Duplicating layer timeline playhead bug

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop CC animation feature with the timeline (terrific feature btw), and I have a bug report... didn't find anywhere to resolve it, so I'm reporting it here :
While working on the timeline, if my play head is not on the right time (active layer is not visible in the timeline (cf. screen capture)),
and if I try to duplicate the active layer from the layer palette, Photoshop gives me a program error modal window, and doesn't give me any choice by clicking ok again and again in a loop, the error stays there, the only solution is to force quit Photoshop.... no saving possible !!

Adobe please, do repair this, I keep on stress-saving my file all the time, since I often do this action...
Thanks

I see what the problem is. The project start time is one hour. In legacy versions if you typed 100 it always went to one second, you didn't have to type in the one hour no minutes one second to move the playhead.

Try from the layers pallet after highlighting your background copy layer. You should have dropdown menus for blend modes and opacity.

Timeline playhead indicator bar freezes

after editing in several speed changes to clips in timeline, playhead
indicator bar freezes, video continues to play out normaly in canvas.
only after rebooting FCP does playhead bar start moving normally again.
cant figure it out.

Are those speed changes rendered yet? FCP does a LOT of things with active ram-- it's keeping track of every clip, subclip, sequence, nest; creates virtual media out of imported still images. That frozen bar is a pretty good indicator that you've maxed out the ram available to FCP. Restart the app or a complete reboot usually fixes this. render early and often!

Photoshop CC: Layer Merging Behavior with Timeline Animations (Bug?)

Hello,
we're working a lot with the Photoshop timeline in our company. After upgrading to Photoshop CC we encountered a behavior that was different with CS6.
Picture a file with a timeline animation consisting for example of 8 frames, with 8 layers, each layer's visibility exposed on a single frame (layer 1 exposed in frame 1, layer 2 exposed in frame 2 etc) and all other layer not visible.
In Photoshop CS6, if I were to create a new layer for example in frame 4 of my timeline above layer 4 (which is the only visible layer in this frame) and merged it back down onto layer 4 (by selecting it and pressing the shortcut CTRL+E), the resulting layer inherited all the exposure settings of layer 4, but did contain the merged visual content of layer 4 and the previously new layer above it. This is what I want.
Now in Photoshop CC, when doing the very same action, the layers are merged and keep the naming of layer 4, however the visibility flag is not inherited properly. The resulting layer is exposed (visible) on all frames in the timeline, whereas it actually should only be exposed in frame 4.
Also note that the timeline option "New layers visible in all frames" is deactivated. So even if Photoshop treated the merged layer as an actual new layer, it shouldn't expose it's visibility in all other frames.
The only workaround I've found so far is enabling "unify layer visibility", hiding the layer, then disabling "unify layer visibility" again. This is annoying however, and the entire new behavior seems like a bug to me. Can any of the developers comment on this? Thank you.
Regards,
Hannes Drexl

My only solution so far is to avoid using CC and sticking with CS6. Thanks Adobe for not letting me enjoy the other great features of the PS version you seem to care about updating and improving. Since PS is the main reason I even subscribed to creative cloud, it would be nice to at least know this problem is being resolved in the future.

Source Sequence to Timeline Editing Bugs?

Hi. I'm new to PP and I've run into a couple of issues when editing from a sequence loaded into the source viewer. (i.e KEM roll style editing) I'm using 7.0.1
First problem - with the timeline set to Insert or Overwrite sequences as nests everything works fine (although i don't really see the purpose of working this way). Mostly you would want to "Insert or Overwrite as individual clips", but when i overwrite a clip the timeline ignores my in and out points which effectively means you can't do a three point edit. There's another strange bug that when you Insert the playhead jumps way off screen instead of staying at the end of the inserted clip.
Second problem - "Replace with clip from Source Monitor" and "Replace with clip from Source Monitor, Match Frame" only replaces with the nested clip, is there no way to replace with the original clip? BTW, would be great if you could map a keyboard shortcut for this command as well?

Thanks Jim.

FinalCutPro Timeline playhead jumps to begining at end of last clip?

I want the playhead to stop playing when it reaches the end of the last clip instead of jumping back to Timeline 00:00 and continuing to play from there??

Disable "Loop Playback". Keyboard shortcut is Control L.

Video Layer timeline

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds. In previous versions the length of each video layer could be extended easily. Now it appears you need to make each video layer a maximum of 5 seconds. Document settings doesn't resolve this problem. I've found out how to extend the timeline but, crucially, not the length of individual video layers beyond 5 seconds. I believe CS5 and previous versions had this enabled. Can you help?

Sorry but I can't seem to drag the edge of the clip to anything beyond 5 seconds. As I said, I can make the document the desired length I want, but not only does CS6 omits document settings it also appears they now restrict the clip length. Please note, I am creating original animation on a blank video layer and not importing clips. I want to make an animation in a blank video layer longer than 5 seconds.

