AE "Format Options" Trouble

Hi everyone, I currently have After Effects CS3, and recently I have been having trouble with the render queue. By default, the output module is set to Lossless. When I get in to the output module and try to click on the "Format Options" button, AE freezes. Now I noticed that this happens for a lot of the different formats that I choose, but not all of them. For instance, the mpeg, wmv, adobe clip notes, and other formats cause AE to freeze. On the other hand, avi and the mov format work just fine. For the adobe clip notes format though, I don't even have to click on the format options button to make AE freeze, I just have to select that format and AE freezes. I really need help! It's very important that I be able to use the wmv format in particular. Thanks for any help.
P.S. when I choose a color or move the center point of an effect, say the lens flare effect, the final image should automatically update in the comp window. But it doesn't for me. Also, when I try to change these effect parameters, a white outline of the layer appears. It would be really great if someone could tell me how to fix this problem too. The automatic update feature is very important for my work, and having it be disabled is most annoying. Is there a keyboard shortcut to fix that or something?
Thanks again,
Colbyashi

Alright, if there’s anyone who know how to fix the following problem, I need their help. This is a very serious problem and I’m getting nowhere. Please help me with this:
I can’t access the format options in the output module of the render queue for the following formats: wmv, adobe clip notes, mpeg, h.264, adobe flash video, and real media. Every time I try, after effects freezes. For some of the formats, all’s I have to do is select them as the output format and AE freezes. I don’t even have to select the format options button. I’m running on a Dell Vostro VOSTRO_410
Intel Core2 Duo CPU
E8400 @ 3.00GHz
2.99GHz, 3.25 GB of RAM
Windows XP Pro Service Pack3 with After Effects CS3 8.0.2.27.
I've attached a screenshot of what AE looks like when it's frozen. Notice the bar at the top of the screen where the minimize, maximize, and close buttons are. It looks brighter than normal, like I'm not in the program.
I really need help with fixing this problem. Please, if anyone can help I’d appreciate it.

How to provide text formatting options to user from a text field

Hi,
My requirement is - in the interactive form, a comments field needs to be provided where user should be able to enter text with formatting options like
Headers
indentations
bold/italic
bullet points and numbers
Once user enters the formatted texts in a text field, data needs to be displayed/printed in the same format. Could you help me on how to provide these formatting options to the user for a particular text field?
I understand that once I define the text field with format XHTML (with RTF), user formatting can be captured and displayed in the same way. But I am not sure on how to provide the formatting options for the text field.
Thank you,
Madhu

Hi,
if you select a text field for Rich Text and the press Ctrl + E you'll get a bar for all available text formatting options in Acrobat/Reader.

Text formatting options

Hi,
Is there a list somewhere which outlines more text formatting options than what is shown in the FAQ?
In particular I'm wondering how to make text that does not suppress white space other than using the "code" tag.
Also, the insert link option a shown above does not seem to work, or am I just stupid?
Thanks.

Dude wrote:
Also, the insert link option a shown above does not seem to work, or am I just stupid?That one has not been working for a couple of years or so. There should be a thread about it in this forum.
Instead, I'm using [ url=<insert link here> ] text [ /url ] (without the extra spaces in tags). Normal html link tag might work as well.

Sorry I ain't done yet. My trigger happy go lucky phone send the message at a flash. I tried to work around the none formatting issue using the word in the office but as I could not get it to work as expected within reasonable amount of time and number of tries I gave up. If you format a phrase and copy it it just copies the last format and ignores the copied formatting. Plus how do you make the f. Keyboard go away easily? Why internet has no forward arrow, only back! Is this some kind of joke? Why when texting can't you move back and forth with arrows, just the stupid cursor. NO undo function????? Elementary mr Watson, elementary. +You have to be an oracle to guess when an app will close when u hit the back arrow rather than go back!! Apps must not close like that. Pretty disheartening. Pretty pretty for a good looking phone like this.
And to be honest I am not going to buy a new phone for another three to four years come hell. Unless wify breaks my old one she uses now and I give her the brick.

