Does Composition window settings affect final render?

I know this is a totally lame question, and I'm about 99% sure on the answer, but I'm still going to ask...does the quality settings in the Composition window affect the final render? For example, if my composition is set to 50% (size) and Half (quality), this would not affect a final, full size, uncompressed render, would it?
Thanks,
Kristin.

No, work settings for composition viewers do not affect final renders if the comp is added properly to the render queue. The only thing influenced is the "RAM preview" quick-save output module and render settings which can be used to dump already existing rendered frames to a movie file.

Does any windows service affects the device driver wake up time?

Is it possible for a windows service running on Win 8.1 (64 bit) to delay the wake up time of any device driver?
One possibility could be where the driver has any dependency on any other driver/service.
In this case, I checked the driver's INF file and there is no dependency section.
The driver start up type is service_demand_start and driver type is kernel driver.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Are you asking if a service can impact when the driver is started or when it is woken up after hibernation? For a demand start driver they start when they are needed so depending on the driver yes it could only be started after the service does an
action. You have eliminated the dependency section, but is the driver for actual hardware? If yes then it is highly unlikely the service can impact it. If no, then the service could be the starting it with StartService, or forcing its enumeration
and starting.
If you are talking the hibernation case, no there is impact.

I am running after effects CC on window 8 whenever I render a video the audio is misplaced. does everyone know whats going on?

HI, I am running after effects CC on window 8 whenever I render a video the audio is misplaced. does everyone know whats going on?

Nope. We don't even know what you mean by "misplaced".
Is it not there?
Is the audio somewhere else in a different folder?
Is the audio there, but leads or follows the video by a certain amount?
Other things:
Have you activated the audio checkbox in the Output Module when you add the comp ro the Render Queue?
Is there audio present in your comp when you RAM Preview?

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?

Does anybody know why type might render strangely when viewing a PDF in Chrome, Firefox and IE?
I have a client who I create a report for every year. This year there seems to be a problem with the PDFs that I have exported when they are viewed in various web browsers. To elaborate, the type is rendering inconsistently – in Chrome the weight of the type is inconsistent (ranging from light to something more heavy) and in IE the type appears more condensed, and the x-height is variable.
To my knowledge Chrome, Firefox and IE are all affected in one way or another. The problem does not occur in Safari.
We always use Helvetica Neue and have never had problems like this before. I am using the same version of Helvetica Neue as I always use, but even when I change the font to Helvetica the problem still persists.
On a deadline so would appreciate some support here. Box of beer to the person who can provide me with a working solution!
Thanks kindly
Simon Winter

Hello Ellis. Thanks for your efforts in helping narrow down this issue, and for offering workarounds for Simon. Here are the steps I sent to Simon, enhanced by the info you provided above:
1. I typed some text in Id CC 2014.0 (Mac OS 10.9.4) using the system font Helvetica Neue Light at 12 pt. All defaults were on, including ligatures.
1.a. I used the text in Simon's example, “An Annual Report marks the end of a year’s work, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on the principles that” and reduced the text frame width so that it wrapped across 4 lines.
1.b. I also tried creating an all-page text frame and filling it with placeholder text (same font, same point size).
2. Export > Interactive PDF (or Static PDF: doesn’t make a difference), using all the default PDF export settings.
3. View resulting PDF in the latest Chrome (36.0.1985.143) on that same Mac, or on Windows, at various zoom levels, on a retina display as well as on a lower-dpi monitor. It looks fine to me: all words and lines have the same even "color" or weight.
In all cases, the fonts embedded in the PDF were listed as:
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
HelveticaNeue-Light (Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType (CID)
Encoding: Identity-H
If you follow the above steps, can you repro the problem?

I Need Suggestions On Capturing, Timeline Settings and Final Rendering

Okay folks, this is me confused! I've been editing videos for the past two years and that isn't saying much as I've only trained myself through trial and error and reading manuals. I simply pretend that I know what I am talking about:) I have purchased the 5D Mark II and have FCP7. I think I'm doing okay, but I know there must be a better way of doing things and need help in doing so.
I film 1920x1080 30fps. I capture my footage with the default settings on the EOS disc that comes with the camera (works great), then I run my footage through MPEG Streamclip and convert them to XDCAM HD 30. From there I allow FCP to auto set the timeline to match the footage and then I edit away. So far so good and I'm really not complaining. However, since I have been making things up as I go along for so long, I have several missing pieces to my understanding of best quality film. I've been trying to figure out the use of ProRes codecs. My limited understanding (what I've heard and read) is that ProRes provides some of the highest quality. So my question is, should I then scratch the XDCAM codec conversion and go straight to ProRes, then edit ProRes and then final render as such? I'm confused because there are people that have said that you should edit in a lesser format and then render in the higher quality of ProRes since ProRes takes up more space on the hard drive (bigger files), yet, when I read official info on ProRes, the claim is that the files are small. So there is confusion number one. Then, confusion two, is if I edit in XDCAM or ProRes, what then? Meaning, is it best to send to compressor upon rendering or do I send it to QT or QT Conversion and then send that file to Compressor, or do I leave it at that and send to DVDSP? I know this is elementary, but all the conversations that I have found seem to be based on the understanding that I should already know this. So, I'm embarrased to say, I don't know, "this".
I have however, taken an edited a XDCAM timeline and then changed the Render Setting to ProRes and sent it to QT or QT Conversion (I can't remember which one sorry). The video had some text at the very end, and it looked incredibly jagged (no bueno). So I know that I was assuming or doing something wrong, and my "trial and error" has run its course as I have nearly run out of time. Therefore, I call upon the Discussion Board for help.
To sum up my questions:
1. Should I convert to ProRes to begin with instead of XDCAM?
2. Do I edit in ProRes and what should I make the settings for the Sequence (or should I allow FCP to auto select based on video files settings)?
3. What next? Do I send that sequence to QT, QT Conversion or to Compressor? If QT or QT Conversion, should I send it to Compressor after that?
4. What should I have my settings be over all on my Sequence?
I hope I'm not too annoying with my questions, and any help would be great.
Thanks,
Crayton

