Cineware External Compositing Tag solid not lining up

I'm working on a pretty simple animation to show off my clients new iPhone app. The problem I'm having is 2 fold, first when I use Cineware, the screen plane that I have an external compositing tag on, to create a solid, the solid doesn't match up to the movement. It lags behind kinda catching up, but not completely.
Second, out of desperation, I thought I'd try rendering out from C4D, and importing the AEC file, but that doesn't even have the solid in the composition? I tried a very simple animation with just a spinning plane, and the solid in Cineware was doing just what I have above, but when I rendered out the aec, and imported everything was lined up.
You can download the scene from my DropBox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dpnzjvjp8otqyt/3D-iPhone.zip
The compositing tag was working in Ae before I started to animate the phone, so I'm really confused as to why it doesn't line up! What am I doing wrong? Any help is really appreciated!

Ya, I forgot to mention versions C4D r14 and Ae 2014.
Could you do me a favor and render just one frame of the file, and see if you can get the aec file to import the solid?
Any suggestions on getting around this bug? I could step back to Ae 12.2 if you had it work there for you?
I really appreciate the response, yes this is a rather infuriating bug! I'm a couple hours of work and a couple hours of rendering from being done with the project and then this....

Cinema4D lite to Ae - External Compositing Tag - drifting... help

Trying to finish a job, at the last stages, everything is good to go using cinema4D lite and Ae Cineware. I've set up a couple of video boards and animations in cinema 4D lite (with external compositing tags) and back in after effects extract the camera from the cinema project... but no matter what I change, the position of the 'external compositing tag solid' drifts and doesn't align properly to the video boards... changed it to +Z as other forums suggested but no difference?... I even created a simple new scene, with one plane to see if my project had some setting wrong but the same problem... any ideas how to fix this?
Here's the test files... notice the red solid drifts in and out, not following the camera move correctly in after effects
Dropbox - Test C4D to Ae plane

Had a look at all the camera settings and they all match, frame rate of the scenes match too... just did a bit more experimenting with that simple scene with one plane and got it to match by changing the camera rotation order to XYZ (which messes up any previous rotation keyframes) ...AND here's the kicker... I had to convert the keyframes to linear... the default F-curve 'easing' that cinema 4D lite creates IS NOT translated into After Effects! (In my case anyhow) What a pain.

C4D External Compositing tag not working with Cineware AE CC

I've got a problem which shouldn't really be an issue but I can't seem to get my head around… I understand if this is a mouthful or I think I'm explaining jargon which you're already aware of, so apologies in advance but it's best that my question's clear…
I've created a scene in C4D which consists of a book opening to a certain page which will have an image on it. As it opens onto this specific page, the camera zooms inside of the image on this page, which then cuts to footage from our edit.
The image which is on the page is going to be a 2D graphic element created in AE, and this element needs to track with the 3D data which was created in C4D so it appears seamless (once the tracking data has been imported into AE and I've applied the graphic element to the page).
In the C4D scene; the page which will contain the image has a null with an external compositing tag attached so that the information will translate once imported into AE. The problem is that when I export my C4D file into AE with the 3D data, the null which should be locked on the page where the image should be sitting, isn't synced to the C4D animation at all and it's moving almost to its own key framing.
I'm using After Effects CC and Cinema 4D R15 if that helps. AE CC now uses CineWare instead of the traditional importing of 3D data from C4D.
I've also attached the project files if it's worth looking at. Files OriginalPageTurn_1.1/1.2 are just XRef links for Passport_1.4

You need to remove/ temporarily disable the Cineware plug-in and install the AEC importer. That's a known conflict.

Cineware Limitations (cloner w/ external compositing tag, camera morph tag)

Hi!
I've made the switch to AE CC 2014 and have been trying to use cineware instead of working with an AEC file. I have ran into some issues though. If I animate a camera in C4d using the Camera Morph Tag, The animation doesn't get extracted into AE with Cineware. This also happens if I add an external compositing tag to a cloner object. Both of these worked with the AEC file, but do not work with Cineware. Whats the deal?!

The Camera Morph uses Python/ XPresso under the hood and needs to be baked. The external compositing tag is somehow borked. You can try to clone it to a Matrix Object with Nulls. This may work.

