CS4, Rendering order question

When outputting in adobe media encoder, does it render layers that have another layer over them? (both have the opacity set to normal, the lower layer is not visible at all, only in a few places it becomes visible so going around cutting everywhere that it will be visible is going to be a huge pain).
Reason I ask is because even though its not visible at all it still plays back sluggishly in premiere until I disable it(its an AE linked file with a few heavy effects). So I'm wondering if when actually rendering, does it calculate/render the ae linked layer even though its completely overlayed by another layer.
Many thanks in advance!

Basically, it will Flatten/Merge (the terms used in PS with Layers) all Video Tracks (not normally called Layers in PrPro) into one. That is what will be Exported - the Flattened/Merged Timeline.
This is why, with a Rendered Timeline, if you add just a single Title on a higher Video Track, you'll get the "red line." That Clip has now changed, and the result of the combo of the new Clip (the Title) and the underlying Clip (the Rendered footage) is now different.
As for playback, the Exported file will be Flattened/Merged, and will also no longer rely on the DL AE Comp, so it should be smoother. However, your system will likely be the judge of whether it can playback smoothly enough.
Good luck,
Hunt

    ok.  I hope someone can answer my question.  I am new to photoshop.  I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work.  How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is...  Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

    The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only.  After that, the software ceases to work.
    CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe.  It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
    Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
    What kind of "designer" uses it?

  • CS4 Student Edition Questions

    Hi, I'm currently a student at Seattle Art Institute and need to get CS4. My question is, if I get CS4 Student Edition is it any different than the regular CS4? Does it not include some things that the other has? Also, when I graduate will I have to upgrade to a regular CS4 in order to do my own personal work or can I just use the Student Edition. And lastly, will I be able to use the Student Edition for internships? Thanks for any help,
    -Eric

    I'm aware this post is rather old, but I was curious as to where you got this information? The "US" website does not say that, and I purchased the student version and talked to three different Adobe associates over the phone (including the supervisor) all of which said that here in the US you absolutely can use the Student edition of CS4 for commercial work.
    EDIT: never mind I saw your link. You're right about it NOT being able to be used for commercial use in the UK.
    I was worried for a second. Here in the USA you can use it for commercial work. Just called and verified the difference on the phone yet again...lol
    UK no USA yes

  • If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on my iMac will I be able to open my Photoshop CS4 in order to resize

    If I upgrade to Mountain Lion on my iMac will I be able to opwn my Photoshop CS4 in order to resize and adjust RGB of photos of my artwork? I use the Photoshop for very little else at this point in time.
    Thank you

    Hi Veraforvictory,
    There are no known issues affecting compatability with OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and Photoshop CS4. As always, make sure you back up your hard drive before you update your operating system, but there should be no problem using Photoshop CS4 when you upgrade!

  • Changing the component rendering order

    Hi
    I am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 and i have 3 task flows in my jspx page with one gloabal select one choice. When i change the selection in global select choice, all 3 taskflows need to refetch data and refresh. The task flows are added in the order of T1,T2, T3 in my jspx page.. If , at run time, i got to know that T1 takes 10 seconds, t2 takes 5 and t3 takes 2 seconds, then , can i change the rendering order to t3,t2, t1 programatically? Basically can i do addPartialTarget programatically to render the components in the order i wanted..
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    you can't change the rendering order, but the refresh order as you pointed out.

  • X:dataTable sort arrow rendered as question mark (?)

    Hey All:
    I am using tomahawk 1.1.3 and when I use sortable columns with x:dataTable, the sort arrows are being rendered as question marks (?). Any ideas?

    were would be the place to find the original system install CD.
    Ideally, your friend:
    My Friend gave me his Old Imac G5
    The Apple Store may have original system install discs but I would be surprised since no Apple Store in the US that I know of sells them any longer.
    It will not be free, but if they have one that would be the best option. Otherwise you will have to peruse the used market. In the US that could be Amazon Marketplace or eBay. I do not know where you would start in India, but many eBay sellers ship worldwide.
    Make absolutely certain you are getting a full retail installation CD and if it is Leopard or Tiger, make sure it is for your G5 and not an Intel iMac. System specific disks are grey in color and will not work except for the exact system with which they were included.

