A PROBLEM WITH Live Effect Suite

I just using the TwirlFilter to learn the Live effect suite. just find a problem in it. when aply an effect the "AI Live Effect Go Live" will be call twice!!!!
the first was called when
error =sLiveEffect->UpdateParameters( pb->context );
is run
the other was when finished doing it.and this time the message' artwork is a little at rect at the bottom of the page which was don't creat by user!!!!!
so ,how can igore it?
and I just don't know how to use ExecuteLiveEffect, EditParameters.anyone who can send me am example about it ? thank your very much!
and Merry CHRISTMAS.

The second time, it is being called to render the thumbnail being displayed in the appearance palette. If you hide the appearance palette or hide the thumbnail (choose "Hide Thumbnail" from the palette's flyout menu), then you should see the second call disappear. Most live effects have no reason to ignore it.
Hope that helps,
-Frank

Problem with After Effects crashing machine when rendering

Ive been having a repeated problem with after effects crashing when I try to render a sequence.
The render halts then first After Effects becomes unresponsive then every other applications follows and I have to hard-restart my machine.
Can anyone help me find out how to stop this happening?

i - Illl try to answer these bellow...
What exact version of After Effects? Include the minor version number---e.g., After Effects CC (12.2.1) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4). Do not just say "After Effects with the latest updates" or "After Effects CC"; give the specific version number.
Ive just updated it - I have After Effects CC 13.2.0.49
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Just don'e this - not tried to render since
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Late Mac operating system Yosamete 10.10.1 (14B25)
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
There is no error message
What were you doing when the problem occurred? What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
Performing a render, the render gets partially through but stops at different parts and hangs, then the computer hangs and I have to hard reset.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time?
I had a similar problem two days ago, i thought it could be a problem with some animated png sequences and a "matte feather" effect so i replaced the sequences with non animated versions and it seemed to fix the problem.

Problem with keyframe effect - at start and end (crop and scale)

I'm having this odd problem with keyframe effects.
Setup:
I have a gif image that I have on video 1 for say 2 minutes.
I have my real video on video 2. It is a person talking.
First I start with my video full size on top of video 1.
Though the motion and cropping keyframe management I slowly reduce the scale and crop my video image so that it is reduced to the lower left bottom of the screen, on top of the gif, which is now revealed.
My problem is at the start and end of the transition from full video to small box on lower left on top of my gif I often get 1-2 frames where the video goes blank and/or I get a bunch of random red bars on black background appearing on the video - Or I get the gif from video 1 without the video 2 at all (it disappears).
I've tried moving my start of end of the transition to skip the bad spots - but these new transition starts or ends not get their own bad spots in the same way. Its only a couple of frames but it's really unacceptable for the finished video.
Note, when I say transition here I don't mean real transition events, but rather the start of effects that are managed with keyframes. My move from start to end of the effect runs for about 4-6 seconds.
Any ideas?

Bill,
Here is more detail and screen captures.
Concept:
I have 3 minutes of video. It contains a person making a speech. During parts of the speech I want to reveal a graphic image that will be discussed. The speech will begin with the speaker full screen. Half way in, the speaker will shrink down to 45% in the lower left corner of the screen. While the animation occurs (the shrink, move and cropping) it will reveal the graphic below. The graphic will take up the full screen with the speaker at 45%.
Technique:
I put the video in Video 2 and the graphic, a GIF image in Video 1. The scene begins with the speaker talking at full screen. After a minute, I animate the move of the speaker using Motion: Scale and Position and Effect: Crop changing Top, Bottom, Left and Right sides. The animation occurs over approximately 8 seconds.
I am manually adding keyframes at the start and end of the animation. I set the ending state of the video image in the end keyframes. The interpolation between these start and end keyframes should be managing the animation.
Problem:
At the beginning and end of the animation – usually 1-3 frames from the start and 1-3 frames from the end, where the change has barely begun or almost ended, I get these problems. On some frames, the video (in Video 2) completely disappears only showing the Video 1 GIF image below. On other frames, the video image turns black with horizontal red bands half way across.
Troublshooting:
I’ve tried deleting all start and end keyframes and moving the start and end earlier or later to see if I can fix this, but the problem continues to show up in these new locations.
I have added a few screen shots.
1:32:15 is the start of the animation change and 1:40:22 is the end of increasing from the mini video speaker to full size (on top of the GIF).
At 1:40:16 the video image completely disappears only showing the GIF below.
At 1:40:17 its back and slowly increases in size through the interpolation until it is full size at 1:40:22.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks!

