Parameter Effectivity and BAPI_NETWORK_COMP_ADD

Any suggestions on how to set/pass parameter effectivity data when adding a component using BAPI_NETWORK_COMP_ADD?

Hi,
It's really interesting. The field you are referring to has a unique data element and domain. They are not being used anywhere else. Also, Field is not getting validated again in this FM. What I would suggest is
If the networks earlier created were created using a BAPI in a program, you could use the field in this also.
Else, based on your requirement you have to choose the value. For ex, If thro' WBS use '08'.

ECM-parameter effectivity-history

Hello Team,
For my client we are using ECM with parameter effecitivity concept and below is my problem
When i use normal ECR without parameter effectivity and perform the changes in BOM when the final approver goes to reporting he can see what all changes has been done whether added or deleted etc....
But when we use ECR with parameter effectivity, i am not able to see any history in reporting section. How can the final approver come to know what all changes has been made in that BOM. Offcourse any additions or quantity changes can be seen as ECM is there next to that. But how can one see the consolidated changes if any part number has been deleted using that ECM even change in qty or additons have to be compared with older BOMs which is difficult.
Please help me on the same.
regards,
sai

Hello Sai,
Try if you can use 'ECM Information System' : Tcode- CC07.
Hope it will help.

No routing selection in order through parameter effectivity

Hi,
I have created routing and BOM in CEWB with parameter effectivity with change number. But while creating order in co08 with sale order no; i am getting the error message as no routing found. The sale order no we are mentioning as parameter effectivity no while routing, BOM, Change no. creation. With the change no; i am creating the routing and bom. But in while order creation i am not getting the routing and bom. Please help me where i have done the wrong. weather in parameter effectivity creation or is there any integration of order creation with sale order no ? Please guide me why i am not getting the routing to my order. And i have to get the operational data of parameter effectivity of 1311 sale order only. i have created routing and bom with parameter effectivity 1308 to open interval.
Regards,
Mastan.

I assume these 3 tyres are 3 different material number in BOM at 3 different position and get selected with a selection condition as per user assignmnet of values? in same way in super routing there can be 3 different operation to which these materials can be assigned or there can be only one operation which will work as " Tyre assembly"
These 3 tyres are three different materials namely pirelli_tyre, goodyear_tyre and MRF_tyre. They are all in the same position in the BOM. Depending on the value assigned to the characteristic Tyre_type any one of the above 3 materials will be selected.
I created one sales order and my when converting the planned order to production order it throws the following error. I am able to proceed with a warning for both 'yes' and 'know' options. Let's say I click yes now, and then I proceed and then I go to the 'Production order create: Header' screen. Now when I click the button 'operation overview' on top I am able to see an operation which is not at all present in my super routing. Don't know how this happens .
Whereas for another component (dirtbike_Frame) in the BOM I created a separate routing with one single operation and assigned it to the material (dirtbike_frame) apart from assigning it in the super routing and writing the correct selection condition so for this material (dirtbike_frame) the routing gets picked properly.

What is parameter id and default component in data element? Help!

