I have an iMac computer with Norwegian Keyboard.
I cannot get the left and right bracket to work - so maybe it is some other keyboard command I have to do to make it work?
I can use the left and right bracket keys to increase and decrease the size of my brush... But this just does not seem to work!
I'm using Mac OS X 10.4, and I'm hitting Option-5 and Option-6 (what is the key combination of [ and ]), but nothing happens...
I use an English version of After effect ( I prefer) and I have a french keyboard. I can say it works great all the time but I still can't use the [ ] bracket. In the french Keyboard it is Alt+shift+( ( Left parenthesese is on the 5 key ). When I type Alt+shift+[ on After It happen nothing??
If I swith to american language Alt+[ it works fine.
I have encounter a huge problem with the exporting (rendering out) all contents of the Composition in After Effects CC.My workflow outline:
1) Created a Composition of 1920x1080 size.
2) Created a Solid Layer of 3840x2160 size.
4) Animated Scale and Position of the Solid Layer over duration of the Composition.
3) Created a Shape layer containing the Shape 1 using the Pen Tool. The Shape 1 is just an unclosed path from point A to point B
with the Stroke of 20 px width and no Fill applied.
4) Made my Solid Layer as the Parent of the Shape Layer.
5) Added a Trim Paths to my Shape 1 in the Shape Layer (containing Stroke 1) and animated End over the Composition duration.I have also animated the Stroke Width from 20 to 30 px.
The Composition is playing back perfectly in Composition window inside After Effects CC:Animated Line is going from point A to B while the Solid Layer changing position and scale all right!
6) Rendered the Composition out (using Render Que as well as Media Encorder CC) into a movie file.
When I play the resulting file I cannot see my animated Shape 1 Stroke (Trim Paths) in the Exported (Rendered out) Movie file: no Animated Line is present while the Solid Layer changing position and scale.However I can see the Solid Layer animation (Scale and Position) in the Movie file.
Why the animation can be seen in the Composition playback inside the AE CC but I cannot export it?
why trim wouldn't work in cs5? It works if the background is white, but anything else and it doesn't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got an animation pretty much done as far as timing goes and everything. Now I'm going back and editing some things that require adding a few layers to add some things to the current layer that already is trimmed appropriately to the correct time.
Any script or something that will create a composition from a layer using the length of the layer's in and out point instead of the whole comp time?
Right now I'm opening the precomp, hitting "i" "b" "o" "n", then right clicking on the comp range bar, choosing trim to comp time. Then I go back to the main comp, move the time back to where the layer previously started and hitting "["
So it all goes by pretty quick, but I consistently have to do that like 20 times. And no, it isn't completely necessary, but if I have to give the file to someone else it makes it Much easier to see what's going on if they can see the actual length of a layer. If you leave it at default it appears the layer is needed for the entire composition.
So, is there a way to script that or something? I usually just need to do something like add some text, simulate a graphic display, or create some fake animated depth of field or something like that. I don't like to add more than one layer per action in the main comp, so if more is needed then i usually precompose it as to not have more than a hundred layers or so for the bulk of the comp.
This problem has cropped up in the last few months. It only happens intermittently.
Typically I select Trim, or Extend command, right click to select All rather than a specific object, then selcet the objects to be trimmed or extended.
Sometimes though, the All command is not activated and I have to select the object to be trimmed or extended to, then select the objects to trim, etc. Then the next time I right click for All it works.
I am using Autocad 2010. I have been using 2008, but recently upgraded. I have a project that one particular file is driving me nuts! I can not use trim or extend on any existing line work. However, if I draw two non intersecting/crossing lines and ust the 'TR' command it works fine. I have checked to see if all lines are in the same plane and the appear to be. The only way I can trim or extend is if I use the 'Flatten' command.

