GIMP :: Track Changes To Layer Visibility?

May 26, 2012

Can I make it so that the undo history in Gimp doesn't track changes tolayer visibility?

(I do a lot of compositing with layers, so I don't really want it to tracklayer visibility changes so I have a nice undo history with only changes Imade to the image.)

After Effects :: Using A Keyed Layer As A Track Matte?

Sep 18, 2013

I am experiencing a strange issue on a comp I am working with, and due to the way its set up, and the pre-comps etc, I am not even sure how to go about asking the questions!
 
1) To start:
 
I have a comp with 3 Footage layers. One 4K Moving background image from Video blocks, interpreted at 25FPS. One R3D clip of one of our ships, camera on a tripod and ship "Waggling" slightly up and down - kept in RAW mode for clean keying. A duplicate of this layer, used as the colour corrected layer.
 
I have a Comp that contains the RAW footage, Keyed, and the colour corrected footage below it and set to Alpha matte.
 
Above is the settings and the output of the ships wing.
 
This is then precomped, and engine glows, contrails and thrusters etc are added with Null objects, lights, optical flares and particular:
 
at this point, everything looks great, this is then further precomped into a new comp, where it is placed above the background layer - and here is where the issue happens. It is almost as if the trackmatte is a frame or two behind the colour layer:
 
<-- notice the blue edging from the blue screen.
 
I track these layers backwards and forwards through the precomps, and I cant figure out why this happens?
 
(there are keyframes on the trackers above, and the contrail precomps for position, and a scale change over time on the ship layer in the final comp.) If I pull the ships precomp into the final comp as a new layer - the issue remains. If I double click to open the ship layer, the issue is not visible.

VideoStudio :: Layer Static Images On Overlay Track?

Feb 14, 2012

Spent all night working on a more complex "test" of V4 and it appears I ran into an overlay brick wall. My last component is a series of 6 social media-like icons and I only have two overlay tracks. It appears that I can select a group of images to drag to an overlay track but they are applied sequentially. I need them to persist to the end of the video.

Is there a way to layer static images? I see that with shapes and titles I can go hog wild in one overlay.

VideoStudio :: Video Track Holding Sync With Music Track

Jan 28, 2012

When cutting video shots in sync with a music track how can I remove part of a clip and replace with a new shot. I know there is a replace clip facility but there appears to be no way of editing the new clip. What I would like to do is leave blanks in sync with the music and fill in correct length of shot later. The same question for overlaying video shots of an interview and holding sync when returning to interviewee.

VideoStudio :: 6 Connecting Voice Track To Video Track During Editing?

Dec 9, 2013

In VideoStudio 6, how does one connect the voice track to the video during the editing process?

My specific issue is that I have to go back and edit material sometimes that precedes the voice track I already have laid down, but when the time frame of the material after my new edit I have to go back and drag the voice track to the proper location. I would like to be able to permanently "attach" the voice track to the specific video clip and have it follow that clip as it is moved, time wise, during the editing process.

Is there a means to make this happen?

PS - I realize there is a work around way - just publish each clip and then rebuild the final project but that is NOT what I want to do.

VideoStudio :: Link Audio Track To Video Track

Jan 17, 2012

I see that you can split the audio from the video. Can you do the reverse and link the audio back into the video say after you split, cut and mute an off camera scream? It would just make it easier to add clips before the edited one, although it's not all that hard to sync things up.

Photoshop :: Selecting Layer Visibility

Sep 11, 2013

In <CS6, you could click down on the eye-icon in front of a layer, move out of the layer tab group, move up a couple of layers, and then go back in, to deselect that layer too.
 
In CC, when you do this, it'll deselect all the layers in between as well. I'm sure this is working as intended, but it was a ridiculously useful "bug" (feature!) when it wasn't working this way.
 
Use-case: to instantly switch between one set of layers and the other. I know there are other options to do this with, but there's just no real reason to "remove this feature" (correct this bug?) because you already *had* the option of deselecting everything you move over in the first place.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Layer Visibility On Different Sheets?

Jun 12, 2013

I am trying to control the layer visibility on different sheets of the same drawing but have not quite figured it out yet.

We add a DXF sheet to drawings with flat pattern views to export to DXF for our laser.  I wrote a VBA macro that adds the sheet, copies the flat pattern view and removes the dimensions to clean it up before creating the DXF.  I am having a problem turning off the visibility of the bend lines on JUST the DXF sheet.  I can turn bend lines and hidden lines off with this:

 'Turn off bend lines and hidden linesFor Each oView In oSheet.DrawingViews 'Set the layers collection Set oLayers = oDrawingDoc.StylesManager.Layers 'Turn off all bend lines and hidden lines For Each oLayer In oLayers If Not InStr(oLayer.Name, "Bend Centerline") = 0 Or Not InStr(oLayer.Name, "Hidden") = 0 Then oLayer.Visible = False Else End If Next Next

 but it turns them off on all sheets.  I want to only turn them off on the DXF sheet.  How would this be done?

Illustrator :: How To Toggle Layer Lock / Visibility In CS6

Jun 16, 2012

How to toggle the layer lock/visibility in CS6 than in the earlier versions.

It seems that there's more padding around the lock/visibility icon, and you have to be really precise to click it... increasing the row size doesn't really make any difference, as the "padding" is still there. Wheres in the earlier versions clicking anywhere within the toggle box would enable/disable it.

Photoshop :: How To Toggle Visibility For A Layer Group And All Its Sub-groups

Sep 1, 2012

As I am using Layer Comps more frequently, i find myself frequently needing to toggle the visibility of layer groups, which contain several sub-groups. I tried all the shift + cmd + option - click variations, but none seems to do the trick.
 
here an example:
 
Visibility           Type           Name
OFF                Group         Row
ON                  Group         Button 1
OFF                Text            Help!
OFF                Shape         Bg
ON                  Group         Button 2
OFF                Text            Help Please!
OFF                Shape         Bg
 
so what i am looking for is a short-cut so that when i click on the visibility of the Group Row, it will turn on the visibility of all the layers contained.

