Default file location render settings and output module - Windows 7?

Hi all,
Confession: I am generally confused about render settings and output modules, so forgive me if this question seems stupid.
Problem 1: Where does AE store the default render settings and output module files (I'm on Windows 7)? I want to backup a copy of these in case I mess them up, but can't find the folder. I think they are .aom and .ars files, but I just upgraded my CC 2014, lost all my custom settings, and want to save the defaults before I try loading my various customized files to see if I can get my settings back. When I search for *.aom or *.ars, I can't find any "default" settings from later than 2013 (I would think there would be a newer one somewhere.
Thanks in advance,
Lori

They're in the same folder as the general preferences file and the keyboard shortcuts file. You can open that folder by clicking the button at the bottom of the Preferences dialog box.
But there is no need to back up the defaults. If you delete the render settings or output module settings file, After Effects will just recreate the defaults.

Adobe AE CS3 Render Que and Output Modules

Ok Buddies
Using Vista 64 with AE CS3
I Imported a complete project (Audio and video) from Premiere CS3 to AE CS3 , i Added all my Fx and etc, then i went to Render Que and tried to make my final AVI , I also installed Lagarith Lossless Codec on my system, but rendering is all done with NO AUDIO
then under Render Que i found this section called " Output Module" by default it was set to Lossless, i am not sure if that is referring to lagarith codec or something else , and under the "Output Audio" is was set to OFF
so i changed the output module to Microsoft DV NTSC 48khz
is that mean that i no longer use Lagarith as my codec or that lossless was for audio ?
or what is the correct way to set my audio channel ON !!
Thanks

Thanks once again
ok so that was very helpful and it did work and now i have the audio as well , i wonder what that Preset "Lossless" is used for ? I mean the final output is not compressed (5 mins song is now 6gb) , maybe its used for Encore or other programs that make DVDs ? so that compression is used only once when making the actual DVD.
the other thing that is very interesting is that i had only 3 layers of video, but with many cuts or clips, now that I imported a Premiere CS3 project into the AE CS3
, i have around 200 layers, i guess one layer per cut or so...
Is there anyway to set the layers in order or a way , for example layer 1 is the clip1 and layer 2 is the clip 2 and ect...
I make it a bit more clear here :
let's say i am working on layer 1 , which is the intro of the song and layer 2 is beginning of the song and layer 3 is the end of the song, so is there any way i could place the correct layers one after the other ?
because right now let's say i am working on one the clips and its layer 6 and the next clip is layer 189, is there a way to put these layers one after the other , so i don't have to look for the next clip !!
Thanks again !!

How to set default file location in Illustrator?

I'm using Creative Suite CS5 in Windows Pro 64, and would like to set a default location for files in Illustrator and Photoshop when I execute the File > Open or File > Save commands.
Yes, the program defaults to the location of the last file opened, but sometimes that file is gone, or I'm creating a new one from scratch, and the program looks for files in a distant place in my file structure.
** Is it possible to set a default file location for opening and saving in Illustrator CS5 (and in Photoshop CS5)?
Thanks.

Not that I know of. It simply reverts to the global "My Documents"/ "Documents" folder as provided by your operating system. these can of course be changed using variables and editing the Windows Registry/ Group Policies, but that affects all programs...

Rendering error whilst writing to file /filename etc./ An output module failed

I'm trying to render my composition in the latest AE CC 2014. I get the following error with all composition sizes and with different codecs: Rendering error whilst writing to file /filename etc./ An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464). Can anyone help me sort this problem?

AE build number? Codec used? System OS?

Default File Location for Word using GPO

I have just launched Office 2013 for my users.   Those users access Word and Excel via Terminal Servers.   So, I need ways to set the defaults for these products so I don't have to touch each users login/machine.   I have been
able to use Group Policy for everything I need except in Word and the default file location.   I have tried the GPO administrative template for Office 2013 and went to Microsoft Word 2013 > Word Options > Advanced > File Locations and set
the path to N:\
Did the gpupdate /force and nothing changed.                               However, Group Policy will set
it in Excel.
So then I tried using the registry template in GPO.     Here I used HKEY_CURRENT_USER with path to
Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options and the value name is DefaultPath
Value data is N:\
That doesn't work either.
HOW are we suppose to set defaults to our network in Word.
I have also did the entry in GPO to "block signing into Office"                     None Allowed
We don't and won't be using SkyDrive in our type of business

