After Effects Transform Effect is there something similar in Motion?

Is there a way to something similar to the AE transform effect to offset the motion caused by the displace filter.

Interesting tutorial, thanks!
Here's a quickie Motion version covering the basic concepts they use. I didn't have a texture handy and I wanted this to be self contained, so I used the Cloud generator. I animated the gradient in a gradient generator to get the wipe, substituted Gradient Colorize for "Colorama", Underwater filter for "Turbulent Displace", used behaviors instead of keyframes, etc...
I hope this gets you started:
Disintegrator Movie.
and the Project.
come back with any questions...

After Effects error: There was an error processing the PDF document.

I have been struggling with this problem ever since CS4 was installed.
I have the CS4 Mac Master Collection.
I am using Illustrator to create text for animation in After Effects.
I can create text in Illustrator and import it into After Effects fine. But when I go to make a change to
the Illustrator file, even as simple as changing a color, I get this error.
After Effects error: There was an error processing the PDF document. The file may be damaged or corrupt. (50::29)
The Illustrator file is then toast as far as After Effects is concerned. It cannot be opened or reimported.
I have to start over again and over again, rebuilding the Illustrator file each time.
HELP!!!

This is an issue with AI and ultimately therefore also the AI routines that AE shares to access such files. Has been there forever and neither the AI people nor the AE team seem to be able to fix it in a consistent manner. Simply save a copy of the file from AI, then use Replace Footage instead of reload or at least always fully reload the AE project.

SMC RESET

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

Is there something similar to a MenuDimmerCallback?

Planning to use menu functions in LV and not having used them till now, I need some conceptual help.
In CVI you can define a MenuDimmeCallback function: a function executed only when the user clicks on the menu bar. In that function you can test program condition and dim some menu items not available or executable in the situation you are. This is particularly useful in that you don't need to update the menu structure every time your program conditions change, but you have to evaluate the actual situation when and only the user shows menus.
Is there something similar in LV?

If I have helped you, why not giving me a kudos?

I haven't worked with CVI but given your explanation, I would say that LabVIEW handles menus a little differently. Under the application control>>menu palette there is a function called "Get Menu Selection". This can be placed in a loop to monitor if a menu item has been selected. Timeout will be false when it has and then you process the selection.
However, this would be too late to use as a trigger to change menu dim because the selection has already been made. What you are asking is when the menu has been selected and no item clicked. In LabVIEW, you can modify the look of the menu any time you wish using the other functions in the menu palette. You don?t have to wait for the menu to be selected.
I hope this helps?

[SOLVED] Is there something similar to FinePrint for Linux?

Hi,
when I was still using Windows, I used a freeware similar to FinePrint (don't remember the name) and it was very useful. So far this is the only application I miss. Is there something similar to that available for Linux?

Stuff means anything that can be printed, so it is not about creating pdf's or something similar. Just to watch and edit what you want to print before you actually print it to paper, and that independent of the program you are using.

Is it possible to exclude one video card from After Effects. There are 2 in this system and one, I believe, does not have CUDA support.

This system has 2 video cards. A new nVidia Quadra 4000 and an older BlackMagic DeckLink Extreme 3D+. I would like After Effects to use only the nVidia card so I can take advantage of CUDA. Is there a preference I can set so that AE only uses the nVidia card?

What version of After Effects do you have (down to the decimal points)?

ITunes 11.1.1 won't open even after OS update. Is there something ELSE I'm missing?

After I updated my iTunes to 11.1.1, it wouldn't open. I found something on these forums that had a link to an OS update to fix the problem. Downloading and installing the OS update took nearly 24 hours, and iTunes still won't open. Is there something else I'm missing?

first of all you want to back up all music files before you uninstall itunes. if mavericks wont let you uninstall itunes then right click on itunes in your applications folder, then get info, then go to the bottom and change all permissions to read and write. then close and try to uninstall and reinstall. if that doesnt work then this does :
open apps, go to utilities, open terminal and cut and paste or type in these 3 commands, hitting return after each one.
(first type) killall iTunes
(then hit return)
(then type) killall "iTunes Helper"
(then hit return)
(then type) sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
(and hit return)
after the last one you will be warned and asked to enter your password. do it.
once completed you will see on your itunes icon with a ? shadow inside it.
drag it off the dock and it goes poof.
then download itunes from apple.
if they wont let you download 11.1.5 itunes then use 10.7 Download it from Apple here.
and then install and upgrade to 11.1.5 from there. this is the method i used when my itunes just bounced after installing mavericks. it takes only minutes and your itunes will be as right as rain. enjoy.

How can I open multiple "non-merged" firefox windows? With IE, I would use the "-nomerge" option. Is there something similar for Firefox?

I use a website in my daily work activities that I need to have multiple sessions of the website open at any given time. Natively, I cannot have multiple sessions open in a single browser (separated tabs or separate windows) without one session taking over the other. Internet Explorer has a command line option (-nomerge) that will allow me to accomplish what I need. The target line of the IE shortcut properties would look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nomerge
Is there a similar solution for Firefox?
I am running Windows 7, IE11 and Firefox 26
Thank you in advance,

Ntrights.exe Windows 2008 R2 Resource Kit Tool? Does it exist or is there something similar I can use?

