3D render settings missing on Mac?

Hi.
I'm using PS CS6 Mac version and I can't find render settings in the 3D panel.
As a consequence render quality is poor because the render settings can't be changed.
Does PS CS6 for Mac lack this function? If not, how can I find it?
Thank you.

Do you have CS6 Extended, or a CreativeCloud subscription?  If not, then you won't have the 3D features.

  • How do you move Compressor 3.05 settings from one Mac to another?

    How do you move settings from one Mac to another?
    I have Compressor 3.05 installed on two Intel Macs: a MacPro tower and a MacBook Aluminum. I created a new setting on the MacBook, and can see it in Library -> App Support -> Compressor as "<name>.setting" Then I moved to the Mac Pro for speed and created a few more settings. I copied these settings from the Mac Pro libary and put them in the MacBook library; restarted Compressor on the MacBook but still cannot see those presets from within Compressor. I hate to re-create all those settings, but I do move between both computers depending on what I am doing.
    What am I missing? Thanks.

    To copy single settings.
    1. Drag & Drop your setting from the Compressor Settings window to i.e. the desktop
    2. Copy .setting file to an other Mac
    3. Drag & Drop the .setting file(s) over to the Settings window in Compressor
    To copy settings groups (folders)
    1. Go to */Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Compressor*
    2. Copy the settings group folder you want to your i.e. the desktop
    3. Make sure Compressor is not open on the other Mac
    4. Copy the settings group folder to the same location on the other Mac
    5. Open Compressor
    Hope this helps

  • FCPX Project Render Settings - Can you edit in h.264 and Transcode/render only used clips on timeline to Prores during render?

    I have a question on the PROJECT RENDER settings in FCP X. It’s seems to me that one could theoretically import and edit entirely with original h.264 video files without needing to Transcode to ProRes422. Once you’re done with your edit and want to get the added benefits of COLOR GRADING in ProRes422 color space, it seems that FCPX will automatically render your edit in ProRes422 according to these preferences. In that case, a color grade could be applied to the whole edit, and be automatically transcoded/rendered into ProRes 422 during the render process. After rendering, what would show up on the viewer and what would EXPORT would be the rendered Prores files and not the original h.264 files. This saves a lot of time and space of transcoding ALL your media, and in theory should enable you to edit NATIVE video formats like h.264, with automatic benefits of ProRes during render.  I'm assuming the render may take longer because FCPX is having to convert h.264 video files to ProRes422 while rendering. This may be one drawback. But will you your color grade actually use the 4:2:0 color space of the h.264 native media, or will it utilize 4:2:2 color space, since the render files are set to render to ProRes422 ? Can anyone please confirm that this theory is correct and optimal for certain work flows?? Thanks!

    Thanks Wild. That's what I thought - in that the render files would be converted to ProRes422 codec. So do you or anyone else think that there is an advantage to having the 4:2:0 original file be processed in a 4:2:2 color space?
    Yes there is an advantage, any effects and grading will look better than in a 4:2:0 space.
    Most professionals online seem to think so. Also - will rendering of heavy effects and color grading take longer using this method because it's having to convert h.264 media to ProRes during render?
    Yes, it will definitely take longer.
    Can anyone verify from a technical standpoint whether editing and color grading in this workflow will see the same benefits as having transcoded the h.264 media to ProRes in the first place?
    Same benefits from a final product view point, you lose on rendering time though and if you have lots of effects things will seem slow as it will have render everytime from the h264 file rather than a Pro Res file for every change you make. This may be fine on a higher end mac but I'm sure just pummels an older lower end mac as to being almost useless.

  • Animation Render Settings crash After Effects

    Hello all,
    We have a strange issue on one of our Mac Pros running After Effects (CS5). Whenever it renders with the Animation render settings, it beach balls and eventually freezes, unless you log out of the user and log back in (in rare occasions, it can only be fixed by restarting). However, when it crashes in this manner it takes forever (10+ minutes)to get back up and running. This is the only time it takes a while to turn on or log in.
    However, if we change the render settings to say h.274, everything works fine. I don't think it is because it is running out of resources as the Mac has 32 GB of RAM and the file we were testing on wasn't large (< 1 GB). We've tried rendering it on the network or locally on the machine, but it will freeze either way. It is an issue that is limited to this Mac Pro, so I don't think it is just a bug in the software, considering how it isn't random at all and other machines with the exact same set up have no issue. Normally, I would say we would need to update or reinstall a codec if it were third party, but considering Animation is native to Adobe, I don't think that it is that simple to fix.
    What do you guys think? Do you think we need to reinstall After Effects?

    That's not actually true. It's native to QuickTime, and we just call the QuickTime system to do all of the encoding.
    Well, that is good to know.
    Also, we have version 10.2 (603.17) of QuickTime.

