AE Median Effects BUG ???

Hi There,
I have come across this weird problem with the median effect.
I apply it to a FullHD clip set to Full Quality.
I up the Radius to 6 and then the preview bar starts advancing. It does so for at least 60 Seconds.
Then it becomes an Indeterminate progress bar and that will spin for another 200 seconds at least.
Then I open Boris' Median which is just as good in quality an apply that to the same clip.
That takes 1 second or less to establish a preview.
This is AE 5.5
I dont know whether this is a BUG or a behavior.
So if anyone can confirm this, it would be nice.
As of now, I have to stop using AE's Median and use that from Boris.
Thanks

Hi Todd,
thanks for testing this...
Think I may have found a clue.
My Fast Preview Setting was - Open GL Interactive
Setting it to Open GL - Always - renders even a 16bit Tiff, instantaneously
Toggling back to Interactive revealed the problem.
Setting fast previews to OFF also works but takes a lot longer.
Thanks for testing again !!!

Fixed lots of Effect Bugs

Hey,
I have done a lot in my sandbox to fix Effect bugs, and add things that weren't in general working properly. These include:
1) Added/removed Effects.
- Now all components, spark and halo, can have added/removed effects.
2) Popup Effects.
- Added/removed effects did not work correctly with popups, even in the old implementation. Now, even with PopUpAnchor, you can run added/removed effects on the popup. Move effects work correctly too, taking into consideration the popup position before animating.
3) EffectManager was modified for handling these changes, as was PopUpAnchor, PopUpManager, SystemManager, and ChildManager. Nothing that would break anything, as I have run the tests and everything works fine.
Please pull my sandbox changes when you get a chance. Thanks!

Thanks a lot Matt.
My goal in creating my own sandbox was to fix all the little things I find as I go, optimize things here and there, and refactor the code if I need to (without modifying the API) to make it easier to do things.
These Effect fixes just made it so you could do what you expect, b/c it was doing strange things before .
It would be very helpful if there was a workflow for merging these sandboxes changes into the main branch so I could use the Framework "swz", unless there is a way, or you're planning on creating a way, to create my own.
Thanks,
Lance

Bevel effect bug.

To some you, this is going to look like a trivial matter. For those of us designing detailed multi-buttoned GUI's, it isn't. Yes, there are time consuming work-arounds. But why?...when it could be fixed by Adobe?
This first pic shows the starting point. It is a two layer image, the blue rectangles being uppermost.
This second pic shows the default settings used to add an emboss effect to the rectangles and the result.
It takes a sharp eye to see what's wrong. This third pic zooms in to show the problem.
If you apply a outer or embossed bevel effect to a number of objects on a single layer, the topmost and leftmost edges will be missing a pixels worth of feathering. This error popped up in PS CS2. It almost seems like there is this mystery 1 pixel offset error worming it way around various parts of the program. I'd really LOVE to hear Chris Cox's take on this one, too.

it's not a bug
I would beg to differ.

Effects Bug

Hi Spry-Team,
Just a little bug I would like to report, that I just
noticed. In of my designs I had a DIV with a CSS style shadow, like
this:
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color='#CCCCCC',
Direction=135, Strength=4)
When I apply an effect (AppearFade & Blind) the shadow
immediately disappears and doesn't reappear after toggle.
Low priority bug, but maybe you can look into it...
Regards,
Leon

Hi Leon,
Thanks for reporting this. I'll file a bug about this. It
happens because the Fade effect sets the filter CSS property on IE
to alpha() to accomplish the fading. This overwrites your setting
while the effect is going animating.

Flash Symbol w/ filters + spark parents + Fade effect bug

I've come across an interesting bug which I've narrowed down to a combination of:
• Flash symbols containing 1 or more Filters (defined in the Flash IDE)...
• Parented within certain Spark components (ex. symbol in Group that's in another Group)...
• Modified by an effect like spark.effects.Fade
What you see when you combine those elements above is a 1-frame, fully-opaque flicker after the Fade has completed (if fading out) or before it begins (if fading in). This flicker is noticeable and obviously not an intended part of the animation.
Here's a small test project that reproduces what I'm talking about. If you change the VGroup component to a VBox the flicker stops happening (at least for me). The same is true if you remove the middle DataGroup component. (The bug may not stop altogether but it does occur less frequently in that case.)