  • Partial Page Rendering - newbie question

    I am a newbie to ADF and I am in the process of trying out the tutorial "Developing Ajax-Based User Interfaces with ADF Faces Rich Client Components" http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_56/jdtut_11r2_56.html
    I have a question regarding Step 4. I am not very sure where to post this question, if this is not the correct forum, pardon me.
    Under "Step 4: Implementing Partial Page Rendering" there is this following comment
    In order to have a refresh of the Product Details when you select another row in the Product table, we need to set the Partial Rendering behavior. To do so, perform the following steps:
    Similarly On Step 3, sub step 26 states "Finally, double-click on any of the rows in the product table. Notice that the Product Details pane does not reflect the change in the selected product. To implement this synchronization, we need to add partial page rendering functionality."
    Question: even before I tried any of the changes mentioned in step 4, I am finding that the product details pane does show information related to the product selected on the panel collection (in other words it is displaying the master detail information automatically). What am I missing here? As per the training document it is supposed to work only after implementing changes mentioned in step 4. Can one of you kindly point out if this is a mistake in documentation or if I have misunderstood the statement?
    Thanks
    A Sreedhar

    Frank,
    Thank you very much for the quick turnaround; I appreciate it.
    Yes, I am using what seems to be the latest version of JDev (11.1.2.3.0); and yes the ChangeEventPolicy for the iterator is set to "ppr". Thank you for pointing that out.
    Does that mean ppr is standard for most components (when I say components, I mean adf tables, button's etc), don't we need to add any special events to get that to work?
    I just wanted to see, what will it due if the ChangeEventPolicy for the iterator is set to "None"; made the change saved it, there were two iterators I changed the "ChangeEventPolicy" on both to none; saved it and ran the page. It worked same as before; I was expecting it will not load the corresponding data at the child level, but it did. can you kindly point out what is wrong.
    <executables>
    <variableIterator id="variables"/>
    <iterator Binds="root" RangeSize="25" DataControl="StoreProducts" id="StoreProductsIterator"
    ChangeEventPolicy="none"/>
    <accessorIterator MasterBinding="StoreProductsIterator" Binds="products" RangeSize="25" DataControl="StoreProducts"
    BeanClass="tutorial.model.Product" id="productsIterator" ChangeEventPolicy="none"/>
    </executables>

  • AFTER EFFECTS CS4 Rendering Problems....

    Hey people I have been having some rendering problems on CS4 It's very random when i'm getting these errors, sometimes it's just for the one frame..which i'm not bothered about because at 60fps, 1 frame isn't going to be noticable. But at the end of my last render, the last 10 frames are like this, but differ between pink and white at the top. (see picture at the bottom)
    Here are my settings
    lossless, with audio checked
    avi output format
    no compression method
    Also i've re-rendered the dodgy footage in sony vegas but that didn't change anything
    that is what the frame looks like....
    If anyone can help me id be so thankful.... so please post!!!
    also if you have any questions just post and i will get back to you ASAP

    Since we don't know what this frame is SUPPOSED to look like, it's extremely difficult to offer up a solution.
    If you're talking about the weird color in the corners, you can work in 16 or 32-bit comps, or add a little noise to the image.  Not much.

  • Moving Multiple Albums & Album Sort Order Questions

    Hopefully this is a really easy question to answer, but I just can't figure out how to do this.
    1. Can you move multiple albums around in Aperture? I just imported my iPhoto libraries and I'd like to groups a set of the albums that I have into one project. The problem is that I can only move one album at a time.
    2. Can you specify the sort order or manual set the order that albums appear in projects or folders? It seems that Aperture automatically sorts them alphabetically.
    Thanks!

    1. Can you move multiple albums around in Aperture?
    unfortuantely, as far as i am aware you can only move one at a time
    2. Can you specify the sort order or manual set the
    order that albums appear in projects or folders? It
    seems that Aperture automatically sorts them
    alphabetically.
    you are correct, automatically alphabetically only ... i haven't been abble to change this at all ... the only way to force something else is by adding a ~ or other character that is ahead of 0 ...

