Auto Trace Not Previewing?

Hi-
I'm trying to trace a video layer, but for some reason when I check the preview dialog box, the mask flickers on and off, but dont stay visible.
Specs:
Max OS X 10.7.5
3.06 GHz Intel Core i3
8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
AE CC Version 12.0.0.404
Thanks for any help.

Here you go. Notice that the preview box is indeed checked, however, I'm not seeing the masks for the preview area. It's also worth noting that the "Apply to new layer" box doesn't change this behavior.

Auto trace issues

when i used auto trace tool it is not showing the tracing of the pic

After Effects Auto Trace does not work like the Auto Trace In Illustrator. There is a preview but there's a bug in the preview of you are running a HR (Retina for Mac) display that causes the preview to be 1/4 size and in the upper right corner. Your layer either needs an alpha channel or some contrast. This is what CC looks like on my MBP R with preview on:
As long as you have not hidden the preview in your Composition Panel Settings you should be able to see the preview and if the Mask Path visibility is turned on (third icon on the bottom right) you should see the mask paths with they are created.

Multiple Failures with Auto Export Private Preview for one DB

My Customer has received 7 failures so far this month for their daily exports for a specific Database. While they understand this service is in private preview,
this failure rate is abnormally high from their experience with this service and the Customer is asking for Microsoft to investigate. They are not experiencing this same failure rate on any of their other production DB exports. The
error logs show the following:

Can no longer find or use Auto Trace in Illustrator CS11

My system was recently "upgraded" to Windows 7. Now I can no longer find the Auto Trace option in Illustrator CS 11. I see it in the preferences but cannot access it through a menu. I see "expand" but it's gray and not available. Any suggestions?

screen-naim,
You should have Auto Trace in CS, also known as 11. It was replaced by Live Trace in CS2.
I believe it is bundled with the Blend Tool in the Toolbox (ClickHold to see it fly out).

Auto Trace in Illustrator CS5

I am not able to perform the Auto Trace function in Illustrator. When I bring up the Tracing Options dialog box from the Live Trace, my button in the top right corner does not say "trace". It says "set default". I have also seen it said that there is an Auto Trace drop down function in the menu bar. I also do not have this. I thought past versions of Illustrator had a tool that performed the auto trace function. I have the student version and am wondering if this is the reason I don't have this. Any help?

Maybe this will help...

Layer Auto-trace issue in AE CC 2014

Hello,
There seems to be a bug in the CC 2014 auto-trace layer command. When I execute the command the new traced layer does not appear in the comp above the original layer as it did in AE CC previously. Is there a new method? I also notice that the project and effects panels are no longer displayed side by side in CC 2014. I must switch between work-spaces in order to see the effects window on a given layer, then switch back to standard workspace to see the project panel.
Any help or education on these matters would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JB

Nothing changed regarding the default workspaces. I think that you may be mis-remembering the previous versions.
Also, regarding Auto-trace, nothing has changed. There is an option in the Auto-trace dialog box to apply the masks to a new layer. The default for that is off. After Effects remembers and uses the last setting, so if you set this on once, it stays on for subsequent uses. You probably changed it once in a previous version and forgot that you did so.

Rotoscoping with Auto Trace and the Hold Keyframes it produces

I was looking at the masks that were created with AUTO TRACE and noticed that they are all with HOLD keyframes. I had used Hold Keyframes only on the mask opacity but not on the Mask Path...is this the better way to go - with hold keyframes for Mask Path. I toggled between Hold and Linear but can't see and difference

I toggled between Hold and Linear but can't see and difference
You'd only see a difference, when you use motion blur (a lot of it). Else the areas inbetween the keyframes do not figure into the equation and thus the visual result is the same.

How to customize Auto-trace selection over multiple frames?

Hi all,
I'm working on an After Effects CS5 project that involves a lot of compositing and my material is all in high-contrast black and white. I'm looking for a way to mask individual parts of a particular clip: e.g. I have a 10 second clip with two people standing in it, one on the right and one on the left. I'd like to isolate the person on the right and hide everything else, including the background and person on the left.
I used Auto-trace to quickly find the outlines of my image and it works great since my picture is such high-contrast. Only thing is, I'm not sure how to remove the person on the left from the auto-trace selection.
I have "work area" selected in my Auto-trace options, which is amazing as it makes the Auto-trace selection span over my entire 10 second clip (as opposed to me needing to apply it frame-by-frame), but now the problem lies in removing person on the left from the entire 10 second clip. I went to the beginning of the new layer (I have the "Apply to new layer" box checked in my Auto-trace options), used the "Delete Vertex Tool" (the pen tool with a minus sign on it), and removed the selection of the person on the left, but the selection exists in all the frames following it (i.e. 9 seconds and 29 frames), and only gets removed from the particular frame I was working on.
Is there any way to get AE to remove the selection over the span of the clip as opposed to only the individual frame I'm working on?
BTW, I'm not married to this method. If anyone has a better method I could use, I'm all ears, although I would like to see this through if possible.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
Mike

Thanks for the tips. I checked out the super tight junk matte tutorial, and this works well for green screened content but the issue I have is that my image is completely duotone - i.e. I only have black and white in the image. See here for an example:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze15wlb3/IOBG012.jpg
So my challenge is trying to get certain portions of the image excluded, and I'm having a hard time doing this using rotobrush. In this case, I want to exclude the face on the left while auto-tracing or somehow rotobrushing the face on the right. Any other suggestions? I was hoping for an easier way short of applying tons of junk mattes and precomping.