Hi experts,
In the further characteristics, What is parameter id and default component name in data element? what are they used for?
Example: S_CARR_ID.
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
Parameter ID :- Is used for assigning value to field.
Suppose u call a transaction in u porgram.
and u want to assign some value to field before executing the transaction.
if the field has parameter id u can assign value to field before calling the transaction.
that is it take the default value from the memmory.
and u set value in the memmory using parameter id.
<b>----
GET PARAMETER -
</b>
Basic form 3
GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See ABAP Unicode - Other Changes
Effect
First, the value stored under the key pid is transferred from the local SAP memory into the field f. If this key is not available in the local SAP memory, the value stored under the same key pid is transferred from the global user-related SAP memory to the field f.
A parameter ID can have up to 20 characters. You can find an overview of the keys (parameters) used in the SAP system description or the appropriate function in the ABAP Workbench.
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0: A value was read from SAP memory. SY-SUBRC = 4: No value was found in SAP memory under the specified key.
Notes
The global user-related SAP memory is available to each user for the entire duration of a terminal session. For this reason, set values are retained when you leave a program.
You should not use SAP memory for temporary storage because a user's parallel sessions use the same global memory.
Example
Read the program name from SAP memory:
DATA : REPID LIKE SY-REPID.
GET PARAMETER ID 'RID' FIELD REPID.
<b>----
SET PARAMETER -
</b>SET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See ABAP Unicode - Other Changes
Effect
Writes the contents of the field f to the global user-specific SAP memory and the local transaction-specific SAP memory under the ID pid. Any existing values under the same ID are overwritten.
Parameter IDs can be up to 20 characters long. They cannot consist entirely of spaces. The SAP system description contains an overview of parameter IDs. You can also produce a list using the ABAP Workbench.
Notes
The global, user-specific SAP memory is available to a user for the duration of a single terminal session. Values written to it are retained even when the user exits a program.
Do not use SAP memory as a temporary storage area, since parallel sessions belonging to the same user all use the same memory area.
Only store data of the types C, N, D, and T, as well as structures that consist of these types, in the SAP Memory.
You can create new parameter IDs using the ABAP Workbench.
Parameter IDs may have a namespace prefix.
Example
DATA REPID like sy-repid VALUE 'RSPFPAR'.
SET PARAMETER ID 'RID' FIELD REPID.

How is the -gm parameter effecting query runtime in detail?

During test I found out, that the parameter -gm seems to have some dramatic impact onto runtime of queries. In Detail I found a something like factor 0.5 to 0.6 inside my tests for a smaller system:
-iqtc 12000
-iqmc 12000
-iqlm 1000
-gm 100
-m
-iqrlvmem 6000
When setting -gm 1001, runtimes for a single query goes up from about 10 to about 40s.
So how is the -gm parameter effecting IQ in detail?

When IQ starts it allocates threads based on the -iqmt parameter. If you don't set it, then it is computed as something like:
     -- 60 threads for each core up to 4
     -- 50 threads for each core after 4
     -- number of connections (-gm option)
     -- add 6 more just for good measure
Let's assume that your IQ instance has 16 cores and you have -gm set to 100 . IQ would allocate 946 threads (60*4+50*12+100+6). We have to add 1 more thread to this, too. Before we can allocate threads, we have 1 thread that is running to start the server.
On my 16 core system, here are the threads allocated at startup for various values of -gm:
     -gn 10: 857 threads
     -gn 100: 947 threads (notice the +1 from the above algorithm?)
     -gn 1000: 1847 total threads
There are two major deductions from the thread total: IO threads and SA/user threads.
Of the threads, 40% are supposed to be held in reserve to handle IO tasks (sweeper and prefetch threads are set to 10% each and apply to main and temp cache) via the Prefetch_Threads_Percent and Sweeper_Threads_Percent options. I am double checking this area just to make sure. There was some work done on this in the v16 timeline.
For user threads, I don't see you having set -gn. Assuming that -gn is not set, then IQ will reserve 5 + -gm threads (105). Not a problem. IQ will grab 5 more threads than are allocated via the above algorithm, but that's OK.
Things go a bit wrong on you when your -gn is set to the recommended value of 1.5 * -gm. What happens is that we are computing the number of threads needed based on -gm (100 or 1000). However, we are actually allocating threads based on -gm (105, 1005, 150, or 1500 depending on the default or best practices used).
Imagine that -gn is set to 1.5x -gm. Of the 1847 threads allocated, 1500 are held in reserve for user connections. Read that as threads for the catalog only. There would be just 347 threads left over. But don't forget the IO threads either. Now all of a sudden there are no threads left for any work in IQ. We are thread starved. When IQ gets into a thread starvation mode, we have little or no threads left over to do work in IQ. At that time, we use the one guaranteed thread that each user connection has to do all work. This holds true for worker thread starvation as well as IO thread starvation.
One of two things is happening in your case. You are either thread starved and forced to run everything single threaded or your system has so many threads that it must spend too much time maintaining threads that are not being used.
If you can run sp_iqsysmon in '-debug' mode you can look at the "Thread Manager" section to check out the thread usage and allocations.

