![]() ![]() "It is a good practice to stack the layers in your comp the same order you would stack things on a stage. It's just way too much work and you can't possibly see how it will edit together. I would never create a 10-minute marching across Europe sequence for a documentary in a single comp. More than 90% of my comps are under seven seconds. Ideally, AE comps should be limited to a single shot or a short sequence that you can't edit in any other way. ![]() You'll get the project done in less time and it will be thousands of times easier to make corrections and adjustments. I strongly suggest you break that comp up into shots and then edit the shots together later in an NLE. I would guess the one in question is at least 10 minutes long. It looks to me like your comps are very long. It is a good practice to stack the layers in your comp the same order you would stack things on a stage. I know you've explained how to re-compile your effects into separate dlls already, but.por favor?Īll in all, a good addition! My comments are merely suggestions, nothing more.Just got a chance to look at your screenshots and my first guess would have been that the shadow catcher was in exactly the same position as another layer and needed to be moved up a pixel or the layer order needed to be changed. I also wanted to re-iterate everyone else in saying that the submenus look a little weird.I don't have a constructive suggestion for what to do though. "Smart Blur" looks very similar to "Surface Blur".what is the difference?Ĩ. "Fade Edge" = Awesome! I've been wanting something like that for a while!ħ. The "Duotone" and "Monotone" effects just seem to make my image grayscale.I'm guessing there's more to these effects than I get at the moment.Ħ. This seems like something we could do ourselves pretty easily unless I'm missing something.Ĥ. I'm thinking in specific of "Darken", "Lighten", and "Negative". A few of the adjustments seem to be pointless. I'm a little confused as to how this is supposed to work.? I tried it on a straight photo.ģ. "Grayscale on Color Paper" just makes my image black. It was oh-so-useful, but I read your post earlier and now we're probably not going to be able to get it. But I guess I got my inspiration from Jan Tielens' SmartPart.įirst off, let me echo many of the sentiments here.thanks Kris! New things to play with!Ĭouple of things I wanted to mention though:ġ. If you're a developer, feel free to change the source code to move the effects around or remove the ones you don't like, just don't redistribute the modified source or binary.Īnd about the "smart" thingy: the base classes needed a name, and in a way, they are "smart" in the sense they do take away a lot of the programming complexity. At least this way the demo adjustments don't clutter your adjustments menu. Rick?Ībout the submenus: you do have a point and I did consider placing the effects "where they belong". I guess the lack of support by IndirectUI is the killer argument here. I did it that way for a number of reasons: it's in line with the built-in effects the colors window is more powerful than anything I can provide in the dialogs, IndirectUI doesn't support it and the dialog box for the drop shadow had become big enough already with the new widening radius. Īll colors in all effects are controlled by using the colors window before starting the effect/adjustment. Please note: Paint.NET version 5.0.9 or later is required. For recent changes, see. It will make no other modifications to your system. Just run the installer, it will ask you which effects you want to install and copy the required dll's into the Paint.NET effects folder. Make Color Transparent: Adjustment to make a given color transparent.Object Align: Aligns the object in the selection to the selection.Gridlines: Draws a grid with horizontal and vertical lines, under the Render menu.Gradient: A four-color, non-linear "Gradient" effect, with high quality color dithering, under the Render effect menu.Fade Edge: "Fade Edge" effect, under the Photo effect menu.Color Accent: "Color Accent" adjustment.Blurs: "Average Blur" and "Smart Blur" effects, under the Blurs effect menu.Monochromes: "Cyanotype", "Grayscale on Colored Paper", "Monochrome Ink on Paper" and "Monochrome Recolor" adjustments.Duotones: "Duotone Light", "Duotone Ink on Paper" and "Duotone Recolor" adjustments.With offset, widening, blur, and a color picker with transparency. Drop Shadow: The "Drop Shadow" effect, under the Object effect menu.Version 5.0.3: Significant performance improvements in the DropShadow effect. In version 5, two new adjustments have been added: Monochrome Recolor and Duotone Recolor.Īll adjustments and effects have significant performance improvements. ![]()