I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator CS6

Hi everybody
I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator
1. When you go to to effects > effect Gallery the the sketch filter always is black and white. Is this normal? In Photoshop you can set your background and foreground and the sketch effects takes those colors. Is there any way to do this in Illustrator? I have tried changing the colour of the fill and stroke but nothing...
2. In the same area as before effects > effect Gallery .... In Photoshop you can add multiple filters with the create new button. Always is off is there anyway to make it available? or the only way is to by creating several individual ones and manage then in the appearance panel ...
3. I saved a brush library and now it appears in the user defined area so I can get it in any document, that is good but any one knows how to delete a user undefined library?
Many thanks in advance for the help .... I look forward for the reply =)

I see that it is six months ago that I first posted this. Nothing has changed. When I use affixa to create a message with an attachment from my gmail account in firefox, the message is created in drafts, but the gmail window is closed and I have to re-open it. Not critical, but annoying.
Now there is a plug-in on the affixa site that is supposed to be designed for Firefox, and which affixa support claims should take care of this. And I've downloaded it twice. When you download it and open it, it says that it will be installed when Firefox restarts, and gives you a button to restart Firefox. But after you click that button and firefox disappears and re-appears, the affixa plug-in is NOT in the plugin list.
Please, somebody, HELP.

Problem with After Effects CC 12.1

Hello,
I have a problem with After Effects CC ver.12.1. It does not work on my mac (with os x mavericks).
I am a member of Cretive Cloud and I have a latest version of After Effects and it does not work.
Other programs, like: Photoshop, Adobe Premiere or Illustrator works fine.
But when I run the AE I get the message "You can not start After Effects -10810"
Where is the problem?

Same here, I get these messages - I'm confused as to why it says version 12.0 as it should be 12.1!

Still the same problem with Live update 2

I still have the same problem with Live update 2.
I've downloaded newer Bios update but it's 13 MB... it's obvious that I can not have
in floppy disk and I'm a little bit uncomfortable of updating bios from CD-rom .
But what else can I do, besides updating Bios to get out of this Live update from start-up.
Should I clear CMOS?

13mb are you really sure ?
go here instead.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=436&kind=1
the download file is around 300kb.
make sure you get the right file.
you did not specify if you got L or ILRS.
also dont use live update.
get drivers from http://www.nvidia.com instead.

Problems with saving effects

Hi,
I am using Fireworks 8... I have been trying to save the

Is the effect you are trying to save a Fireworks live effect,
or is it
produced by a third party plugin?

TS4436 Problem with camera effects.. Browsed my gallery all my photo effects gone ?

Hey !! Just noticed before uploading pictures that all my effects I'd applied on camera shots have returned to natural or no effect when I browsed the gallery , when you click edit however the picture is with the effect I started with and you cannot re apply it unless you change it ... Anyone else having this problem ??

I have te same unfortunate problem. Only happens in iPad. cameraRoll.browseForImage() opens a new window but wherever I touch (on folders, or anywhere on the window or out of the window) it dispatches a Cancel event and closes window.
I tried to dispatch flash.events.Event.DEACTIVATE, from nativeStage and from cameraRoll, before and after calling cameraRoll.browseForImage() , but still it was behaving same as above.
I tried setting displayState as:
Starling.current.nativeStage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
But no help neither.
It doesn't show any error, I don't have any other solutions to come up with. I feel that somehow I need to invoke application to deactivate, to let my touches focus on CameraRoll window, but I don't know how to do this actually (I tried to dispatch DEACTIVATE event from various sources but I dont believe it is an effective way of doing it).
I use AIR 16.0 with Starling, test on iOS 8.1.

Problem with Live View being slow

Since the latest update it now takes up to 20 seconds for the live view to appear in Dreamweaver. Is this usual - anyone else having this problem, How can I solve it? it's like working in mud!

It may just be a temporary issue on their server. That's one of the main problems with referencing files you don't own, you are at the mercy of the owner's server status.
If you can, I would suggest getting a copy of the font files you are using and keeping them on your own server to reference instead, it may cost you extra, but it's worth it.
To be honest, I've never used Typekit and don't even know if that's possible, but I've had similar issues with Google Fonts in the past and will download fonts to be stored on my own systems now whenever it's critical that they are available whenever the website is (doesn't happen often, but).
You just need both a .ttf and .otf version of the font to ensure it works when using the @font-face css rule. Converting a .ttf to .otf is pretty simple and can be done in a lot of places online. You would need to check with Typekit's user agreements to see if that's possible, but Google's are all open source and can be modified however you see fit.

Problem with Live Office Web Services

Hi@all,
we have a problem with the Live Office connection options.
The Webservice URL entry has an error: "Verion conflict: Your Live office client needs a newer version of Business Objects Web Services".
I have installed the newest SP (SP3) for XI 3.1 for my Live Office Client and for the BO client tools but it do not work. Has anybody an idea?
Thanks.
Thomas

Any solution for this? We have the same issue.
Got resolved by recreating the webi document from scratch and the live connections.
But this issue really scares me as I have did not see any reason for this to happen and it is very inconsistant.