Replace Footage with Current Effects and Attributes Applied to New Clip

I made a mock-up commercial with comp videos from a website and now need to replace them with the paid versions of the clips. Is there an easy way to replace the footage and keep all the attributes and effects I put on the comps? I tried the replace function but fcp told me "Insufficient content for edit."

Tom's right there, you can't replace a ten-seconds clip with an eightsecond clip.
But also look up the paste attributes function. This allows you to keep all of your attributes while replacing just the media.
*Copying and Pasting Specific Clip Attributes*
*Clip attributes are all the parameter settings applied to a clip—for example, motion parameter settings, audio and video filters and their parameter settings, speed parameter settings, and so on. Copying and pasting selected clip attributes is a quick way to add nearly any attribute to other clips in an edited sequence. You can copy motion paths, frame cropping, and animated filter effects from one video clip to another.*
*Suppose you have just applied three filters and a speed setting to one clip, and you decide that you want exactly the same effects to be applied to several other clips in the sequence. Instead of re-creating each setting clip by clip, you can simply copy the first clip, select the other clips, and paste only the specific settings you want into all of them simultaneously.*
*When you copy a clip from the Timeline, you also copy all of its attributes. Instead of pasting duplicates of the clip you copied with all of its attributes, you can:*
*Paste specific video or audio attributes that you want into other clips in your sequence.*
*Paste only the clip’s video or audio content, with none of the attributes, so that the content of a clip is replaced. In other words, you can replace the clip but keep the parameter settings of the original clip.*

Architecture advice for Effect and AEGP communication

Happy monday!
In my current plugin project I need to use an "helper" AEGP for tasks my main effect plugin cannot accomplish (delayed tasks via AEGP idle hook, project modifications that will crash if performed inside the Effect logic, etc.)
I'm trying to figure out an elegant and robust architecture design for this cross-communication.
Heres the way I see it:
Effect passes info along to AEGP via custom suite data.
AEGP reads the data at idle, and performs some required task.
The success/fail of this work and the resulting products are communicated back to the Effect via AEGP_EffectCallGeneric.
My question is basically surrounding the data/info handoff. What kind of objects should I be passing back and forth? Is it considered poor design to simply pass along a pointer to the sequence or custom arb data to the AEGP via the custom suite? And vice versa when the GP sends EffectCallGeneric to the effect and passes a pointer, it could just be the same pointer that the effect originally sent the AEGP using the custom suite.
Aside from undo/redo, is there an advantage to using arb parameter data over sequence data for this task?
It seems to me that AEGP plugins are loaded once and only once in the session, so if multiple instances of my effect plugin are used in the project, and they are all calling the AEGP there is the potential for a race condition if the custom suite data is used to pass along information. Is this an accurate assessment of AEGPs? A simple example of this would be that the custom data suite has a variable that stores which effect plugin is calling the AEGP. If another instance of the effect starts talking to the AEGP, it would overwrite the suite var telling the AEGP which effect instance is calling it, thereby making the AEGP perform the work of one effect instance but sending the results to different instance.
Even if the AEGP is extremely simple and just performs small atomic operations each time the custom suite data tells it to, how do I prevent n+1 Effect instances from colliding when using the AEGP worker? Am I missing some key part of the Effect->AEGP communication that prevents this race condition situation?
This is the first time I've tried my hand at writing inter-process communication where I have the option to exchange actual in-memory objects. I'm hoping someone with more experience with this sort of problem can give some pointers(hah) or at least a few cautionary words about designs to avoid.
Thanks, sorry for such an open ended question, but this is the place to talk to the pros
-Andy

