Cannot add motion path to particle cell
I have created a mask of an image and used it as the particle for an emitter. When I select the particle and go to add behaviour and select mtion path it does not add the behaviour and the two expected points do not show. I expect I am missing something simple but I feel I have had this work before but cannot get it to work now. Thanks for any help
Yes! Thank you Thomas Reed. That worked--switched to Rich Mode.
Just for future readers--what I meant by the mail reference, was that the same Plain Text document, pasted into an email, could have the link added. But I am so glad not to have to go through that process over and over. Thanks so much.

Particular 2 - orient particles to motion path?
I have a particle system set up using a Light Motion Path to dictate where particles should go. Is there a way to orient the particles to the motion path? (Like arrows following a path). I know Particular 1.5 couldn't do it... wasn't sure about v2.
Is there another way to go about this? (In example 1, I could duplicate a bunch of layers and offset them in time, but example 2 wouldn't be so easy)
Here's how it is now (which is not how I want it)Excellent! Rock on!

Cannot add component with id '_id0' and path
Hello together!
Thanks for your help so far you really helped me a lot.
Now most of the time my application is working fine, but I get sometimes the error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: cannot add component with id '_id0' and path : {Component-Path : [Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlOutputText,Id: _id0]} to its parent component. This might be a problem due to duplicate ids.
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:121)
org.apache.myfaces.component.html.util.ExtensionsFilter.doFilter(ExtensionsFilter.java:122)
What can I do to prevent that?
Thanks a lot.I don't know if the html could would help, but I post it anyways as I am really going crazy:
This is the code at the begining:

How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a separate clone stamp?
How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a clone stamp without the clone stamp assuming the same initial/continuous positions of the tracking point?
Is there a way to keep the clone stamp's initial position and then add the path onto it?
I am using the clone stamp to remove unwanted duct tape that was used to keep lights on a wall.I have spent two days trying to find a solution to this exact same problem. I have seen some overly complex solutions that probably work but trying to figure out the explanations is like trying to understand someone describe drag coefficients of rotary wing aircraft. While I am sure they work, they are way above my comprehension. I wanted an intuitive and straight forward solution for something that shouldn't require some arcane technique to fix.
What I did:
1) I used the Clone Stamp tool to paint over the spot on the wall I wanted to remove.
2) picked a more easily discernible point of reference for Tracking. In my case, I used a poster on the wall.
3) As per the instructions here, https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/removing-an-object-with-clone-stamp, I pasted the Attach Point data from the Tracker into Clone -> Transform - > Position
However, that didn't work for me as the object I was painting was not the object I was tracking. The solution from the video was simply moving my cloned spot to the tracked object instead of leaving it where I wanted it. So...
4) I then manually adjusted the Anchor Point of the Clone back to the original spot I wanted to cover.
I played footage and the cloned region successfully moved with the spot I was covering.
This is what I was able to figure out. I'm not an advanced user. I only use After Effects every couple of months when I need to fix minor things in footage, so I've only learned to use what techniques I need for the job at hand. No doubt, experienced users may shake their heads at my simplistic fix. I'm sure my technique would be wholly inadequate for situations far more complex than fixing spots on a gray wall, which is why my eyeballs cross when reading suggestions that seem way more involved than one would expect for something as seemingly minor as this. It's just a spot! It should be super easy to remove, right? Well, that's what I was looking for and that's what I came up with. I hope it helps. -
I cannot see the yellow motion path in the composition window
Yesterday the motion path was visible after unchecking and rechecking the motion path box in view options. But today it's not visible after trying several times the same thing. I'm trying to animate text using a path animation preset. I'm using an Imac with 24 gigs of ram and After Effects CC.
I am very new to this program so I could be missing something very simple. Please help if you can.
Thanks,

Using Light as Motion Path for Trapcode Particular
Hi,
I am trying to make an animation for a project, but I cannot figure out some things. I am trying to create the effect that a person is throwing money out the back of a car. I have the live shot of the person in the car, but I cannot get the money to behave how I want it to. I am trying to use the Trapcode Particular, but I can't get the particles to follow any motion path. When I set the settings to motion path, it prompts me to create a light. I create a light, but can't figure out how to make that light have an actual path rather than simply being a spot light. Please help! I'm sorry if I don't make any sense, please ask me to clarify if you need it.

