Can't see the anchor point or bezier handles when editing an effect

Please help! This may be an easy fix, but when editing an effect I can no longer see the anchor point, keyframes, or bezier handles on the timeline image. Specifically, I am keyframing the Brush Position in the Write-on effect, and while I can move the brush position, there is no visual cross-hair on the image nor bezier handles to adjust the curve... every adjustment is therefore a guess as to where the adjustment handle is.
Is there a button that toggles anchor point and keyframe path display? Obviously, not being able to see what you're working on is very frustrating. I tried to click the icon to the left of the Write-on effect bar (4-point square with the selection tool in the upper right), but nothing happens. The write-on effect bar is selected and the Brush Position is in keyframe mode.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I worked with this the other day. Bezier handles and the hot spots are tough to see and the write-on effect is a bit wierd for me. You may have more success placing keyframes at beginning and end of a clip as I had trouble keyframing only part of a clip and still controlling the writing effect. You can then slide the keyframes later to change the duration.
Also, you may want to disable all the other effects while editing this one, as the others keep getting selected instead for me and I end up e.g. moving the image instead of the brush.

  • How can I move the Anchor points of multiple layers to the same position within comp?

    I have a comp of a butterfly that I want to copy the keyframes to many other butterfly comps, but to get the animation to work, I need all the anchorpoints of the individual layers to be at the exact same location within the comp (So the left wing, right wing, and body anchor points are right on top of each other)
    How can I accomplish this quickly? I have a lt of comps to do...
    Thanks all!

    I would have set this up in Illustrator Before you started. Start with a rectangle that has either fill or stroke on a layer but the opacity is set to 0. The center of the rectangle will be the anchor point for that layer when you import as a comp maintaining layer size. Now create your left left side contents on the left side of the rectangle and repeat for the right side. Import as a comp and you'll be golden.
    Here is a sample file and what the file looks like imported as a comp. Notice the x values of all anchor points are identical.
    The artwork isn't great, it was created in less than a minute but it porves the workflow.

  • I can't see the circle and central round button when I drag for Radial Filter.

    I have upgraded to LR 5.7. Suddenly I can't see the circle and central round button when I drag an area for Radial Filter. I also can't see the starting round button when I try to use Adjustment Brush.
    My system is OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1, MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB

    Try pressing "H" for show/hide pins. Will turn it on or off.

  • Can I Move the Anchor Point for Adjustment Brush in ACR CS5

    It's never been a problem before, but the anchor point for the Adjustment Brush in ACR is sitting exactly where I need to see what is happening.  I can delete and start again, but if there is way to move or hide the anchor point while stil being able to adjust the setting, it would be handy to know for next time it happens.

  • How can I reset the anchor point to its default?

    One of the other guy using my machine screwed up the default anchor point position for text layers & for the life of us, we can't figure out how to reset it back to its default (centered on the text layer).
    Right now, it appears a the bottom of the text layer (bottom left if left justified, bottom right if the text is right justified & bottom center if cerer justified).
    Just to be clear, when typing out a brand new text layer, the anchor point does not appear in the center of the layer, as it normally does. Hitting "reset" in the tranform controls always moves the AP back to this position (ie, if I use the pan-behind tool to put the AP where it needs to be, then hit "reset", the AP moves back to the lower left corner of the layer)
    I'm sure it's got to be some keystroke combination of some kind...
    Anyway, does anyone know how to set it back to its default? It's a pretty big pain to have to manually set the anchor point for every text layer, and I kinda want to leave the "delete-your-prefs" option as a last resort...
    thanks

    As Rick said - there is no way in hell the text ever could have been perfectly centered to begin with. the behavior you are seeing is perfectly normal. Whenever you change the text, the anchor point will respond in kind. Only fixed size text blocks will reverse that principle and fit the content to the bounding box, leaving the anchor point unchanged.

  • Can you change the anchor point of a swf in CP5.5?

    I have created a small swf in Flash and have published it.
    I've imported the swf into CP5.5 and applied an effect of anti clockwise rotate and assymetric zoom out in an effort to get it to spiral backwards into oblivion.
    However, it seems to rotate the swf from the top left corner.
    Is there a way to change this anchor point to the centre of the swf?
    Regards

    Col,
    The anchor point of an object in Captivate is always the top left corner of the bounding box. No way to change it (have been pleading for that since long). Only exceptions are Rotate and motion effects, where the center is used.

  • HT1351 when my iphone 5 is connected, i can't see the content in itunes library.  when i have an older ipod plugged in, there is a button to view what's on the ipod but not iphone.  how do i see the music stored on iphone 5 in itunes??

    When i connect my iphone 5 to cpu, i cant figure out how to see the music held on phone.  When I click the "iphone" icon, it pulls up the options (summary, info, music, apps, etc) but when i click music, it just gives sync options.  When i plug in an older ipod, there's an option to see what's on the ipod but not with my iphone 5.  how do i see the music stored on my iphone in itunes?

    There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.

  • How can I get the QUICK  DEVELOP  panel to appear when editing video in Lightroom 4

    When editing video, the only panel that appears at right hand side is the the one silimar to the developing of still shots. But of course, it is greyed out, thus preventing its use when editing video.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • Visually animating the anchor point

    Hello,
    I need to do a lot of animation stand type moves on a bunch of still photos... "the ken burns effect" or what have you...
    I prefer to do these animations by animating the scale and the anchor point, instead of the center, since that will make the moves a little easier to control, but i can't figure out how to visually change the anchor point, instead of entering numbers, I'd like to use something like the cross hairs i can use to modify the center paramater... possible?
    Also, to ease in and ease out of the moves, I am able to smooth the scaling paramater by right clicking on the keyframe and selecting smooth, but no such option appears on the anchor point or center point keyframes, so i can't smoothly finish a move that has both a zoon and a pan...
    any suggestions?
    Josh

    Type a number, any reasonable number (like 35), into the Anchor Point parameters box. In the Canvas, if you set it to show Image + Wireframe, you will see the Anchor Point you just added.
    Now, hover your Selector pointer over the point, and your cursor changes to look like the Distortion Tool. Click and drag it. Coopl, huh?
    For Ease in/Ease Out, right-click (or Control Click on the Anchor Point in the Canvas. Then you see the Ease in/Ease Out option. Same thing for Center Point.

  • I can't see the java errors   (ISA 4 - WAS 6.40)

    Hi everybody,
    Why I can't see the errors originated in jsp?  when an error occurs, the ISA (b2b) displays a blank page only. =(
    Should I make a configuration in WAS or ISA for enabling this ?
    Thanks a lot ! Regards from Mexico.
    Diego

    I had the same situation. You get blank screen if you have (some specific)exceptions thrown in your code. My suggestion is to encapsulate your jsp code in try catch block and manually print out the exceptions on to jsp page using out.println() statement.
    hope this helps.
