Adjustment Layer is a white solid

I am having a very strange issue adding an adjustment layer I can't resolve. I have added adjustment layers thousands of times, but have never had this happen. I am using CS5 and in one of my comps when I add an adjustment layer it appears as a white solid instead of the usual completely transparent adjustment layer. Even when I copy and paste an adjustment layer that is appearing correctly from another layer, that pasted one behaves the same way and simply becomes a white solid. I have quit AE just to see if it was weird hiccup, but that comp still behaves them same way.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks for the replies you guys. It's not hardware related Mylenium. My machine was purpose built for AE work and this is a very simple comp that is nothing remotely as intensive as some of the truly complex and effects ladened projects I've done before. It's even simpler than the one in the same project where the other adjustment layer is working properly. The layer is going white before an effect is even being added, so it's not that. I'll double check the OpenGL when I can get back on my machine in a bit, but I never changed anything before changing comps, so I don't think that's it.
I'm guessing that it is probably related to the layer settings itself. There's no 3D layers so it's not that Dave. I'm going to check Rick's idea when I can because the white solid behavior sounds exactly what he is talking about.

  • New Adjustment layer vs. new solid and turn on adj icon

    Hello All,
    Is it safe to say that an Adjustment layer is just a solid layer named Adjustment Layer with the black and white adjustment icon activated and that defaults to a Solid Setting that is comp size and white in color.
    thanks

    That's close. Any layer can be turned into an adjustment layer, not just a a solid-color layer. When you create a new adjustment layer with the Layer > New > Adjustment Layer command, it creates a regular white solid-color layer as you describe and then turns the Adjustment Layer switch on for that layer.

  • Cc opacity keyframe on black and white adjustment layer doesn't work

    hi
    i use premiere cc under w8.1 pro
    well i noticed a strange behavior
    i added an adjustament layer , black and white effect , and several keyframes
    seems that premiere reads only the first one
    for example
    1) keyframe -> @0%  the second keyframe @100%  the video is all in color ,doesn't matter how many keyframes i add
    2) first key @100% second @0% (opacity) the video is all in black and white , again doesn't matter how many keyframes i add , only the first is read
    i tried the black and white effect , on video ,titles and so on and it works perfectly , it doesn't work on the adjustament layer
    i tried others effects on adjustament layer and they work
    is a bug ?
    is there an known bug in prev. versions?
    thanks

    thanks i do it, saturation
    but can't understand why this happen with adjustament layer only
    may i know which cc version do you use?
    sometime i think to buy c6 , i have cc subscription

  • I added an adjustment layer. Now it only letting me export as AAF?!

    What does that mean? Alpha channel? I added an adjustment layer, black and white effects to my entire video. Now its only letting me export as AAF. It's also asking me whether to "embed audio" or "save as legacy file". What in the world does that mean and what should I choose? This is just a draft to show to client.

    Ann, when I go to Export, I only get "AAF" and "Final Cut Pro XML" options...I don't see "Media" so that I can choose my options. In one movie, I have an adjustment layer on top of all movie. To make the movie black and white.
    But another movie is just plain. And still I get only "AAF".
    The first tim I went to export this movie, regular, I exported as .mov Now it's not letting me do that. What's going on? I have to show this to my boss in few hours...
    Thank you so much.

  • Adjustment layer not applying grain to white solid?

    Hey all,
    I have a few layers underneath a composition that I want to add grain to, including a white layer which really needs the grain. For some reason, no grain showing up on the white layer through the adjustment layer. Here is a screenshot, does anyone have any idea why?
    Thanks!
    Note: The level of grain has been exaggerated so you can see that it is not being applied to the white solid.

    You just needed to explore more of the controls. Under Application in the effects control panel, change the blend mode of the grain to Add to add grain to everything. If you don't want to add grain to the blacks, change to Multiply. This makes perfect sense. The default application is Film and over exposed (white) areas of film have no grain.

  • Cross-dissolve from white frame to adjustment layer no longer works in CC 2014

    Windows 7, Premiere Pro CC 2014
    I have a video clip in a nested sequence on V1 and an adjustment layer on V2.
    I want to dissolve from a white frame to the clip using the adjustment layer.
    In PP CC (not 2014) this was simple:
    Starting with a white PNG graphic on V2, cross-dissolve to the adjustment layer.
    However, in PP CC 2014, this causes a dissolve to BLACK over the duration of the dissolve and then a CUT to the video.
    This behavior in CC 2014 is illogical. Why has it changed?
    There are other ways to do this, but this one was quick and easy, and is required for hundreds of clips in existing sequences / projects.
    Response from support via live chat:
    thank you for your patience
    the adjustment is layer is not functioning properly
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
    please mention it in the feature/bug request form

    For me with a color matte it shows exactly the same behavior as with a PNG.
    You're dissolving between the matte and the adjustment layer on V2?

  • CS4: Black-and-White adjustment layer - no Saturation slider?