  • Where are the AE render settings in Media Encoder?

    I'd like to use Adobe Media Encoder for background rendering, but how do you set the render settings (like bit depth, motion blur, solo switches, guide layers, ect)?
    Also, how do you select the output color profile from AME?

    Hi Clint,
    Sorry for the long delay on replying, I've been busy. Doesn't look like you've cross-posted this to the AME forum, so I'll take a crack at the answers:
    1) AE renders compositions at a bit depth of 8, 16, and 32 (float). AME can encode frames at 24, 32, 48, and 64 (for ProRes 4444, for example). How do these things relate to each other, and how/why should you use a particular AME bit depth setting for an AE comp?
    These numbers all represent bit depth.  AE states bit depth in terms of bits per channel (bpc). AME usually states bit depth in total bits per pixel (bpp = bpc multiplied by the number of channels). It's one of those little inconsistencies that comes from the two apps growing up under different development teams.
    RGB has three channels. RGB + Alpha has four channels. Doing the math:
    RGB 8 bpc = 24 bpp
    RGBA 8 bpc = 32 bpp
    RGB 16 bpc = 48 bpp
    RGBA 16 bpc = 64 bpp
    So if you want 8-bit output with an alpha channel, you'd set the bit depth in AME to 32. If you don't need an alpha channel, set it to 24. Note that AME doesn't have equivalent options for 32 bpc formats. (If it did, the bpp equivalents would be 96 and 128 bpp!) There are very few such codecs anyway.
    2) What effects does "Use Maximum Render Quality" have on a comp? Does it only come into play if your are encoding to a different resolution to the source comp? Will it change the color processing?
    IIRC, the "Use Maximum Render Quality" switch doesn't affect AE comps. It only has an effect when the source is a Premiere Pro sequence. This article has some detail about how the switch affects Premiere Pro sequences:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/10/scaling-in-premiere-pro-cs5.html
    3) Does AME always render at "Full" resolution or does it look at the resolution setting in the AE comp window? What if it's set to "auto"?
    4) Does AME pay attention to the comp window Region of Interest?
    5) Does AME care about the composition motion blur button or does it just look at the layer motion blur settings?
    7) How does AME handle color management? Does it always output in the working space?
    These questions all have the same basic answer. When the AE comp is loaded via Dynamic Link, it will be processed using the state of the comp at the time the AE project was saved. Any switches available in the Timeline panel like Motion Blur will be used in their current state, and there is no control over them from the AME side.
    Keep in mind that comp viewer switches like Region Of Interest and preview resolution aren't a function of the comp itself, and thus aren't seen by AME. They are a function of the Comp viewer panel. (The difference being the same as between a piece of artwork and the glass of the frame. If the glass is warped then the art looks warped. AME only looks at the artwork without the glass.) Color Management, similarly, while controlled at the project level is interpreted via the Comp viewer panel or by AE's Render Queue; AE's color management is not in the chain of processing used by AME. But you can acheive the same color management transforms via AME by using the Color Profile Converter effect and setting the input and output profiles specifically.
    So, what AME sees in an AE comp will be identical to what you see in the Comp panel in AE at full resolution when ROI and any other viewer switches (like the Transparency Grid or guides or color channel selection) are turned off, and without a project working color space being set. From this point the pixels could be affected by AME via scaling or if there is a color space transform inherent to the chosen output format (ex., RGB to YUV).
    6) How does AME decide whether to interlace the render?
    This is defined by the Field Order setting in the AME Output Settings. That seems pretty straightforward to me, so if I'm missing something about your question please clarify.

  • How to change render settings...

    Hello,
    I need help with FCP. I have noticed that I need to render almost every time when I add something or delete something. I wanted to know if there was a way to change the render settings so you don't need to render as much? Thanks very much in advance!

    The faster the Mac you have the more RT playback of unrendered material you get whether from using clips that don't match your sequence settings, or from adding filters to clips. But to make your life easier here, transcoding might help if you are mixing formats... i.e., export any material to the settings you're using in your sequence so that they match. Use the exported files as source...

  • Render settings for Blu-Ray in the UK

    Hi all,
    Bit of a newbie question regarding render settings for Blu-Ray. If I understand correctly, the uk frame rate is 25fps???? And we generally have 1080p TV's etc??? The Blu-ray presets in Media encoder don't offer this and the fact they don't makes me question if I'm not understanding the required settings correctly. ME does offer a 25fps preset but only in 1080i. So, my question is, what should I be rendering to, to then take the rendered file and author it to play on UK blu-ray players. Incidentaly, does anyone have any recommendations on authoring software. I just need to break it down into several seperate categories as well as being able to play the entire movie so the budget is minimal.
    Many thanks for your help.

