You wont get it all in one suite. Since you say you want plugins…

1. Magic Bullet Colorista . Or Color Finesse which is very nice and free in AE. Also Baselight from Film Light, though Ive never used it.

2. Nothing per see. Twitch to shake things. Video Copliot Action Essentials for spectacular stock footage for explosions, fire, debris.

3. Speed ramps and such can be done in AE using standard functions.

4. Trapcode Particular can give you 3 dimensional particle explosions that are quite cool as well.

5. There is software called Tsunami, but its more for ocean / water creation the killer waves.

Of course there are options for color correction that are quite advanced, but they arent plugins

Good luck!

I figured it out. The tutorial footage that I review at least once a year to refresh my familiarity with the software was the culprit.

All of a sudden Foundry Camera Tracker doesnt like that tutorial footage. It hangs on the Solve process. I went thru and tired a gamut of other formats and codecs and it ran just fine.

Mystery solved. And Foundry informed.

[Dave Fleming] ”
What I did was simply right-click a clip, and chose Replace with After Effects Composition. I already have a project open in AE, so it opens in that project. Then, I re-name the linked clip to something that makes sense and proceed with my compositing. I do a RAM preview (0 key) in AE when I’m done and save my work. I don’t export/import anything. When I go back into PPro, the linked comp appears with a red bar and won’t playback without stuttering. Frankly, I thought I had seen in the road show demo that the files were just being RAM previewed in AE and then played back in PPro without any rendering. I re-name the linked comp to the same name I had given it in AE and then render the file in PPro so I can playback cleanly.

Well, if that inconvenience weren’t bad enough, when I close both programs and relaunch PPro only, the files once again appear with a red bar and need to be rendered. I can’t understand why PPro doesn’t remember the previously rendered file.”

When I already have a project open in AE, and I am in PP selecting a new clip (Replace with AE Comp), it sends me to AE and opens a NEW project for me.Right there we have a different experience.

I then rename the new project with a name that makes sense and save it.After doing work in the comp I save it again. Then I return to PP. I ALWAYS render the AE project in PrP.Thats standard operating procedure. At this point I dont do any RENAMING of anything like you do. I think that’s where your render files issue might be caused.When I close both apps and reopen then at a later time, all rendered AE DL are found. I hope this helps in some way. 😀

No John. The footage of the green screen and the virtual set was downloaded from a wonderful site called Hollywood Camera Work. It has amazing DVDs on directorial staging, blocking and visualization techniques. As well as effects work.

The content of the course reminds me of the great directing and camera work in such shows as Law and Order and Mash.

Thanks for the critique Vishesh, but this was just an exercise of using the Camera Tracker in conjunction with Element to see how they performed together.

I will let you know when its a project that deserves feedback 😀

Very nice. To my eye he seems just a bit to large when compared to the set. I would reduce his size just a bit.And since his key light seems to be on the left of the image, if you are generating his shadow, I would angle that toward the right.

That is not good. I have used CS6 extensively with DL and haven’t bumped into this behavior.

Please report this here.

And if you get no answers at this forum, Call Adobe Support and ask to escalate to Vinay, who is a great trouble shooter.
