Can't see vray render elements in after effects.

Not too sure where to post this so i'm placing it in various forums, I'm working with 3Ds Max 2011, Vray 1.5 sp5 and After Effects CS4.
I want to save a render with various render elements such as zdepth, material and object ID etc all saved into a single .exr file so i can bring animations into After Effects and do DOF changes and colour changes quickly. The problem is that if i render the image and do a manual save as an exr it won't show any of the vray render elements when i bring it into AE.
If i set it to auto save as a Vray raw image but change the extension from vrimg to exr then it saves all the render elements but I lose the 'save as exr' dialogue box where i can chose bit depth and compression type.
If I render the image and save manually as an exr then i have all that but it won't save vray render elements, after using extractor the screen is just black.
In short i just want to be able to 'save as' an .exr and be able to see my render elements in the render, i've posted some screen caps below to show everything is as should be, any help is appreciated.
All elements present in render window
All elements active and selected in .exr save window.
After effects recognises the channels on import
Extractor recognises the channels
But the screen is black afer using extractor, the layer is in there as can be seen when it's moved out of position

fnordware, thanks i've put the files on megaupload, the links are below. i tried doing an auto save as you suggested but to no avail, as i say it will work if i tell max to save as a vray raw image and just change the extension but not as a simple 'save as'.
I've simplified these files, they should only have an rgb, an alpha and a zdepth. Anything you can give me will be much appreciated.
Raw image with ext change (works)

'save as' (does not work)

By the way i don't have the proexr plugin if that makes any difference but i think that's just to be able to see and select the channels like photoshop layers.

MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

It appears an SMC reset was required:

Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

Thanks, Bob. The website is OverflowToday.com but here is an audio show page to sample.

Quick render with CS4 After Effect

Gentlemen
Footage 1080p 24fps

Dear friends , I mostly work on my songs, they are 5 mins long the most, after adding all effect , transitions and etc, i send it to "Render Queue" to make a movie , everytime I send it to render queue to make a movie or render it, since my system is not all that , it takes about 20 hours to finish and I could watch my music video, but I was wondering if there is a short way to render my project or song, so I can b able to see the full song , find my mistakes and correct them.
The quality has to be decent, otherwise I won't be able to tell if the color correction I mde is good enough.
If the final rendering takes that long, I don't mind b/c I am gonna be done with my song .
Which will be a 720x480 quicktime HD.
Many thanks.

In your render queue click Best Settings to the right of Render Settings: and set the resolution to Half in the Render Settings window. This will make it so that a 1920x1080 comp will be rendered at a resolution of 960x540 and based on my tests, the renders tend to be about 1/3 faster:
The good thing about doing it this way is if you render to a production codec, and you like the test render you don't even have to bother re-rendering because you can just stick the clip back into After Effects and scale it to fit a comp using the NTSC DV Widescreen 23.976 Preset and render it out again:
Or if you're just going to put your video on YouTube or Vimeo I would use the Adobe Media Encoder YouTube preset and edit it to match your needs. Check here to find out how:
Also, if you have access to a Mac for rendering you should check out AERenderQ, which is a super useful droplet application that allows you to render your After Effects comps in the background using the Terminal, which can greatly speed things up.

I can't see the Array element in actionscript after updating to latest nightly build

hey guys... so i have a small issue... i just updated to the latest nightlybuild, and for some reason i dont see Array as a datatype in the intelasence...
When i do type "var temp:Array = new Array()" then i dont get any errors... but when i do "temp. " i dont see any functions that relate to the array datatype... i was wondering if thats a bug? or if its something that was taken out??
oh, and i can't see Filereferencelist in the intelessence either...

Does everything compile fine and the super class of your webservice is valid and in your library path?
Please see my previous post about playerglobal.swc being read properly. You can verify this in a few different ways: compile, expand the SWC in package explorer, search in the open type dialog, etc.
PLEASE make sure you're in a clean workspace. As I said before, once FB Beta 2 caches the SDK, you can't effectively force builder to refresh the cache. You can surgically remove the cache by deleting the .metadata/.plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.codemodel folder or you can start in a clean workspace, modify your nightly SDK, add it to FB and create your project.

Can't see anything in external drive after renaming a folder

Hi all,
I can't see anything on my external drive after renaming a folder. I have the drive set up as a Windows drive with access through the volumes folder (I had to transfer large amount of files from a PC and have it be readable on my MacBook Air); I read a FAQ to set it up a few months ago and it has been working fine since then. I saw the same issue come up with a PC HD on a PC, but the solution was for a PC. I don't see anything else like that in the support community (or if it's there, then I'm not searching for it the right way). There is no partition on the drive and it still shows as having the same amount of data written on the drive as before the accident.
Many thanks in advance!

If you upgrade the your router, it would be the firmware that will be upgraded. For more information regarding upgrading the firmware, try this link.
For your external drive, you might need to map the drive again with a different name.
Hope this helps.

