What happend to composition-cropped layers?

Hi; when I try to import my .ai files to after effects my files look like a image. In the previous version on after effects has composition-cropped layers option. But in the new after effects version havent. There is just this 3 options "Footage", "Composition" and "Composition - Retain Layer Sizes". I read this links in the helps and saying we just change the name with 'Composition - Retain Layer Size'. But its not. I tried every thing on this link but Im still seeing my files like a image. I never make a cropped layers. How to make  a cropped layers how to see my all layers on after effects? Please help.

"AE use to bring in Illustrator files as the size of the artwork itself. Now it brings them in as the size of the artboard. Is there no way to tell AE to ignore the artboard?"
That is not true. AE has always clipped Illustrator artwork to the size of the art board in the comp. There is a pain in the neck work around and a not so much of a pain in the neck work around.
The pain in the neck work around is to convert the vector layer to a shape, reveal the shape layer properties, move the fill in group 2 (cropped layer) to group 1, then delete group 2.
The not so much work around is to Edit original, increase the art board size to include all shapes, then reload your footage. If you choose this option I would start with a copy of the original Illustrator file.

    I am a Jr Oracle DBA, though I have several years of SYBASE experience my knowledge of Oracle is very minimal. With the large base of excellent Oracle masters and guru's, I rather remain a junior in this field because there is a lot to learn from everyone.
    I have been using this forum and others on OTN and metalink to learn from others problems and solutions. Trying out stuff and learning along. Never needed to post anything yet because I could find most of what I was looking for from the documentation, books and forums such as these. So this is my first post, sad to say that I have to write on this first
    Over the past 3 days or so I have noticed very unhealthy discussions by certain individuals such as ‘ohiostate’. He has been accusing the entire professional community in several layers, authors, volunteers, publishers and user groups. The thread “A Good Guideline book for Database systems” is a perfect example..
    First of all, when people write such generic statements and generic advices they should have the basic commitment to disclose themselves. Otherwise they should be treated as anonymous and deleted. But what happend to the moderator?
    By using such generic names in their user ids and using such abusive language, accusing others, who does he represent, causing disgrace to all the Oracle users from Ohio State or Ohio State University?
    Everything this user has mentioned should be taken with little or no value. This user in particular is a disgrace to the Oracle user community. How does he call himself a Oracle DBA?
    Moderator, could you delete the threads/replies created by this individual and bring some health to this discussion forum? or merely do something with this person?

    Jason,
    I agree with you, unfortunately there have been several individual whose contributions are less than non-sense couple of bytes such as "read the manual" without even worrying about pointing out to the specific piece of manual, or even worst, suggesting to read a manual they have even not read themselves. There have been other cases even worst who in a completely anonymous way attack and harass other members from the forum, those individuals have been removed from the forum several times, there was an individual who directly attacked Justin Cave several times, it attacked also Andrew Clark aka APC, and it was removed along with its rubbish threads.
    Sad to hear this is the topic for your first post, but at the same time, I feel glad this forum at least has served at a certain extent to solve your problems, so you have not had the need to start a post on your own. Solving an specific problem for an OP or indirectly serving others as accurately as possible is the spirit of the forum.
    There is a moderator, and you can reach him by posting your thread at the Community Feedback (No Product Questions)
    Best Regards.

  • Resize Composition to Layers Scale

    Hi AEScripters,
    could someone tell me why my script doesen't center all my layers?
    (I'm trying to build a tiny crop tool)
    thnx a lot
    :F
    Here is my code:
    // written by fabiantheblind
    // http://www.the-moron.net
    function fitCompToLayer()
    app.beginUndoGroup("fit Comp To Layer");
    var activeComp = app.project.activeItem;
    var selection = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0];
    var myScale = selection.scale.valueAtTime(0.0,false);
    var myScaleW = myScale[0];
    var myScaleH = myScale[1];
    activeComp.width  = Math.floor((activeComp.width/100)*myScaleW);
    activeComp.height = Math.floor((activeComp.height/100)*myScaleH);
    // this doesn't work. but why?
    var newWidth = app.project.activeItem.width;
    var newHeight = app.project.activeItem.height;
    var myLayers = activeComp.layers;
    for(var i = 1; i< myLayers.length;i++){
    myLayers[i].position[0] =   newWidth / 2;
         myLayers[i].position[1] =   newHeight / 2;
    app.endUndoGroup();
    fitCompToLayer();

    haha. Or you make this the easy way like this:
    To crop the composition to the region of interest, choose Composition > Crop Comp To Region Of Interest.

