Hey all - it looks like trying to link to this jsx means a lot of browsers are opening it like a webpage of text instead of knowing to save it as a file. I think you can right-click ‘save as’ but if it’s not working, you can paste all that text into notepad and saving with the extension .jsx - I’ll see if we can get it to download as a file or zip or somethin’ shortly.
@@ryansulak- are you able to option/alt/click on the original link in your browser to say ‘Save File As’ or ‘Save Target As’ ? Or perhaps save it as a txt, but then change the file extension in Finder? (I’m clearly not a Mac guy, but know it works well on Worley’s machine)
This is the coolest thing. Projection mapping was always something that kinda scared me off the few times I've done it because of how convoluted it is in AE. This plugin is an absolute life saver.
This should be an integrated function in After Effects. Is crazy how complicated it is to do camera projections using the "official" technique. Thanks a lot guys for creating this tool! Is part of my daily vfx workflow already.
Hey Hashi, we missed cheap tricks episodes... We watch you every friday on a live show that great but cheap trick episodes are so amazing. please keep creating side-by-side.
Is there a reason after I stamp it , it creates the file but the transform settings are not applied. I have to copy and paste them and then it looks correct.
What a nifty tool! Thanks for sharing My VFX workflow often involves working on ungraded footage that I later replace for finished renders. Unfortunately, this makes the 3D Plane Stamp less useful as it creates the PNG before the graded footage relink. I'm wondering if there's a modified approach in which this tool might instead precompose a freeze frame of the source footage that would be stretched appropriately to work the same way in the 3D camera tracked space - but allowing for source footage to be replaced afterward.
Awesome tool, really useful for VFX compositing. Now that After Effects has some new 3D capabilities, would be incredible to take this to the next level and finally have something like this but doing projections on 3D imported objects based on the camera position, like a real projector. That would be a very profitable plugin that any comper would pay for.
Thank you Hashi! At first, I thought this was about "3D-PreCompose" but I will try the masking feature. Anything to make Masking and/or Alpha Matte easier is always good. Thanks!
Great Video!!! I would like to know, is there a tutorial about recreating the same type of shot as the one at 0:36 ? I mean the one with the little girl walking on the edge of a skyscraper? I could'nt find something similar so far...thanks!!!!!
Once you get a decent camera track, you can put planes in 3D space of textures that you need. It helps a ton to have a clear line to add things in like the edge of the concrete here.
There is now! At 31 minutes into last week's episode, Hashi demonstrated the new features in v2: ua-cam.com/users/liveGbL6hxZCxSA?feature=shared&t=1873
If you are on a Mac - when you copy/paste the script into TextEdit, you need to go to your menu bar > Format > Make Plain Text. Then when you do File>Save, save it out as 3D_Plane_Stamp.jsx and MAKE SURE you uncheck the box that says "If no extension is provided use .txt"
There are a number of ways you could do that. Here's one: First, you need some breaking glass. Trapcode Particular comes with some broken glass presets. You could use the Shatter effect that's native to AE. Or you could grab some stock footage of breaking glass. Then, you would add some displacement (or chromatic displacement) to your footage using the glass to drive the displacement and then screen the glass back on top of it.
Thanks! This is great Hashi! However, the link doesn't take you to a .jsx file, but to the actual script, (code), posted on display. Perhaps explaining how to copy / paste and save it as a .jsx file to be use with AE for the less tech savvy?
The reason this is using a PNG is because AE lets scripts write them. Other formats (and bit depths) would require you to have a specifically formulated output module in place and this was the easiest to use solution. That's not to say there might not be another solution available, but this is what they've got so far.
Hi! Great tool (When its working) Sometimes the script doesn't seem to resize the created PNG image. At times it works perfectly, but occasionally, for no apparent reason, it stamps the picture without resizing it. Any ideas why?
Hey guys it seems so cool but please make a tutorial on the uses of this script,where we can learn more about this script please, like what we can do more with this script
Hashi demonstrated a few uses in this video - great for creating clean plates with a moving camera, building a 3d scene for integrating CG elements, or just for making quick motion graphics things. We may see some use of this on VFX and Chill, but we'll keep it in mind for future tutorials as well!
My guess is color depth or color space. Try converting to 8 or 16 bit and then running it - if you’re in 32. My next hurdle on this script would be figuring out how to make it deal with all color depths and spaces properly. Will do when I find the time!
I just added a ambient light that fixed it. I'm now having a problem after i stamp it , the transform controls are not copied. I have to do it manually.@@theActionMovieKid
We did it because PNG export is accessible without going through the render queue - I’m not currently knowledgeable enough to add it to the Render Queue (because if a script does it, it requires an output module to be written into it and added to AE to avoid issues on various machines). One day maybe!
@@theActionMovieKid I understand! make sense! And what about to just create precomp with the freeze frame inside. Like what the Mocha Import script does. So we can actually render that freeze frame if we need to, But it will work without rendering anything. With PNG it can't be use for any professional work, when I can't compress my client's files. usually I need to work the entire workflow with Open EXR on ACES color space. Even the content aware fill creates EXR when you want to export a reference frame.
I think the next addition will be a precomp rather than a still frame - and an checkbox to freeze the output or to leave it as video. I wanna keep the scope narrow- but useful as possible