External compositing tag in after effects cc

I can't get an external compositing tag made in cinema 4D R15 to work correctly in AE CC via Cineware. In cinema 4D I have an asteroid following a spline from 0 to 100% and I need the keyframes for position in order to attach at the 3D null Trapcode Particular emitter with fire and smoke particles. Problem is that in Cineware I don't get keyframes for position of the 3D null.
Everything works perfectly in my Aec file in AE CS 6 so it is not a problem of settings in Cinema 4D. Is it a bug or there something wrong with my AE CC installation?

You need to bake the spline motion in the Timeline editor. That's what happens when you create an AEC, anyway. As to why Cineware doesn't behave in the same way, is anyone's guess. Yeah, perhaps a bug, but what else is new with C4D?

Cineware, external compositing, and easing

apparently there's a known bug with Cineware and AE CC 2014, described here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/kb/c4d-ae-cc-2014-timed.html
the workaround to use After Effects 12.2 (CC) doesn't seem to work - i get the same wrong results as with CC 2014.
is there any other workaround, without buying Cinema4D, or do i have to look for anything special when using the plugin?
at the momment, the plugin is quite useless to me, as the 3d information is just not lining up correctly.
thanks in advance
tom

Hello Tom,
Thank you for calling attention to that document. It is out of date. The known issue has been resolved as of After Effects version 13.1 (CC2014) Make sure your software is fully up to date. If you are still having problems, send me a direct message and if you send me some sample files, I can address the problem in your project.
Thank you,
Greg

Give swipeleft/right gestures to multiple external compositions that are loaded with composition loader by Edge Commons

Hello,
I have multiple external compositions that I load in my Edge project, with the composition loader by Edge Commons.
I would like to connect these external compositions with swipeleft / right gestures.
When I give the containers (where the external compositions are loaded in) the swipe gestures, it
works perfectly. But when the external compositions are loaded, the swipe gestures on the containers doesn't work anymore.
So is it possible to give the external compositions the swipe gestures. And that when they are loaded in my Edge project, the external compositions can communicate with each other.
For Example:
External composition one is loaded and when I swipe to the left, external composition 2 will slide in from right to left.
I think it must be that the external compositions have a function to control the timeline in the Edge Project.
I hope that this is possible and can help me with the code. Or have another solution.
Thanks!

I think I have the same or a similar issue.
I am using a modified version of Edge Commons - Extension Library for Edge Animate and Edge Reflow | EdgeDocks.com
to listen to touch swipe events in an external compositions.
var promise = EC.loadComposition("publish/comp_01.html", sym.getSymbol("content"));
     promise.done(function(comp) {
           var stage = comp.getStage();
       // Listen for events dispatched by the external composition
                stage.$("bg").swipeleft(function() {
                      EC.loadComposition("publish/comp_02.html", sym.getSymbol("content"));
                stage.$("bg").swiperight(function() {
                      EC.loadComposition("publish/test1.html", sym.getSymbol("content"));
This works great for the composition loaded by this script, but the comp.getStage function does not pick up on swipe events on anything other than the .$("bg") in this composition.
For example I have 30 compositions each with a .$("bg") but only the one loaded by this script works with this script. I am looking for a way to universalize the event listener to work with every .$("bg") loaded into my main stage symbol.
Do you or does anyone else have a solution?

Bare in mind that Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the same music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

I have done the following:
Downloaded the patched hal version.
used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
have i done something wrong?
br fjodork
WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
pacman -Rd hal
it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
options=('!libtool')
install=hal.install
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
hal
hal-policy.patch
cryptsetup_location.patch
hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
'882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
'5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

Try uninstalling all USB hub devices from the device manager and reinstalling them again, particularly the keyboard's.

Hello,
I am trying to add an object tag in jsp page. it is working fine with html page but it is not recognize by the jsf.

Thank you.

Hi Timo,
I added the tag you mentioned nothing change the red line still there. But, I did something else and I do not know if this has any thing to do with the problem.
What I did is:
the tag is working fine in html page and here is the tag in html page:
<DIV STYLE="position:absolute; top:100px; left:50px;">
<table border=1 cellpadding="0">

As I mention before once I copy the previous tag into jsp page the red lines appears. in jsp when I convert the word from uppercase to lower case the red lines disappeared and I am able to run the page but the tag is not functioning. the changed tag is:
<div style="position:absolute; top:100px; left:50px;">

Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive. "Could not complete backup to media share. The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features." What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).