1. Yes, absolutely. By immediately converting to a long gop format you are throwing away TONS of information.
2. Auto-select. By all means match clip and sequence settings
3. You haven't said what your deliverable is, so can't advise you how to export.
4. See #2.
Pro-rez will be larger files than what you are getting from the camera. Get used to it, drives are cheap.

Mail composition window expands off screen

If I reply to an email or create a new email and start to type the email address, the composition window extends about 75% off screen. Does anybody have an idea of what is causing this? I do not believe I have changed my settings and have not installed any new software.

I take it you're talking about the dropdown panel in Rules panel in Mail > Preferences, when you click Edit?
You must have a rule with a whole lot of conditions and/or actions.
What is your screen resolution?
I just experimented a bit, and suspect it's a bug, not "bad design". I notice as I add lines, and the panel approaches the bottom of the screen, the scroll bars appear, so the panel quits growing, as it should, but only 2 lines after they should. It looks to me like the height of the tool bar isn't being considered properly.
If that's what you're seeing, report it that way in the +Mail and Address book+ forum. If others see the same behavior, one of the top posters there may be able to report it, or you can call AppleCare and they can tell you how.
I doubt this is a condition many folks would see, so it probably hasn't come up often, if ever.
If I misunderstand what's happening, please clarify.

Final render coming out with a stutter

Hello,
I have a simple render consisting of one comp that has 2 jpeg images moving right to left between two keyframes(easy ease). That comp is nested over a .mov of a moving background. When I RAM preview the motion looks fine, but as the images move a rolling line moves from the bottom to the top of the image. However when I render, there is no rolling line but the images sort of stutter across the screen instead of moving nice and smooth.
Background mov was rendered using Apple Pro Res 422 720x486 NTSC D1 - with no field rendering.
I went through and matched my composition settings and final ender settings and I'm getting the results described above.
Your feed back is greatly appretiated.
Good Health!

The rolling line is sync tering. But that's a whole different matter. The rest of your description is quite vague. Could be simple performance issues with uncompressed output, could be the usual issues associated with all image pans/ credit scrolls where you need to obey certain speeds. Please clarify.

Vector graphics: fuzzy in preview, sharp in final render?

hi all
I've been banging my head for a while on my fuzzy vector graphics issue ---vectors imported into AE from Illustrator, that include text, text outlines, clipping masks, etc. I had checked and double-checked my "continuously rasterize", my "collapse transformations", even gone into adjust anti-aliasing to best quality: no help
well, I had a breakthrough today: when I do a final render, my fuzzy vector graphics become crystal clear. Huh? well, Great! But now my question is, am I stuck editing fuzzy vectors? That seems like an odd limitation.
a bit more info on what I'm doing: I'm animating between bits of text that are varying sizes, some text is solid, some outlines, some with fills created with clipping masks--and I did do a little experimenting with taking out the masks, etc, because I've been told that some Illustrator effects won't come through properly, and cause an immediate rasterization in AE--but that didn't seem to do much to my preview quality. I've set up my illustrator file with the film/video preset, so I have 2 artboards--and I'm letting the biggest text spill out onto that larger arboard. I'm saving as a CS5, PDF compatible, illustrator file, and bringing into AE as a composition w/ "retain layer sizes"
any thoughts? is this just the nature of the beast? maybe I'm setting up my illustrator file improperly?
thanks,
LML

You might be seeing artifacting due to Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction if you're using non-square PAR in your comp(s). In your preferences, check to see if you have the Zoom Quality setting designated to "More Accurate".
If not, then as you noted, you probably have some effect enabled in Illustrator on one or many of your layers/objects that is causing the aliasing.

How do I switch to HTML in the composition window

I normally compose messages in plain text, and digitally sign them. However, on occasion I'll want to embed a picture, so I want to switch to HTML. The only way I've found to do that is to change the account setting before bringing up a composition window. I'd prefer to switch to HTML for just that message, and do it from the composition window. Have a missed a feature somewhere that does this?

Thanks for the tip. Would like an entry in one of the pull down menus for this.