Because you are doing it all wrong! If you wanted to use the Motion Path option in the Air physics model, your light would have to be exactly named like that - Motion Path 01. It's not what you want, though. I'm 100% certain of that. You are looking to create a conventional light emitter, which is a whole different thing. For that, your light should be named Emitter (or whatever other prefix you define in the plug-ins Options/ Settings panel). Then you must set the emitter type to Light. If you use spot lights and want your money to emit directionally, you need to set the emitter to Directional as well. Apart from that, Particular will use the light's color, cone angle and intensity to colorize and eject the particles. After that, you can animate the light in 3D space to whatever you need it to do.

Unable to set custom speed to motion path on Camera
This is a followup question to "Controlling speed along motion paths"
(Many thanks to Mark Spencer and specialcase for the their excellent insights getting me this far =)
After experimenting with motion paths and realizing they were indeed what I was looking for, I set up my project so that the camera would follow specific paths along 2d images. Everything worked perfectly until I tried to modify the speed along which the camera travels along those paths.
In the motion path, in the speed drop down menu, I can select Constant, Ease in etc.... all the way to Custom, but they work slightly differently than I expected: while before (ie. applying motion curves to objects as opposed to the camera) I was able to getting a diagonal line in the Keyframe Editor where I could modify keyframes using bezier curves to adjust the speed, now, choosing the various speed options appears to change the "Transform.Position.X" and "Transform.Position.Y" curves directly.
When I select "Custom", "Motion path" and Custom Speed" appear in the keyframe menu above the Camera drop down, but its curve appears only as a dotted, completely horizontal line in the graphing window. The "Transform.Position.X" and "Transform.Position.Y" curves also revert to horizontal dotted lines. If I try to add curves to the custom speed line, the X and Y curves remain horizontal and the camera does not move.
Is there some reason I cannot get custom speeds for cameras without losing my motion path data?
Is there some way to work around this?
Thanks again for all of your help,
TimI'm not sure if there is some setting I have wrong:
When I try this, while I am able to set keyframes, the motion path data is reset. (ie. the Transform X and Transform Y curves reset to 0).
In the Keyframe Editor, I can make new curves for the X and Y values and for Timing, but the camera does not follow the motion path, it follows the new x and y curves. Trying to get those curves to match the motion path exactly is a large hassle.
This might help:
If I apply the motion path to an shape rather than to the camera, everything works perfectly (the object moves along the motion path, and I am able to set keyframes for the Custom Speed curve with no problems whatsoever). If I then copy the motion path directly from the shape and paste it to the camera layer, the path appears as a red curve (as it should), but the camera does not move.
Is there some way I can upload the motion file so that you can see what exactly is going on?
Thanks again,
Tim -
How to animate a sequence of shapes on a motion path
Hi All.
I am trying to animate a moving line of dots on a curved motion path but can only do one at a time. What I need is a stream of dots moving along the line as I need to show something 'coming from here and going to there'. I've tried to get a particle emmitter to spit out dots that follow the path but no joy there. I can't do it with a replicator either. Will I just have to laboriously animate one dot then dupe it and offset tons of copies to get the effect? Seems a bit long-winded.
Any ideas would be very greatfully received.
Many thanks
Roger Harris
Quad G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)Refer to specialcase's tutorial on drawing lines with the replicator, and you'll have the basics. It's a stellar explanaexplanation of the Sequence Replicator behavior and how it can be used to animate things. Ms. or Mr. Case rules.
http://www.motionsmarts.com/tutorials/drawinglines/drawinglines1.html
Beyond that:
- draw a dot
- draw a wavy line with the Bezier tool
- replicate the dot
- in the inspector under the replicator tab, change the shape to geometry, then drag your wavy line into the shape source well
- increase the number of points 'til they fill your line
- go to the behavior button and add the Sequence Replicator behavior to the replicator
- add opacity as the parameter and start mucking about

Hello All,
Is there a way to copy an object's motion path to a paint stroke for write-on?
I have an object that moves from point A to point B in a nice arc (keyframed path)
I want to use this exact path, and have a stroke/paint stroke write on as the object moves from point A to
point B following the arc from the objects motion path.
I can do this with a straight line, etc, but have not yet discovered how to have my "line" follow my moving
object. I have also done this by "drawing" a line, but I cannot match the path well drawing freehand, etc.
I thought this would be "easy".
thanks,
eholz1Hello Todd,
I think I have tried this, but perhaps not from the keyframe editor.
I will give it a shot, and let you know if it works.... Stand by ... trying now...
Well, almost figured out - but tricky (at least for me!) This is only for the path, I have not
figured out how to add a stroke to the path, etc.
I did the following:
I created a new layer called "Tracking Line". I added a "link" to the position parameters of the moving ball (with
the arc path) Right click position under the object's parameters in the inspector. I selected the moving ball for the shape parameter for the link.
Then I got a path that follows the arc, but. I had to change the offset parameters for x and y for the link.
So I have a path of sorts that matches the arc.
I have yet to see how to add a stroke to this. It also my be all wrong!
Thanks and keep me posted.