How to include formating options present in "FormatTextEdit" UI element in Smartform

Hi All,
I need your help in below requirement
We need to use FormatTextEdit UI element in our WDA, so that text entered in UI element along with formatting options needs to be printed in PDF form through smartform.
We are using Smartform to get PDF not adobe form. So we are facing issue in converting HTML tags which we get as a result of "FormatTextEdit" UI element in smartform.
In PDF ( which is generated using Smartform inside our component), HTML tags are getting printing like
We tried using "cl_wd_formatted_text", but could not find solution in integrating those HTML tags inside our smartform.
Is there is any FM or Utility to convert HTML tags to smartform or any other approach to fulfil our requirement?
Please help.
Thank you
Sangeetha

Hi,
You can convert smart form or RTF text to HTML tags but not the other way. There is no such provision. You can check the class CL_WD_FORMATTED_TEXT which has method to convert smartform/sap script to /formatted text . May be you can check that and try to do the reverse way.
But SAP doesn't have any such provision to convert HTML to other formats.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Kiran

Formatting options in SAP

i have a problem in displaying the formatting options available in
the Standard text editor into the ABAP Report list. In the editor,
i have text with bold and underline. So, these Bold and Underline are
not displaying in the ABAP Report LISTS.
Is ther any fm to get formatting options available in Standard text to
internal table..
I am using the fm FORMAT_TEXTLINES / FORMAT_TEXTLINES_DBCS
after the function module READ_TEXT is called. But it is not displaying
same format

By default it will not do it.
When you get the text using READ_TEXT function it will also give you the TDFORMAT column which will have the format data.
Using that you will have to format the data yourself and write it.

Excel format options

We're using Crystal 11.5 & 12 .NET interface.
We want to set certain export formatting options for the Excel Data Only export format and have not been able to find the appropriate properties or methods in the documentation. We have used the following code with the COM interface which works properly. However we have been unable to make this work in .NET. The list of the properties are as follows:
ExportOptions.ExcelExportAllPages = True
ExportOptions.ExcelExportImagesInDataOnly = True
ExportOptions.ExcelUseWorksheetFunctions = True
ExportOptions.ExcelMaintainRelativeObjectPosition = True
ExportOptions.ExcelMaintainColumnAlignment = True
ExportOptions.ExcelExportPageAreaPair = True
Does anyone know what the appropriate .NET methods/properties are for Excel Data Only export?

You will have to use the RAS SDK. Download the Report Application Server 12 SDK help file from here:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/rassdk_net_apiRef_12_en.chm
and then search for export. Then see ExcelExportFormatOptionsClass properties.

Setting format and format options in Output module settings for render queue item

Hello,
I am unable to set the "Format" and "Format options" for video in output module settings programatically using After effects apis.
I referred the after effects cs3 sdk guide for the apis.
I find apis for all other options in the "outputmodule settings " like :
AEGP_SetEmbedOptions
AEGP_SetOutputChannels
AEGP_SetStretchInfo
AEGP_SetSoundFormatInfo
But there is no api listed for setting the options available in the "Format" tab and "Format options" tab.
The "Format" tab and "Format options" tab is available in the dialog that opens when user clicks on the Output module settings for the render queue item.
The format tab when clicked shows a drop down list with aff different formats. By default "Video for Windows" is set.
The drop down list contains following format options
Adobe Clip Notes
Adobe Flash video
Quicktime movie
Video for Windows
I need to be able to set the "Quicktime movie" option in the Format tab programmatically and then set the compression type as "Animation" in the compression settings programatically using the api functions available in AE CS3 SDK
Please suggest the suitable api to do so.
I need to write my own plugin to export to Quicktime movie using the after effects apis.
I follow below steps to do so.
1. AEGP_InsertMenuCommand and add export option to AE with my own plugin name
2. In the command hook, select active item using AEGP_GetActiveItem
3. Add it to render queue
4. Set the output module settings for 0 th output module using
suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
5. Use different functions from suites.OutputModuleSuite1() to set the output module settings like EmbedOptions,StrechInfo etc.
6. Till this step, I am doing it right. But I am not able to find any api for setting Format options using suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
I also checked all other suites available for setting FormatOptions but no luck.
Please help.
Thanks,
-Namita

Hi Namita,
I am experiencing the same problem.
I am using AE CC SDK, and I am unable to change the outputmodule format to any of the other movie format types (mov, mpg, flv, etc.).
It is always set to "avi"
I even compiled and ran the Queuebert example in the SDK, and there I get the same problem: the path extension is always left on ".avi"
Does anyone know how to change this?

