Can't preview effects in canvas or viewer

For the life of me I can't get effects to preview. I've tried enabling and un-enabling the effect in the viewer. I've tried different effects. I've tried trashing preferences. Nothin' doin'. (The timeline indicates that it is giving a preview- green line- but nothing does in fact change.) Please help. Thanks.

Yay! That's what it was! I must have checked the settings a dozen times, but somehow I missed it. Thank you thank you thank you.

Can't preview on Adobe Viewer in iOS 7

Hi,
When I preview a folio on indesign CS6, it can't preview on my ipad 4. (run iOS 7.0.4, DPS version - V28)
After build the folio,it appear a pop up message:
I've check all connections, restart the ipad, reinstall Adobe Content Viewer. But also same problem?
After I try to plug another old device - ipad 1, it works!!!
I don't know why??
Is the Adode Content Viewer not compartable in iOS 7.0.4??
Anyone can help! Thanks!

This does not help. I don't see any setting to change gender or anything. I'm only able to change the Language.

Can't drag effects into timeline in Fcp

Hello, so I just installed final cut studio 2 and am used to being able to drag effects (like dissolves and such) into the timeline right from the effects window. Final Cut is not letting me do this. Also I have this weird problem where I can't see anything i put on the timeline in the canvas. I can hear it when I play the timeline and I can look at the files in the viewer (they are quicktime) but not on the canvas. Occasionally I can see one fram and when the project is un-rendered and the red bar shows up above the timeline I can drag through and watch some of it. But never when playing. Weird dilemma. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

here's the settings: 640 x 480 ntsc 4:3, pixel aspect ratio: square, anamorphic not checked, field dominance none, editing timebase: 29.97, compressor: motion JPEG A, quality 100%
video processing: render in 8-bit YUV
I'm doing everything as i've always done with regard to transistions.. it just won't let me drag them in to the timeline.. this goes for everything under the effects tab: such as video generators: text and things like that. I appreciate your help.

How to preview effects on question slide?

Captivate 5
Win XPSP3
Problem: How to preview effects (such as drop shadow) applied to objects (jpg) on a question slide.
Situation: Quiz consisting of say 5 random questions pulled from a pool of 50 multi choice questions.
Question Pool Panel:
I am constructing the question slides in Quizzing workspace.
I can view the slide and add the questions and answers + any jpg images that may be required.
If I want to add a drop shadow to an image I select the object (img) and switch to the Effects panel.
I add the drop shadow and can make the adjustments BUT the effect is not visible on the slide.
The Live Preview button is greyed out and unavailable.
Preview options from the toolbar are....
F3 slide.... Does not show the effect.
F4 project.... would take too long AND would not be sure of viewing the slide to which I had added the image effect.
F12 browser.... shows the whole project with 5 random questions but not necessarily the specific slide.
I switch to Filmstip panel:
More preview options are available...
F8 this slide... If I select a blank random Question slide it pulls a question from the pool of 50 but not necessarily the one on which I am working.
F10 next 5 slides.... same problem as F8
Unacceptable workaround:
I can create another "test" pool containing one question.
Copy the edited slide to the "test pool and preview it from there with F8 or F10
A lot of extra work....
So the effect is working and would be applied to the finished quiz.... BUT.... I cannot (without a lot of P'ing about) preview and adjust the effects applied to a question slide.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Regards
Frank

If you want to test the effects on a particular slide from your Question Pool, and you don't want to have to publish all slides to see it, just right click the slide from the question pool, and select Move Question To > Main Project.
Then you'll have the ability to preview the effects as with any other slide. When you know the slide is completed, just move it back into the Question Pool.

Can we preview data after RKM in SAP in ODI 11g

can we able to right click and view data in models after reverse engineering in SAP in ODI 11g ??
Edited by: Drona on Mar 16, 2012 1:06 PM

No we cannot preview the data as SAP connection is made using Jco adapter.
We can only preview the data for data servers which are connected using jdbc.