I am trying to illustrate how planes fly
I am tryin to show air particles over and under a wing
I have an emitter with 0 speed
wind blows the partilces across the screen
I need for the wind to follow a motion path so the particles follow the same path and thus showing how they move across the wing. I guess you cant apply a motion path to wind. Cant seem to get the particles to move as fast or as slow as I want while moving on the curve that I want.
I have v1, maybe in v2 you can do this?? any ideas.
these forums always help me but this one might be a challenge.Heya,
As far as I know, you can't shoot particles along a path...but you can move replicator cells along a path. If you use the line-drawing technique found here and apply a Rate parameter behavior to the replicator's Offset value, you might be able to get something you'd like.
I knocked together a quick example movie with two replicators with different rates.
Good luck with your project! -
Symptom One
You attempt to
schedule a backup every day via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2. At the beginning, the backup works without issue. But after a few days it failed and you receive the error “Windows Server Backup:
The system cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue may occur if there is
no shadow copy storage space available on the backup volume.
Verify
You can use the List ShadowStorage command to check if you have enough storage space to store the newly created shadow copy. If you've reviewed the size of the backup snapshot and discovered
that there is no allocated space for the storage association, you need to resize shadowstorage.
Solution
You could run the command below to create shadow copy storage space on the backup volume:
vssadmin resize
shadowstorage /for=<ForVolumeSpec> /on=<OnVolumeSpec> [/maxsize=<MaxSizeSpec>]
More Information
Vssadmin resize shadowstorage

Symptom Two
When you add
another external hard drive to backup schedule via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012, it fails and you receive the error “The System cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue is due to the
Original Destination Disk was not attached to the server.
Verify
You could check the disk status in Disk Management to see if the Original Destination Disk is offline or removed.
Solution
You need to attach
Original Destination Disk to the Server then choose another external hard drive as backup target. After that, you could remove the Original Destination Disk.
Workaround
To work around this issue, please use the WBADMIN command line tool to add disk.
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget :{ DiskID}
The AddTarget parameter takes disk ID as parameter. It can be retrieved by running "WBADMIN GET DISKS" command.
Example:
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP
-addtarget :{ aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63}

The system cannot find the path specified - Problems
I am having an issue that I am hoping someone can help figure out for me.
I am currently learning Java, and am working with the Beginning Programming with Java for Dummies book second edition. I have downloaded and am running the Java 6 program and am using the JCreator 3.5Pro that was recommended to run the Practice files for the Dummies book.
I have the practice files here:
C/Program Files/Xinox Software/JCreatorV3/My Projects
While trying to compile one of the practice files, I get this error message:
--------------------Configuration: MyNewProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
javac: file not found: src_mynewproject.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)
Process completed.
**When I try to execute, I get this error message:**
--------------------Configuration: MyNewProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: EchoLine
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: EchoLine

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: EchoLine. Program will exit.
Exception in thread "main"
Process completed.
When I set up the new file, and the new class, I confirmed the file path.
I know most people will ask if I am absolutely certain I put in the code in properly, and yes I did. It was a matter of copying word for word, and punctuation. I did it 100% correctly. About 12 times. I have NO idea what this means, but I would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help on this.
Please keep in mind, I am slightly clueless, and really need to have any help dumbed down a bit. Lol.
As a side note, this isn't my first project, and I haven't had this problem before now.
thanks in advance. =)So I wanted to clarify what I've done a bit more since I decided to redownload the dummies programs for the program and try again.
I will try to list my steps in order of what I did and see if I've gone wrong somewhere along the line.
I downloaded my project files from here: http://ca.dummies.com/store/product/Beginning-Programming-with-Java-For-Dummies-2nd-Edition.productCd-0764588745,navId-322469,descCd-DOWNLOAD.html
I unzipped them this time here: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\MyProjects\
I opened JCreator 3.5 and starting fresh, with all previous projects deleted and clicked on "Open Workspace". I chose "MyWorkspace.jcw". Right clicked MyWorkspace and chose "Add new Project" and then chose "Empty Project". As per the books instruction for the first project, I named it "MyFirstProject". My file path was: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\MyProjects\MyFirstProject. Which is where I upzipped the files. I added it to current workspace and clicked finish.
I then added a new class. As per the books instructions, I right clicked "MyFirstProject" and selected Add New Class. For the name, I used MyFirstJavaClass, which is what the book told me to do. My locations are the exact same as above. and I clicked on Generate new Method, as it told me to. Which it doesn't in the next few lessons, so I know this has nothing to do with it. For that and a few other reasons. Lol.
I clicked on Finish.
All I had to do was replace a single line of code. Not type it all in this time.
Here is what shows up on the screen:
class MyFirstJavaClass {
* Method main
* @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO: Add your code here
I need to change the : // TODO: Add your code here
with the line:
System.out.println.("Chocolate, royalties, sleep");
When I do this, and compile project, I get this:
--------------------Configuration: MyFirstProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
javac: file not found: src_myfirstproject.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)
Process completed.
AGAIN! But it worked a few days ago.
And when I execute, I get this:
--------------------Configuration: MyFirstProject - JDK version 1.6.0_21 <Default> - <Default>--------------------
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyFirstJavaClass
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: MyFirstJavaClass