The print window settings dialog box will not come up

When attempting to print a website, I need to select the option to print as laid out on the screen as described in this how-to: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-print-websites#w_print-window-settings.
However, I have attempted to get this dialog box to come up on 4 different machines that all have Firefox 32 installed and updated. The operating systems of the 4 machines were 2 Windows 7 64bit, 1 Fedora 20 64bit, and Windows 8.1 64bit.
It appears that using the print button launches the print preview screen. Pressing CTRL+P does not open this page either. Is this something I need to change in about:config? I already reset all the printing settings and reset firefox on these machine to see if that was the issue.
Please let me know how to correct this behavior.

On Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems, it does not come up. I did try disabling the pop-up blocker, but it just won't load the dialog box. It is driving me a bit crazy.
And Office 365 does put the email out to a new window, but it still has frames :(. Microsoft's support forum advised setting IE and other browsers to print as displayed. The issue is I can't seem to figure out how to get that dialog box to come up. I have tried disabling the native dialog box in about:config, but didn't have any success with that either

Mail: typing my own email address in composition window PROBLEM

This is a weird problem which arose in the last few weeks. When I type my own email address in a composition window, Mail will add a bunch of HTTP like text to the text. Here is an example in which I have changed my real address to a fake one:
This is my email mail@http://www.http://www.http://www.fakedomain.comcomcomcom.
This does NOT happen with any other addresses, just mine, which is the same address setup in my accounts. If I try using the delete key to remove the faulty text, it just keeps adding more of the same. ***? I'm perplexed.
Any ideas?
Mail version 4.2 (1077)
OS 10.6.2

The following test might be helpful in deciding what to try next: Create a New User Account, and as that New User try to set up at least one account -- if POP set to leave messages on the server. If not familiar with setting up a New User Account, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
This will be a useful test to now check this behavior in another User Account, and of course is not meant to suggest a permanent switch to the New User Account, but rather a test of the Mail application outside of your normal User Account, and hopefully outside the use of Mail Unread. You could then set that User up to use Mail Unread, and see if the same happens there.

Composite windows and Fle dialogs

Hi everyone,
I am working on a GUI object of type Composite which has a text field and a (Browse) button. It has been programmed so that when the user presses the Browse button, a file dialog opens up. Now the problem that i am having is that after the file dialog opens up i am still able to bring the Composite window, sitting in the background, up front by clicking on it which i don't want. I have tried using the setEnabled() method on the Composite but it just disables the browse button and the text field, but does not completely block the user from the composite window since one can still bring it up front. Is there any way to achieve the following functionality?
The user clicks browse the file dialog opens and as long as the user selects the file the file dialog is active and the composite window in the background remains inactive, once the user has selected the file the composite becomes active again.
This is just like if, in your Internet browser, you click file->open and out pops the web address input window where you type in the web address of the web page you want to visit. During this time you can't click on anything in the background unless and until you close the web address input window. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

As suggested above if you are using JFileChooser then
is is automatically displayed as a modal dialog.
If you are creating your own FileDialog, then you
need to make the dialog modal and specify the JFrame
as the parent when you create the dialog.Thanks for support.

Is the GPU used for final render?

Hi,
I started using Speedgrade on my Mac Pro, and I really like it.
I'm getting great playback of my 3K r3d files - realtime at 1/2 res with my ATI 5770,
but when I'm doing my final render from the output tab it will only render 0.7 fps in both online and offline quality.
So I was thinking about getting a GTX 580, but will Speedgrade use the GPU for final renders or only for playback? If it's only for playback it wouldn't make sense for me to buy one.
I'm also struggling with getting my project from Premiere to Speedgrade,
I can export an EDL, but this will only contain one video track - and I usually use multiple.
Is there any way to export a sequence with more than one video track?
Thanks

Hey azton,
Speedgrade is using GPU for playback and CPU for rendering.
Regarding Rendering Speed:
what kind of input resolution do you use? - this is crucial to improve render time. If you want to render out Proxies for example, its recommend using input-res below FULL, generally speaking of 1/4 ... 1/2 etc Res.
By changing InputRes only you wil already notice a speed-up, activating OFFLINE quality should give a additional boost.
What is your Output format? DPX? QT? Your Output Resolution?
Rendering from a 3K image + Colorcorrection/Masks/Secondary + Resizing to XXX OuputRes + Codec (h264, DNxHD) wont be ultra fast though.
EDL:
multiple videotracks are not supported in the CMX3600 EDL standard. You have to deal the EDL as a traditional FINAL/MASTER edit.
hope that helps,
D-A

Why some settings are located in windows settings node while other are located in administrative template node?

hi friends
when we look at any GPO in Group policy management snap-in, each GPO has these four main sections
1-software settings 2- windows settings 3- administrative templates 4- preferences
my question is, what logic or criteria exist about dividing OS settings into these four parts?
what shared characteristics exist in windows settings node & what shared characteristics exist in administrative templates node?
its confusing. because some settings about windows exist in windows settings node but some other settings which are again related to windows, are located in administrative templates node.
any help please.
thanks in advanced

> but i need some more info about that
For which purpose? It is the way it is, that's it :)
