AE CS5 is saying a file path is too long when I do a collect file.The image sequence in question is only 7 directories deep -- which doesn't seem too buried considering how AE wants to structure collected files: /Volumes/HardDrive/ProjectName/CollectFileFolder/(Footage)/CompName/Pr ecompName/results/3Dimage_multipass0000.tif
Is it number of directories deep or overall number of characters in the entire path that's the issue?
I use "Collect Files" all the time. I collaborate with other people and this function is obviously vital.I'm currently having an issue with it collecting comps that are not selected. I choose "For Selected Comps" and I check off "Reduce Project." The new file has the comp I want, but also others. And if I try another comp, it will collect the same additional ones each time. And In the generated report, it is listing the comps I don't want as collected.
It seems to be specific though, collecting comps that are from other .aep files that I've imported. And only comps from .aep files that where generated with Collect Files. In other words, basically anything I've round-tripped using Collect Files and imported after a collaborator has finished their work.
I'm using AE 12.0.0.404 and I'm on OSX 10.8.4.
I was wondering if there was an option to set Inventor to display the full file path for the current file open ? At present I am only seeing a short description of the name of the active file - I wish to see it's full file path similar to what AutoCAD displays.

Is it possible in Lightroom to automatically append/prepend directory names in the file path into the file name itself? Example:
DirectoryA Sub-directoryB filename.jpg (original file name)
==>
DirectoryA Sub-directoryB DirectoryA_Sub-directoryB_filename.jpg (concatenated new file name)
If this is not natively possible within Lightroom, any plug-in that delivers this functionality?
I have a file path im trying to capture in a text file however its not working and autocad is prompting back,
; error bad argument type: streamp nil
Im assuming its because of the slashbacks but Im not sure..
Hence the code so far...
(defun C:GO ()(SETQ ACADLSP (findfile "acad.lsp"))(setq f (open "C: est.txt" "w"))(write-line ACADLSP f)(close f))
I'm new to scripting What I want to do and don't know how to go about it is to run a script that collects the saved file name and the full path where the file is saved on the network and displays it on my document.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter finally getting X6 to be stable and usable I have two things I'd like to mention..
First, I've been using a 3rd party file manager called Ztree for years and one of its most wonderful capabilities is to copy paths to the clipboard which alleviates opening/saving frustrations with the typical Windoze Explorer dialogs. Anyway, one of the first problems I noticed with X6 is that Paste no longer works in the Open Drawing dialog, while it worked just fine in X5 and as far as I can remember, all previous versions. I sure would like to get that back.
My second complaint is the File/Export routine and specifically the presets. I do a lot of exporting to PNG and JPG and use multiple presets for fixed size/print resolution image output in both file formats. During the typical export session, I essentially export multiple different drawings all of which are exactly the same size/resolution in CD and in the past (X4 and prior as I recall,) was able to just hit <Enter> when the Export dialog appeared once the preset was set to the one I needed for that session.
In X6 though (and to some degree in X5,) even though the correct preset is listed, CD doesn't appear to recognize it, i.e., the math for the size/dpi conversion doesn't take place which forces me to waste time selecting "Original" or some other preset first, waiting for CD to render the new version, and THEN selecting the conversion preset that was pre-selected when I first opened the export dialog.
I added a FILE PATH label on my titleblock but when I load it to my project file it does not show. Why it does not show, I added a new lable for CLIENT NAME it showed fine. Just to test it out I changed the lable of the second one to FILE PATH and the first one that I did to CLIENT NAME. When I loaded it to my project, the second label dissappeared and the first lable now shows.

I have gone through the proper procedure through the Plotter Manager all the way to Select Custom Paper Sizes but the Add button is grayed out and I can't add a new user size. I was able to do this with AutoCAD 2004 on a Windows XP system but can't on this setup.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHave open a old max scene. And it take a very long time to save. That can have multiple reasons. Found a new (for me):
My old scene has a "render output" path to a no longer exists netzwork drive. This slow down max on save. Don't know why max access the output path on save ;( Slow down is also the Assert Tracking dialogue and "Render Output/Files..." Dialogue... Maybe max always tries to access the not existing network drive, every time ;(
What is the most safest file format for storing image data? I am thinking in terms of drive failure. Suppose you have a precious picture and you do not want it to be corrupted by a single bit failure by the drive.My undestanding is saving an image in a compressed format is most insecure because failure of a few bits can lead to gross decompression problems. My other understanding is that RAW formats that store the individual pixels are the safest. Consider 2 situations:
1. The RAW file header becomes corrupted. You can still recover data by interpolating and "guesstimating" from the existing data.
2. Actual image data becomes corrupted in a certain region of the file. You can interpolate around the lost areas to recover the image.
There are no tools that I know of that are designed to specifically accomplish 1 and 2. Honestly, if I had a precious picture, I would save it in RAW format in 2 or 3 different physical drives. Also, are there tools to recover data from corrupted photoshop psb/psd files?
So since we installed CorelDraw x6 the one file we have been working on is a long text file and it slowes every thing down drasticly.We did think updating would work so we did that and it still lags.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a vaulted project with about 1000 parts in it and a subfolder within that that has about 250 parts in it.I am told that vault does not manage references outside the project scope as defined by the IPJ which in theis case is at that 1000 part folder level.
