Adobe SpeedGrade CC - Mask follows tracking, but effects within mask do not

I'm color grading a project from Adobe Premiere Pro CC using the direct link to Adobe SpeedGrade CC, current versions.
I have applied a primary and second layer, and within the secondary layer, I've created a mask to isolate color grading to a specific area of a person's face. Once the mask is shaped, I use the automatic 'track object' function, verify correctness, then I begin grading.
Upon finishing the grade, I have noticed that the mask itself tracks the clip correctly, but the effects that exist within the mask never move. They stay in the same location as they began in the first frame.
Is this a bug, or could someone let me know how to 'tether' the effects from within the mask to follow the boundaries of the mask?
The URL below is an image dramatization of what I'm seeing in the software.

Thanks for any assistance!

Hey Joost I've experienced that issue before but this is a separate issue (nice to know that work around though!).
The video has not been transformed or scaled. This issue is that when you change the shape of a mask by tracking the actual mask area does not change.
See attached image for an example.

The video files from Colin Smith's Adobe Speedgrade tutorial are solid green but other video files work.

Howdy,
I downloaded the project files for Colin Smith's Speedgrade tutorial but all the video files show as solid green and have a frame rate of 0.01 to 0.00 from within premiere Pro CC14 but they play fine on VLC player. I tried to download and unzipped the files multiple times with the same result. Other MP4 content works fine on the Premiere Pro timeline.
Thanks,

Hi,
I suggest you to post this issue on the Premiere Forum, I am afraid we can't really help on this one.
Thanks,

Adobe Acrobat Standard v 8 works, but print-to-PDF does not

I've been trying to migrate my main computer usage from an XP desktop to a Windows 7 laptop. I've had Acrobat Standard v 8 on both computers for years but have rarely used the laptop. (I mostly used the laptop as a dumb terminal to reach through the internet to my desktop.) Now I'm determined to make the laptop into my daily WORKING computer.
I see that Acrobat Standard works on the laptop (opens files, deletes pages, etc.) but I cannot print anything to PDF. When I try to print (from Notepad, Word, or anything) the "Adobe PDF" printer shows as my default printer. But nothing happens. It doesn't ask for a filename and the printer window (?) shows error on printing.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Standard 8 in January 2013 when it had stopped working altogether (opening a PDF would flash open then close/crash) which was probably caused by "a friend" installing an unlicensed (or wrongly licensed) version of Microsoft Office 2010. I uninstalled all of that mush and put a new version of Office on (2013, licensed). I don't recall if the print-to-PDF has worked since; but I suspect not.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I'm afraid to uninstall and reinstall the whole Acrobat again. Someone once told me that you can only re-activate your license so many times and then one day it won't reactivate. And since my version is so old and has been reinstalled after virus cleanups (reformatting system disks), I don't know if Tech Support will fix that sort of activation problem. That last thing I want to do is use new software, or have to go to a non-Adobe PDF editor when I already have software paid for. And yes, I have the original Acrobat Standard v 8 CDs.

1. I don't care about the button in Word; just trying to get a PRINT-TO-PDF function going.
2. The CD installed 8.0.0 even though I have 8.1.4 on my other computer (the XP desktop I'm trying to make obsolete). I will try to find upgrade downloads somewhere.
3. I tried to use the original CD and do a "Repair" option (not remove nor install). It went through the motions and would come up with an error. So I googled and found the article titled "Error "The file AdobePDF.dll is needed" | CS3 | 64-bit Windows" (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html) and applied the directions for Windows 7 64-bit version (which my laptop is), but the fix didn't work.
Still researching, and #2 above looks like the best next course of action.

Is there a way to track the time within the clip (not sequence) that you're in?

Let me try to explain this as best I can and make sense.
I watched a video clip and I liked everything from, let's say the :30 mark to the minute mark. So, I import it into Premiere.
However, when I put it at the end of the next clip, it shows the time for the whole sequence. Now, I know that I can do the math, but is there a way to show where the 30 second mark (in this example) is by avoiding doing the calculation? It's do-able, but seems a little tedious.
Would like to "reset the clock" so to speak when working on individual clips within the timeline.

Choose the edit points in the Source Monitor before inserting to the Sequence.
You can see the duration of the In and Outs in the Monitor .

After Effects error : layer does not have a source.

Hi All,
I add a Text layer and then add my custom fill effect to it. Then I call AdvItemSuite1()->PF_ForceRerender(in_data, &(params[0]->u.ld)) from AEGP for all the layers. But only for Text layer, AE pops up a dialog displaying the following error :
After Effects error : layer does not have a source.
(26::335)
Why is this happening? What other call can I use to rerender all the layers?
Thanks & Regards,
Dheeraj

For now just added a dummy parameter in the effect and calling AEGP_SetStreamValue() to render all the layer with effect.
I also have experienced problems with PF_ForceRerender(),
AEGP_SetStreamValu() seems like an alternative solution...

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.

I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message ' not enough processor power.' I've tried freezing all tracks but this seems to have no effect. I've also bounced all soft synths to audio.

I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message 'not enough processor power' and the computer stops playing
I've tried freezing all tracks but this has no effect. I've also bounced all soft synth tracks to audio, but to no avail. The computer stops playing
even at the start of the track where there is nothing but a kick drum happening.......

