Bezier Handles not showing in motion editor

I can get them to display for every property except for x and y which I find them the most necessary. I control+click to add a new keyframe while in the motion editor then alt click to convert it to a smooth keyframe. All of them let me adjust the bezier handles except for the x and y properties. It seems to automaticaly smooth but i would like more control.

This happen to me a few weeks ago and this is how I fixed it.
Try this... Make a new user account on your Mac. If the canvas shows in Motion using the new user account do this:
1) Go to the Finder Menu, Go...
2) Hold down the Option key...
3) Go... Library....
4) Application Support... Motion... Layouts... Modified... Delete Default.ModuleLayout and delete Motion.saved.moduleLayout files.
Restart Motion and see if that works for you.

  • Bezier handles in CS4 for motion editing

    I have watched movies of people using the motion editor, I have read books, I have even consulted the cursory help that Adobe offers. Nothing I do generates Bezier handles that i can see, although the motion lines show evidence of bezier-liek modification. What happens seems largely random.
    Just as random is the scatter of keyframes. Put a symbol on the stage. Add a motion tween, Move it to a new location: fine, it works. Bend the path, and look in motion editor: suddeenly, dozens fo keyframes. Prod them with the mouse and they distrot, but with no obvios controls. Shift moves them, Cntl deletes them, Alt does god knows what, but evokes the path edit tool from Photoshop.
    The documentation on this package is extremely poor. However, self-teaching is impossible as the system is not at all intuitive. If you don't know that you are supposed to toss salt over your left shoulder whilst pushing Alt-Scroll Lock, you don't see what tehbooks describe. But they always leave out that little detail. Adobe's videos are of the same style - too smallto seeproperly, all done at a tremendous pace by a laconic individual with the teaching capabilities of a firing squad.
    So: please, ayone, how doo you get the Bezier handles to appear? Where does one find a decent set of documentation? Why does Flash help keep referring to Illustrator?

    Thank you for that.
    I discovered that bezier handles are not available for X, Y, Z manipulations in the motion editor (! agast !) but only for things whewre you do not need them, like tint and alpha. Bizarre.
    A useful tip for the motion editor is to use the otherwise useless feature of multiple customised interfaces. If you make one called "motion" - or something - and close everything except the motion editor - which you maximise to take the enotre screen - you can then jump to the editor at full scheme. Why the dear,dear Adobe people chose to make this grey on grey is yet another of those mysteries, like the nightmare Microsoft ribbon. Software houses get wedded to the notion of change for its own sake, perhaps: they certainly don't ask the use what they want.
    As a further comment on the UI - supposing that Adobe read these things - there is a big problem with the layers in the timelines. The name of the layer is shown in white font (why??) when the layer is selected. Additionally, my usual windows selection colour (light yellow) is superimposed over the whole line. So the name is white on light yellow - unreadable, even if it wasn't in weeny font - and the animation colors are overlayed with a sickly blend of thsi and the underlying blue, etc. A moments thought would say: put an arrow icon (or something) to show which layer is selected, and leave the rest alone.
    Flash isa steep cliff to climb, with precious few hand holds. Why Adobe have to make it quite so hard to even see properly is beyondf me.

  • PSE does not show iTunes external editor

    I have PSE installed (ver. 9.0.3) but it does not show in the drop down box in itunes for external editor.  Am I missing something?

    Did you download the iLife 903 updater? If so, run the installer. It facilitates the communication between apps like iPhoto and iTunes.

  • Imovie 10.0.2 not showing clips in editor

    Hi, when i click a video i'm working in, it won't show the clips in the editor. It shows the lines separating the clips but the clips don't appear. Any help please?
    My imovie version in the newest, 10.0.2 i think.
    Thanks:)

    I'm the origininator of this thread.  Yes, I tried selecting Software Update... from the Apple menu.  No difference.  On my other Macs, the update showed up regardless of doing this or going directly to the Mac App Store and selecting updates.
    As I indicated in my original post, I know how to download either the delta or combo updates and have already downloaded the 10.8.2 combo updater.  I also keep an updated copy of the 4GB, full, Mtn Lion software installer on a bootable flash drive and I have just downloaded the complete 10.8.2 installer and updated my flash drive.
    My question involved just the App Store, because when I've experienced one type of problem there it leads to other problems.  The fact that I've got 3 macs all with essentially the same software and one of the three is not showing the 10.8.2 update tells me that there is some software problem on that Mac.
    If I can't resolve it, I'll probably use my full 10.8.2 installer on my flash drive to resintall a full 10.8.2 version on that computer.  That will likey solve this problem but will take a bit longer because of the install time.