A Better Way to "Preview" Effects in FCP?

Okay, in Motion (which I've recently started using), you can browse various effects (filters, behaviors, etc.) in the Library Pane and see a helpful little thumbnail movie, along with a verbal description, which gives you a good idea of what kind of "effect" that particular Effect is going to have.
I'm told (though I've not used either app myself) that both iMovie '08 and Adobe's Premiere have a similar mini-preview function to help you choose the right filter and/or transition.
So my question is (before submitting another Feature Request to the FCP team): what is the closest thing to this much appreciated function in the current version of Final Cut?
I'm currently working on a project which demands a very wide variety of different (and sometimes even intentionally cheesy) filters and transitions. So I seem to spend a lot of time in my Browser's Effects tab searching for "something different", or wondering "what the heck does this one do?" -- and often having to actually drop the effect and/or transition into a Timeline (and then reading e-mails while it renders), just to get a sense of what it actually does.
So...
— Has anyone created some sort of "FCP Effects Previewer" that mimics the kind of function already built-in to Motion?
— Is there a website somewhere with easy-to-search little examples of every Final Cut filter and transition?
— Or has anyone even a created a pdf with clear verbal descriptions and accompanying screenshots of same (or even just simple diagrams to illustrate all the different wipe transitions)?
So far my Googling on this topic hasn't been very successful, but I'd appreciate any tips on where to look.
Thanks,
John Bertram

Hi again.
FWIW, it was Motion which I've only recently started using. I've actually been working with FinalCut since version 4.5, though so far not for "paying clients" (in other words, just for my own indie film work, plus some pro bono projects for friends in theater and business presentations). So in that sense my work as a "professional" editor is mostly pre-NLE, cutting 16mm docs and TV episodes on Steenbecks a couple of lifetimes ago.
But you've raised an interesting point, which I guess could be summarized as the ongoing tension between making a Pro App "stronger" (more versatile, more compatible, more stable) while also trying to make its interface “friendlier" (easier to learn, easier to customize, easier to navigate, etc.). And I can certainly understand how, for those who've slogged their way up several years of learning curves, the former category is always going to be top priority in terms of how Apple allocates its development resources.
But whenever I venture into a previously unexplored quadrant of the Final Cut galaxy (and that can include even just an Effects Tab folder I've never opened before), I definitely experience that Newbie Chill all over again. So I've always hoped (perhaps naively) that FinalCut's development could pursue BOTH goals simultaneously -- overhaul the Media Manager; keep adding those new codecs -- while at the same time keep making the FCP interface a more inviting, more comfortable place in which to work.
When I think about the many FCP Feedback Suggestions I've submitted over the years (also for Logic Express then Logic Studio), I can see how a lot of them -- not all, but quite a few -- would fall into that second, “user-friendliness” category. The irony is that many of the feature requests I've submitted for the Consumer apps -- ways to make iPhoto, say (or Address Book, or Pages, or whatever) more powerful -- would fall into the first category, the it-really-should-be-able-to-do-this-or-that, "beefing up the engine" one. And those suggestions, when discussed in their respective forums, have sometimes drawn the criticism of "Hey c'mon -- it's just a Consumer App".
But every once in a while, a new version gets released, and some progress is made on both fronts. So I guess I’ll just keep tilting at both windmills for now.
Cheers,
jb

Can't move layers in Canvas

I'm working on a sequence with multiple video layers, and I'm trying to move them around in my canvas. Image+Wireframe is turned on, but I can't move anything. I highlight clip and then click and drag on the Canvas. The wireframe pops up, but won't move anywhere.
I can double-click to load clip in viewer and move it there and timeline updates just fine.
I'm sure that my chubby fingers have hit some kind of shortcut locking the video in place. How do I undo this self-sabotage?