I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard as a DC
I am trying to add users/groups to the following local policies through a GPO, however I need to script it out using something similar to ntrights.exe. I do not want to do it through the GUI because this is going to be a re-occurring process.
Below are the policies I am trying to configure via some kind of command prompt. I do not think I can do this with PowerShell 2.0 even with the import-module grouppolicy cmdlets.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Allow log on locally
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Debug programs
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Force shutdown from a remote system
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Shut down the system
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Change the system time
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Allow logon through Remote Desktop Services
Would it be safe to copy the Windows Server 2003 ntrights.exe resource kit tool and try it on Windows Server 2008 R2? I am working on a virtual test lab environment so I can actually take a snapshot before hand but wanted your expert thoughts on it first.
Thank you in advance.

I found the solution.....You can actually use "quoted" host names in the templates instead of the SIDs. Make sure that for Domain User Accounts you specify the Domain prefix. For Local User accounts you can just specify the local user name.
The filename of the template that I made is LOCAL_SEC_TEMPLATE.inf
Here's what's inside that LOCAL_SEC_TEMPLATE.inf template:
[Unicode]
Unicode=yes
[Registry Values]
[Privilege Rights]
SeInteractiveLogonRight = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
SeDebugPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
SeRemoteShutdownPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
SeSystemtimePrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins","LOCAL SERVICE"
SeShutdownPrivilege = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins"
SeRemoteInteractiveLogonRight = "Administrators","XXDIGIHD\DigiOps","XXDIGIHD\Domain Admins","Remote Desktop Users"
[Version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
Revision=1
[Profile Description]
Description=Local Security Template
Here's how I applied the template to the Local Security Policy: (You can use PowerShell or the regular command prompt)
SECEDIT /configure /db secedit.sdb /cfg "c:\LOCAL_SEC_TEMPLATE.inf"
Here's the link on using SECEDIT >> http://www.appdeploy.com/tips/detail.asp?id=23
Thanks for your help Gunter, this issue is solved.

Is there something similar to Key Caps in OS 10.5?

Call me old fashioned, but after using Macs for 20 years now, there are actually a few things from the old operating systems I miss, like Key Caps. I've found Font Book but is there anyway it can show me the key strokes required to pull up an embedded character? Or do I have to keep the old PowerMac with OS 8.6 going forever?

Is there something similar to WinKey+R (Run) in OS X

I have been using Windows for years and I am totally addicted to the WinKey+R key combination which brings up the "Run" dialog. Some common tasks would be:
#launch a command prompt
WinKey+R cmd
#launch MS Word
WinKey+R winword
#launch a console RDP session with a custom resolution
WinKey+R mstsc /v:some_host /w:1100 /h:777 /console
#launch IE and open http://some_url/
WinKey+R iexplorer http://some_url/
I've noticed command+spacebar get me spotlight and I can type something like textedit and that works but I can't type "textedit ~/mydoc.rtf" which is what I really want.
Can I get the functionality I'm looking for?
Thanks in advance.

Don
Quite close to this functionality (plus a whole lot more...) check out LaunchBar. Hit the shortcut (cntrl-space) for instance and type wor and be offered a list of matching items. Use 'wor' for Word three times and it will remember it. Check it out, I can hardly use a Mac without it.

The scroll bar on the right is gone. the only way i can move the screen up or down is by using the arrow keys. happened after i updated software is there something i missing

The scroll bar on the right is gone the only way I can move the screen up or down is with the arrow keys Why how do i get it back and have it stay there

Yep. For all us spreadsheet geeks, this is a real sinker. Anyway, here's my workaround. Not free, unfortunately. I have a macro program called QuicKeys installed on my Mac that I've used for countless years, and which I highly recommend for other reasons. Anyway, one of QuicKeys' many features is simulating a scroll wheel using the keyboard. I have it simulating a cell-by-cell scroll using cmd-arrow keys. The only drawback is that I have to release the cmd key each time I want to move another cell.

I am trying to install after effects, but no matter what version I try to download, there is always a different error not allowing me to open or use the program after I have already installed it.

I have recently repurposed an iMac from late 2009 as an editing machine, and have been trying to install preferably After Effects CS6. When I install and try to open it for the first time, the program quits unexpectedly and continues to do the same every time I try to reopen the program. After no luck experimenting trying to fix the problem, I attempted to download the trial of After Effects CC 2014 to see if the problem was with the computer or with the application. After installing CC, there was another error when I attempted to open it. My final attempt was taking After Effects CS5 from an old hard-drive and attempting to open it on the iMac. When I open CS5 I am greeted with another error message telling me to reinstall After Effects. After reinstalling I get the same message.
I am confused to whether my computer can handle After Effects, or there is another error occurring.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