yo andy! what's up?
i see you were up to no good... naughty.
you are correct in your assumptions.
AEGPs are indeed loaded only once per session, but if you're rendering with
the "multiple frame simultaneously" option, then the AEGP is loaded
separately for each AE instance.
(so would your plug-in. each AE instance calls it's own global setup)
now, plug-ins are called on the main thread. which should mean that only
one plug-in is is called at a time, which should mean that your AEGP may
only get one call at a time. i'm not absolutely sure that the base
assumption is correct here. it's possible that multiple effects are called
at the same time, so re-entrancy of your AEGP suite is possible.
how do we know? we can either test, or ask zac lam.
re-entrancy is a non issue when reading data (all can read at once. it
doesn't matter). but when writing data... that's a problem.
to prevent such issues you need to implement some mutex (mutually
exclusive) mechanism.
it only allows one caller access at a time, while the other caller stall
until their turn.
boost library offers such tools.
as for what data you should transfer.
you can either pass data by value, or by reference.
when a function gets it's data like so:
function(int val);
it get's a local copy of the data. no worries about scope here.
if it gets the data like so:
function(int *val);
or function(int &val);
then we're talking reference. in this case, the val variable is only valid
while the object to which it refers is valid.
that depends on stability of that memory chunk. what makes a chunk stable?
1. if the data is created as a local scope variable it will invalidate when
the code block finishes. make sure don't access that data at other times.
2. AE handles of a plug-in instance are only valid during calls to that
plug-in.
let's look at the two directions of communications you have.
1. effect calls AEGP.
in this case, the call order is as follows:
AE calls effect.
effect is now executing. at this point, sequence/global data are valid, and
anything locally allocated in the call handling function.
effect calls AEGP.
AEGP is now executing.
you can now pass anything you like from the effect to the AEGP.
if the AEGP returns data, it should be data that remains valid after the
AEGP finishes executing.
AEGP finishes it's thing and exits.
effect is now executing.
effect finishes the call, exits, and AE is executing.
at this point, seq/global data handles are no longer valid. (at least you
can't rely on that)
also, anything allocated in the effect's calling function as a local
variable, is no longer valid.
so now your AEGP gets called on idle time.
it should only rely on memory that has kept since the effect was executing.
what memory is kept?
anything in global scope of the AEGP, or pointers to memory that was not
deallocated or moved.
seq data handle may not have been deallocated, but you can't tell if it
moved or not. so you can't rely on it.
if the seq data has another pointer in it, which point to a non movable
piece of data, then you can rely on that pointer.
seq/global handles are locked an unlocked by AE. memory handles are managed
by the plug-in (so you know if they can be relied on or not).
2. AEGP calls effect.
AE is calling the AEGP on idle time.
AEGP is executing.
AEGP calls effect with data.
effect is now executing.
effect uses data gotten from AEGP.
effect optionally returns data to AEGP.
effect exits.
AEGP is now back executing.
AEGP uses data returned from effect. that data can't be references to local
variables in the effect as they are no longer valid.
AEGP exits, AE is now executing.
so in both directions you need to see that at the time the data is used,
that is is valid.
as for sequence data vs arb param.
yes, there is a difference besides undo/redo.
AE creates (multiple) copies of the data stored in arb params before each
call to the plug-in and also after.
if you're storing very large amounts of data in the arb param, then the
copy operations will start dragging your performance down.
it's usually a non-issue, but... it's a point to think about.

Material field not apprearing with parameter effectivity.

Hey SAP experts,
We are using serianumber parameter effectivity in ECR. Now we have one small issue the column material is not appearing next to the columns upper limit serial number and lower limit serial number.
I tired all the SPRO settings and MM settings, basic settings field selection etc....but nothing worked out....
Can i get some help here please

Hi Srinivas,
KUNDE_LO is a data element , what ever kombi1 is defined i think that does not have any values maintained in the system.
or
Check whether any user exits or BAPI's used bringing the customer specifications.
You can also check the data element existence u might have done that .....

I am new to After Effects and Motion 5 and I have a question

Hello there,
I am currently working on a personal side project for a family member. She would like me to make a video with recorded audio and pictures from the 1920’s for my grandmother. I would like to give the parallax and 2.5D effect a try but as I never used After Effects or Motion before I am a little overwhelmed.
I have about 80 images to animate. Right now I am in the ‘Photoshop phase’. I am going through each image and separating the foreground, mid-ground, and background, into separate layers and saving the .psd files to eventually bring into Motion 5 (or After Effects) and animate.
After seeing this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrYyX3bHI8
I really wanted to animate the images I had in a similar fashion. I really loved how they seemed to move and know that I can accomplish this appearance with the pin tool in After Effects. After seeing this video however, I continued looking into the 2.5d effect and found this movie for Motion 5:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxlm2nkVLA
I bought Motion 5 because I thought the interface seemed more user friendly to newcomers (like myself), the effects were similar, and because I couldn’t afford to pay for After Effects every month.
But now I am kicking myself. Motion 5 is lovely and I do like the camera effects but I don’t think I can accomplish the ‘puppet’ effect with it like I can in After Effects. Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a plugin for Motion 5? Can I send my .psd files into Motion 5, set up the timeline and cameras, save it, and then move it into After Effects and then use the pin tool to manipulate the images and layers?
I have read that some say it is hard to move Motion files into After Effects? If this is the case, could I save the Motion file, open it in Adobe Premiere, and THEN open it in After Effects and play around with it?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.

