CS4 PS 3D into AE...help!

I am importing a Photoshop 3D layer file into AE. It makes a new composition with it's on camera and and control layer. I am wanting to import the 3D layer into an existing composition, but when I rotate the 3D comp, it's a flat 2D image when adding into the existing comp. If I open just the 3D comp, I have full 3D control. Is there a way to bring a Photoshop 3D layer into an existing project and have the same 3D control as if it were just the the 3D comp?

Are you saying copy the Camera, Controller and the PS 3D layers that are inside the comp that was created when importing the PS 3d file into my first comp?
Correct. The cam is optional - when inserted into a comp with an existing cam, the effect will use that one. Naturally, it will also use the cam's settings, so the 3D will look different.
the one thing that drives me crazy is moving the controller layer inside the comp that was created when importing the PS 3D file. The controller layer seems to work like a null object, but it's HUGE and the slightest movement sends my object off the screen.
Well, you imported the object into PS at a tiny scale. It's nothing you can fix in AE. The flaw is with PS, obviously, as it simply sets 1 unit = 1 pixel, which is of course utterly useless, if the object has been built to scale and 1m suddenly becomes so small... Scale the object by a factor of 1000 or so in PS, then import again.

  • Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

    You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
    Thanks.
    We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

    We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
    The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
    Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
    Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
    Cheers.

    What file format do you save it in?
    What kinds of changes did you make in that file?
    Where do you save the file (removable or network media)?

    the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. (when putting ipod into mac) help,. now have no music on my ipod. how do i sort this out?

    - Verify the file and disk formats on your camcorder and on your friend computer whether they support what you want to do. Also, if you are using a specific application to do the task, you may need to verify an application whether it supports the file format (e.g. MPEG4, Apple Intermediate Codec).
    - Verify the device cable type whether Mac OS X 10.4.x supports.
    - Verify the device compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4.x.
    - Check an available firmware or driver for the camcorder that has developed after Mac OS X 10.4.4.
    - Try diagnosing and repairing local hard disk and camcorder's drive directory.
    - Verify disks permissions issue.
    - Verify whether the disk is TOO warm or cold to read.
    - If every troubleshooting does not solve the issue, consider to reformat the camcorder drive.

    With no files open, edit your preferences and change units to inches.
    That said, InDesign will convert units so if you type 11 in, even though the document uses picas, it will convert the inches to picas for you.

  • How to import Bridge CS4 photo gallery into Dreamweaver CS4?

    I'm a novice when it comes to web design, but am starting to master DW CS4. While searching for a way to create good looking photo galleries I found an online video explaining how to do it using Bridge. The process in Bridge was strainght forward and simple. However, I have not found how I can bring the photo gallery I created in Bridge into a page based on a template in Dreamweaver. Can it be done? How?
    I designed a template for our website which I would like to use for any photo galleries in order to maintain the same "look and feel" and ease of navigating within our website (www.aquacomgroup.com).
    Please help!

    I'm having the same problem & desperate to find out how to do this!! Help!!

  • Putting a CS4 Bridge gallery INTO an exsisting web page

    Is it possible to put a web gallery created in CS4 Bridge into an exsisting web page created in Dreamweaver? I have a site with several pages and would like to have one of my pages display the gallery so that it all looks the same. I am sure it would entail editing the html and scripts which I am somewhat familure with. Just wondering if this is possible.

    As you say it's probably a matter of getting the html generated by the gallery and insert it into your own pages.  I'm not familiar with creating such a gallery, but the technotes do bring up some links that may be helpful  (hopefully  :-)

  • Upgrade CS3 TO CS4 - Serial Number Not Recognised - HELP!

    Hi there,
    From what I have been reading, there seems to ba a few people who are having problems upgrading to CS4 from CS3. Well, I'm afraid I'm another to add to the list. Can anyone help me in my plight?
    My O.S is Windows XP Pro (SP3) and my computer has more than enough nuts and bolts inside it to run NASA never mind CS4! My anti virus is AVG 8.5 and my firewall is Zone Alarm, both of which were disabled during the attempted install.
    I purchased the upgrade from the Adobe store (at £165) and had the box delivered - great so-far!
    However, when I came to install the upgrade, and after putting in the correct CS4 serial, a window opened to inform me that the system-profile search, failed to find the CS3 in the defaul location - and believe me it's there! I followed the on-screen instructions, typing-in the serial number of my (leagally-bought) CS3; to my horror, it told me that the serial number was 'not a valid copy' when it clearly is!!
    I have successfully installed the CS4 Upgrade only on a 30 day trial basis but still cannot register as it then tells me that BOTH my serial numbers are invalid. Suffice to say that the 30 day trial version was later uninstalled and I am now back to square-one and £165 poorer!
    I have opened a case with Adobe but after over a week have still had no reply. Phoning customer support in the UK was also a no-no as their office hours (9-5 Mon to Fri) are not compatible with me as I cannot be next to my machine during these times (Unless I take a day off!) My next option is to phone the States but hey - it's only money!!
    My question is therefore - can anyone help or make suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue. A point to note that after buying and installing CS3 I notice in the headline (once the programme is running) it is labelled 'CS3 EXTENDED'  yet this is not written on the box - is this normal? The CS4 Upgrade was the same so it looks like I am trying to install a like-for-like product.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    What's the point though of issuing upgrades that don't upgrade?
    Well, once it was pretty easy. There was only one full-version of PS. Back then, there were variations with terms like "Lite," and "LE," and these were basically bundled with scanners, etc. They were the precursors to PSElements. For a bit, there were only two PS and PSE. The "upgrade" was either the full-version upgraded to the next version, or the full-version from PSE. Then "Extended" was introduced, and now there are two full-versions. Each will have their own upgrade path, so some care needs to be exercised. Extended basically offers more video capabilities over the "regular."
    Upgrade paths have also changed, and can come into play, when one uses a stand-alone to upgrade to a "suite." Once, one could upgrade separate programs directly, but with suites, things get a tad more complicated. Though I've had straight PS versions since 2.5, once I went to the Production Stuido suite with PrPro, AE and Audition, I could no longer use my PS license to JUST upgrade PS to PS-Extended. I would have to do the full suite, and now there are several flavors of the Video suites, with one including upgrades for all of my old Macromedia Studio suite. I follow this stuff fairly closely, and have to admit that I am confused, and the Adobe site (good in many other ways) does not cover the various suites and how to get to each from where one is, as well as it could. However, a chart of all possibilities and what is in each suite might fill four screens.
    Then, you have to factor in that many resellers do not furnish all the necessary info on what is needed to qualify for specific upgrades. Once, when there were fewer resellers, one had to give the S/N for their existing product, and then this was matched up to the requirements of the upgrade. Now, there are just too many resellers to do that - or Adobe has become a bit more, um-m, "relaxed."
    Over the decades, I have found Adobe Customer Support (not necessarily Technical Support) to be quite good and accommodating, when I did have any problem. In the past, they did all that they could to keep me satisfied, and did a good job of it.
    Good luck, and please report how it goes,

