I recently purchased Video Co-Pilot's plugin for Adobe After Effects, Element 3D, but much to my amiss, it does not work. The first time I tried to open the scene setup, it said, "Element 3D has encountered an unrecoverable error." I closed After Effects, and opened it back in hopes of trying again. But this time, when I apply Element 3D to a solid, it tells me "After Effects has stopped working" and I am forced to close the program.Nothing has changed yet, every time I try to add Element 3D to a solid it crashes After Effects. I updated my graphics driver, re-installed Element 3D, everything I can think of, but to no avail.
i gotta problem wit 'Element 3D v1.6'window version. when im animated E3D and then trynna 'Ram preview' in that case.i gotta error message like below,'element has encountered an unrecoverable error' 'after effect warning: a frame failed to render while using render multiple frames simultaneously. allocating more memory to the background processes in Memory & Multiprocessing preferences may fix this problem.'
but im did it everythin in M&M preference and this error only Rampreviewing wit E3D, anything is cool. My issue is Few days ago Upgrade VGA card n Driver and Element3D v1.6 update.
I have a 3D Text using VideoCopilot's Element 3D effect on a 2D Solid Layer. With a camera, I can orbit it around in 3D space with other 3D layers. But when I pre-compose all of it and orbit the camera, the 3D Text doesn't move, only the other 3D layers. How can I move everything together? I've tried all of the combinations of Collapse Transformations/3D switches...
if it is possible to import PDF content and animate each element of it. For ex., animate the titles, some text, some images? Then, export into a swf. file? I am not sure if AfterEffect is the best way to do it? Flash, Illustrator, maybe?
Is there a reason that After Effects keeps crashing and only getting to a certain render point when pressing "0"? If I split projects into different compositions I don't tend to get the same issues, but it's more pain than it's worth spiting one video into 4 parts.
3D layers work fine but when I cast shadows from 3D layers after effects quickly crashes with an error ... After Effects Error:bad tracked memory ID (23:35).
I have tested very simple projects to determine if it was shadows creating the problem...simply two 3D layers with on casting shadows onto the other and this seems to be the culprit.
I have tried lowering the advanced composition settings for the shadow mapping down to their lowest settings as well to see if that is a solution but even at 250 the project will still crash. I've also tried ENABLING openGL just to see if my video card played nicer in openGL than not...again crash.
Basics of my system are
AMD PhenomII 3.2ghz quad 16 gig Gskill ram NvidiaGTX285 video card 700watt power supply gigabyte motherboard...if necessary I can give model number but it escapes me at the moment. Vista Home Premium 64bit
I am going to check video card drivers next...but they have been recently updated.
I cannot say if this is a new development as for some time with CS5 I was not working with 3D layers but now on recent projects this is occuring. I am also going to try the same project recreated in CS4 and see what happens.
I started it up this morning and received the following error message:
After Effects Alert Last log message was: <4431105056> <DynamicLink> <5> /Library/Application Support/ Adobe/Common/dynamiclink/CS5/ dynamiclinkmanager.app.
I've tried rebooting several times, repairing permissions, repairing permissions in safe mode, running AE in safe mode, but nothing seems to be fixing it.
My info: After Effects CS5 Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad-core Intel Xeon 8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Running OS 10.6.4
I d'l'd the CS5 MC and everything was fine up until yesterday. AE is now crashing at the splash page. The first message is: "After Effects warning: Unable to create font." After hitting "OK", I then get "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during startup." I uninstalled and reinstalled AE twice (using the trial and onlt reinstalling AE as everything else is fine) but am still getting the same message. I then tried the CS5 cleanup utility only to have it crash and had to force quit that. I am running an iMac intel dual core. 2.4 g w/ 3 gigs ram.
I am using native .mxf - MPEG-2 HD footage shot with a Canon XF300, and nearly every time I place it in the timeline or or viewer and scrub AE freezes and crashes. Non mxf footage doesn't cause AE to crash.I am running a newly built Windows 7 64bit system
Dual Xeon 2687's EVGA Classified SRX motherboard 96 GB RAM 3 SSD (operating system and applications on one, scratch and cache on others) GeForce GTX580 3GB internal 10K raptor drive (footage) External OWC 4TB Qx2 RAID 5 / 0 (switched configurations in an attempt to resolve issue) (footage) - connected eSATA / USB2.0
I have adjusted the preview resolution settings, the preferences, the location of scratch disks, changed the location and connectivity of media hard disk, I have attempted older drivers, and ive switched video cards - I previously was using Quadro4000. I have reinstalled the Adobe Suite, and just yesterday did a complete reinstallation of the OS. And that hasn't seemed to solved the issue.