If I go to rename the folder with 250 parts in it, it takes up to a half hour. I am having trouble believing that vault can't do better than a half hour to manage the references of a subfolder of a project with 1000 parts in it, when only 250 parts are affected.
Also, I notice a secondary ipj file is created temporarily during the renaming. That ipj appears under an inventor folder under my docs. Can't see why it takes two ipj files to manage one project. Also don't understand why there should be a local ipj file active when I am renaming at the vault level. I am suspicious that this other ipj (named after my company name, indicating a purposeful act) is expanding the scope of reference management since its parent resides at the root Vault explorer ($) separate of the projecy ipj. Also takes way too long to rename individual files.
I have created keyframes from audio file and used them to generate some effect, all works fine, it is amazing how easy it is However, I would like to generate flash (?) so that these effects would be dynamic to different audio files after export.
What I want is basically to create effects that can be used in life event to the streaming music.
There's probably a simple explanation, but if I have a file open for a long time in Photoshop the blacks will start to appear oversaturated/blocked up. If I close and reopen file it looks normal again.
I am using OS X Lion, Photoshop 5, Apple 30" Cinema display. My monitor is calibrated with a i1 Display by X-Rite and resets according to amibent light.
I am trying to make about a 7 second clip of some photography (converted into that cool 3D paralax effect) with a lens flare and a CC light rays effect. The damn thing took two hours and was less than halfway done, which seemed extremely long to me. Here is my setup:
i7 4770 (2 processes for system, and 6 for AE, with 2 gigs per process)
Nvidia 760 4bg
32 gigs ram (4 set aside for system and the rest for Creative Cloud stuff)
SSD: system, media cache
HDD: projects, files
Everything else I've tried to render has been reasonable times. For instance 5 minute clips usually take about 15 minutes. I've tried variations of the multiprocessing tab to no avail, and changing the media cache to HDD which didn't work also. Just seems like something is going terrible wrong.
So I guess my question is twofold.
1) How important would it be to get another drive? (I'm between adding one SSD or getting 2 HDD's per my budget, which presents another question of would a 2 SSD, 1 HDD setup be better than a 1 SSD, 3 HDD setup)
2) Do I possibly have something configured wrong?
the batch conversion tool can't handle long file names as generated by the Windows Live Photo Gallery import tool. I was shocked (dismayed?) to see that my brand new X5 doesn't import DV as nicely as this free MS tool (as an aside). Here is an example filename: "Tape05 2001-01-02 14.05.33.avi". It stumbles on the first '.' it finds. Luckily it does not overwrite files that end up having the same name because of this truncation but still. Come on now. Path manipulation is junior engineer programming 101.
The batch convert also does not remember the target directory last used. At least default it to the source directory, right?Unlikely to be fixed, I know, but maybe it'll go on the list for X6.
I've just started to use AE again (CC version) and I'm trying to make a simple 3D text animation and it seems like it's taking an excessively long time to render. I have a 4 year old MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB) and it's taking several hours to render and export a 5-second clip through Media Encoder. The animation is just text on a black background. I'm using the ME YouTube 480P preset. The original file is 1920x1080 because I am going to have to chroma key it over some existing 1080p video. I did a little 3D work years ago and this seems like an awfully long time for such a short, simple animation. Is there some simple, common mistake I'm probably making? Should I scale the comp down to 480p?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave issues with creating an AutoCAD deployment and "The path of the added item is too long" error message?
I understand that the paths are limited to 255 characters but I tried just a local path and I get the same error.
Under Additional Files in deployment options, I want to add 2 folders under <Installation Directory> and add 2 files under Support folder.
1st folder would be ARG folder for a custom profile xxx.arg file
2nd folder would be Template with a custom template xxx.dwt file
Under Support, I want to browse and add two files: custom accaddoc.lsp and enterprise acad.cuix file.
All of those files reside on a share drive but the paths are about 40 char so I'm way below the limit.
Every time I want to add a folder under <Installation Directory> I receive the error message:
The path of the added item is too long: "Create New Folder" Please limit this path to -28 characters (currently 17).
So I copied all thos files locally but the same error show up. Is this a bug? I can't customize my deployment if those files are not available.
I am trying to hatch a long curved path that is composed of polylines and splines that I manually joined together by pedit. When I try to hatch it, I get an error message that says the area is not closed and thus cannot be hatched, but I have no clue where the problem area is. Is there a way to figure out what parts aren't lining up/closed correctly? When I select the object, it shows that all the lines are connected, so I don't really know how to fix this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Windows Vista, CS4. I seem to remember that I could save paths inside of a Jpg file using previous versions of CS. I use the "Save As" command and save as a Jpg format but when I re-open the file the path is not there. Also, files previously saved as Jpeg's in older CS versions that I know had paths do not show those paths when opened in CS4. Is this some setting or something? I did change several settings, it now opens all files in Camera Raw directly. I by-passed that by holding down the shift key when opening a Jpeg but the paths are still not there. I also have an action running when I open that duplicates the layer, could that be it?
