CS5 Animation Timeline problems (display/graphics glitches)

In CS5 12.0.5 x64 I use the Animation Timeline to create frame by frame animations and most of the time it works fine. However recently I am encountering a problem with the display. The problems seem to happen whenever I make a selection with the lasso and do a Free Transform (it especially doesn't like rotations). The 'marching ants' along with the entire display seems to freeze up and not respond. Clicking other layers will not change the 'frozen' image until I make a stroke with the tablet or mouse, then the image refreshes to the new selected layer, but stays frozen in the same way, and so on. The animation in the timeline will not playback through the frames/layers once this happens and I have to restart the program. Then the bug happens again as soon as I make another free transform. It doesn't seem to affect all my files, only certain ones where I use the Animation Timeline.
I have an i7 processor with 12gb of ram and an EVGA Geforce GTX 560 Ti with the latest drivers. I have OpenGL turned off and have deleted my preferences.
Here are my performance settings (this may be the problem?):
I Let Photoshop Use 6319 MB (58%)
My History States are 65
Cache Levels are 4
Cache Tile Size is 128K
Scratch Disk is just C:\

It kind of sounds like a memory or video driver issue. What resolution is your document set at?
Mylenium is correct. When creating frame based animation each frame is linked to a layer. So to animate the motion of the selected portion it needs to be on new layers as it moves (each time you rotate or move, create a new layer. The smaller the increment the more layers needed, but will produce a smoother longer animation). The stationary portion(s) don't need to be on new layers because they are not moving and can be seen due to the transparent areas around the selection.
I hope that makes sense.

Problem displaying graphics

I wonder if someone can help me:
I had a web designer create a website for me using iweb. She uploaded it to my host (not .mac) no problem. She sent me the domain file so I could add to the website. I added some hyperlinks and text to a couple of pages. I uploaded the changes to my host and... now many of the graphics have black boxes as their background instead of blending into the background of the website. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi,
in my mind I saved some posts mentioning problems while using Fetch. Maybe I'm overestimating the number of those posts but you may want to try Cyberduck instead anyway (it's free).
Also mirroring is not always reliable. Sometimes changed files don't get uploaded. You may want to try to delete the page and the folder of the page containing the content of the page from the server and re-upload the whole folder. Using mirroring it's good practice from time to time to delete the whole site from the server and re-upload it to delete obsolete files and make sure the newest version of everything gets uploaded.
It may also be that the problem lies in your browser which caches the sites (memorizes what the page looks like) so it doesn't need to reload the site next time. Which is good because it speeds up the navigation but it's bad because you don't always see what the page really looks like. So you may want to empty cache and reload (Safari=>Safari menu=>Empty cache). Cacheing is extreme for iWeb pages (that's my experience and experience of others too).
Also if you publish to a folder open the website from the folder itself, does it look ok there? If yes then it's good and you only have to upload everything. If it doesn't look good from the folder itself either then it gets a bit more complicated (but that shouldn't be the case...)

Cédric

CS5 Animation (TimeLine)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong if anything. I have two layers, with the top layer being my Merged 3D Layer comprising of 3 postcard layers. Im transitioning from one side of the background image to the other. In the animation time line I have the top layer open and am using the 3D object position to move the 3d layer. When I go to render the animation only the first 80 frames are being rendered, same when I try exporting it to a Quick time format.
Any help as to why only the first 80 frames are being rendered would be helpful.

Figured it out, Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Memory Usage.
Now it fully renderes all frames.

Indesign CS5 crash during startup - problem with Graphics.rpln

I work in an architectural company and already several of our computers have experienced this very rare and unusual behaviour. During start up of Indesign (not clicking on any file but just launching Indesign) it crashes with the following error:
"Adobe Indesign CS5 has stopped working"
We use Windows 7 64bit, so the first step I did - I went into Application Log which says, so appears to be a problem with Graphics.rpln.