  • Canvas not showing in motion 5

    Hi,
    I have researched this issue on all the forums and Google but did not find a solution. My last resort is here and hopefully i get an answer. This is the first time i have encountered this problem with motion 5. I use motion 5 regulary on Mac OSX 10.8 on a Mac pro. I have a three monitor setup, two monitors are connected directly via DVI to HDMI to the mac, and one is connected via USB. I usually have the time pane and project pane on one monitor and Canvas on the other. Today without doing anything when i lauched motion 5, the canvas is not showing. This is very frustrating, the option "show canvas in second display" is also grayed out. After trying everything i knew ( quitting motion, restarting computer 5 times, trashing preference files, uninstall/reinstall motion, disconnecting monitors and using just one) i give up and came here. I am not sure what i am doing wrong, and this is the first time this is happening. I have the latest version installed and everything is up to date. Please help if anyone encountered this issue and fixed it. Thanks in advance for any help. I have a big project i need to finish.

    This happen to me a few weeks ago and this is how I fixed it.
    Try this... Make a new user account on your Mac. If the canvas shows in Motion using the new user account do this:
    1) Go to the Finder Menu, Go...
    2) Hold down the Option key...
    3) Go... Library....

    Restart Motion and see if that works for you.

  • Event not showing up in editor but appears in package contents

    I have a weird scenario where one of my events is not showing up in a library. I have a simple library with the following events:
    Interviews
    B Roll
    Edits
    When I open final cut, I only see the B-Roll and Interviews event. The Edits one is missing. When I right click on the library in my finder and select show package contents, I can see all 3 events. No clue why one isn't showing up. 
    I tried renaming it. I tried setting up a new library and copying over. Neither worked.
    Any suggestions? 

    What happens when you open package contents and click on "edits"? Does it havea  filder that says "original media" and when you click on that one can you see video clips?

  • Gradient "Handle" not showing up in FW8

    I made a square and filled it with a gradient but then the
    handle doesnt show up to turn it or resize etc....
    Does anyone know how to invoke the handle?
    thanks,

    I figured it out, I should have been selecting the square
    with the pointer tool instead of the subselection tool.

  • [ADF] - JDev does not show 'Tree Binding Editor' when dropping a ADF Tree..

    Hi All,
    I am trying to work trough the ADF Faces/Toplink 10.1.3 tutorial: 'Build an End-to-End J2EE Application with Toplink and ADF Faces'. When I get to the point that I have to place an 'ADF Tree' object on my panel JDeveloper is supposed to come up with the Tree Binding editor, but does not.
    I reinstalled JDeveloper, killed all unnecessary Windows XP (SP2) processes (firewall and fun services) and retried. The same problem happens. I tried to create a table and this works fine. Then I installed the same zip file on Linux and the Editor shows up. Finally I installed the same zip file with a colleague - no problems.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
    Thanks in advance, Laszlo
    PS The exception JDev throws is:

  • Masked pre comp of clip not showing clip motion within the mask please help

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to create a phenakistoscope Phenakistoscope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia out of a motion picture of a dancer.
    I've transformed the clip of the dancer and precomposed it and then masked and animated the rotation of the pre comp in a new composition.  I then duplicated the now animated pre comp 20 times offsetting each one, a frame later than the last to create the wheel effect with trailing frames.
    The animation of the mask and offset is working fine, however the footage in the clip is not playing in the masked composition.
    please help, here is the project file. Dropbox - caropheankistope.aep
    RAW FOOTAGE SAMPLE Dropbox - carolina base_raw sample.mov
    NON WORKING COMP SAMPLE OUTPUT Dropbox - carolina base_sample.mov
    Thanks
    adam

    I'm replying to your question on my phone so I can't look at your project but I did look at your video.
    Here is what I would do to troubleshoot the project. First run a RAM preview of the pre-composed and masked wedge comp. If that plays back correctly then everything else should work unless you have applied some kind of time effect to the duplicated layers. If that doesn't work then show us a screenshot of that pre-comp with all of the properties of the movie layer revealed (Press that u key twice).
    If you have not sorted this out by the time I get back the office I will try and take a look at your project.

