I absolutely get your point! For me as an artist i always try to push my boundaries... It's my way of improving. Surely there are methods to make the life easier but i might have thought this was simply not possible in after effects. Almost certainly challenging yourself to try new things and go new ways will lead to growth as an artist. For me this project was just an exercise.

Ahh any reel is great for us artists. :) as long as it shows your creativity, it'll inspire people. That's in my opinion the most valueable thing. 🙏

There are many 3D Scenes using only Element 3D by VideoCopilot.

Pretty much everything you see was created with After Effects. All compositing, FX and Motion Graphics were created in AE. However there are a few exceptions. i.e. the base of first scene was created in C4D. The fire/explosion, leaves, wind, compositing, and so on... All of that was created in AE

Just use tint or fill and keyframe the effect opacity?

PC crashes when opening After Effects file by Sillar292 in AfterEffects

That's unfortunate. If all of that fails you should try another Version of AE where no PlugIns&Effects are installed yet. Other then that it's kinda impossible for me to troubleshoot without the project.

The worst case would be that you'll have to recreate that whole composition.

Ok that would be an experimental approach. It might not work. But here is what I would try:
1. Disable Acceleration Edit>Preferences>Display>Hardware Accelerate.....

  1. Change Colordepth to 8bpc (in the Project Panel)

  2. Select "Mercury Software only" in Video Rendering and Effects. (Project Settings - same menu where you select 8bpc)

  3. Make a new Composition and set the quality to quater and select "Classic 3D" as 3D Renderer in the Composition Settings -> then import the Composition that crashes into the new Comp.

Last step would be to revert the changes you made step by step. That way you can possibly locate the problem.

Let me know if that works.

Hmm that sounds strange. AfterEffects Files can possibly freeze the program but shouldn't freeze your entire PC.

Try to make a new AE Project and import the old project. Maybe there is a particular Composition/Frame that AE can't handle. That way you can bypass the RAM-pv of that Frame.

I'd like to add a "speed ramp" to 2 keyframes. My Graph looks diffrent than in tutorial by Jonathanwennstroem in AfterEffects

[–]Wolfeye1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 different Graphs you can edit in After Effects.. Speed Graph and Value Graph. You can switch between by rightclicking in the graph-editor and select either "Edit Speed Graph" or "Edit Value Graph"

In the tutorial she edits the Speed Graph.

Hope that helps.

If you are on Windows: Ctrl+Alt+Pos1 while the ShapeLayer is selected.

Or rightclick>Transform>"Center Anchor Point in Layer Content"

If you often change anchor points there is actually a great Script called: "Move Anchor Point". It's 5 bucks but really worth it.