2.5D is fairly easy to do in Motion... that's the good news. The bad news is: if you don't know what you need to do to accomplish it, it's practically impossible to do easily or well.
The first problem to overcome is perspective, and the other problem is parallax.
These two tutorials (by Mark Spencer) will give you all the information you need dealing with moving Photoshop Layers in Z-space. Even though the point of the tutorials is a "fly through", the same information applies to creating 2.5D. Just animate the camera laterally (sweep) instead of dolly.

There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

A few questions about After Effects and CGI (Computer-generated Imagery)

Hi,
I'm very new to After Effects and this forum. But I have a few questions.
Now, I have recently started a movie project with my friend at a workshop. It's an action/sci-fi film and I'm probably going to be the editor and if needed in charge of visual and/or special effects. This sounds like a pretty big job for a noob, but we don't have a time limit with the project so there's time to learn.
But to my questions. I've thought of introducing CGI to myself (very simple of course). I've studied the use of blender, and I think I'll use it for the modelling and animation. But should Ae be used in any stage of producing the CGI or should everything be done in blender? If I do, how? Am I going in the wrong direction (wrong kind of software, etc.)?
Also, I'm not talking of fully producing the scene with the computer, but adding things like characters or items, maybe special effects.
I'm hoping for an answer to all my questions, but if you have just one or two answers I'm happy to hear them too. You're also welcome to correct me if I've misunderstood something. Please ask for further specifications if you need any!

1. Welcome to the family. AE is big, Really big. It's hard. Really hard. You have no idea how hard AE is to learr and to master.
2. No time limit is good but you will need some money.
3. This is not a Blender forum. You want to explore filmmaking, CGI and Blender-specific forums for that kind of assistance.
4. AE is for your compositing and special effects. But you will need to learn how both apps work before you can decide how to divide up your project. A comparison would be shooting your film. Are you using a DSLR? Do you know why? Or are you using a GoPro? Another example might be Apple's Final Cut Pro. You can edit audio in it but it's better to use an audio application. You can do some special effects in FCP but it's best to do complex stuff in Motion of After Effects. How do you know what app is appropriate Lots of experience. Lots of failures.
5. We were all new to AE and to vidoe editing and to special effects at one time or another. The user forums are not places to learn how to use these applications. You do that with tutorials and books and tons of time. Learning to use Blender to make a robot move is one thing. Making the robot into a character that compels the audience to care about it is quite another. Using AE to create a layer of clouds is one thing. Having those clouds react to the bow waves created by your flying robot as it approaches sonic speeds is quite another challenge.

MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid 2012) v MacBook Pro 15 inch (mid 2014) for After Effects and Premiere

