every time I want to generate an animation on 130 layers, It takes a lot of time, and Extendscript toolkit opens, which says there is an error in the script,
Can Pastiche support 3D layers in AE ? I've tried using 3D layers, but I can't seem to get them to work. At the :30 mark on the video it looks like the movie poster composition is using z space to animate each poster into the frame, but I can't seem to get objects to zoom in while using the z axis... Can we use 3D controls ?
Yes, I see I can animate the layers in 3D after I apply my Pastiche. Thanks! Pastiche is awesome!! Trying to apply the z-axis to hundreds of layers is proving to be time consuming. Maybe in the future Pastiche can support 3D axis ? Do you happen to know of a script that will add a random z depth to many layers ?
In the "MOVIE" composition, I've applied Pastiche, selected all my layers, turned 3D on, added a position keyframe at t=50, went to t=0, moved all the layers on Z (so AE added a keyframe in position) and used the wonderful script RIFT to randomize the time of the layers.
RESOLVED: Converting the Vector to a PNG seemed to solve my issue. It still seems like the Vector should technically work just fine, but it wasn't working on our end.
We have a copy of this plugin at my work and I absolutley adore it.
Although when creating a project with a resolution of 8100 x 1080 with several hundred photos, I'm running into a similar issue as stated below.
Using render settings at full resolution, I'm populating a vector image with the photos. It works, but they populate out of the composition window, at about 200% the size of the vector image.
Any ideas as to why this may happen at this resolution, and if there is a workaround?
How does Pistache determine text layer boundaries? It seems to overlap all my text layers. I was also curious how the grid system works and if there are any plans on implementing a user definable grid (ie 10px, 100px, etc)
I have just downloaded the trial version of Pastiche, and just would like to ask if it really has the limitation of handling only 25 layers? Is there any other limitation too? (I was expecting some watermark or something like this)
The problem is that I cannot really try it out with only 25 layers, so I hope there will be no problem if I buy the plugin, but I would like to be as sure as possible. :-)
I'm wondering if this is a feature or a bug. I blurred slightly the source text. Under "Transform" I set the opacity to react to "From Alpha". I clicked "Create" and it worked fine. The instances near the edge of the source text were different levels of transparency. I then set the opacity to "Ignore" and clicked "Create" with the check box on for "Remove Existing Keys". The instances that were previously semi-transparent, were still semi-transparent.
Shouldn't the "Remove Existing Keys" also reset the opacity? As it is, the opacity level isn't keyframed, but is set as the original default value on the layer.
The work around by selecting all layers and resetting the opacity value to 100%, is an extra step. In my mind the "Remove Existing Keys" should also return the opacity value to 100%. As the various levels of opacity were originally generated by the plug-in.
"Remove Existing Keys" only removes keyframe. It does not reset the original value. You can also (re)set the value that you want by using for example "from alpha" and set min and max value to the one you want.
simple question. I noticed you had an info window on the right that told you how many unfilled spots you had on your letters, I don’t have that in my info window, how do I get that info, thanks.

That's the info window of After Effects (top menu / Window / Info)
Just bought today. Every-time I try to follow a tutorial it it crashes AE. My computer specs should be no problem. I'm just trying to do simple things like in the tutorial and it crashes.
What gives?
It seems to not like when I have over 100 layers, Also these layers are being brought over from AE with Overlord plugin I don't know if that has anything to do with it. It can handle simple things like 50 circles to text. But once I bring over say a bunch of different sizes of circles from Illlustrator by overlord in random positions it can't handle it.

Hi, I'm trying out something in one of your tutorial videos, and I keep on running into an issue. I have a grid of balls/cirlces that I want to change into a number. When I press "Create" the grid of balls suddenly changes into a completely new grid before the animation.

Just download it from the product page (click the Trial button).
Trial version of Pastiche is limited to 25 layers. This means that you can create a collage with 25 layers with the trial version. If you have more than 25 layers, Pastiche will ignore the other.
Just downloaded Pastiche 2 for After Effects v18.2.1 (2021). Trying to simply add a bunch of videos and just pull back from one video to reveal a full screen grid (or maybe floating a bit more randomly) of 80 or so other videos, etc. Every time I set up the move and start rendering, Ae crashes. Attached my computer specs, which should be more than ample to pull this off. Thoughts?

Hi I am making a simple animation with pastiche. every time i add my animation (numbers counting) and generate the pastiche it comes out enlarged and off to the bottom right. I have attached a screenshot. Im sure im doing something silly. Can you help.

Using after effects 2021 and pastiche 1.3
Thanks
Hi Matt,
Try setting the comp resolution to Full before executing Pastiche. This should fix your issue.
What kind of update?
messege.
You can also (re)set the value that you want by using for example "from alpha" and set min and max value to the one you want.