No. You cannot be taken seriously.
1. Photoshop is not Illustrator / Fireworks / Premiere / After effects / Dreamweaver / InDesign. Thank god Adobe. It is already bloated enough.
2. Much worse: your improvement list is sometimes faulty.

When you are duplicating and coping layers the layer panel becomes a horrible mess with dozens on layers with names like "Layer 123 copy 14" and it's very hard to sort it all out. Maybe it's better to copy layer with the same name as it's original?
Rename your layer. See screenshot.

False. Press first Alt and move the layer a little bit upwards until you see the light line.

MAD audio effects bug in Premiere Pro CC following todays update?

Hi Guys
Since the update on my machine this morning to PPCC I have noticed the following problem.
If you apply, for example, an Exponential Fade to the start of an audio clip of say 10 frames and then play back that portion, if the audio effect is selected in white a VERY loud BEEEP replaces the audio effect. If however, the audio effect is not selected, this BEEP does not occur - it took me a few minutes to work out why or how it was happening and this is what I found....it wasn't doing this yesterday, applied the update and now all projects are beeping on the audio effect if that audio effect is selected in white!
...and it's driving me crazy having to deselect my audio effect in order to play it back properly!
Can somebody please test this on their machine and see what happens???
HELP!
Thanks!

I've been having this exact same problem out of nowhere. I tried the update today, to no avail. I tried selecting, deslecting, and replacing all my exponential fades and sometimes I get a light buzz and sometimes i just get what sounds like a 0dB square wave at 700hz or something. It's quite jolting when it happens loudly and I have the volume turned up for reference. I hope others are having this issue too so it can be quickly resolved because it's essentially rendering premiere completely useless in the meantime. The ONLY fix I'm able to find is to delete every audio fade, which will mean a lot of time spent with the pen tool - not my idea of a fun Sunday afternoon edit.

Speed Effect Bug - Red/ Green Bar

I am currently working in ProRes HQ NTSC SD, but I have been able to replicate
this issue with 8-bit Uncompressed. Here it is: when using a speed effect on a
clip, with frame blending turned on, I am seeing an artifact in the lower few
scanlines. The artifact is either a green or red bar, or what looks like the
equivalent of analog head-switching (same size and location). Now I say with
frame blending turned on, because when I turn it off, the problem goes away.
Also, if I blow up the clip to 103%, then it is also gone; effectively pushing
the artifact out of the scan area. Here's a sample:
<http://files.me.com/dlbrier/zux57d>
Not sure if this might be a Kona 3 issue, but I've trashed prefs and reinstalled
Kona software to no avail. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Found some more info on the Nikon D300's built-in chromatic abberation (CA) correction. From DPReview.com:
"The D300 and D3 feature built-in Chromatic Aberration (CA) correction. This feature works by analysing the image, the image processor looks for CA in the image and actively corrects for it. If you're shooting RAW the analysis still occurs but instead of being applied the results of the analysis are simply written into metadata and are used by Capture NX to (optionally) correct. Obviously if you're using a third party RAW converter you won't get automatic CA correction. Our experience was that this worked very well and delivered surprising levels of CA reduction while also improving sharpness (probably due to the fact that the correction itself is effectively drawing the color channels back into alignment)."
See charts and photos here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond300/page21.asp
This is a big big feature of these cameras (and it's amazing it happens in real-time on the JPEG) -- I can clearly tell the difference between CA and non-CA photos, especially with wide-angle and fish-eye lenses.
Now what I really want is for Aperture to read that RAW CA metadata as well. Until then, I am only going to use Aperture as an archive for RAWs next to the JPEGs. The JPEGs are already CA-corrected, and they'll do for most uses. But if I need the RAW, I will export it to NX, turn it into a TIFF and take it from there.