Hi everyone,
I'm interested in working with After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 probably creating quite heavily layered files and experimenting with and combining effects. (I also work with Photoshop and Illustrator.)
My workplace allows me to use a 2.5 GHz Intel Dual Core i5 / MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid 2012, non retina) with hard disk and integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 4000 512MB). I understand this Mac can be maxed out at 16GB of RAM. (Official Apple specs I realise say 8GB RAM is the max for this computer but I've looked into this thoroughly and have confirmed that 16GB is in fact possible.)
I'm considering purchasing one of the new Haswell based MacBook Pro (mid 2014) models for myself.
If I do, I'll get the retina 15 inch / Intel Quad Core i7 / 16GB RAM / Intel Iris Pro Graphics / NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M / 1TB Flash Storage.
I realise there is a big difference between these two machines in terms of their specs - the 15 inch with the dedicated GPU will be far more suited to motion graphics work than the lower spec machine with integrated graphics card.
Currently, my understanding is that After Effects CS6 and Premiere CS6 do not support the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M but from research on the net I believe it's possible to add this video card to the list of supported cards within the respective applications, forcing them to recognise and use it.
Having read about the upcoming Broadwell chip, which I think may be capable of supporting 32GB RAM (possibly coming in Q2 2015 from the various websites I've visited) I wonder if it is worth holding off my purchase, and maxing out my older 13 inch laptop in order to run After Effects and Premiere for the time being.
If I waited for Broadwell based 15 inch MacBooks I think its likely they'll be expandable to 32GB RAM, making the computer a better long term investment.
eg if Adobe increase minimum/recommended memory requirements for their software in the next few years. While I don't know for sure this will happen, it does seem quite likely at some stage. The 2014 15 inch MacBook - while an excellent computer at the moment - could potentially be slightly limited with regard to future Adobe software releases as its max RAM is 16GB.
I realise I could potentially look at a high end iMac if memory is a concern, but I prefer the portability of a laptop so I'm restricting myself to portable options for the moment.
What I'm wondering is -
If I install the 13 inch 2.5GHz i5 laptop with 16GB RAM as is possible, how would it perform when running After Effects and Premiere? It currently has 4GB and it very quickly runs out of memory meaning playback of goes very slowly when previewing complex files in the timeline. This necessitates rendering of small test sections of the timeline to see it at the correct frame rate. Would the move from 4GB RAM to 16GB RAM give me a noticeable improvement in this regard? If so then this is tempting as I don't have to pay for it - I think my workplace will cover the cost of extra RAM. And then I can wait till next year to buy my own high end laptop.
The 15 inch 2.8GHz i7 quad processor has Iris Pro and dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT750M with 2GB RAM. I would be paying the full cost myself.
I realise rendering would be faster with this Mac but would I see a noticeable improvement over the maxed out 13 inch laptop when previewing multi layered After Effects and Premiere compositions / sequences within the timeline? I like the idea of being able to preview footage in real time as I'm editing as it saves time and I think it makes the process easier generally.
Any thoughts welcome and thanks very much in advance for your time and advice.
Kind regards,

"In this case yes, I can most certainly see a performance increase as your machine is still not too old and a RAM increase will help it for sure I just can't tell you by how much.
I own the same machine as yours (except for mine having 2.9ghz and i7, and 8GB of ram) so I think it's safe to say for me that the RAM increase will help you for sure."
That statement of mine answers your question you just asked

Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 Do as Mylenium told you. If you don't know where it is. Go to www.adobe.com, sign in, search for the cc cleaner tool downloader and it should fix the issues. Have you went into your control panel, under programs and features and removed it from there?

Effects and key-frames not working on some clips Premiere CC 2014

Hi. I am having an issue where effects and key frames applied to both audio and video are not working, but only sometimes. Even after I render or export the video, the effects are not showing up. For example, trying to adjust volume using key-frames on some clips works fine, and not at all on others. The key-frames show up and I can see the volume changing in the effects panel, but it is not happening. Another example is changing the opacity on some video clips and it does not work sometimes. Same thing, I can see the key-frames and the values changing, but it's not actually happening. I have uninstalled and re-installed premiere pro and media encoder with no luck. I have uninstalled and re-installed the latest Nvidia drivers with no luck. Just to restate, this only happens on some clips and rendering or exporting the video does not help. My computer specs are:
MSI GT60 Laptop:
Intel Core i7 4800MQ (2.70GHz)
16GB Memory 1TB HDD 128GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M 8GB
2880 x 1620 16:9 3K Display
Windows 8.1 64-Bit

Here is the exact screenshot. Now I'm also trying other effects as stated in my original post. But this effect is just an example. Is there really something that I'm doing wrong here? Or am I forgetting something? Is there some special "adobe doesn't let keyframes work on mpg's" rule or something silly like that?
I wish that I could post a video, but I don't know how.
Please let me know what I need to do to make this work properly.
