Eye Dropper tool in After Effects Not working Properly

I am using Adobe After Effects CS5 on a mac. And most all of the eyedropper tools in the software are not working properly. They always select a way different color than it should be. What is wrong?
One day they just all decided to not work. Its really frustrating. Its been a few weeks now.

Well, For some strange reason its working just fine today. I did restart my computer yesterday and after that it seems to be working.
I haven't recenitly messed with my hardware acceleration/graphics card or monitor color profile. So if that was it, then it did it on its own.
None the less its working now. Thank you for your help!!!

  • After Effects not working in Mavericks

    Is anyone having issues with Adobe After Effects not working in Maveriks? Premeire, Photoshop, Audition all work, but not AE. No update from Adobe available.

    This update is ONLY FOR MAVERICKS. You can't update through Creative Cloud, to prevent users of other operating systems from installing it.

  • After Effects not working. It hangs before getting to the interface and I can't upgrade neither!

    I juust bought adobe after effects for the creative cloud. I can't get it to work. I installed the Afx through the app manager and launch it and didn't work. It freezes. Then I though it was because I had a previous version trial installed in my computer. The Cs 5.5. I downloaded the Adobe cleaning software and cleaned the HD. Then I reinstalled everything and now stills not working and won't patch neither. What should I do?

    Nobody can tell you anything without system information. The most common issues why the app won't launch are GPU issues or DynamicLink problems, but again, we really can't know without more details. Provide system specs and the crash info and while there, also comb the articles on my site. It is, after all, the After effects error Code Database...

  • Adobe After Effects not working with Mavericks?

    Great. I knew better, but I watched the **** presentatiuon, and "upgraded" tyo Mavericks. Now I get this when I try to open After Effects
    I have the latest After Effects. I'm on a deadline. I'm ******.
    D'oh. At least I backed everything up.
    Hope anyone else using After Effects reads this before upgrading.

  • "Ken Burns effect" not working properly

    Whenever I try to add a still photo to an iMovie 6 project, i get an error chirp and then nothing ends up in the timeline. Often, if I turn off the ken Burns Effect, it imports fine.
    Do I need to reinstall? If so, won't that mess up the iLife '09 software already installed? And will it mean that I have to reinstall all my Slick Effects?
    Anybody know the answers to these questions?
    Thanks in advance.

    As Rich839 writes.
    My list in another way of putting it
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    iMovie updated ?
    QuickTime updated ?
    Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

    I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

  • Crumble animation effect not working properly

    Crumble effect is not working. Other effects seem fine. Tried moving the one slide to a new presentation. Tried changing speed.  I've rebooted. Can't locate any pref files to remove. I'm using it on a .png object I made in photoshop. Hmm. maybe I'll convert to .jpg and see what happens.
    Using Keynote 6.2
    OS X 10.9.4
    Mac Mini 2.7 core i7
    16gb ram

    Crumble effect works perfectly with me.
    You are aware that crumble is a build out effect?  Therefore it removes an image from the screen using the effect.

  • Flip effect not working properly

    Hello Friends,

  • Can you help? photo booth effect not working properly.

    The pop art effect is no longer working on my mom's G5. It only shows a pic in the upper left rahter than the four it used to show: upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right.

    parp,
    You don't mention which model of G5 your mother has.
    However, you need to install a "fresh" copy of the Photo Booth application from the install DVD or a working copy from another machine.
    Mine POP ART effect stopped working like you mentioned with only the one photo in the upper left. I deleted that copy of the Photo Booth application and installed a fresh one. Now all 4 or the photos are showing.

  • Leopard Video Effects Not Working Properly

    When ever I have a video conference and try to use a video backdrop the picture becomes very flaky, with parts of my me being covered up by the back drop and random parts of the back drop not working. I think I'm doing everything right but it still isn't working right.
    Thanks,
    David

    I have that same problem too. I called up Applecare and was on the phone with them for at least and hour and they couldn't fix it either. They said that everyone is having this problem. I was at the Apple Store today for my ProCare Appointment and the creative told me that it does the same thing on all the computers in the store. Its such advanced technology that it need a nice clean background. There is a way to get it to work if you have a plain white background and I have yet to try it out. I am positive that apple will fix this through a software update in the future.
    The support agent on the phone said this might help too:

  • Photobooth Effects not working properly

    I'm having an issue with Photobooth that is quite odd. When there aren't any effects turned on, Photobooth is fine. When I click on the effects buttons however, they are all screwed up. I can't even explain it, so I've included a link to a few screen shots.
    Bear in mind that I'm sitting dead center of the camera. My iSight works fine in other apps, so I'm assuming that it's the effects plugins that are causing this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    I would delete them.
    They are placed in the Hard Drive/System/Library/Compositions folder.
    Technically this is not good Practice as that should be for Apple's own stuff only and any Add-Ons should either go to Hard Drive/Library/Compositions for every Mac User to use or to Hard Drive/Users/(your account)/Library/Compositions for just you to use.
    The second more important thing is that they are older style Quartz files and not compatible with the current Quartz/Quicktime management of Video.

  • Photo Booth Backdrop Effects Not Working Properly

    Special Effects and Distortion Effects work but Backdrop Effects (Clouds, Color Dots, Earthrise, Eiffel Tower, Fish, Rollercoaster, Sunset, Yosemite)
    doesn't. It would ask me to step out of the frame and I do, then I get Background Detected and I step in the frame but here's the problem. The backdrop doesn't show correctly. Say I choose 'Eiffel Tower' I can't see the whole backdrop just some of it because my actual background (wall) interferes, in other words I can see both my wall and the backdrop. How can I fix this?

  • Render lighting effects not working properly

    I seem to be having a problem with the 'Render > Lighting Effects' feature. It works, but not the first time I use it. I can go in, set the controls how I'd like them, and click OK to apply. The effects will remain for about 5 to 10 seconds, and then it will revert to the image I had before the lighting effects were applied. If I repeat the process a second time, the effects will remain in place.
    I'm using CS6 via Adobe Creative Suite on a Windows 7 operating system. Any ideas?

    Don't really understand what you are saying.
    Without the ability to change the size of the oval the lighting effect will always be the same size.  How can I get the buttons to appear?  I have just watched several video tutorial on the lighting effects in CS6 and the buttons were showing in all of these and it was demonstrated how to change the size of the effect by using them.

  • Transitioning effect not working properly (cross dissolve)

    I had a clip and split it in two in FCP. I took the later half and imported to AE to make my effect. The plan was to import it back to FCP and add a cross dissolve between the two half-clips to make it look like the effect fades in. Makes sense, right?
    Weeeell, the darn thing won't let me add an editable transition. I place the two perspective clips side by side (so they continued with each other), right clicked the part where they met and added the cross dissolve. It only added a one frame effect to the later (AE) clip. I've tried even going through the menus and doing the cross dissolve, but it still does the same thing. Is there something that I must have missed or something extra I'm not doing? All I want to do is have my two halves of a clips edited together with a dissolve. Can anyone help me?

    Basically, a handle is media that extends beyond what exists in the timeline. You can use the search feature of this forum for hours of amusing and informative reading.
    When you exported out of fcp to ae, you effective lost any possible handle, because you started at what you wanted to be the middle of the dissolve.