I have tried everything I could think of - removed and reinstalled Adobe CS5, manually removed Adobe folders under %Appdata%\Local and %Appdata%\Remote folders (why can't Adobe delete those things during uninstallation is always a total mystery), changed video adapter drivers, cleaned Temp folders, everything I knew...
None of the other apps like Photoshop or Illustrator CS5 malfunction - only Indesign. What is going on?
Can it conflict with other software we use? We have Bentley Microstation, 3D Max, Office 2010, Kaspersky Antivirus and LOGMEIN installed on this computer...Any clues, guys?

Looks to me like you've never installed any of the patches. Last patch for CS5 was 7.0.4, so I'd start with that and see if ti helps.

Graphical Glitches: Objects appear not selected when they are, Symbols not appearing correctly

I've been having a ton of graphical glitches with Adobe Flash CS6 and I can't for the life of me figure out for the life of me.
Things that happen:
Objects will not appear selected when using the Free Transform Tool.
Symbols don't appar in scene when pasted, or dragged in until I leave the scene or symbol im in. They show up in the preview window though.
Something else I've been noticing is that when I use the Pen tool my computer or speakers or something making this werid noise and it only happens when I'm using the Pen tool.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No one has had these issues? I just got another one. My timeline disappeared, I don't mean the menu hid or thats it not there. It's there its just not actually displaying the Timeline or at least it didn't till I wen't back a few changes for some reason. It was still there though as I could click the eye and lock and the layers (which ones I have no idea) it was all grey. Also again the selection area doesn't show up, all movements of symbols are slow to update their postitions and when I turn on outlines it does nothing.
Also everytime I close Flash I get an error from windows, no idea why.

Macbook pro retina graphic glitch

Hello,
I'd like to share with you my story with the problems I've had with my macbook pro retina 15' 2012 (with both intel and nvidia graphics) and ask for some help.
First of all, back when it still had Mountain Lion as its OS I already detected some graphic glitches. When I started the mbpr, 1 out of 5 times it would load buggy. The dock would shake whenever I move the mouse over it, exposé would lag a lot and eventually scrolling in Safari was terrible, incredibly shaky. Basically every animation on the OS went laggy or just at 10 fps.
However the performance in terms of speed and results was still OK. If I played a game I would detect no error whatsoever.
So after some months of ignoring it because I had work and couldn't take the mac to the store I decided to take it. It was getting worse as it started to happen more often than usual. By then I had already upgraded to Mavericks (no clean install, just updated) and the problem still persisted.
Visit #1:
After explaning the problem and being able to show it to the genius they took my mac. They called a couple of days after telling me it was a OS issue and they did a clean install of Mavericks.
So I took it home, reinstall everything from scratch, they told me it may be an account/user issue so I better not use time machine to recover anything.
After a month it started to happen again. I have to say that it happen after I had already installed everything quite some time before, not right after installing any particular app or while running any.
It would load buggy again 1 out of 2/3 times and it wouldn't stop until I restarted and if I was lucky enough it would load OK.
Visit #2:
I returned to the genius and explained again the problem. They decided that it had to be some graphic issue related to the intel or nvidia systems so they replaced the logic board.
Again a couple of weeks later I detected the problem again.
Visit #3:
Once more to the store, they were quite puzzled that even after replacing the motherboard it would still show the issue.
After doing some tests they decided to reinstall Mavericks. Once installed they found no issue so they decided it was solved.
After this I had to return once again because it turn out that they forgot to connect the keyboard backlight system and it wouldn't light.
Anyway, this time I decided to install only the absolutely necesary apps for my work. I even downloaded the newest versions of all of them (if they had newer). Most of those apps are from the Mac App Store and the ones that are not are absolutely famous and used by thounsands of people, not that I use alphas or betas of any app.
One important detail is that the problem was getting worse. Now every time I started the mac it would be buggy and it was extremely shaky, it was impossible to read while scrolling in Safari now. Sometimes when using exposé/mission control it would even show weird pixels on screen. Every time I had this problem it was worse, more shaky and more often.
Visit #4:
Being already a VIP visitor of the genius bar I went decided to solve the problem once and for all. I told them every detail, they saw the problem and I insisted on the software I had was completely "normal". They told me they would replace the screen, the logic board again and the IO just in case.
So imagine my surprise when I receive a call from the genius who was repairing my machien saying that after reinstalling Mavericks it showed no issue! I was furious. They insisted that it was some app I had installed and that I needed to install one app at a time, wait ONE WEEK and if nothing happens install the next.
They were not kidding aparently. After complaining I had no choice but to take my mac back and....here I am.
So my question (after the diary I've written, sorry) is:
Is this really being caused by an app I have installed? Is really an app capable of crash the entire animation system and only while in the OS UI and not in games? I've never had any app running on the background besides Fantastical (from Appstore) and Dropbox (updated).
I am listing the apps I had last time I resintalled everything:
1. 2Do (appstore)
2. Indesign CC
3. Appcleaner
4. Autocad 2014
5. World of warcraft
6. Dropbox
7. Evernote (appstore)
8. Fantastical (appstore)
9. Keynote, Pages & Numbers (appstore)
10. Pixelmator (appstore)
11. Sketchup 2014
12. Skype
13. Steam
14. The unarchiver
15. Transmission
16. VLC
17. iPhoto
So, 17 apps, which I believe are just a few. Is there any of those apps you think may cause any issue? I haven't installed anything yet. I am using my old macbook pro (which btw have every app I had in the buggy retina with no problem whatsoever) while I try to see if the problem persist while installing nothing.
I still don't believe it is a software problem. Since it appears every time sooner and with more "intensity" I suspect it might be hardware but I am no expert.
Thanks for any help or info you can share!

