Adv. Lightning BUG Video (Because Submitting Bugs is too mainstream)

Hi guys, first, not native english speaker. I'm working around an educational-purposed project, combination of one of Andrew Kramer's tutorial and some imagination. The thing is: Does really Advanced Lightning do what it should do?
I know I should've submitted this through the form, I tried but I don't like forms, too formal, and maybe they didn't even looked at the video I made, where I explain exactly what's happening along with my 3AM Frustration.
I just want you guys to know about this bug, and maybe someone figures somehow a Workaround (I tried many, really), I was a bit mad when I edited the video (5 mins ago, is 3:30AM now ). I fought that plugin for hours? Because I discovered the little bug after I made some work so every change I had to do, had to be made in every comp using the effect...
Seems like Andrew Kramer didn't had this bug so proeminent... Also, it looks like doesn't matter if it's Full Res, Quarter; Adaptive or Fast Draft preview method... 8, 16 or 32 bpc, for me is the same thing, auto-animating lightning....
BTW, Using AE CS6.
Here is the attached video (non-public/unlisted):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho3wdEaAUfE&feature=youtu.be
Also, I saw someone from Adobe replied to a bug post on this forum, that's one of the reasons why I posted here, curious about their reaction also
Good Night!

Exactly that is the problem Rick. For you (and some other) it is working as expected. For me, it goes rogue, and I don't know why and how to fix it...
The first "BUG" I bumped into, was the one at the final of the video, where animating decay on a single effect, makes forks pop, disappear and appear randomly . Reducing forking strenght to 40% may help but then I had to rise other values...
The newer problem here is... After some time, as you can see, lightning simply switches it's state and form, without any keyframes! That's really something I can't adjust from values...
Yes, the Decay motion stops, but there is additional flickering and effects on the forking (random visibility). This makes an effect in some way like instantly moving Direction Point. I'm pretty sure is something wrong with my station as there aren't many whom get this Adv.Light behavior... (I googled before posting, there was one guy who had the same problem but no one could help him )
Thanks for you answer.

    I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?  I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

    If you add a new  slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data),  to an existing presentation then save,  Keynote will only save the new content to the file,  it wont save  pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
    The time  taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

    i found the error!
    little snitch on os x blocks something (i dont know what exact) of adobe in the background. i have no rule defined for adobe in little snitch, so everything of adobe can go out.
    when i stop little snitch, everything works fine - photoshop opens videos without the medialink error, photoshop starts up in seconds and premiere starts without a quicktime error.
    i report the problem also to objective developement to fix this!

  • Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through

    Hi guys,
    I am currently editing videos from my Canon SLR with Adobe Premiere Elements (Windows).
    In the same project, I have only uploaded videos taken the same day with the same equipment. I have been able to process them all normally apart from one. For some reason, when I play this file with a basic video player, everything works fine but when I import it in the Adobe software and play it either through the small window or in the timeline, I have the same problem:
    Everything works fine (audio and video in sync), until it reaches a specific point (totally random as far as I can tell) when the video keeps going but suddenly the sound repeats itself from the beginning of the file (and the audio which would correspond to the video is replaced by it). For you to understand better the problem:
    Video:   ABCDEF
    Audio:   ABCABC
    I have tried opening it in a different project and somehow it happens exactly at the same point.
    I am totally clueless of what it comes from and getting really frustrated!
    Any idea?
    Cheers
    Babs

    Hello, I'm new to using forums like this.  Is it appropriate for me to post that I'm having the same issue?  Also sounds similar to Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through as well.
    My situation is:
    Win7 64-bit, i7 920, 2.67GHz, 8GB RAM
    Multiple Nikon D7000 video clips I've taken play back fine except for the following clip.  In Windows Media Viewer, I have no problem, but in PE10, in the timeline editor, this clip repeats the audio from the beginning starting about 6 minutes into the video.  I have Quicktime version 7.7.5 installed which I noticed was mentioned as a possible culprit in the other thread.
    I've been using my camera primarily for stills, but decided to have my mom tell her story before she wasn't able to.  I'm so frustrated with this problem because I know the audio is just fine since I can play it back synchronized throughout the entire clip in WMV.  I've tried cleaning out PE caches as best I can figure them out and created new projects without any better luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm open to getting a new version of PE or another program if I could believe that I wouldn't run into this issue again.  This seems like such a vanilla problem since all my other clips seem to be fine and this one does too on WMV.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.  I don't really know where else to go to figure this out.

  • Ichat failed to start video because..... not responded

    Hi
    I managed to fix this problem the last time simply by trashing com.apple.ichat.plist and com.apple.ichat.AIM.plis, you can see that discussion under this thread: "geetting error -8"
    For the last year, I have switched to skype but now i have some new ichat buddies who don't want to use skype. Unfortunately it doesn't work again.
    I get the "ichat failed to start video because..... not responded" problem again
    I use SpeedTouch 585i v6... and i have read all the old posts about unbinding SIP etc. but I don't really have access to my router since it has been provided by the ISP, and I don't now the passward and user name to the router.
    Anyhow has apple gotten any smarter about solutions to this problem?
    Thanks for your time,
    Kevin

    Hi Crowncrow,
    Same instructions but change unbind to bind
    As the page says it can be difficult to completely unbind the version 5 and upwards devices.
    In theory the IP phone can be off one ethernet port and the computer another on the Alcatel.
    The binding presumes only one device is going to be doing SIP/VoIP so the binding says it will keep SIP to port 5060
    In practice these devices and some adapters strip out all the SIP data even if it is not addressed to the Phone.
    As the device can be re-set I would try unbinding it and see if it helps.
    Unfortunately there has not been much success with version 5 or 6 firmware anyway and it may not help.