  • Photoshop CS4 Experience, Problems & Questions

    Hi all,
    i just installed my Production Suite Premium on the following System (fresh install, clean System, no other versions of Photoshop):
    Intel E8500 Dualcore
    Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2 (Driver Version 178.24)
    3 GB RAM
    Windows XP Professionel SP3
    Photoshop has its own Scratchdisk assigned with at least 50 GB free Space.
    I know that the 9800 GX2 is considered to be a "Gaming-Card" but as a freelance artist i work for the game-industry on many occasions and I need a decent gaming hardware to test what I am working on. As far as I know, the card meets all requirements for CS4 and Nvidia tells me, that their GPU's are perfect for CS4. (wasn't a problem with any version before, I use Photoshop AND Nvidia-Cards since Photoshop 4)
    Here are the things that bug me:
    - Photoshop disables the OpenGL Features on random occasions, stating, that it has encountered a problem. This happens either in Two GPU-Mode or One-GPU-Mode.
    There's no obvious reason for any errormessage, because IF Open GL is activated it seems to work pretty good, zooming and rotating works quite well and fast. I noticed, that the problem happens either after saving my file or when i open photoshop.
    - Photoshop crashed on several occasions mostly concerning heavy transforming of multiple layers. It simply didn't respond anymore in the midst of the transormation-process.
    My guess is, that this is also linked to the GPU/Driver. System-Memory is checked, GPU works like a charm in all other applications. CS3 has not once crashed in one year, so i guess it has to do with the changes made in CS4.
    Strange thing is, that even with open GL deactivated, the above written problems occur. I would have thought, that with OpenGL dectivated, Photoshop would somehow become kind of CS3 again, but it seems, there had been to much changes to simply disconnect photoshop from it's new OpenGL interface.
    Apart from these two Problems, Photoshop CS4 is doing ok. It feels kind of sluggish compared to older versions, but that might also change with some new drivers.
    Sad thing is, that the rotate canvas feature and the extended moverange for images, the main reasons why i upgraded to CS4, are only working with
    OpenGL activated. I really hope there will be a fix in the near future.
    There are other questions concerning PS CS4's usability:
    - The Scale-Brush Feature uses alt + right mouse buttons, what seems kind of strange when using a stylus (Even more when using a stylus without buttons like the wacom layout-marker).
    I would prefer another combination of keyboard shortcuts plus stylus movement ctrl + alt for example. so far i have not found a way to remap the keys. Am i missing something? Or is this impossible?
    - Is there a way to get window behavior back the way it was in CS3? The new way of handling windows is ok, but i liked the old one better. If i disable "floating windows docking" there's no way to maximize a window INSIDE the photoshop workspace. The maximize button on top of every window is right now completely useless because it maximizes the window AND gets rid of all the menus and palettes. I don't see why i want to do that.
    That's it. I hope this is useful either for the guys at adobe or for other users. Every new Photoshop-Version has had its problems, i hope that these will just be dealt with like the ones before.
    All the best,
    Pickman

    Photoshop CS4 does cause crashes. I can vouch for that too. When it happens, the first instinct is almost always to assume that something is wrong with the computer and start from there. Comments to this effect are prominent in many threads. It is also Adobe's prevalent approach. So people experiencing these problems will tend not to post on these forums. Statements like 'because there are only a few posts, a significant number of people are not experiencing [these] problems' are therefore unfounded. There simply has not been time yet for people to resolve potential hardware/system problems.
    In my case, I started experiencing unexplained crashed with CS3 in July (see below) but it was only when Adobe admitted that they could be partly to blame that I posted my experiences (elsewhere) on this forum.
    Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have installed Photoshop CS4 on a newly reformatted HDD containing a fresh clean installation of Windows XP/SP3, fully patched, with everything working hunky dory, and no legacy installations of Photoshop or other CS software to worry about. All the same PS CS4 keeps crashing. The symptoms are unexplained total freeze ups occurring at random. I may get several hours use, sometimes a lot less, before I am forced to reboot and start all over again. Certainly the ability to do any useful work is severely compromised, and yes, the first inclination is to blame the hardware or system installation.
    The thing is I had been chasing a similar, probably related, problem with CS3 (possibly caused by cloning my system drive, see http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6bd8d/ ) while Photoshop was still activated, so I have had several months head start over anyone who may now be experiencing similar problems with CS4. As a result, Dell, whose support has been great throughout, have replaced just about every component under the hood of my PC, certainly everything that could be causing a problem. (GPU, CPU, memory, MB, PSU, disk controller, disk cables...). As a result, I am running a virtually brand new computer. Hardware and system problems have been all but eliminated. I have all the latest drivers for everything. It is virtually a brand new computer!
    Yet PS/CS4 keeps crashing for no reason that can be established. Adobe have given me lots of homework to do to try to find out what affects it or remedies there are. It is all very tedious, but so far, nothing...
    I am coming to the conclusion that there must be something intrinsically wrong with PS/CS4 that makes it incompatible with some systems and software installations, but not necessarily because of any fault with the latter. I have to say that, after initially trying to push me away, Adobe are being very helpful and clearly want (need?) to get to the bottom of this. The trouble is that when the system locks up, it is completely and utterly paralysed, so any diagnostic and error reporting systems are inoperative. This suggests something beneath or beyond Windows, and, if it is not hardware, this points the finger of blame squarely at the activation software, which uses rootkit technology. (Would this be the same on a Mac, I wonder?)
    For the record, my system is a Dell Precision 370 desktop with Dell/Phoenix BIOS A08, 3.2GHz Pentium 4 CPU, Intel 925X chipset, 2MB ECC SDRAM, Nvidia Quadro FX3450 graphics, 2x Seagate 146MB Cheetah 5.5k disks (SCSI) in non-RAID configuration. From the limited experience I have had, it seems perfectly capable of running the software (apart from when it crashes, of course.)