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: MyFirstJavaClass. Program will exit.

I really hope the extra info helps someone help me!
thank you!

System cannot find the path specified when sending emails with attachments
I've had an on going issue for some time on one of my clients whereby users will intermittently get this error "The System cannot find the path specified." when they try to send an email with an attachment.
The issue seems to arise generally (though reportedly not only when) when someone creates an email and attaches a file but leaves it for some time before finishing and sending.
The staff run in a Windows 2008 R2 full Terminal Server desktop environment on Office 2010 (32-bit 14.0.7140.5002) and several staff have reported the same issue.
I have been able to replicate the issue in their environment by creating an email and leaving it for some time.
After a fair bit of scouting around I found that if I monitor the temp directory that the attachments get placed into (content.outlook under Temporary Internet Files on user profile) and found that the directory with the attachments would disappear after
a period of time which would then cause the error where obviously Outlook could not find the file that had now gone.
I don't know of any Outlook settings that would cause this and the issue isn't related to temporary Internet files filling up as I've recreated the error on a user account where there is nothing else stored in the Temporary Internet Files.
To work around the issue I have changed the reg file that tells Outlook where to place these files (HKCU/Sofware/Microsoft/office/14.0/outlook/security - OutlookSecureTempFolder) to a location in the users home drive.
This appears to resolve the problem however I am noticing 1 issue with this. Unlike the temp folder which gets purged after a file is no longer required, the location I've changed it to does not clear out old files.
While it shouldn't be too difficult to add a script that can clear the files at log off it would be good to see if anyone may know what the cause of the problem in the first place is. I would rather it work as it should than have to bodge around changing
the folder and scripting file deletes.
Does anyone know of what maybe causing the attachments and content.outlook folder to disappear?
thanksDo you have any redirected folder in your environment? Is the original Temporary Internet Files folder stored on a server?
Basically, the attachments remain in the Outlook Secure Temporary File folder if we exit Microsoft Outlook while email attachments are open. See:

Tween or Motion path for blank keynote with animated stars?
I create star particle effect from this tutorial: http://www.schoolofflash.com/2008/03/flash-cs3-particle-effect/ and got help from this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5518425 in order to get what I wanted. My code is:
var starsArray:Array = new Array();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(50);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, addStars);
myTimer.start();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveStars);
function addStars(e:TimerEvent):void
var star:Stars = new Stars();
star.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
star.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
star.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
star.scaleX = star.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
star.xMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
star.yMovement = Math.random() * 10 - 5;
starsArray.push(star);
addChild(star);
star.cacheAsBitmap = true;
function moveStars(e:Event):void
for each (var star:MovieClip in starsArray)
star.x += star.xMovement;
star.y += star.yMovement;
star.alpha -= .01;
star.scaleX = star.scaleY -= .01;
if (star.scaleX <= 0)
kill(star);
function kill(star:MovieClip):void
starsArray.splice(starsArray.indexOf(star), 1);
removeChild(star);
However, I wanted to move the star particles around. The problem is that the star isn't on the screen, but is called in the actions in the blank keynote. I don't know what I should do next to get the result. I looked up online for tweens and motion paths but all i see is that they required the star to be right on the screen, I think? I also heard something about the compiled clip but I don't know how I should go about creating one and using it to move around the stars while it's animated with all the actionscript. All I wanted is for the star particles to float around the screen (on a path that I can draw out if possible).....Each star is created in the addStars function. Its position is set in the first two lines:
star.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
star.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
So, to move each star to a new location when it appears on the stage, you'll need to change the x and y property values for each star. One simple way to do that is to use that same Math.random() function.
Try changing those first two line to:
star.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
star.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;