Can't see desktop with blue screen after login

Hi
we have a server 2008 ent SP2 that sometimes when use remote desktop or via vmware console to access this server, after login we got blue screen and can't see desktop. after force reboot it recovery.
From application log, we find some error:

Hi,
In general, event ID 1530 means there are some data in the user profile are still be accessed when the user log
off from the Terminal Server. Please check if any of the data is still remained in the user profile supposed to be deleted. You can use Process Monitor or Process Explorer in order to find the software which is using the data and find the solution. If there
is no such data remained, the Windows have possibly stopped the process and deleted the data when log off. In such a case, you can ignore the Event 1530.
In addition, I recommend running SFC /Scannow from an elevated command prompt and check a dump file for Windows
Explorer under C:\Localdumps.
Besides, you can also download
Autoruns to troubleshooting Explorer issues. Please run Autoruns as Administrator, go to Options menu, Filter, select Hide Microsoft Entries and Ok. After that, open the Explorer tab,
and you will see all DLL that are running inside File Explorer, so start disabling and testing if Explorer crashed.

I can't see the "Render work area"

Gentlemen !
I work with
Adobe CS4 AE fully updated
Ram 6GB
Footage 1920x1080 24fps
Windows 7 Ultimate
Well, if I am not mistaking , there was something called " Render work area" as well as " Render effect area"
Evertime I wanna sync a part of a song with the lip syncing , the audio is off a bit, but I remember there was a way to render just a part of the video before rendering the entire clip or there was a short cut such as space bar or enter, but seems like that don't work either , any help will be appreciated greatly thanks.

Hehehe,
It is a piece of software that you buy. The site has several plug ins that we find usefull, and with all the different types of Lip-synching out there (using phenomes with static mouths etc) this one just looks the most natural to me. It is also highly customizable and nice to work with.
Since it is midnight there, in a few hours time, the rest of the regulars will be up and about - I am sure they can shed some more light on the "Render work area" question you still have.
Good luck.
here is a link to a really good tutorial on using built in After Effects tools (no extra cost) I find this is perfect for cartoon type animation lip-synching. The reason Auto-lip synch is better for us, is that we want our characters to look more real and alive.

Third party app can only see but not use library after current update

An application that has been using the iTunes library to play music from play lists can no longer read and use the library but can only see the library. This is happening since running the iTunes update to 12. I have corrected the problem by reloading maverick and loading music into iTunes after a fresh install. The app works again with a fresh mavericks install. So, now what is the order of operations to backdate to an earlier version of iTunes? My library can no longer be read by the mavericks install as it has been updated by iTunes 12.
I am using an external drive FYI.
I was thinking I would use the mavericks install and create a new library on the external and move the music folder to the same directory and then add the whole directory. Then one by one import the play lists.
I don't know what to do about the artwork directory? Do I move it and replace the same folder in the new mavericks library directory? Will the above process complicate the assignments?
If apple reads this... The version update that did away with coverflow was the beginning of iTunes decline. It wasn't broke. It was close enough to perfect as a library management tool. You should make the next version closer to that one.

I had a similar problem when trying to install Zinio.air. I have made it all work out. What i did was remove Adobe Air 15 entirely from the Utiliites and Library/ accounts and preferences. I then downloaded Adobe Air 13 and installed and then clicked on Zinio .air and it all installed ok. I also had to temporarily change security settings from Apple approved to Anywhere. All functioning now.

Can't see each other on network after installed OS 10.9.3

After i installed OS 10.9.3 on all of my Mac stations, they can't see any of the Mac anymore. The network router works fine, but they just won't see each other. I found these problem after install OS 10.9.3 to 2 of my Mac Pro. They can't connect to the Macbook Pro runing lower version of OS 10.9.2. Please help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can't see what I am typing after logout from Xorg

Hello,
I noticed this problem a few years ago , I thought that it was related to my computer, of something I was doing wrong, but I noticed that this problem appears every time for me, with every computer. I'll try to explain it, but it will be hard
So, this problem appears at least in the two following cases:
- After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) without any xf86-video-driver installed, it crashes (as expected), and comes back to tty.
- After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) with the right xf86-video-driver installed, it works. I see my windows manager (Openbox) I click "Logout" to come back from X to tty.
But, once I came back to tty, I can't see what I am typing in the terminal (like a freeze). My commands are executed (I can logout) but I don't see what I am typing. If I try to edit a textfile using nano, it seems to be frozen. The only solution after that to see what I am typing is to logout, and login again. The only solution to edit a textfile using nano after that is to reboot my computer...
Haven't to noticed that ? Am I doing something wrong ? Isn't it a bug ?
Thank you

Can't see audio wave in viewer after FCP5 project updated into FCP2

After updating my project from old FCP 5 version running on Tiger to FCP2 running on Leopard, I can't see the audio wave picture inthe viewer window. Is there an explanation for this?
Thanks assistance.
Ray

You can try clearing the waveform cache in your project folder. Press Shift Q to open the System Preferences window. Look for the location that is set as your Waveform Cache location, then use the Finder to navigate to that folder. Remove the cache files from there, and then try relaunching your project to see if that solves your issue.