I can't seem to figure out why in some cases trim works and in others it simply puts the top object under the bottom one instead of trimming it from the bottom one.
Does same thing in X3 X4 and X5?
I've tried everything from making sure both were filled with solid color - all curves closed, nothing else grouped with them - nothing - sometimes I have to try a couple times doing same thing and it will work, other times not at all - even after trying a save (which sometimes works)
Both top and bottom show on layer one in properties too!
We work in a packaging environment using MAC OS 10.6.8 using Illustrator CS6.
In order to ouput Illustrator files correctly through a RIP, we expand all effects (shadow, glows, etc) before converting them to a Hi Resolution PDF to impose for output.
What we have started to see is lines starting to show up on the PDFs (and the Printing Plates too) where the bounding box of the effect used to be. We have seen lines show up in earler versions of Illustrator but not to the number or thickness they seem to be in CS6.
Is there any way to avoid these lines from showing up (and being printed)?
How do I extend a horizontal line like such... _________ outwards from both directions left and right simultaniously, basically giving the effect that it is growing longer from both ends out, like such ______________________________. ( and still looking very clean and as the same line, as it extends )

I upgraded to Photoshop CC 14.1 Mid 2009 Macbook, 10.8.4 6GB ram/NVDIA 9400M GPU 236 MB ram.
When I launch PS by itself, my GPU is detected. If I double click on a file, there is a delay in opening and I get this message:
All my OpenGL functions are disabled. So now what can be done to get my GPU working as it did in 14.0?
I'll guess I'm out of luck since NVDIA doesn't issue updated drivers for my GPU.
after working with a lot of layers, masks and clipping layers my file got corrupted. That happened in the past but I always found a way to fix it buy copying uncorrupted layers to a new file. Most of the time it was just one layer corrupted. But this time is big, it looks like the whole file is corrupted.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor a long time I'd been using Gimp 2.8.0 on my Mac Mini. (Running Lion) It worked well, but it had a few annoying Wacom-related bugs.
Today I upgraded to Gimp 2.8.6 ... and it's very very slow. I tried 2.8.4. Also slow. (On the plus-side, the Wacom bugs are totally gone.)
I tried a couple of different binary builds. The two linked from the Gimp homepage and one from Partha.com. All very slow. At print resolutions, even something as simple as changing a layer visibility (Previously almost instant) now takes the better part of a minute.
Did something horrible happen to the rendering code during the X11 migration?
I've tried
--Turning off all color management.
--Working on monochrome files. (No improvement, which makes me think it must be draw-related.)
-- Increasing and decreasing the tile-cache size.
--Cursing.
So far I've just been using pre-made binaries, but I'm not adverse to compiling my own if I absolutely have to.
Rolling back to 2.8.0 fixes the performance problem, but I'd really like to have the bug fixes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm coming into my second week of desperate attempts to make my After Effects CS6 (Volume License) work in the cursed Mac OS 10.9. I'm back to using CS5.5 which works, but my clients are getting irritated by having to down-save all documents to CS5.5 for me.
– I've installed CS6 OK.
– I'm trying to patch it to 11.0.4, message keeps saying "Adobe Application Manager is damaged or missing, please reinstall"
– I've tried loads of ways to remedy this; CC cleaner, surgical removal and reinstallation of all Adobe files in various order, silent installs, all kinds of permissions repairs and adjustments, reinstalling AAM, installing AAM for volume licensing, studying the PDApp.log, install and crash logs,
I've considered wiping my entire system and trying to downgrade to Mac OS 10.8 in order to get my CS6 back up and running