Illustrator Scripting :: Turn On Layer Visibility Without Exact Name?

Jan 4, 2013

I am realtively good with actionscript, so I am trying my hand at this to streamline our image exporting process. I am using CS5 on a PC.
 
We build our illustrator files to be a combination of different layers. Sometimes just one layer is exported at a time, and sometimes layers are combined to form a more complex image. We use layer names with instructions of what layers should be on and off.
 
An example of the layer naming might look like this:
 
03 (01-ON, 02-OFF)
02 (01-OFF)
01
 
I have been able to figure out how to check if there is a note to turn a layer on, my question is how do I select the layer to turn on the visibility without using the exact name of the layer?
 
In my example, when layer 3 gets exported, it should have layer "01" visible and layer "02 (01-OFF)" not visible. Since our files are always constructed differently (meaning 02 might not always have a note about 01 being off), I can't use the getByName option because I don't have an exact name to call the layer and turn the visibility on. The layers always start with 01, 02, 03, etc. Is there a way to use getByName and only have it look at the first 2 characters of the layer name?

3ds Max :: Use Note Track In Track View?

Aug 15, 2011

I'm curious how many of you use note track in the track view/dope sheet? It is running damn slow here, 15sec to add a note track, 30sec adding a note in dopesheet and 1 mins before I could open up the note editor. I doubt it is being useful at all.

Moreover, the infamous Max MotionClip Manager bugs is caused by that... so do you really use it?

GIMP :: GIF Image - Copy And Merge Selected Layer Over Every Other Individual Layer Automatically

May 1, 2011

I have a GIF image that I need to add something to, but I don't want to add it to every single individual layer. Is there a way to add it over or behind the entire GIF so that it remains static while the GIF's frames cycle - like a watermark or something?

Or if not, is there maybe a script-fu that copies and merges a selected layer over every other individual layer automatically, without messing them up?

I know I'll probably have to just end up manually adding it to each layer, (so many layers...).

GIMP :: Make Edges Of Top Layer Blend In With Bottom Layer To Tell That There Is A Line

How do I make the edges of the top layer blend in with the bottom layer so you cannot tell that there is a line??? I want to make it look like a heart but I don't know how to smoothen the edges to make it look like it is part of the bottom layer so when I merge the layers there is no goofy lines looking like someone cropped another fire picture out...

GIMP :: Copy Result Of Subtract Layer Mode To New Layer

Apr 16, 2013

I have two similar images where the subject has moved between the images. I have them in the same file as two separate layers and am using the subtract layer mode to identify where they differ, (roughly!).

I want to be able to use the subtract layer as a completely new layer so that I can make edits to it. The only way I have found to do this at the moment is to 'copy visible', but this still brings other elements that I don't want from where the layers overlap.

GIMP :: Layer Modes Don't Work In Layer Groups?

Jan 20, 2014

For the projects I'm working on, I use the same template beneath the different layer groups of each different project. When I move a "color" layer into the group, however, it doesn't show up like it's supposed to. It behaves as if the 'color' layer is a blank layer, and has no effect. Is there any way to get this to work or?...

ALSO: I can't open images by URL.

GIMP :: Align Single Layer In A Layer Group?

Jun 7, 2013

Why can't I align a single layer that is inside a layer group? The align tool would always select the top most layer group as the 'boundary' for alignment, thus automatically selecting the whole layers inside of it and align them as a group.

Is this a bug or just GIMP's weakness? It definitely reduces the layer group's usefulness.

GIMP :: Transform A Layer Without Moving Its Layer Mask?

Dec 14, 2012

Long time gimp user, but for basic tasks only. Now I would like to get my hands dirty a little more. I'm trying to setup a workflow that involves CAD, Inkscape and GIMP. Basically I did some architectural drawing in CAD, used Inkscape to clean up and convert DXG into SVG, so that I can use paths into GIMP. I did a script that for every path creates a new transparent layer with a layer mask using the path, so I can add fills and textures quickly. Now to the problem: say I want to add a texture from another image, i paste the image into the appropriate layer, then I want to transform the texture a bit (scale, rotate and perspective). the result is that the layer mask is transformed, too. I tried to disable the mask during transform, but didn't work.

Is there a way to workaround this? maybe some layer mode instead of layer mask?

GIMP :: Layer Groups And Layer Modes / Opacity?

May 14, 2012

I just downloaded GIMP 2.8 (on Windows 7) and was using the layer groups to organize a project I'm doing. I noticed that whenever I put the layers into the layer group, nothing I do to them actually affects the image (for example if I change the opacity of the layer, it doesn't actually change). If I drag them out of the layer group they function perfectly; sometimes if I edit them and then drag them into the group they also work fine.

As I was writing this post I tested dragging a layer set to "dodge" into the group and it didn't work. It kept the dodge setting, but it looked as if it was on normal; however, I drug another layer set on dodge into the group and it worked fine.

Is this feature just broken on Windows, or does it not work like I thought (where you can drag them in and edit them individually, or edit them all by editing the layer group itself)?

GIMP :: Transform Layer By Manipulating The Layer Itself

Feb 1, 2014

I would like to know if there is a way I can transform a layer by manipulating the layer itself.

For instance, I can select Layer-->Transform-->ArbitraryRotation, and then use the mouse directly on the layer, giving me a "realtime" vies of the rotation.

Is there any way to do this with something like the "Scale Layer" function, so I could transform a layer directly, while seeing in realtime the difference the scaling makes?