Go for a few day (2-3) without installing any apps. Then install AutoCAD 2014 first and run only that for another couple of days. See if the problems resurface. If not, go ahead and reinstall all software, making sure that you create a clone after everything's installed (try Carbon Copy Cloner - they have a few 30-day evaluation period, I believe).
If problems resurface, you'll know that it's hardware.
Good luck,
Clinton

Severe Safari graphical glitches MacBook Pro Retina 15"

Hello. I have been having these annoying glitches since the day I bought my MacBook Pro Retina 15" on December 2012. These are not those almost invisible glitches present on the support topics currently. They are incredibly large, sometimes filling an entire webpage with a blank rectangle or parts from other pages (even tabs that were already closed).
I am absolutelly sure this is something to do with the crappy Intel HD Graphics 4000 board, because these gliches only occur while I am with the "Automatic graphics switching" option selected.
I have also noted this only happens on websites that use a lot of javascript animations.
Let's put this in topics:
The problem happens when:
Using automatic graphics switching (using Intel HD Graphics Board)
Using Safari 6.0.2 and Mac OS 10.8.2
Browsing websites with heavy javascript animations
The problem disappears when:
NOT using graphics switching (using Nvidia board)
Using any other browsers (tried Chrome and Firefox)
What I have tried and did not fix my problem
Fixing permissions
Resetting the SMC
Here are some examples:
And now some examples with the graphics switching off (Using the Nvidia board)
Any advice would be very welcome. Thank you for reading!

Apple - Feedback
Have seen similar lines and artifacts on Safari on my 13" MBP. It's a software bug and based on your additional findings, linked to bad drivers for the Intel 4000 chipset. File your findings with Apple on that Feedback page for your respective system. Make sure you provide all the info like you did here. Someone will eventually see it and add it to the engineering things to fix if it hasn't already been addressed in the soon to be released 10.8.3 build.

Yosemite 10.10.1 major graphic glitches

Macbook Pro retina 15
Just upgraded to 10.10.1 this morning. Shortly after upgrading in the middle of workflow, I had a bright pink momentary flash on the screen and afterward, I am troubled with major graphical glitches system wide.
These are most apparent in iPhoto and finder.
iPhoto does not display anything within the display frame. The entire frame outside of menus is black.
in Finder cover flow view, all images are 4x their normal size, so I only see the bottom left corner of the images. Seems like a retina display issue.
Thanks for any help.

Somewhat similar graphic problem with Yosemite 10.10.2. My problem is that the screen gradually goes mosaic with small tiles, often of the background image. Seems to happen most often when iPhoto is open and running. One sample is attached. Been to the Apple Store twice. They replaced the graphic card to no avail. They ran it through the usual suspects. Apple reinstalled the OS, twice, and I gradually put most apps and files back that I need. Didn't do anything. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Graphic glitch and freezing.