In the Windows event log, the error reads: Faulting application path: C:Program FilesAdobeAfter Effects CS6Support FilesAfterFX.exe.Faulting module path: C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe After Effects CS6Support Filesmc_dec_mp2v.dll
I am new to .mxf and I have only been using this footage format for a few months, however the crashing issue did not occur until about a month ago. Im not using proxies I believe it was around the time when I applied the latest AE update. I cant say with confidence it was the update because I also was switching GPU drivers to resolve Premiere Pro crashing. Essentially AE worked when Premiere Pro didn't, and now visa versa.
It always catches and crashes before going into adaptive resolution. Are the hard drives not able to keep up? Footage runs fine in Premiere Pro Hardware seems to check out.
I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6 in after effects.
CS4 ran smoothly and fine.
However, when I start CS6 i get the typical loading screen, it then tells me that
GPUSniffer.exe has stopped working *I click close the program* Another window comes up After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: "<2076><GPUManager><2>Sniffer Result Code: 1
Then it closes everything. I read online this can happen with multiple moniters. My main screen is connected via SVGA to my graphics card, however my second (and smaller screen) is connected to the mobo and runs on VGA.
My graphics card is fully updated as is most of my other drivers.
I can take out the moniter and then AE boots fine, but I don't want to do this everytime just for AE.
My only solution to this is leaving the error message there and waiting for AE to load, or clicking close and having everything crash.
The last one wasnt so drastic, because it was only 1 file. I rendered the .mxf file as a quicktime in media encoder, and the problem was gone. But now I have another project that must be reworked, and it is a long edit with just .mxf files. the error is:
After effects error: Error (4) reading frame from file "D:PROJECT DATAunternehmen aus der regionfilmsOptikGeistRawCONTENTSVIDEO0055B.MXF".
The material is from a P2 card. Every time I move the time indicator in a sequence, it hangs for 30 seconds, and I get the error message again.
This is the second time I have reinstalled AI CS6 as last resort. It will freeze up Illustrator every time that I apply an effect like a drop-shadow, etc. 2011 MacBook Pro i7 on OS X Mountain LionCreative Cloud CS6Other tools work fineI have a couple plug-ins from Astute Graphics - however, I had the problems occur previous to the plug-ins.. I have tried restarting, using only AI and no other programs, etc.. When I reinstalled last time the probelm went away for about 4 weeks.
I've been trying to get my Steinberg (Yamaha) ur-28m external USB audio interface/soundcard to work with After Effects CS6 for a week now. The problem is that everytime I change the audio input in the AE preferences to the Steinberg asio drivers AE freezes for a few seconds and then crashes. Same thing happens in Premiere btw.
I've tried everything possible:
- updated Steinberg drivers to newest version - updated AE to latest version - trashed preferences - totally removed and installed master collection again - formatted hd and Reinstalled windows 7 and installed Master collection again. - tried all possibles buffer rates
Problem still there... I looked into the events log and it mentions ntdll.dll and makes afterfx.exe crash. Bottom line is I can't work with sound now, which is really frustrating. In other programs (non Adobe) these drivers are rock solid. Apparantly After effects (and in my case premiere also) doesn't like Steinberg. I saw this other thread about Steinberg in After Effects: [URL] Doesn't look like it's been solved.
I have read several other threads on this issue where the control overlays are missing when you go to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects. The "answer" from Adobe always seems to be, "updated your video card drivers."
I have a ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 560v for my Dell laptop running Windows 7 64bit. I have checked both through Dell and the ATI page and I have the latest drivers but Lighting Effects don't work properly. So now what?
I tried messing with the Preferences for Performance based on other posts. No luck. When I go to View>Extras>Show All I do then see the controls, however, the program freezes then crashes every time.
do I have to go back to CS4 to do all my lighting effects?
cleaned up the fonts and its still crashing by simply scrolling thru to find a file to open and to make matters worse, my CS2 which hardly ever crashed now crashes just opening it. I am rather beside myself, I have an iMac running 10.6.8 with 4GB of memory. I would love to copy and paste the crash report but it's not letting me do that.