    For the "Arangements" option to appear, the external display must be turned on with the correct input selected and connected to the computer.  Then close system prefs, reopen, go to "Display" and "Arrangement" will be along the top. 

  • What happends when you give 2 groups with some of the same members different authorizations for a document

    Hello,
    I'm doing my internship at a litte Telekom company. I'm investigating how they can use MS SharePoint as their central place to put projectinformation. Now i've been thinking what happends when i do the following:
    Make one document library
    Add 2 groups to the Active Directory, group "A" with all the employees and group "B" with only four people working on a project. When i add a document to the document library and set the authorizations for the document as
    follows:
    Group B: Read/Write
    Group A: Read
    Does the people from group B still be able to edit the document, because they are also in group A?
    I don't have a test environment to test this myself.
    Why i want to know this? The company want's one place to place all their documents with projectinformation. This information is about different projects. You only wan't that people can change the specific document when they are working on the specific project
    where the document belongs to.  

    You get the union of permissions, so if one group allows access and the other not, you will get the union of both and therefore access. Of course, you can break security settings per library/folder or document, and specify new settings,
    if you need too.

  • Recently I was adding music to my Ipod Touch and charging it, afterwards, my Itunes was missing music, does anyone know what happend?

    A few days ago, I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to charge it, and also add new music I purchased. When I unplugged the USB cable ( I disconnected it from the ipod first, as I was told to do) I went to look through my music. There was a notification, I don't remember what it said verbatum, but the gist was "177 songs could not be properly synced onto your device". Now, I'm missing music from my itunes library. For example, I purchased two full albums from the same band, now over half the songs from the albums are just gone, they are no longer on my ipod or itunes. Does anyone know what happend, and/or how I can fix this? Please and thank you
    P.S. This happend after installing itunes 6, I've noticed many other people are also having problems with it as well

    Could be several things. Without more information like what was the wording of the error message I will not even guess.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Cropping Layers with Crop Tool in Photoshop CC 2014?

    I have been trying to find out if the crop tool can be used in Photoshop CC 2014 to crop layers individually rather than the entire file, and I am not finding any answers through any searches. I can't even find a standard Abode How-to for cropping in the CC version. Is the Marquee tool still the only (best) way to crop an individual layer?
    Also, I have been looking at a crop tool tutorial for the CC version that seems a bit opaque to me in the way it's written (Adobe Photoshop CC for Photographers), and it refers to a Crop options fly-out menu, but I can't find any way to access this.

    The Crop tool is not designed for the job you would like done. As you have seen, it crops the entire image.
    Instead, use the Rectangular Marquee tool to frame the area you would like to maintain. (Sample 1)
    Then choose Select > Inverse. It will select the area to be removed.
    Then tap the Delete key. Result is Sample 2)

    I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
    I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
    Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

  • What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?

    What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?
    I'm trying to debug a kernel panic under Solaris 10 on sparcv9. I tried the SUNWscat 4.1 package but it core dumps on Solaris 10. I found a blog entry that described the problem and mentioned a version 4.2 fix. That was from May 2006, but I have not found any update sense then. Was 4.2 ever released or is their an alternative tool for Solaris 10 that I can use?

    One problem is that those of us who develop Solaris CAT do so as a "hobby" as it's not part of our actual jobs. But he good news is that management gave us the time to get a release out and 5.0 is now available here . We're now planning 6 month releases so we don't have a 5 year delay between updates.
    BTW, the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool supports Solaris 10, OpenSolaris/Solaris Nevada, sparc, and x86/x64.
    There are so many enhancements and bug fixes that I'd recommend reading the release notes (SUNWscat/docs/index.html).

    I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes.  I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format.  However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there.  I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC.  I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