Hi,
Based on my tested in my environment, I went to set the Default File Location via group policy.
Word: Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Location/ and change the Default File Location
Excel: Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save and change Default file location
Both of them works fine. As you said " However, Group Policy will set it in Excel." Does it mean that you set Word and Excel via two group policies at the same time, but it only works in Excel?
If it is, please try to re-download and change the
Word ADMX to test.
If the issue still exist, please try to use Gpresult command Or RSOP to check group policy result on client.
When troubleshooting group policy issues, we use the gpresult command to confirm whether GPOs are really applied to the client (computer/user). You can run the following command in a command prompt:
gpresult /z > c:\policy.txt
For more details about the usage of command Gpresult, please refer to the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490915.aspx
When you read the output, the c:\policy.txt file in this sample, please
examine the results of the report to find the answers to these questions.
Does the report list the particular GPO as applied?
Is the setting listed in the report?
Is the GPO listed in the Denied List

N70 Music Files - Default File Location

When I transfer music to my N70 using PC Suite, the default file location is \Sounds\Digital. Should I just change the default to \Music, or is there some reason why this location is the default?

No AFAIK it does not matter where you put it, Music manager scans for your tracks and plays them.
If you would like to keep it tidy and have your music in one place I can not see any harm it pointing it at another folder.

Setting project default file locations and a few random interface questions

I apologize for the randomness of this post, but it seemed better than spamming a bunch of different posts in a short period of time. I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for about 6 months now and there are a few little things that I'd like to tweak.
I'd like to change the default file save location for a project. I've got different projects in different folders and it seems like I should be able to set a default save location for each project. All I've ever been able to find in the help is how to set the scratch folder, which is different.
I'd like to change the default encoding preset for a project. For example, I have a custom preset for mp4 under the mobile phone category. It would be nice to have that be the default whenever I pick the mobile phone category.
With birthdays and concerts and plays and all that stuff I have about 50 videos and a couple hundred large photos already. Every time Premiere loads, it takes a few extra seconds to load up all of the thumbnails. I hide all the videos and pictures on the Organize tab and save the project, but it never sticks. Is this just impossible?
Finally, every so often, the end-of-clip marker acts funny. I don't know what the proper name for it is, but it is the thing under the mouse cursor in the picture below. It used to automatically move on the time line as I added or deleted clips. Somehow I clicked a button and it no longer does that. After a week or so of not working, it goes back to automatically adjusting as I add and delete clips from the timeline and then it will break again. Ideas?
Also in the timeline, I now have this huge gap of nothingness on top of video 1, see picture. My ocd says that Video1 and Audio 1 should be at the very top and the gap should be on the bottom. Ideas?
Thanks,
Bob

I kind of wish you'd have spread these questions out over a couple of posts so that we could answer each thoroughly. If I answer all of them in depth in a single post, this answer would be the size of one of my books! (which, by the way, contain many of the answers to these questions.)
1. The default save location for your videos should be the last place you've saved your video to. So that should happen automatically. Although in my books I recommend that, whenever you start a new project, you create a new folder for it. This is good housekeeping and a good way to keep your tmp and render files in the same place on your drive, which has a number of advantages.
2. You can't create a custom project preset. The only presets available are the ones Adobe provides. And, although they are pretty extensive, some non-traditional formats (like video from some mobile phones) are not well supported. You may be able to get it to work -- but it's usually a hybrid solution and, personally, if you plan to use your phone's video as your main video source, I'd recommend you look at another video editing program. Premiere Elements doesn't do the hybrid stuff well. It's ideally suited for video from traditional camcorders.
3. The thumbnails you see when the program loads are not in your current project. At least not until you import them into your Project panel. That Media panel is merely a preview to what's in your Organizer catalog. As I explain in my book, it's usually best to ignore this panel until you really learn your way around the basics of this program. It's very confusing. Fortunately, it adds very little load time to the program itself -- regardless of how much time it seems to add.
4. The thing in the illustration is the Work Area Bar. It's used to isolate a segment of your timeline for rendering, etc. Usually, it will shrink and grow as you add and remove video from your timeline. Unfortunately, there's a bug in version 9 and, if you manually change it once during a project, you'll have to manually change it for the rest of the time you work on the project. But, if you drag each end of the Work Area Bar to cover your entire timeline of videos, your project shouldn't misbehave.
5. The "gap of nothingness" on your timeline is just room for you to add more audio and video tracks if you'd like to. It's a good thing to have! BTW, as I'm sure you know (and my books, once again, explain) you can toggle the tracks on your timeline so that they display as either compressed (as in your illustration) or wide open, which allows you to see your clips and control audio and video levels. Once again, this is a very good thing!
Happy moviemaking.