Resize effect bug?

In the mxml file below, if you click 'Expand' the red box on
the right uses a Resize effect to grow, but it ends up expanding
way off the screen (producing a scrollbar in the application window
briefly). Since I have specified 'absolute' layout, shouldn't the
Resize effect respect the 'right="0"' constraint and expand the red
box to the left instead of to the right?
Is there another way of doing this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns="*"
layout="absolute"
width="100%" height="400" backgroundColor="yellow" >
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
import mx.effects.Resize;
private var resize:Resize = new Resize();
private function expand():void
resize.target = right_box;
resize.heightBy = 0;
resize.widthTo = this.width;
resize.duration = 1000;
resize.play();
]]></mx:Script>
<mx:HBox id='left_box' width="200" height="100%" left="0"
backgroundColor="blue" />
<mx:HBox id='right_box' width="200" height="100%"
right="0" backgroundColor="red" >
<mx:Button label="Expand" click="expand()" />
<mx:Button label="Contract" click="right_box.width=200;"
/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>

Well, I suppose we could add support to resize to tell it to
move as well as resize, but we're not setup that way. You can add a
move effect that will do what you want.
Objects that are affected by effects don't listen to
constraints and such because otherwise those things could block the
effect.

Cache After effects + Bug de lancement

Autre soucis, j'éxécute une version d'évaluation d'After Effect CC et au lancement, le programme reste bloqué sur "Initialisation du moteur type" solution ?
Je vous remercie, Lpx.

Peephole effect bug-- can't save project

I'm using iMovie HD 6.0.3 on both a PPC G4 and an Intel Mac. The video effect Peephole is giving me fits. The preview and settings are really buggy, but even if I manage to apply the effect in an acceptable manner the project won't save. It just shows the Saving progress bar indefinitely. I found some old posts about this but didn't find any solutions and can't reply to them as they're archives. Anyone know anything about this?

Sometimes permissions and preferences can get corrupted. Whenever iMovie starts acting funny, a common maintenance procedure is to do the following: Delete preferences by closing iMovie and trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the House icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility App on your Mac. Open the Disk Utilities window and select the Mac hard drive icon at the top of the side pane at the left. Then click on the Repair Permissions button. When you have repaired permissions and deleted preferences, restart your computer and launch iMovie. iMovie will replace the .plist file that you deleted. Be sure also that you have sufficient free disk space on your hard drive for iMovie to function correctly. 25GB often is recommended by users of this forum. After doing all of the above, relaunch iMovie and see whether you still have the problem.

Distorted Effect - Bug*?

Hi there,
I am a bit of an After Effects Newbie, looking for a bit of help with a radom effect that occured whilst I was recently
Basically I imported a bit of footage .mov and it through an interlacing effect over, like the signal was lost? anyway I thought it actually looked pretty cool and was wondering how one might render such an effect? or what actaully occured, I have since not been able to replicate it.
Any help greatly appreciated

Hey there, just had a fiddle about - trying to recreate the effects
This effect is good: Bad TV

But its not really close to what I was doing..... any idea what codec would throw that error? I tried a few - basically won't let me import them if bad

Shatter effect bug?

I've used shatter effect before - and when you apply it and preview, it should give you a generic shatter - that you can then modify.
I'm getting nothing. tried to apply it in the middle of a clip - looked at tghe head to see if it put it there - no.
anyone else having problems? it's almost like the default settings aren't working.

The effect always recognizes the in-point as the start of the action (if you don't keyframe the forces and such). Are you sure you are not seeing nothing simply because the simulation part is already over and at the point it has returned to the initial state? Also, do perhaps the first few frames only contain transparent areas so it does not render any visible stuff?

Slide effect bug.

If i set a slide from 0% to 100%, it shows a bug, like a
blink...
So I must use from1% to 100% ( used with "display: none;"
).

tnx for the help.
opx does not fix the bug, 1px is still too much...
(so u admit the bug hu ?)