Thanks guys for responding. I went through the usual steps of trashing preferences, shutting down the computer, going home, and drinking a beer. I got in this morning and booted her up, and now everything works just as it should.
No idea what it was. I'm positive that the tracks weren't locked, and I'm 95% sure that I was in arrow mode (I was selecting the layer right before trying to move it.)
I don't know what it was, but I hope it never happens again.
Thanks again,
Nathan

Can't see video in canvas window on my video Monitor!

I am having trouble seeing the video that is in my canvas and viewer Window on my video monitor. I Have firewire in to my DV Deck and S-video into my monitor. I can see when I play back at DV tape and everything digitizes ok so I know the firewire isn't bad. I have checked the Audio/Video settings and everything seems right with what the manual says to have. Am I missing something somwhere?

I am having trouble seeing the video that is in my canvas and viewer Window on my video monitor.<<</div>
Define "trouble." Can you not see it, or its it just difficult to see? Do you see it only when the playhead is paused? Have you checked to make sure View->External Video->All Frames is checked?

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.

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.

Movie thumbnail previews in Coverflow and Grid view...not there

I'm using Snow Leopard and have both QT-X and QT 7 Pro on my MacBook Pro.
In Finder, I have a folder containing several movie types including mpeg, avi, mov, qt, m4v, mp4, flv and wmv
I've noticed that I don't see thumbnail previews for any of these movies and wondered if anybody else can see their thumbnails, either in Grid View or Coverflow
In 3-column view, the thumbail appears once the file is highlighted.
In iTunes, the thumbnail also appears (for those that can be added to the Library)
I also have the latest Perian and Flip4Mac apps installed.
I've tried re-launching Finder after deleting the com.apple.quicklook.plist file
Thanks

I also tried this (deleting the Quicklook cache) and no luck, still the same issue.
I did a clean installation and this works
However, I did again the installation and imported my USER profile in FULL via the assistant when you first configured Snow Leopard (using an FULL BACKUP copy and/or Time Machine Backup) and then problem reappears
I have reinstalled DivX, Desinstalled RealPlayer deinstalled Perian and still the same issue. I cannot see the Thumbnails or the Cover Flow of the video/movie file such MPG, MPG, AVI, WMV but it works for MP4 I have for my IPod
I finally gave up and left this last installation and I did not have the energy to migrate my data, emails, settngs, etc manually.
By the way, the upgrade from Leopard 10.5.8 towards Snow Leopard 10.6 was smooth but the performance was awful specially after installing 10.6.1. With the upgrade I had the same issue with my USER account or with any, NO THUMBSNAILs for most of my videos enough though they are played correctly in Quicktime and Quicklook....
Any help????

FCP Canvas and Viewer

My FCP canvas and viewer appears to be showing my 16:9 footage in a letterbox format - not the same as usual - normally when I make the canvas full screen the footage will fill the screen - but now it is letter boxed, if you see what I mean!?
I am using FCP 5.0.4
Can anyone help please?

Widescreen mode can mean either letterboxed or anamorphic. Select a clip in the browser (or in the timeline for that matter) and hit command-9. Is the anamorphic check box, checked? If not, your original material is letterboxed and you've either got to live with it, or enlarge your images which will lose an enormous amount of quality. If your clips are anamoprhic, you've got to check the anamorphic check box in your sequence settings, then select all your clips, control click and choose remove attributes:basic motion. Should do the trick.
This can be avoided by making sure your sequence settings match your clip settings BEFORE you start editing.

Can you PREVIEW the DVD menu you're creating in FCP7 via SHARE

I can create it, but is there anyway of seeing it in a larger View then
the little thumbnail size window on the bottom right were you
add the elements?
Can you preview it in any way, like iDVD or DVDSP, before you actually do the burn?
I realize that may be alot to ask of this new mini-built in DVD burner feature, but I just
wanted to confirm you can or you can't. Also whether you have any control over
the size of the background picture you add in there, or if you stuck with whatever the
dimensions of the original media create?
Thanks.