I had a graphic problem with my iMac 3 weeks ago, had to take it to an Apple repairer 3 hours away, there just isn't anyone closer, and have had it back for about 6 hours now. I got the Snow Leopard upgrade while it was away and have been looking forward to getting into it all. As soon as I got my iMac home I fired it up and straight away noticed a graphic glitch or something odd on my 2nd monitor, kinda looked like aliens from space invaders... This problem went away if I changed that monitors resolution or if I rotated the display, so I thought it might be a driver problem which should hopefully be fixed by upgrading to SL.
I attempted this upgrade, it seemed to go fine but when I finally got into SL I noticed that once again there were some space invader glitches, but instead of being huge and all the way across the 2nd monitor they were in 2 separate blocks 1 in the top left and one just slightly to the right from center at the very top, they were flashing green from time to time (just like before) but that was about all. After a few seconds all the icons on my desktop and also the dock icons screwed up, display as black and white lines, or weird colored blocks, or super pixelated and just pretty screwy.
I formatted from fresh doing Leopard (without updating fully to 10.5.8) then installing SL, same problem, I then tried installing just SL which worked as usual but still had the graphic glitches when hovering over or interacting this time, also there were some problems with the glitches showing over windows (I'll put a link to a screenshot of them at the end). I'm currently updating a fresh install of Leopard to 10.5.8 to then update to SL to see if that works.
I had a thought that it might be hardware, the logic board and graphics card were both replaced during the repair time, they said they tested it but on the repair form I got it just says 'restarted a few times with no problems' so I'm not sure if they even tested it very much.
It took almost 3 weeks to get my mac back today, and these problems are quite annoying, if I have to lose it for another 3 weeks because of this lack of testing I'm gonna be rather annoyed as I'm losing work because of it.
Anyone got ideas of what it might be? or just anyone else had this problem with SL or just Leopard? Any information would be great.
Screenshot of glitch while doing a google search:
http://www.xager.net/i/glitch.jpg

My old first gen macbook pro had a similar problem (under Tiger and Leopard), it was fixed. My current unibody macbook pro is doing this as well, I've only noticed it now under Snow Leopard.
I doubt it's a software problem, I've had similar issues in PCs when their video cards were running too hot. My current mbp gets these glitches when the system is under more load and so I'm sure its heat related. One time the heat and glitches got so bad the system just locked up.
I hope you can get your system repaired. I am going to now go ahead and try my luck with apple support as well.

Photoshop CS5 and 3D problem

Hi!
I installed photoshop CS5 Extended and unfortunatelly the 3D menu options are all grayed out.
My graphic card: ATI Radeon HD 3600
I enabled the OpenGL drawing. In the Preferences menu the 3D panel was active after i turned on the OpenGL drawing, but everytime I want to use some 3D feature the program tells that - for example: "The command create 3D from 2D is not currently available." OR "The command create repoussé from layer mask is not currently available."
I don't know what could be the problem or maybe I need better graphic card?

Hi, for some strange reason all of the 3D menus in my CS5 extended are not displayed on my workstation but up and active on my laptop and I just cannot find the reason why. I have a Radeon 4870HD 1GB DDR5 and have downloaded the latest drivers including open gl3.2 but it makes no difference, have you any idea would could be wrong.
I have looked in Menus and all of the data is there but it just wont display on the menu bar, its driving me nuts!
Many thanks David

Photoshop CS5 - Image resize problem with move tool

Hi People
Here's my problem
When I try to resize an layer using the move tool (as opposed to the Free Transform tool), while I'm in the process of moving the scaling handles, the bounding box reflects my movement but the layer preview stays at it's original size. When I stop moving the handles there is a few seconds delay and then the new scale size shows up. If I try to move the handles again, without commiting to the transform, the layer preview reverts back to it's original size until I've finished moving the handles.
I didn't have this problem with CS4 and I've only recently upgraded. I work around this problem by using the proper Free Transform tool (ctrl+t) but it would be nice to know why the hell this happens. It seems to me to be more of a graphical glitch than a software preference but I thought I'd check just-in-case.
Specs:
Photoshop CS5 V12.1 x64
PC
Intel Xeon W3505 @2.53GHz
Nvidia Quadro FX580
12 GB RAM

I also read you you tried updating your video dirvers and your syste crashed and you had to roll back. Make sure you have downloaded the latest correct drivers. If that does not work try turning off Open GL in photoshops preferences.
On my old XP 32 bit system CS5 movet tool with transform dialog does not fail like on your system. I can move the handles time and time again without commiting the transform. The only way to have Photoshop revert the transform back to the original state is to press the ESC key to cancel the uncommitted transform.