ITunes 10.2.1.1 update & Webroot Firewall - Certain Songs will not Preview

I downloaded iTunes 10.2.1.1 and some songs would not preview. Examples: The All-American Rejects - Give You **, Kesha - Blow, Beatles Love - Help!, etc... while the song above or below played fine. Song Title would come up on Title Bar but Diamond would not move.
SOLUTION Apple Tech gave me - I use Webroot Internet Security - checked filters for iTunes, other Apple software and REMOVED the iTunes/Apple related filters from the Webroot Firewall.
Webroot - go to PC Security, Firewall - Applications - REMOVE Program Files/itunes/itunes.exe
ALL SONGS NOW PLAY FINE
Check your Firewall filters as they may be interfering with the Scripts used to play these songs!
Good Luck!

iTunes will reappear on the list. Go to far right of box and select Allow Parent - YES

I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on. So I know the speakers still work. I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute.

I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on. So I know the speakers still work. I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute. I have tried the mystical swiping upward on the screen with 4 fingers to get some special sound menu (which I never succeeded in getting). My headphone jack doesn't work all the time either so some times my kids can hear their games and sometimes they can't. I am super frustrated at this point. So any suggestions would be great. Am I missing something basic or do we just have a soundless iPad now?

How to make it a default for all received messages to not preview the attachment but instead show the icon? (mac mail.app)

Hi
I am having trouble with large incoming mail attachments.
When I receive a large attachment (pDf) the useful mail preview feature attempts to show a preview of the attachment. Unfortunately this is causing a lot of trouble as some PDFs are extremely large and therefore take time to open/preview. If I right click the attachment and select view as icon, the problem with that specific message ceases as the attachment is no longer previewed.
How can I make it the default for all attachments in received messages to only be shown as a icon and not previewed?

In Terminal,
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool Yes

Password protected files do not preview.

Can someone help me?
When I upload a password protected file with restrictions on printing and editing it does not preview the file. I have not set any password for viewing or opening the file. I want to share the document but not allow for people to download it i.e. just for online viewing.
I do understand that download of the document is inevitable for a person that has some basic level of computer literacy but still want to get that done.
Is what I am trying to accomplish possible?
Regards.
Edit: I am referring to Acrobat.com document management and sharing.

Hi
I am having the same problem, the image does not appear in the main preview box, it is shown in the sidebar window but you cannot drag it into the main window, I have tried tiff and jpg but to not avail, the only way I can import into main window is converting the picture into eps (but it then automatically converts to a PDF format before importing), I am running 10.6.2, any ideas

Auto brightness not working in ios6

I updated my iPad (3rd gen) to ios6, but when the update is complete i found that the auto brightness not working, when i use the ipad on dark room the brightness not changing, when i use ios5.1 it changing.. Any solution and actually the problem is on ios or in the hardware? Looking for help asap...

Well my device is different and since it is a iPhone 5, it is not being updated to iOS 6 but the issue is exactly the same. From my mind this could be up to software but also could be from an hardware issue. The thing is that even if it worked before iOS 6 for you the new software could have revealed hardware conflicts since the software interacts different with the hardware for some features. This would be the worst case scenario because I know that normally iPhone 4 devices if not the 8GB model will be out of warranty. For me this is just a small issue since my warranty is still one year :(
I have contacted apple care for this issue and have get the info that it will be escalated to the engineering team, for further investigation. As I know there was also an issue with some proximity sensors at the beginning if the iPhone 4 models and I think there was an software fix for a lot of them. Hope for the best!!!
I have also done a lot of Troubleshooting, reseted settings, content and settings, restored in dfu and recovery mode, restored with new .ipsw (iPhone OS), restored on different pc (so even this step gas downloaded a totally new .ipsw file), first on a Mac!
Next step wis that I will let the battery drain low entirely, a Troubleshooting idea of an friend. This might empower the entire hardware for a restart. I am not really believing in this step but I will give it a try :)

Hi KMS, check the codec used between that GW using the FXO and the CTI RP.
Check also the Calling Seach Space
GW should be able to reach CTI Route Point and CTI ports partition.
If you try other extension it works fine?

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
Patrick
P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.