  • Pre-Order Question

    So I pre-ordered Titanfall for Xbox1, but I won't be in town when it comes out and one of my friends really wants to pick it up on the 11th at the midnight release. Is there any way to change the name on the pre-order, or would I have to cancel the one I have and create a new pre-order?

    Hi cgarvey4,
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we don't currently offer a way to update the name associated with pre-orders. To have a friend pick up the game for you, you would need to cancel your existing pre-order and place a new one in their name. Also, remember that pre-orders must be picked up within 5 days of the title's release! If you aren't able to pick up your copy of Titanfall within that timeframe, then it will be returned to store inventory and made available for purchase to other customers.
    Let me know if you have any other questions!

  • Pre-order question for iPhone5/Verizon

    I have a quick question...
    My wife and son currently have the iPhone4 with AT&T and they are now out of contract.  I'm currently on Verizon.  I want to change their carrier and pre-order the iPhone5 for both of them from Verizon.  I want to add those lines to my existing Verizon account and transfer their numbers as well.  Would I be able to do this through this through the Apple Store's web-pre-order system? (or possibly Verizon's?) or will I have to speak with someone about doing this?
    Thank you so much in advance

    Here's what AT&T had to say about new customers when the 3GS was launched. I'd guess the same applies to iphone 4:

  • Quick photo ordering question...

    I am in the process of ordering a bunch of photos, and I have a question: When I select the photos, say 25 of them, then select "Order Prints", I see all of my photos in a list, but I have to select the quantity for EACH PHOTO! Is there ANY way I can just say "print 1 4x6 of all pictures"? I will be doing more photos and I hate to have to go to each one if I have an album of 40-50 pictures.
    Thanks in advance!
    Ken

    Up in the top right corner, you should see a Quick Order label and a double-arrow button. Click the up button once and it will do exactly what you want.

  • IPhone pre-order question.

    I pre-ordered my iPhone 4 to be picked up at the Apple Store in my area. I chose the 32G like I did last year, but I've never used more than 12G at one time, so I think it's a waist to get the 32G, so I'm wanting to know when I pick up my iPhone 4 32G, can they change it to the 16G? I've tried calling the Apple Store and Apple's main line and apparently they don't staff enough people to take calls when it gets busy. Apple's main line won't even let you wait to speak to a representative. If anyone knows the answer to my question, please respond.

    Most likely they will not be able to answer your question now. I would think they will be willing to give you the 16 GB instead of the 32 GB you pre-ordered, but it's going to depend on the available stock in whatever store you're picking up at, at the time you get there. If they've sold out of the 16 GB model, then can't change your order.

  • Shall we fix rendering order?

    Hi all,
    I am using one custom component inside UIComponent like the following way.
    <h:inputText id="a" value="abc">
    <myTld:myCustom/>
    </h:inputText>
    At the time of rendering:
    <myTld:myCustom/> is rendering first and then <h:inputText/>.
    I wanted in a reverse order.
    i.e. <h:inputText/> should be first and then <myTld:myCustom/>.
    Is there any way to achieve this.
    Any help is highly appreciable.
    Regards,
    Ram

    The inputText rendering mechanisme renders first the child and afterwards , the input text it self.
    So do not encapsulate your component in the inputText but outside of it