GOT IT!
Copy the BDMV folder from the AVCHD disc to the desktop.
Use HandBrake to convert the .m2ts files to H.264
Then convert the H.264 files to an editable format.
Rather convoluted process but it works.
Anyone know a better method?

Can't preview "yellow bar" stuff

I'll make this as simple as possible.
When I have a clip that won't play back in realtime, Premiere often marks it with a yellow bar, indicating a belief that it can render the clip on the fly.
Here's the problem:
- This belief is commonly mistaken.
- Since it's marked yellow, not red, I can't render a preview.
Thus:
- It is impossible for me ever to watch this section of timeline without manually rendering and replacing it with the rendered file.
Outcome:
- This is not so much a performance issue but a logical loophole: I can't render effects that I absolutely know will not render in realtime. This can make the software practically unusable in certain situations.
The fix:
- The root cause of this problem is often not rendering effects, although it can be, and it's a logical loophole that needs to be closed regardless - if I hit "return", that's a very strong message that I want a preview rendered.
However, this is sometimes not the problem. Premiere Pro CS5 on my system, with the CUDA acceleration working, is more than capable of rendering advanced effects on the fly with 1080p25 material. The problem in my application is often uncompressed media, with which Premiere Pro CS5 has seriously crappy performance as I've mentioned several times previously.
So once again for the nth time, Adobe, can we expect any movement on this?
P

>> it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that it's Premiere that's
>> wrong because it's the sole remaining variable.
So, if I understand you correctly, you're saying that there is no
possible way that could be interfering with or
affecting ?
Sort of. At some point, it is the responsibility of the software to be
reasonably compatible with a range of environments. If I had several other
pieces of software giving the same trouble, I would be making these points
elsewhere, but that's not the case - everything else works fine. If some
microscopic sub-option of configuration is causing this - as is of course
entirely likely to be the case - then I would be overwhelmed with joy to
work constructively with someone to figure it out - but the only someone
who can really do that is Adobe.
And on another level, it is absolutely a disk bandwidth issue. If you
throw a ridiculous amount of bandwidth at it, Premiere works fine with all
codecs. Everything else works fine, and Premiere works fine on some codecs
without demanding excessive bandwidth. These facts localize the problem
really rather well to Premiere's file demuxer and codec handling modules,
and that's not a political point made in anger, that's just an engineering
deduction.
We have a very simple way to check your configuration, http://ppbm5.com
I'll look at that as soon as I get a free couple of hours.

I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success! I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported

I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success! I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported! Why is it taken so long and seem to stop but the activity status goes up ever so slowley???? Im using an iMac 7,1 2.4 GHz with 6GB of memory running 10.8.2 what am I doing wrong???

Rendering will take a very long time - I once needed 6 hours for a shorter high definition movie with plenty of effects.
What theme are you using and what settings?
The "places" theme needs a good network connection.
And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space.
And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space. Have you checked the available space on your disk?
What exactly happens when Aperture fails to render the movie? Are there any diagnostics, error messages in the console window, that relate to Aperture? Does Aperture alway stop at the same image or video clip?
if all fails, you could render your slideshow in two parts and combine the two videos on your DVD.

Canvas and View have gone green

The canvas and viewer windows in our FCP 5.4.1 are green and will not display video. We've restarted computer, and then re-installed FCP. FCP has been working well on this computer for over a year. Any ideas? Thanks.

sounds like something corrupt in your preference files
FCP uses these files to configure your set up ... when things go screwy its often a good place to start
note: reinstalling FCP doesn't help in this instance, because the preference files are not part of the install.
trashing your prefernce files can be done mnaually
but even easier is to use a nice bit of freeware caled FCP Rescue which is designed to perform this task ... it also lets you make a backup of your settings when they are good, which you can restore later if things go screwy again
you can grab it here: make sure you download the version that matches your version of FCP