  • Where do I paste my CS4 keyboardshortcuts & workspaces into WIN7/photoshop CS5?

    Ok I backed up my presets,  keyboard shortcuts and workspaces from XP / photoshop CS4,
    looking to paste them into Windows 7 & PS CS5.
    I individually updated each folder in presets into CS5 as there were 30 folders all up in presets compared to 24 in cs5. Thats fine,
    my problem is with keyboard shortcuts & workspaces...
    here`s where I believe they would go, but not sure which folder exactly?
    2 questions:
    do I paste my custom workspaces into basic1- workspaces, or 2- task based workspaces??
    The presets folder no longer has a folder titled "keyboard shortcuts", so where do I put my KBshortcuts?
    ** May I suggest Adobe provide the upgrade user a text file or readme file explaining where these backed up presets and shortcuts,workspaces should go in the next version of the software, would be very helpful. Especially if microsoft have released a new system also, xp, win2000 to vista to win7 etc.
    I always find it stressful doing these upgrades and it delays my upgrade decision.

    ok the shortctus are still not showing in PScs5 for me
    I placed my custom shortcuts here, I even tried changing its name to "marks" and restarted PS, still not showing,
    here in PScs5 you can see my custom shortcut is still not showing in the keyboard shortcuts menu..
    i`ve been at this PS/Ai shortcuts workspaces to win7 cs5 for over 2 hours,      its so simple..

  • Indesign CS4 Problem with weird characters HELP!!!

    I am rather new to Indesign, but have been using it for several months with no problems.  I design our church bulletins and my youth group bulletins using it every week.  I don't know what happened but I opened previous documents tonight and when I tried to change the text with the text boxes, it shows the text being changed, but when I hit space or click off the text it turns into boxes instead of the text characters I typed.  I have tried opening other docs and even other text boxes within the docs and everytime it does the same thing.  When changing numbers it brings up a little box with numbers and chinese looking symbols next to them.  This is really confusing me and google searching has come up with nothing to help. Can someone please help me before I lose my mind???

    More inforamtion about restoring preferences can be found here: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences
    Read everything.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, it sounds like a font problem. Are you having any other problems in other applications? It's possible you've selected a differnt fron than you are used to using.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 DOES NOT RENDER! HELP

  • JS InDesign CS4: save document into specific location on a network

    Hi,
    I been able to save my document with new name, but I am not sure how to specify new network location for it. Here what I have:
    app.activeDocument.save (myFileName+".indd");
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Yulia

    (Aside: me not a John, me a Theun. [JW] is just a convenient handle.)
    "/SPACE"+yourfilename is not a fully qualified path name. For one, with a 'yourfilename' of "foo", it will result into a full string
    /SPACEfoo
    and this can be taken apart in a path "/" (the root of your current drive) and a filename "SPACEfoo". You need another slash after "SPACE".
    Second, you should investigate what a full path looks like. I seriously doubt "/SPACE/" is a valid path on your machine. Use the one line script I showed to check what it looks like for a saved ID document.
    A small trick you might want to use is, pressing Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C, on Apples) with a dialog on screen copies the entire text of that dialog. That's how I copied the full path and file name into my previous mail -- I didn't type it in manually.
    [EDIT] Sorry, I did not include that one line script. It simply is
    alert (app.activeDocument.fullName);

  • Anyone see changes in images when making a web gallery through Adobe Bridge cs4??? Please Help!

    When creating web galleries through adobe bridge CS4 the final gallery images become very orange.....
    Not even comparable to what we are  seeing in Bridge or Photoshop CS4....
    Adobe tells me that this is happening because of the conversion for web use.
    We are just noticing this change now and feel that there is a problem somewhere.....
    Has anyone else seen this issue or now anything to do to get it fixed???
    It's really annoying, Please Help!!!

    You probably want to ask this in the Bridge forum. From what I know, Bridge converts the profile to sRGB which helps avoids big color shifts if you view the images in an uncolormanaged web browser. This may change the appearance slightly, but there shouldn't be a huge shift.