Backup or Storage Question and Default File Location

I just got a EX2 6TB and I am very new to this concept of cloud storage.I have my EX2 in RAID 1. I have two questions: 1) Can this product be used as both a storage and backup device or must you decide to do one or the other?1a) If you can use the EX2 as both for backup and storage - how do you do that? I want to use this primarily as storage and move files from my computer, which is full, to the EX2. But, if I use the EX2 as storage then I assume I need a backup system - another EX2 or separate external drive. 2) If I use the EX2 as my primary storage device how do I set my computer for all files to be saved on the EX2 without drag and drop every time for every file or all my daily work? Thanks! Mike

Hello and welcome to the WD Community.
1) Can this product be used as both a storage and backup device or must you decide to do one or the other?
1a) If you can use the EX2 as both for backup and storage - how do you do that?
Yes, you can use that as both. Just make sure to map the drive properly and it will show within your network and you will be able to copy and paste files to it manually and to access to the drive directly.
2) If I use the EX2 as my primary storage device how do I set my computer for all files to be saved on the EX2 without drag and drop every time for every file or all my daily work?
Not sure if you will be able to set the unit as a primary storage for all of your applications. Some of them will not allow you to save directly to a network unit.

Export/Unload Default File Location

Version 1.5.5 used the last location as the default for exporting a result set. Version 2.1.1.64 always uses Documents and Settings\etc. as the default. The documentation says this can be changed in user preferences, but either the documentation is wrong or there is some kind of nomenclature I don't understand in the preferences section.
So: is it still possible change the default location for exports, or (should I finally reorganize my hard drive to reflect Windows defaults.)
Documentation:
File: If the output is to a file, click Browse to select the directory or folder and to specify the file name and extension. The file path is then placed in the File box. (The default file path for export operations is specified in the SQL Developer user preferences for Database.) Standard file extensions include .sql for Insert format, .xls for Microsoft Excel format, .xml for XML format, .ctl for SQL LOADER format, and .csv for CSV format.
If there's already an answer, I apologize. I tried searching 3-5 times but came up with copious entries with the word "export" in them no matter what other words I included in the search string.

In 2.x, that was Preferences - Database - Select default path to store export in.
Have fun,
K.

After Effects CS6 render-only: Custom output modules?

With After Effects CS5.5, we've been able to include custom output module templates (so, aside from the default Lossless, TIFF Sequence with Alpha, etc.). We're having trouble doing the same with CS6. Is there any way to make this work?

This information initial value is (maybe) stored in Windows Register (register.exe) at Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Filetransfer -> PathDownload, you can read it thru class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES method GET_UPLOAD_DOWNLOAD_PATH and update it thru method REGISTRY_SET_VALUE.

Itunes default file location - how do i change it?

Hi, can anyone help. for some reason, itunes defaults to a folder on my works network, and so when off line at home itunes will not work. i need to change the file location so that itunes looks at my local drive and i can use it off line to upload my CD collection whilst at home. no matter what i do, it tries to look for my network folder.
it is driving me mad now so can anyone help?
thanks

I find the opposite behaviour:
In options I set drive to network, but iTunes itself changes to lokal by no recognizable reason. Everytime I set the drive location back to network, the catalog is being renewed, taking heaps of time...

Input xml file to crystal report and output pdf using java

Hi all,
I am in need, I am trying to give the input as dynamic extended Markup Language      and output to be Plain Document Format file, in my crystal report using simple java code. If possible can anyone drop a sample code. that would be great.

Hi Naveen,
If i have understood your requirement from your last post. this code should solve your problem.

Its a Standalone application which uses a Dataset made using the xmldata(xml file) and the xmlschema(xsd file).
This Dataset is used to populate the report with data.

2 error messages - failed to install extention 2.1 and output module 2.1

I just tried to update my Encore CS4 from the Master Suite. I have two error messages " failed to install extention Mgr. CS4 2.1 and failed to install output module update 2.1
Encore will load a new project and save but I can't do anything else like add files before it crashes. Any help please. - Art

This might not apply with En CS4, but there were some issues on install, and on updates in Photoshop. It seems that MS had a bum MSI (Installer) version, and it caused a lot of PS installs and updates to fail. Do not recall any specific error messages. The cure there was to download and install the revised MSI module from the MS site. I would imagine that any MSI module would be heavily Windows version-specific. Take that as a warning to check any very carefully, before downloading and installing. MS is pretty good at having a ReadMe with installation instructions for each such download. It almost always contains the exact versions of Windows, that the file is for. Please read any installation instructions carefully.
This might be worth a look. I do not have a link to the exact page, but a search of the MS site should yield something. I'd search for "MSI," to start.
I just do not recall any issues with En and either installation (on proper systems with updated OS's) or with any updates.
Good luck, and please report your success.

How do I change default file location for NON-MUSIC files?

My Laptop's "My Document" folder is on network per the corporate configuration. When I am not on VPN, I can not start iTunes since it looks for files on network.
Also my "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" folder on the network is growing quite large since all *.ipa files are stored there.
Is there any way to point all file locations to my C drive?
Thx

App store files will get put in a subfolder named \Mobile Applications.
The preference files will stay on the C: drive under your user profile.