It occurs to me often that I use the same element in different photoshop files, a header or footer shown in the example below. So when the footer changes in one document, I need to change this footer in every other single document.
Is there a possibility to use some kind of template, one single document, that can be placed in different files , which is still editable afterwards?
I have a very basic question, a lot of time when I'm searching photoshop art works on the web I see psd files that contains more then one element (for example a grid of icons where every icon is a separate layer or a group of layers)
But usually I need only one element... So how do I create a png from the one that I need? How can I isolate it from the rest of the elements?
I am used to searching for Elements by using their IDs, however in editing a door family I have been stumped by a dialogue, herewith:
The unusual thing with this is that this dialogue is always followed by another stating that 'No good view could be found', whatever view I try to look for them in! Having opened every view in the family and done a search I am wondering what next to do?
I simply want to import a piece of scanned line art from Photoshop 7 into a document in Freehand 9.
The line art, which is black lines, needs to be white inside of the boundary of those lines against the solid color background of the Freehand doc. For simplicity, lets say a ball, drawn with a black line, which is white inside, sitting on a blue background. (Yes, I know I can draw a ball in Freehand, it's just for the example.)
What I have tried:
In Photoshop, I select the white space around the ball with the Magic Wand then chose Select > Inverse to get the ball selected. Then I go, Layer > New > Layer via Copy, which creates a new layer with just the ball, white inside and no white background around it. I see the gray checkerboard pattern where the ball isn't.
But when I go to my Freehand doc and choose File > Import and bring in this Photoshop element it appears on the solid color background as a white rectangle (the PS canvas, I guess) with the ball in it. I don't want the stupid white rectangle, just the ball.
I've just made the dramatic leap from AutoCAD LT 2005 to AutoCAD LT 2013. By far and away the environment in 'Classic" mode is very familiar and there are some new features. However, one item really getting under my skin is the hatch feature. In LT 2005 one could pick the points to hatch, if the item is closed or not, by individual mouse click points similar to how you can still check an area now. Is this hatch feature still available and I just don't have the new program configured properly or will I be forced to draw each item I want to hatch as a 'closed' element?
I am exporting gbXML file from Revit Architecture 2013. And I am looking at the format of the name of the surface element. According to the Autodesk wikihelp, I understand that it is composed in a form as : orientation-space-(other space)-exposure-type-sequence number-(opening type)
It means if the surface is an interior wall surface, there will be two adjacent space names recored here. such as N-101-102-E-W-D-84
But I notice that in my gbXML file, I have some terms like : B-2-2-I-F-10, B-2-2-I-F-16, X-1-1-I-O-6, and X-1-1-I-O-15, I notice that when the orientation is "Bottom" or it is a type of "air", the space names will repeated twice.
I trying to make DOF outputing Mental Ray z-depth render element but I get a lot of defects around objects and between objects. I use AE and FrischLuft to comp the two images, and how to optimize the anti aliason to get rid of the ghost effect and the smearing (see image).
I cannot draw any elements from design pallet. Happens suddenly. Probably I accidentally switch something. In command line show command like:WallAdd and right away show another command line. Cannot add any doors or windows - same problem.
(Can't edit the element until 'A' resaves the element to central and relinquishes it and you Reload Latest.).this note come when i try to modify or erase any element in revit file and i want to know why does this proplem occur ? and how can i resolve this proplem becouse ineed this file.
Is there any way to select an entity by command prompt (without using mouse) so that it can be modified. Actually I need to do some modification to some entities using script and hence I need a way to access the drawing elements by command or kind of way without using mouse.
How to change an element from 1 image and switch it with another from the other image.
Also is it possible to change only a part of the element like the dots on the first left up border to put it on the not the black the other one? or change elements btw those 2 to mix and make a unique one?
how you could select only one element from within an AI document and be able to export just that element out. For example, I'm making a letterhead and I want to select just a logo element from my page and export just that to an eps so that it could be imported into something else.
Back when I was using Corel Draw I could simply select anything and as long as it was the only thing selected I could export it to a new eps file, or whatever kind of file I wanted. If I did it with an image, the image would be cropped to just the bounds of the image.
So far it seems the only way to do this in AI is to export the entire artboard. I'm sure this can't be because that would be ludicrous, right?