Thank you for the suggestions.
I had previously tried all of the above but the airport/wireless thought. Unfortuneately, none of these things made a difference, including the wireless suggestion.
Currently, I am using my Mac's "cheapo" internal audio hardware (haha). I have a one year old 27-inch iMac, a good pair of bose speakers, and a polk sub. I don't believe it is an issue with my setup, considering I completely disconnected and unplugged it.
I did, however, do a little info hunting on the internal audio situation, since I was curious what is actually included, and I stumbled upon this interesting little tidbit about my model of iMac:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2718054?start=0&tstart=0
I had previously wondered if I was hearing my mouse in my speakers as well (not just in logic). It appears that this model of iMac may have some grounding issues, as someone later in the thread suggested purchasing and using a ground loop isolator, which seemed to fix any extra interference for them.
Ironically though, I have since opened logic, and do not seem to be encountering my previous static issue(yet).
Fingers crossed, hoping that I will not be experiencing it again. Going to purchase a ground loop isolator, and continue to mess around with logic, just to make sure it was not just an internal audio issue with my iMac.

After editing i can hear effects over tracks but not the tracks themselves?

after editing and saving as a garage band file i can hear the first two tracks in their entirety, but not the other 8 (except for the reverb over them). if i kill the reverb over these tracks then only silence remains. input, output and monitoring options are identical for all ten tracks. all my edits are still there, including automated volume and pan. please help

Hello, I am having the same problem. With some exceptions (and this is what's throwing me off) I can hear reverb and echo on tracks but not tracks themselves. I have tried adding echo/reverb to some of the muted tracks and I can hear these effects fine. Yet I have 2 tracks without any effects at all and I can hear those ones fine (there are 12 tracks in all). Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my senior project and I am due to present on Thursday, June 5.

Problems with Adobe Speedgrade CS6 in Windows 7

I am having problem with Adobe Speedgrade CS6 on my Windows 7 machine with the following specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
Gateway FX 6800-01e
2.67 GHz i7 Quad-core processor
16.0 GB RAM
750GB primary hard drive (Seagate ST3750528AS)
2 - 2TB secondary hotswap drives
NVidia Quadro 4000 w 2GB dedicated RAM
2 Acer 231SHL HD monitors running in extended dual screen mode
Adobe Speedgrade 6.0.4x25
It takes almost 3 minutes to open and when it does open it is slow to respond. After trying to troubleshoot it through driver updates, etc., I have done a totally clean reinstall of Windows 7, updated drivers where applicable, and disabled all malware and antivirus protection to rule out interference. I have also tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I have also applied the latest update through the program interface. The other components of the suite I have installed are:
Premiere Pro CS6
After Effect CS6
Acrobat XI
Audition
Bridge
Photoshop (32-bit and 64-bit versions)
Lightroom 4.3
Prelude
The other components, including Premiere and After Effects open fine with no problem. I would appreciate any assistance with this problem that might be offered, as I am frustrated and stumped. Thanks in advance!

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

First Day With Adobe SpeedGrade CC with Direct Link

I thought it would be interesting to share my first day using the new Adobe SpeedGrade CC with everyone. Most would be embarrassed to do this, not me.
This is NOT a tutorial, but more of a way to show you what I am struggling with and what I like. So if you are having your first day with this program you might run in to similar items.
Perhaps even a product manager from Adobe might watch this and help him what they should work on next.
Issues I had:
Where are the Curves adjustments?
How do I sharpen an image?
Can you use the tracker backwards?
Why didn’t my track work?
Playback at 10fps (not real time with my Monster Computer)
How do you blend layers?
How do you zoom into the timeline?
Things I love:
Doesn’t crash like Resolve
DIRECT LINK!!!! Love it!
2 up and 3 up for shot matching.
No more XML and EDL!!!!

Dave,
I'm basically a noob here too ... only been working with this for what, 5 months?
Yea ... would LOVE the option to switch to a curves-based control, one each for luminosity/R-G-B at the least. I've put in a feature-request for that, as have apparently some others. Maybe next year in ... oh well.
Also ... you might have noted, there's no skin line in the vectorscope! Ridiculous, and that's ALSO been feature-requested by people ... again, maybe next year in ... oh well.
Still ... but dang this program does work fast in concert with P-Pro as your NLE. One bit of advice. In a P-Pro/Sg/Ae workflow, the link from/to P-Pro and Speedgrade works perfectly well both ways. HOWEVER ... your Sg grades do not come into Ae if you send the project from P-Pro to AfterEffects. Now ... if you save your P-Pro projects with it's Sg grades ... then open Ae and use its Dynamic Link feature to pull a P-Pro project into Ae, your grades from Sg come in just fine thank you.
And anything you do in Ae comes into Sg on a different layer that you aren't allowed to 'touch', so you can do fx work afore grading and see how the footage looks including the fx, but you can't touch the fx layer of the timeline (other than to turn on/off visibility in the monitor) to do anything to it.
Still ... easy workarounds, NO time to transcode/export/import ... glory hallelujah!

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
Please review the following that I excerpted from an older post here regarding Adobe's PRE_help comments about Hollywood Effect and mention of
Red Noir. Does any of the following apply to any of what is happening to you.
- Whenever I try to add an effect from the Hollywood Looks menu, it brings up a warning that all my previous effects on that clip will be deleted. However it will let me add those same effects *after* applying Hollywood Looks.
This is because of how the Hollywood Looks are designed to be used. Since these are effect presets (multiple effects in combination) that result in a specific "look"; they are best applied in isolation. If any previous effect is applied and we still allow a Hollywood effect to be applied, we will not be able to see what the effect does clearly. For e.g. if you already have a Gaussian Blur effect applied to your clip, and then we allow you to apply the "Red Noir" Hollywood effect, the fact that the "Reds" in the scenes will be highlighted and the others converted to B/W will not be clearly seen since the content is already blurred out. So any previously applied effects was designed to be removed. This holds good even if you apply a Hollywood look "on top of" another one. The previous one will be replaced. Having said that, you can customize the look further by either tweaking an already applied filter or by adding a newer effect on top. That is the reason you can apply an effect on top of the Hollywood Effects and not vice versa.
Please review and consider and then we can proceed from there if necessary.