Problem with After effects present text animations

When I want to use the text animation presets I get an error message, an example is when I want to use a text "animate in" preset and got the following error message: After Effects error: Can't import file "Fly In From Bottom.ffx": unsupported filetype or extension. ( 0 :: 1 ). I have check my bridge script settings and they are activated for After effects.

Sounds like you are trying to import a FFX file instead of applying an animation preset. Some users are reporting problems with Bridge. Just type the name of the animation preset into the Effects and Presets panel and apply it from inside AE.

Problem with Live Trace?

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with Live Trace which I've never encountered before. It could just be my inexperience with Ilustrator, but every time I click Live Trace, the image turns all black. I've tried different presets, and this doesn't change anything. The image I've imported is a Photoshop file so it should work, and has worked before.
Anybody had this before? Any suggestions?
Kind Regards,
Jack

I'm working through a Classroom in a book in CS4 Illustrator, so the image shouldn't be a problem as its specific for that exercise. The image is a PSD of a snowboarder so unable to upload to the thread.
Tracing Options: Preset: Default, Mode: Black & White, Threshold: 128, Trace Settings: Fills (though Strokes and Fills or just stokes on preview mode still keep the image black). View: Raster: No Image, Vector: Tracing Result, Path Fitting: 2px, Blur: 0px, Resample: 200px, Corner Angle 20, Minimum Area: 10px.

Problem with After Effects startup: "empty" panels

Hi,
I'm experiencing a wicked problem with AE CS4. First of all, it crashes frequently, most recently every time when trying to RAM preview a composition which used CC Particle World-effect. The main problem occurs when I start AE again after a crash. I get the following startup image:
And then comes this:
It seems that AE is actually "working" correctly, it's only that it doesn't show anything on screen. Sometimes it returns to normal if I close Photoshop, Illustrator, Firefox or Spotify. Sometimes I have to close all of them and then restart AE. Right now I tested restarting AE after about 15 minutes after the above images were captured without closing any other programs, and surprisingly it's running fine now. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I think that this after-crash-problem has occured before even with compositions which do not have Particle World applied.
I'm not exactly a wizard with computers, but I'm guessing this has got something to do with my graphics card? I'm running Windows XP with Intel Core i7 processor, 3 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 graphics card. Oh, and I always have OpenGL disabled in After Effects.
Any advice how to get rid of this annoying bug? Also, if anyone has any insight about the Particle World crashing on me, I'd appreciate the help. I read somewhere about a similar problem with Macs, but nothing with Windows PC.
Cheers!

Thanks for the replies!
I was so sure it wasn't because the amount of apps running in the background, since crashes and the "after-crash-problems" didn't happen all the time. The computer is my employer's, and I think it was built with 64 bit Windows 7 in mind. For a reason I don't know they decided to go with XP after all, which is kind of weird since there actually is 6 GB RAM inside, but XP can use only half of that amount. Now I guess I just have to start harassing my boss to buy me a 64 bit Win 7.
Todd, I have the latest update installed. Do you think the CC Particle World crash happens also because of low RAM and all this Edsel-thing (had to look that one up!)? I have used the effect many times before with the same computer with no problems at all.

Starting Problems with After Effects

Hi, here is Marc from Germany!
Today I bought my 1 year membership for the creative cloud. Now I have some problems with starting After effects. First of all, after downloading the program reported Error U44M1P7. I ignored it and opened the program. After 5 minutes, it showed me the next problem: A plug in could not be opend After Effects CC\Support files\(Media Core plug ins)\Common\ImporterJEPG.prm. I klicked OK an saw the next error "The plug in Anywhere2.aex , MediaBrowse.aex , RQ Monitor.aex coulnd't be loaded, (39§ 23) is not supporting and finaly "After effects can't work" - end of my story.
I hope you can help me as soon as possible!
Thank you!

Ohne vernünftige Systeminformationen wird das nix. Entweder werden die Plugins blockiert oder die Hardware ist nicht kompatibel mit den entsprechenden hardwarebeschleunigten Funktionen für Videodekodierung und Anzeige. Ansonsten:
Installation failed. Error U44M1P7 | Updates
Auch gut möglich, dass das Ujpdate einfach in die hose gegangen ist und dadurch inkompatible Komponenten entstanden sind. einfach das Cleaner Tool drüber und neu installieren.

Problems with timewarp effect!

I am very new to more advanced software for cinematography. I found this timewarp effect in After Effects that works just AMAZING! My problem was by default it cuts the end of my video when I attempt to dramatically slow it down. (Again still does an amazing job!) I've searched all over the Adobe website including the help files and forums, but nothing that anyone suggested worked. I applied time remapping before I used the timewarp effect. Nothing changed! I time stretched the video and applied timewarp at 100% to prevent cutting. Timewarp didn't work! So if any professional can help me here and explain my dilemma and a solution in the easiest words possible, that would be most appreciated. One other note: Anyone know the best place to get online tutorials (possibly free)? Thanks. Please respond.