We want, on right click botton press the frame should animate.
We have a player with 5 different poses, kicking a ball, "image width is 160, height is 32".
the problem is that, the player does move through allthe frames. he starts from 0th p\frame and directly end at the last frame, withopur any delay between frames.
we have used the for loop as follows.
if ((keyStates & UP_PRESSED) != 0) {
     for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
     playerSprite.setFrame(i);
we want a delay code between all the frames.

Maybe this will help you!

Is Anyone Having MacBook Pro Retina Display Graphics Issues?

So, I'm wondering if anyone has been having issues with their new MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display graphics? I've installed all the updates and ran the diagnostics. Nothing appears to be wrong, but most of my animations or motions on the computer aren't fluent and are choppy. And at least once a day I'll run into an issue like this: http://d.pr/i/elqX
Just wondering if any of you are running into this issue. It also struggles with Flash (but I assume that is just something Adobe has to update on their end).
Cheers!

Think you maybe right, having looked on the Nvidia site lots of people are having major problems with the 6xx range and even the 5xx range seems like Nvidia's driver is missing something ? I know these are PC based problems but the OSX driver is still based on the same driver.
Custom mini.
Ps. I forgot the Nvidia driver is Optimus based...............don't get me started on how bad Optimus does not work, have a look over at the Nvidia forum Optimus section.

Weird graphical glitch - Aperture 2.1.1l

First, my system configuration is as follows:
Mac Pro (original 2006), OS X 10.5.4
ATI Radeon X1900XT with two monitors (24" 1920x1200 flat panel, 17" 1280x1024 flat panel)
Nvidia 7300GT with one monitor (17" 1280x1024 flat panel)
4GB of RAM
2x 250GB SATA hard drives.
Here's the problem. When I use Aperture, I frequently get a black screen in the photo area when I start editing a photo, particularly the levels control. I cannot see the photo once I start editing it, and when I switch to other photos it either randomly goes black or displays the photo with really bad color distortion.
If I export the photos and open them in Preview they look fine. It's only while being edited in Aperture that they look messed up. Also, if I use the fast preview feature (P to toggle it when browsing) the problem goes away. But of course this keeps me from adjusting photos which is the primary purpose of Aperture!
Has anyone else seen this problem? It's maddening that I spent $200 on this software and it has such obvious graphical glitches.
Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.
-John "Zorin" Flynn

Your post got me to thinking, and I started fiddling with the displays.
When I unplug the 17" flat panel from the Nvidia 7300GT card, the problem goes away. It only seems to happen when that display is active.
It doesn't seem to matter how I connect the displays, if the head on the Nvidia card is activate the problem manifests.
So there's some sort of conflict between the video cards. This is odd, because *everything else* on the system works great. Heck, I like to drag playing videos off onto that head and it works beautifully.
Oh well, guess I'll have to unplug the monitor whenever I use Aperture until the bug is fixed. Still very annoyed, as it's all Apple hardware and shouldn't have these problems. What happened to "It just works"?

NMP - Graphics glitches, Logic UI slowdown

So I've been having weird graphics glitches with my new Mac Pro (Late 2013). That, along with Logic X having MAJOR UI lag problems. I've asked around a lot on the Apple Logic forums and third party forums too, no dice.
My computer is the 8-core, with dual D300 GPU's. I took the computer in to the Genius Bar and they had it for a whole week, then told me they couldn't reproduce the issue but that my memory showed up bad after they tested that. I switched out the memory... same thing still happening.
I thought it might be to do with my 27 inch cinema display, so I switched that out for an HP display, no change.
What can I do here????