  • PDFs from CS3, ligatures not showing up on editor's PC, fonts appearance changed

    Hi there. I just redesigned a magazine using the Hypatia Sans family, Avenir family and Arno Pro family. Avenir is the one font I have been using. With both Hypatia and Arno, the ligatures totally drop out of the pdf when viewed on a PC. And, when the editor made the edits in the "comment-able" pdf and sent it back to me, really none of the fonts appear right. Nothing looks like Hypatia or Arno or Avenir. The font flow seems to stay put, but that is about it.
    I'm trying to pinpoint this a little tighter. But while I'm doing that, I wanted to put this out here on the discussion boards. Since this is an entire magazine, it's not going to be acceptable to proof it this way. I don't know if I can send a pdf to someone at Adobe to look at and see what they think is happening? I'm not finding much on the boards about this either so I don't know if it's a widespread issue or not.
    -K

    Follow up ...
    Kellie and I discussed and problem and then she checked with the editor.
    In fact, the editor was putting PDF comments on the InDesign-exported PDF file using MacOS Preview and then saving the file and returning it via e-mail to Kellie. MacOS Preview converted all of the text from Arno Pro, Avenir and Hypatia Sans to MacOS versions of Multiple Master Helvetica and Multiple Master Times fonts which clearly did not have all the glyphs of the original fonts.
    The editor was advised to download and install the free Adobe Reader and guess what? The problem went away.
    Problem solved!
    Sorry folks, but there is absolutely nothing that Adobe can do about this problem other than to continue to advise our customers to avoid PDF reader software that simply doesn't implement or doesn't properly implement the full PDF specification. (Note that this specification is an ISO standard now, not something that is secret or Adobe-proprietary in any way!)

  • True type fonts not showing in Motion 2.1.2

    Although I don't want to, my client is insisting I use the VAG Round type face in the video I'm making for them. It's a true type font.
    Although it shows in the drop down font menu, the face displays as Helvetica. The font file is located in Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts/VAG Round.ttf
    For now, I'm going to create .ai files with the copy but would prefer to type directly into Motion.....
    Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Make sure the folder names and file names contain no special characters such as accents. This is a bug.

  • PSE 5.0.2 - Vista 64-Bit - File Name Not Showing Up In Editor Title

    Hello...
    I'm running PSE 5.0.2 on Vista 64-bit.
    When I open a file, the name of the file doesn't show up in the Editor title (upper left hand corner of screen). It just says Editor - Photoshop Elements 5.0
    So I don't know whether the file is a .psd or .jpg or whatever unless I look at the photo bin.
    How do I get the file name to show up in the Editor title?
    Thanks!

    Have you maximized the photo window within the editor?
    Why does it matter, when you are editing, whether the file is .jpg or .psd or something else?

  • Javascript not showing in script editor

    I have a form I developed with LC. I programmed in javascript a button to email onClick. My script is executing, but I can't see it. I wrote it yesterday and today I open it and there is NO javascript, but the button still performs as programmed.
    Any ideas?  I am new to LC (love it!) but this is a bit confusing.   If someone could show me what I obviously don't have setup correctly, I would very much appreciate it.

  • Keyframe Bezier Handles

    Hi:
    I'm having a bit of a problem getting Bezier handles to show up while keyframing in Motion 4. I am adjusting the Transform.Rotation.Y parameter on a group. I can put in the keyframes where I want them, and assign their interpolation to Bezier. A checkmark appears in the interpolation menu beside the Bezier option, and the path changes to the nice smooth S-shape.
    However, those 2 stretchy Bezier controls that usually stick out from the keyframe symbol do not show up, so I cannot adjust the Bezier curve manually. I can change the interpolation to something else and back, but the controls never appear.
    Any ideas?
    Randy

    You need to select a specific keyframe for the handles to appear. If they still do not, you might try trashing your prefs:
    1) Quit Motion.
    2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
    3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it.

  • Recently Edited Files not Showing in Organiser PSE11

    My recently edited files do not show in the editor.  All the repairs, optimise etc have been done.  Photos have been saved as Jpeg and PSD and the check box to save in Organiser also ticked.

    It's because the sort order is based on 'date taken', the date and time when the picture was shot (if the camera is correctly set for the time...)
    Edit:
    There is no way to select pictures based on the last editing time (nothing in the Find menu, either by metadata or history). That information is only stored in Windows explorer.
    If you want to keep track of your recently edited pictures, the only workaround I can see is to apply a keyword like 'new edit' each time you edit a picture. I suppose that such info is no longer needed after your editing batch, so you can select all those files and delete the keyword from all of them. The keyword is still available for the next editing batch.
    Generally, people interested in seeing the  most recent edits use the editor to see the recent edits. You can set the preference to up to 30 recent files in edit/preference menu, file recording option.