    Hi, I'm using Mac Blu-rayRipper Pro and iMedia converter as well as Handbrake to get the highest quality transfer from my Blu-ray disks to iTunes and AppleTV. Each disk is a bit of a project as no two are the same in terms of the best method of conversion.
    I've put a few details in my blog post on getting Blu-ray to work on my Mac Pro in the UK. Was a bit of an epic journey in the UK as we don't have all the options available in the USA:

  • Render settings for presentation on computer.

    I am making a presentation of Student interviews for a local high school graduation.  I rendered it down and played it on my Macbook pro, and the words are out of sync.  I used a Canon 5d MK2 (1080p, 30 frames, 48k) It looks great and is in sync in premiere.
    What is the best render setting to keep the highest quality and keep the sync??
    I have tried a few render settings such as h.264 720p 44.1
    The playback will be on my laptop, using quicktime. 
    My laptop has 2gb of ram, with 2.2 core duo processor.
    HELP

    I don't know if these are the highest quality but I didn't have any issues using either H264 widescreen with audio settings at 48k or Quicktime with 48k exporting from PrPro in Windows for playback on a Mac using Quicktime. The Quicktime file didn't look as good using Quicktime player for Windows, and  the H264 looked fine on both QT for PC and Mac. The sync issue could have been from using 44.1 instead of 48k audio.

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.

  • How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

    Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
    My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
    This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
    I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
    The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
    I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
    I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
    If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
    Thanks!

    Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
    This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
    After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
    I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
    MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
    The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
    We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

    All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5.  let us know if you need more help.  Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
    Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder.  Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

  • Is there a way to change the Render Settings to be same as Source?

    My footage is all in the codec I want to deliver in. In this case, XDCAM HD MOV files. I want everything to render to this codec so that I'm not wasting render cycles transcoding to ProRes just to then have to render the whole thing when I output it back to XDCAM HD. Is there a way to have render be alternate codecs? We will be putting graphics on top of the the majority of this footage so it will all have to render an alpha which becomes a large waste of time to do again. FCP7, this would be called 'Sequence Settings'. In FCP X, it seems like you can have separate Timeline settings and Render Settings.
    Also, it should be pointed out that this is for fast turnaround news-style editing, not long format pieces so every minute saved is important.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    You cannot damage your video by transcoding to ProRes 422 or higher quality. You cannot work faster in FCPX with any other codec than ProRes.
    You will be much happier with the performance of FCPX if you transcode to Optimized to edit (or even Proxy Media — just make sure you reset the viewer quality to Optimized/Original before "sharing.")
    The concept of "round-tripping," as in the FCP Studio days, with Motion is "archaic". The Motion "engine" is built into FCPX and compositing is handled right in the storyline/timeline. There is no "rendering alpha" involved anymore. If you have Motion, you can design your overlay graphics *just once* and use them over and over and over again... Your effects will be drag and drop from right within FCPX and you can edit all text right on the Canvas. If you have the processor power and Background Rendering turned on... it should all be "baked" before you're ready to export.
    You have the ability to export out of FCPX in several flavors of XDCAM when you're finished with a project — IF that's what you really need (however, I believe H.264 will look better and play better given the extreme high quality settings FCPX uses when encoding.)
    FCPX will deliver a final product with AT LEAST as good a quality video as was put in. The only way you can screw it up is to leave Proxy Media turned on before exporting.
    As for working fast in FCPX: What used to take me at least 5 days to accomplish in FCP7, I can now do *better* in one (and sometimes, just a few hours.)

  • How to Restore Factory Settings on a Mac?

    How to Restore Factory Settings on a Mac OS X 10.6.8?
    I have been told you can do this without the Installation CD. I also do not remember the installation CD when i got the laptop. If it's possible then please someone let me know! if not then how can i get a new CD to do this?
    my computer keeps freezing on me at random times, and i have tried taking the laptop to my college tech support and also Best Buy and they said they can't do anything and that i need to try resetting the mac.

    You may not remember the installer disks but they came in the box. Your profile shows you are running 10.6.6 Snow Leopard. To restore back to factory settings you need those disks. That said to go that route may be unnecessry. Stay away from Best Buy tech people. They know nothing. Without the disks you do a repair disk to see if that helps:
    Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line.
    Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    At the command-line prompt type:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.

    FCP's sequence set to 8 bit SD uncompressed (not 10 bit YUV-although the clips are 10 bit uncomp, this is how the facility house wants it).
    Do Motion's render settings matter if the clip arrives back in FCP as a .motn? For instance doMotion's view menu (options field rendering (altF) & draft/normal/best) and the Motion project settings(8 bit/float etc) make any difference or does FCP 8 bit sequence video processing setting override?

    and additionally, why do luma levels come back from Motion clipped? As I understand it, Motion will convert to RGB and clip levels above 100%, but its done it to everything by about -10%. Strange, think I'll stick to QT exports in future, you know exactly where you stand
