Ein neuer Versuch mit After Effects CS4.
Eine bewegte Kameraeinstellung soll mit einem Raketenabschuss vebunden werden.
Dazu wird die Einstellung in Mocha getrackt.
Diese Bewegungsinformation wird dann auf einen Layer angewendet, in dem die Raketen mit Trapcode Particular erstellt werden.
Dann muss noch die Abschussstelle mit einer Maske vesteckt werden, da sie hinter dem sichtbaren Haus liegt.
Ein wenig Ton noch und fertig.

A really cool new feature in After Effects CS4 is the ability to now take advantage of Photoshop CS4’s new 3d capabilities. Another new feature of Photoshop CS4 is the ability to open .kmz or .3ds files. If we take a look at the extensive free models we have on Google’s 3d warehouse we find a ton of models to choose from. If you can find the model you want on the 3d warehouse as a kmz you are in luck. Open the kmz in Photoshop CS4 and save it as a psd. Import that psd into After Effects CS4 as a composition making sure to check the box that says “Live Photoshop 3D”. Now you have a new composition in After Effects with a 3D model as well as a null to control it and a camera to pan around it. If you can only find a skp of the model you want on the 3d warehouse, you will need Google Sketchup Pro to export that model out as a 3ds or kmz. Open the 3ds or kmz in photoshop save it as a psd, import that psd in After Effects and you are set.

Another Day, Another Post, Another Effect. But still After Effects & Mocha.

Here is another try at Mocha and After Effects.
Working on a building in Istanbul this is a dangerseeker in the truest sense.
And the lettering was done in After Effects after Tracking in Mocha.
The more the footage is shaking the harder the tracking is of course.

Und dann noch den Bildschirm des Fernsehers ausgetauscht.
Geht.

Adobe After Effects CS4 Fractal Noise effect

1. Select a layer in the Timeline panel, and choose Effect – Noise & Grain – Fractal Noise.
2. Set two keyframes for Evolution.
3. Adjust the time between keyframes and the number of Evolution revolutions until you are satisfied with the animation of the noise.
4. Select Cycle Evolution.
5. Set a value for Cycle.
The evolution completes the number of revolutions you specify for Cycle in the amount of time determined by the distance between Evolution keyframes. Determine the Cycle value by considering how much of this cycle you need to render before it repeats. Choose the shortest length appropriate for your project to save rendering time. Initially, the last frame of a cycle is identical to the first frame. To create a seamless loop, skip the last frame by setting the Out point of the layer one frame before the last frame of the cycle:
6. Move the current-time indicator to the time where the cycle completes. For example, if the Cycle is set to 2, locate the frame when the Evolution value is 2.
Note: If you set keyframes for other Fractal Noise controls, return them to their initial settings where the cycle begins to repeat in the timeline, or the controls don’t loop.
7. Move the current-time indicator back one frame.
8. Trim the Out point of the layer to this frame.
9. Pre-render this layer, and import the pre-rendered movie into your project.
10. Select the imported footage item in the Project panel, and choose File – Interpret Footage. Then set Loop to the number of loops required for the duration of the layer in the project.