    Hi. The modal dialogue for Black and White has the "Colorize" option and for that "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders.
    But Black and White as an adjustment layer in the adjustments palette does NOT offer the Saturation slider. At least not in my CS4 Extended on Win XP. There is the targeted adjustment tool (TAT), but it changes color, not saturation.
    Can that be or am i missing something?
    Thanks!

    The interesting thing is that there is an colorization saturation adjustment slider in the imag-adjustment-black and white dialog as shown below.
    The lack of that slider in the adjustment panel is a bug in CS4. It was present in CS3.
    Adobe should fix that because it is really usefull because it's non-destructive and can be set as a preference.
    The cumbersome workaround is to add a hue saturation adjustment layer.

  • PS not allowing me to add a Black & White Adjustment layer

    Hi,
    Hope you're well.
    There is a photo I've downloaded from the Internet that is by a photographer who shoots in Black & White. However, when I print out the photo it comes out sepia. I tried adding a Black & White Adjustment layer, but when I go to click on the button in the adjustment palette it's grayed out. I've tried this on other photos of the photographer and does it fine.
    Any idea what is going on and how it can be resolved? Thanks!

    Well, let's assume you are in Grayscale. But just to be sure, open the image and look at the document title bar, it should read something like Gray/8. This indicates your color mode (other modes can be RGB, CMYK, Index and others...). The color settings are found Edit>Color Settings. But don't worry about those for the time being.
    Can you give the specs for your printer? Inkjet printers use all colors in printing a grayscale image. Ideally, they do this in percentages that create a neutral tone on the paper. If some of the nozzles are clogged, or if you have wrong choices in the Print Dialog, you will definitely see a color cast. Printing only with black ink will not yield photo-quality results.
    Make sure the most recent driver for the printer is installed.
    Also, what version of Photoshop on what OS?

  • Unsharp Mask on Adjustment Layer crushing whites during fade?

    I'm using Premiere CS6 with video footage from a Canon T2i. However, the issue appears regardless of the video source.
    When I apply a Film Dissolve to a clip in the timeline, then add an Adjustment Layer with an Unsharp Mask on a track above the clip, the whites in the clip appear to become crushed over the length of the transition, while still fading to black. This does NOT happen if I use a Sharpen filter instead of an Unshark Mask, and if I apply the Unsharp Mask to the clip directly instead of using an Adjustment Layer. Fading with another clip looks normal as well, the whites only get crushed when fading to black.
    If the problem had to do with the Film Dissolve processing in a linear color space, then I would expect similar results with the Sharpen filter. Likewise, if the problem had to do with the Unshark Mask, then I would expect to see the same thing when it is applied to the clip directly.
    Any ideas? I appriciate the help!

    Looks like a bug. Thanks. I'll escalate it.
    Workaround looks good, so thanks for that too! Nice find.
    PS:

    I think it has to do with blend modes, but can't say for sure.

  • Adjustment Layer staying white and won't apply its effects to layering video?

    Adjustment Layer staying white and won't apply its effects to layering video?
    I was using adjustment layers for color correcting and now my adjustment layer is just staying white and I've looked at so many forums and i can't find what I'm doing wrong...
    I reset my preferences, I made a new project I'm clueless.

    That is After Effects but ..try openig the composition window (TAB)
    You are looking at the AL in Footage Window.

  • Adjustment layer: solid fill

    I don't know java script.
    Also I get the lab values from an excel sheet with applescript.
    I found this java code but it needs the be changed:
    1) I want lab values and the this code generates an RGB color
    2) I need to input the lab values from applescript
    How can I do this?

  • Black and white a adjustment layer not working

    Hi every one. I know this is going to sound really dumb but I am looking to change a color logo to bw. I wanted to use the black and white adjustment layer but the option is greyed out. Is there a step I am missing? The file is cmyk and is 8bit. I am using PS  CS6. What do I need to do to make this option available?

    The only dumb question, is the one you do not ask.

  • Black&White adjustment layer problem

    Hi all,
    When I try to apply a black&white adjustment layer in Photoshop CS3 Ext., I get the dreaded message: "Could not complete yor request because of a program error". This is true for Tiffs and PSDs (8bit multi layered or 8bit flat) but not for jpegs. Is this a bug or a feature? Or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for you time,
    Francois Hendrickx

    Could be a hardware acceleration issue with the b&w effect. Turn off OpenGL to verify. also make sure your adjustment layer is not clipped/ masked/ repositioned/ smaller than your comp. Remeber: The adjustment layer merely defines the area to which the effect will be applied, the actula processing still happens on the buffer below it. For anything else we will need more info ansd screenshots. We do not even know what version of AE you are referring to.

  • PSE8 - Adjustment Layer White and Black droppers grayed out.

    It seems random but sometimes I open a file and select Adjust Layer under guided edit.  Once Adjustment Layer has been selected the levels histogram appears.  Usually all three droppers are available.  Sometimes just the gray dropper.  Any idea what's up?
    TIA.