Adding a currency in numbers missing custom format option

I just paid for numbers latest version June 2012. iPad 3' v5.1.1.     Want to format a cell as a currency not in the little list chosen by apple. Forums suggest using the custom format option but I can not see this anywhere? Any ideas how to add a custom format or how to extend the list of currencies to all currencies. If nothing else missing out a countries currency as too unimportant to include is just plain rude!

1) You posted to the Numbers on Mac OS X forum ( Apple Support Communities > iWork > Numbers >   Discussions ). The iWork for iOS forum is more likely to provide the direct answer...
   it is here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios
2) you can add custom formats (demonstrating from Numbers for Mac OS X) by opening the cells inspector:
Then naming the new format and setting the parameters of the format:
If the currency symbol is not in the list then you can preceed (or follow) the value with the proper symbol:
I decided to demonstrate this by showing a preceeding infinity sign before the amount:

Choosing format options for saving a PDF in Photoshop

We are photographing newspaper pages, fixing them up in photoshop to be read using Adobe Reader. When I "save as" pdf it offers a whole host of little format options. I need a document size of about 1 Meg in order to get a whole year's worth of paper on one CD. Which options should I use?

Access to Export formatting options that may not be readily available?

How can I access Export formatting options that existed in CR XI using CR VS2010?
I am converting an app from CR XI to CR VS2010 and am attempting to generate DiskFile exports. The general process is succesful, but there certain formatting options I cannot find in the API:
NumberOfLinesPerPage(n);
UserDefinedCharactersPerInch(n);
CharFieldDelimiter(c)
UseReportDateFormat(b)
UseReportNumberFormat(b)
I have found some mention that some or all of these are still available via the RAS interface. Given my efforts in updating my database connections on the fly, I am now somewhat versed in RAS access, but am struggling with how to use it to format my exports. Can I set the above options somehow, and if so are there any examples of how to do this?

Yes, the RDC. In fact, I was reading a doc entitiled Migrating from RDC to .NET which had this:
ExportOptions.UseReportDateFormat
RDC
Set the date format to be the same as report.
Report.ExportOptions.UseReportDateFormat = True
.NET
Not supported in the .NET assemblies, but supported in the ReportClientDocument object model provided with the Report Application Server (RAS). RAS is available with Crystal Reports Server and BusinessObjects Enterprise.
ExportOptions.UseReportNumberFormat
RDC
Set the number format to be the same as report
Report.ExportOptions.UseReportNumberFormat = True
.NET
Not supported in the .NET assemblies, but supported in the ReportClientDocument object model provided with the Report Application Server (RAS).

crxi_r2_migrating_from_rdc_to_net.pdf
I admit I missed the Text Format properties. Thank you. I'm just not a heavy with this. In the RDC, when I set UseReportNumberFormat and UseReportDataFormat then that would apply regardless of my output file type. With this, it seems only to apply to CSV.

Missing F4V codec in format option, fresh install

Hi!
Just installed and updated AE CS4 trial and set some cuepoint in my video. Followed some tutorials showing f4v export. f4v is supposed to be one of the included 'codecs' available in the output module > format option. I only find FLV and NOT f4v. Where is it??? Do I need to install some additional codec pack or activate it???
Thanks
G

Rick is right. F4V (which is a container format, not a codec) uses the H.264 codec. H.264 is an MPEG codec, so this note from "Supported output formats" applies:
"Note: The free trial version of Adobe After Effects software does not include some features that depend upon software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, mocha for After Effects, some effect plug-ins, and some codecs for encoding and decoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of Adobe After Effects software."

STRUSTSS02 - No file format option for import

Hi Experts,
I am trying to import portal certificate into ECC 6.0 EHP7 system for SSO set up.
But I dont see the file format option ( Binary and Base) in STRUSTSS02 and If I import without it I am getting an error "cannot analyze certificate"
what could be the reason.
Thanks in advance

Ok, have you tried doing automatically with SSO wizard.
open your portal url and add sso at end.
http://<host>:<port>/sso2
And then add your ecc system by providing user/pass.