  • 12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10  MacOSX 10.6.8 updated to snow leopard&mountain lion I use adobe flash

    12/13/2014 I suddenly no longer stream videos because of a blocked plug in on my Mac Safari 5.1.10  MacOSX 10.6.8
    updated to snow leopard& mountain lion I use adobe flash. My preferences allow all plug ins.

    If my experience with a similarly aged computer is any indicator, you'll notice an immediately speed hit once you've upgraded to Mavericks. Each OS X update tends to be more memory hungry than the previous and my 2007 iMac wasn't happy with Lion until I upgraded the RAM and at that point Lion performance roughly matched Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion and then Mavericks shaved some speed off again. Mavericks on the 2007 iMac was okay for the most part but switching between applications was slow as was the fileselector.
    My 2009 MBP saw similar slowdowns with Lion but I was above to upgrade it to 8GB which made a big difference. (My iMac was limited to 6GB) but I still saw a significant speed hit with Mt Lion when I tried to run multiple memory intensive applications. Seeing how my wife's MacBook Air dealt with Mt Lion with only 4GB I decided to install an SSD in the MBP and wow what a difference. Tried it with the iMac using a FireWire800 enclosure and saw similar improvement.
    So to boil it down to one sentence, you are going to see a significant speed hit with only 4GB but if you can afford to upgrade your drive to an SSD you'll be amazed at how well that computer can run.

  • IMovie not uploading video because of internet connection

    Hi,
    I made a project in iMovie. When it's time to upload the video to my facebook account, i dealt with same problem again and again.
    When i started my video for uploading to facebook, my video was prepared for uploading and when iMovie was publishing my video to facebook, like after 30% it cancels my video by saying check you server and make sure your computer is connected to internet. I checked my internet connection in the top right bar,it was connected. There was no problem with internet connection. It happened to me for about 2 times, i wasted my time and i am not sure whether i will do it again or not.
    Apple, please fix this problem.
    Thanks

    ... Or do you automatically lose quality when uploading video because you have to convert it to an internet video format like QuickTime or Windows Media. ...
    mostly...
    first of all: Quicktime is no 'codec' ..
    a QT.mov can contain many codecs, all kind of framerates, resolutions, formats ...
    when you hit share/Quicktime/Expert Setting and the blue button again, you should choose 'Quicktime' again and 'Options' ... now, you see many buttons: compressor allows to choose from many codecs.. actual the 'best' is h264 (=QTvers. 7.x. only)... it reduces file sizes dramatically... 'Size' reduces file sizes too, a 320x240 res is just a ¼ of a dv... and you can get rid of some MBs by choosing mono, and lower 'audio res' (e.g.11.5kHz) ...
    it all depends very much of content, what you like to achieve (a musician wouldn't lower audio quality for his demos...), if you prefer speed, compatibility, etc. ...
    just for 'sharing' videos, I recommend youtube, video.google, stage6 etc. - you don't have to care for any settings..
    if you install on your own websites... 'compression' is an art, not only craftship..

  • Could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.

    I was trying to do a photo of mine like in this video but its not working help needed. thanks.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egyLY78H7nE
    When I tried the 3D I got an error message that said (could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.) what does this mean and how can i fix it?

    There was a bug at one time where really simple paths (like a triangle, for example) could cause that error.
    Is your path really simple (I don't plan to go watch the video)?  If so, have you installed the latest update for Photoshop?  That bug may have been fixed already.
    If it's not that, it's possible that if your path is really complex and simply exceeding Photoshop's capability.

  • Could not complete the new 3D extrusion because the path is too complex

    I'm using Photoshop CS6 in Windows 7 64bit. I've seen other posts about a bug if you are trying to complete a 3D extrusion when a triangle is present, but my issue seems even more basic.
    I'm drawing a simple wave shape with the pen tool set to shape, no fill, 1px stroke. I'm simply drawing three points to create a simple sine wave - the idea being to create a wavy piece of 35mm film. The image size is quite big - 6000 x 4000 px. The first time I did it, the rendering worked fine but I didn't like the curve I had drawn, so I stepped back and tried again. Now, whatever I do, I get the "Could not complete because the path is too complex" message.
    Is this a known bug and are there any workarounds to create a single pixel wide wavy shape in 3D that looks like a piece of film.
    Steve

    I have run across this also, but my path was more complex.  As far as creating a single pixel wavy shap, I would use the depth map 3D feature of  converting a depth map to a plane.  Create a gradient in 32bit mode, so the transistion are smooth, and then go to the 3D menu and select new mesh from depth map>plane.  You can later go in and edit the depth map to tweak it.

    My daughter's iPhone 3gs has just been replaced by Apple. When she tried to restore her backup files she was told to upgrade to itunes 10, but she can't because her Macbook is too old to run it. What do we need to do to get all her stuff onto the new phone?

    Here's what I'd do, go back to the Apple store, take the phone & computer. Ask the geniuses how to fix this since they replaced the phone. You never know, they may just update the computer for free...its happened before...can't gurantee it will happen for you, but worth a try.
    Otherwise, you're looking at purchasing a retail copy of Leopard, however if her computer can handle Snow Leopard you can purchase the $29 upgrade disk & install a full copy of SL.
