Copy / AE / new Solid / make a mask on it (any mask will do it) / selct the Mask / Paste

Maybe you need to scale to the right size…

Hope this helps!

[Stefan Hinze]

hey,

make a copy from the image and make a matte from that…
maybe using KURVE or COLORAMA to boost the colors (greens)
😉

[Stefan Hinze]

hey there,

check if there is an option in the 3D program to give the PNG´s a ALPHA-Channel.
if the have, youre fine and it should be no problem 😉
if the PNG´s are without ALPHA-Channel, use a KEY-Effect.
play i little with them and you get there!

hope this helps

greetings

hey,
im not shure if i got this right, but…
just do the math –>

220 / 1,85 = 118.91891…. lets say 119px in a aspeckRatio of 1,85

so you nee to move the titles by 119px and your fine.
did this helped?