I've got about 4 hours of work into solving the dreaded "Photoshop: CS6 saves in wrong file format on MacOS when trying to load obsolete plugins" (Aside: I don't suppose I can send Adobe an invoice for billable hours?? Naw, never happen.)
I could still not get CS6 PS to open and "save as" correctly. All of my plug-ins were current and the only linked ones were reinstalled after PS was updated. URL.... I saw multiple mentions of the "Standard Multiple Plugin" as a possible source of the problem. Found this file in /Library/ Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins. (Mac OS X 10.7.5) Removed the file and PS does what it should: defaults to all file formats on open and allows any format to be selected on "save as."
Get Info identifies this file as an Adobe plugin ver. 12.0.2 created and modified 7/18/11 obviously well before I got CS6. It also shows an Adobe copyright (2003-2010) message so this is NOT a third party plugin, nor is it a bad symlink, nor is it an outdated 3rd party plugin. Since this was placed there by the Adobe install and not modified by the CS6 upgrade, I can only conclude that Adobe wanted it there.What - if anything- will happen without this file in place and if it is necessary where does one obtain a new one?
I did not copy any old plug-ins to the new program nor did I have any bad aliases nor did I have multiple copies of anything.
i have a mac air 10.8.3 with cs6 V13.1.2 x64. The machine is running fine. I use an external usb apple keyboard, which is brand new (having just been returned from apple after a warranty case).
Launching Photoshop causes the space bar, the enter key, the up-down-left-right keys to become unresponsive to the entire operating system, even after photoshop is closed. Restarting the mac resolves the issue. Photoshop is the only foreground application launched, nothing else is running (other than background services and things like dropbox, sip, etc).
The issue affects both the external usb keyboard, and the in-built keyboard.I have tried deleting my photoshop prefs file, which makes no difference.
I have noted that bringing up the keyboard viewer ( Keyboard preferences > 'show keyboard & character viewers in menu bar'; then from the icon choosing 'Show keyboard viewer' ) will not show the key as being depressed. CLICKING on the SPACEBAR key, the ENTER or ARROW KEYS in the keyboard viewer also does not work!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have X4 Ultimate installed with KPT Effects & Nik Color Effex Pro 3. I now also have X5 Ultimate installed. Now X5 came with the same Nik Color Effex but I haven't installed it yet.Does KPT Effects from X4 will work in X5? Can I copy the folder from X4 into X5? (Same question pertains to the NIk Color Effex. Useful to install it again when it's already intalled to get it working in X5.)
I thought about just trying to point X5 to the X4 plugin folder but after just trying that with something else, I'm a little leary. I tried to point X5 to the Photoshop CS6 folder where AlienSkin Eye Candy 6 installed. But right after doing that and re-starting PSP, the startup box hung. I used task manager to stop it but the program still opened anyway. I knew that wasn't right, so I removed the link to that folder and X5 opened normally again. The newest installer for Eye Candy 6 won't let me do a custom install. So, how to get the filter working in X5.
Anyway, my main question is if I can get the KPT effects from X4 working in X5 and if so what I need to do.

I have enabled media and disk cache, max disc cache is at 100GB and I have an external drive (with 900GB spare) as the volume selected beneath that option. My internal SSD has not much spare on it. I previously had the internal SSD as the disc cache and still had this same problem.
My project is 1920 x 1080 25fps - And I'm trying to render to Quicktime. I've tried rendering to stills and then outputting to Quicktime (so as to have less computational effort), then running them through but the same problem persists.
If After Effects is the application in focus the project renders fine.
If After Effects is not the application in focus - ie. I work with it rendering in the background, the 'FINISHED' sound plays and the render is cut short a short while after I started working in another program.
The project render time is about an hour, so it's not really convenient.
In cs5 my brackets for resizine tools occasionally stopped working. I would restart and all would be well . . for a while. I figured that there was something wrong with cs5. Now I am getting the same thing in cs6.

I would like to know how to use a Transition without it affecting all tracks above it?
For example, if you apply a crossfade transition to a title track to make it fade-in, it will also affect the video track(s) above. The videotrack will suddenly turn black and then fade in together with the title.
Actually it will affect every track above the transition effect. So if you use for example the 'Switch Off' transition on the 2nd title track, it will also switch off the 1st title track, any possible overlay tracks and the main video track.
I can't imagine this should be happening. Is it a bug on my computer or is it a software issue