Means a lot, thanks!
Glad you are back 😍😍
*_Means The Camera Projection Becomes like EASY AF??.... DAYYUM!!!_*
*_Please KEEP MAKING this VIDEOS please.....Love from India_* 🎉🎉
The greatest after effects series in UA-cam history!!!
I missed you dad, glad you are back with cheap tricks❤
Nate is cool, we watched a movie about trains once.
180 degrees of train action!
This is awesome, thank you! Great for clean plates and set extension!
I am happy to see cheap trick series after a long time ☺️.
yeyyy finally new cheap tricks episodes i really love it a lot

You need to tune into today's episode of VFX and Chill! They're going to be doing something kind of like that. ua-cam.com/video/0rGFFRqbT1E/v-deo.html

is there a way to change it from making it export a image to just create a prestablize comp ???

Holy moly, this is wonderful. I did a job from hell a few months ago that would've been WAY faster with this tool. Thanks guys!
Hopefully future projects will be easier now!
Yes cheap trick finally 💚
pre-stabilize comp based 3d camera tracker ?
Wow!!! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Can you show how to make glass shards? Like from a broken window?
There are a number of ways you could do that. Here's one:

Hi, Copy and paste the code to notepad then save as a .jsx file.
@pompey657 is right - just save that file as a .jsx and you're good to go!
Nice tool. Thanks for that. Is there any possibility to save out other formats than a png? Especially with a higher bit depth than 8bit.
The reason this is using a PNG is because AE lets scripts write them. Other formats (and bit depths) would require you to have a specifically formulated output module in place and this was the easiest to use solution.
That's not to say there might not be another solution available, but this is what they've got so far.
@@MaxonRedgiant Thanks for the reply
which graphics card you are using
Hi! Great tool (When its working) Sometimes the script doesn't seem to resize the created PNG image. At times it works perfectly, but occasionally, for no apparent reason, it stamps the picture without resizing it. Any ideas why?
Uh... apparently, the script seems to glitch with the magnification ratio. It was set at 25%, but when I changed it to 'fit,' it start working again.
@@lechumqc7910thanks for letting us know the solution.

The link is in the description.
Why would my freeze be darker than the original. Its at full resolution?

Does anyone know why i can make a solid with making " make a solid and camera"
We don't know offhand. Sounds like a question to ask in the Adobe forums.
This is great! but why PNG? It would be great to export EXR stills! please!
We did it because PNG export is accessible without going through the render queue - I’m not currently knowledgeable enough to add it to the Render Queue (because if a script does it, it requires an output module to be written into it and added to AE to avoid issues on various machines).

Simply copy and paste the code to a plain text editor like Notepad and then save as a .jsx file.
