Yes, repeating every other frame works the same way at 30fps as it does at 24fps. Animating on twos is done not because it looks better, but because it means less drawing and you can 'get away' with it. Nothing stops you from drawing every frame if you want the smoothest possible motion, and nothing prevents you from repeating a frame indefinitely when ...

What you need to do is to use a regular blur effect. You also have to apply the effect to an adjustment layer. I'll explain why later on. Why don't I just make a recipe for you to follow first, and then I'll explain what's going on! :) Make your text layer and fill it with text. Make an Adjustment Layer. (Layer -> New -> Adjustment Layer) Make ...

If the character runs in front and then behind the other character then either a depth map or a manually adjusted mask is going to be necessary. I'm unfortunately an After Effects guy, so I don't know how you would do that in Vegas. If nothing else, you might be able to creatively do it by putting one layer of the character running around on top and ...

Erase and redraw If you play the first video frame by frame (by pausing the video and pressing the left or right key) you see that moving objects are erased and redrawn again and again. The line properties (thickness, straightness) change a little bit between frames, hinting that the line is redrawn each time (best seen at 0:45). Camera motion About the ...

It appears like it is a combination of traditional hand animation or possibly Flash or Illustrator combined with After Effects for compositing and camera motion. The images appear to use a Draw On style followed by an animated wipe to remove them. This is then overlaid over the background and camera motion is added by panning and zooming the entire image.

The technique you're looking for is called 3D match moving, and AE is definitely capable of pulling this off for simple/short shots, but you'll need to use it in conjunction with a 3d package like blender, maya, max, c4d, etc. Basically, you use AE's Effect->Perspective->3d Camera Tracker to extract 3d information about your physical camera's spatial ...

You will need motion tracking at a minimum if the camera is moving during the shot and you want to composite a 3d animation. It will need to be able to do 3d motion tracking, which is the hardest to do. I believe that Mocha (which comes with recent versions of After Effects) can handle this passably enough for a simple project. I'm not entirely sure what ...

You could even shoot way higher res than 1920x1080 if you put the camera in stills mode and shoot timelapse, say 5fps, which is what I'd expect this playback speed it (6 times quicker than realtime, at 30fps, although you could easily playback at 24fps too)... Things to watch out for here would be lens distortion, ie a reasonably wide lens would produce ...

This is pretty funny, literally the first thing I ever did in After Effects...Was this I was able to achieve it pretty easily and if I remember correctly I did it after watching a few of the VideoCoPilot.net beginner tutorials from Andrew Kramer. And as you get more advanced do some of his harder tutorials, I found it probably to be the number one source ...

The video you showed is simply a stop motion video, not an animation. So you aren't going to be able to simply send a jpg off somewhere and have it come back as a video. There are plenty of video houses that will happily make you a video like this, but it is time consuming. Usually they video the entire process of drawing the art, then cut out frames - to ...

Make sure that resolutions match. Look at the properties of the source clip, make sure that all of the main parameters (height, width, pixel ratio, frame rate) match for your composition and your export. If it is having to interpolate pixels (as a result of non-divisible height or width or a difference in pixel aspect ratio) or interpolate frames (as a ...

I have tried the following steps with 4 layers, and it seemed to work. Name the file with the state 1 set, your-filename-1.ai and the file with the state 2 set your-filename-2.ai. Make sure they are in the same folder Open After Effects, click File -> Import -> File... and click your-filename-1.ai. Make sure the checkmark is checked as shown below: ...