Timeline playhead goes back to beginning when it hits end

Is there a preference or something somewhere I need to
turn off to prevent the playhead in the timeline from
going back to the beginning of the timeline and start
playing again from the beginning, after it plays through
the entire timeline once and it's the end?
Thanks.

Why not mark it as 'Answered' (which you should do anyway) then post what you did to fix it. That would help others who encounter the same problem.

Timeline/playhead

Sometimes the timeline moves, sometimes the playhead moves. How can I control which moves?

60p conformed to 24p timeline - reverse bug?

If I take 60p footage and conform to 24p timeline (40% smooth slo-mo), then copy the clip and reverse it -- many frames are dropped and the reversed clip is very choppy.
Help?

I can confirm this bug. It has nothing to do with H.264 or anything else that suggests frames can't be rendered in time (CPU/GPU/HD). It's happenning in a 25p timeline for me so it's no specific to 24p.
The problem is for some reason FCPX is processing the reverse and time-remap in the wrong order.
I't reversing first, and this temporary step is producing footage in the framerate of the timeline and discarding frames just like it would if the 60p footage were played back in the timeline without conforming.
Then the slow down happens on the new 24p footage which is causing repeat frames.
WORKAROUND!
Good thing is we can force FCPX to process them in the right order by using compund clips. Convert to compound clip and put the slow-down on the clip inside the compound clip and then put the reverse on the compound clip in the timeline. Boom!
Only thing the doesn't make sense is why others report it works properly with reverse-slowed clips as it never works for me no matter what I do.

CS4: Does not Mask layer effects. Bug?

If you have an image of say a person and place an effect (a drop shadow perhaps) then apply a layer mask to mask out the waist down, the result should be the waist up person with a drop shadow fading the same as the person. This is how CS3 does it.
NOT SO, in CS4. With CS4, the layer mask will not 'mask' the effect. So you get shadowy legs but the body is masked out.
I am positive this is a bug since i can open the bad CS4 image INTO CS3 and it looks correct.
Attached is same file, i created it in CS4 (with shadow coming thru transparent area) and then opened it in CS3 (clean, no shadow).

This being, despite the occasional Adobe-employee thankfully dropping by, basically a user-to-user-forum I think You should adjust Your expectations regarding tone to the fact that these are people who are under no obligation to help You but do so nonetheless.
If You stay on in this Forum for some time You might get to appreciate the humor more and I for one found the post in question quite entertaining.

Photoshop shape layer gradient fill bug

I use shapes filled with linear gradient turned 90° from its default position. And every now and then, when I select the given shape layer (with the move tool or directly in the layer dialog) the gradient jumps into the default rotation position. The thing is, if this happens, there´s no way I can turn it back.. if I type a value or try to rotate the gradient, it always jumps back.. even if I create a new shape, the rotation function is set to default and won´t move a degree.. Normally a PS restart helped to solve this.. but today, the problem remained even after that.. I will reboot the system and hopefully it will work but.. if anyone has experienced the same problem or has any suggestions, please help.
PS CC 2014 (latest update - though this problem I´ve had since the first CC), OS 10.8.5 (Maybe updating to Mavericks?)
thanks in advance!

I do not use a mac however on windows if I have a gradient filled shape layer I rotated the the gradient fill. If I accidentally click the solid fill or pattern fill icon when I click back on the gradient fill icon the angle is the default 90 degrees it does not remember that the fill was set to 0 or 180.
I have not observed any problem with the move tool but I seldom have a shape with a gradient fill. I normally use a layer style gradient fill on a solid 50% gray filled shape,

Laggy timeline, playhead line not lined up with playhead after 8.1 update!

Is anyone else experiencing this??? See attached screen shot. The white line is sticking all over the time indicator resulting in what you see below, also, the playhead line is not actually lined with the playhead itself, making frame edits completely impossible! It is driving me crazy. Have cleared all caches and deleted all preview files though this is clearly not causing this. It would seem to be a graphics card/driver issue with PP 8.1 as everything was working just fine before I applied the update this morning......silly me :-/ I am running a Windows 7 Pro 64bit, 24 core workstation with 64GB of RAM and a Quadro 5000 GPU with 2GB RAM. Help!

I'm having the exact same issue - again only since updating to the latest version. So I too am interested in a solution!
In my case I have Quadro K1000M graphics - no warp stabiliser , and it's already switched to software-only.

Layer colour tagging bug

If I assign a colour to a layer and then change the layer to a Smart Object the colour tag is lost.
1) Open image
2) Duplicate (Ctrl+J) Background to create a Layer (Layer 1)
3) Right-click on the Layer 1 'Eye' icon and choose a colour (Red)
4) Right-click on Layer 1 and choose " Convert to Smart Object
5) The Red colour that was assigned in step 3 will now disappear.
Expected Result: Layers that have been assigned a colour should keep that colour even when converted to a Smart Object.

That might be what's going on behind the scenes. But I'm not sure most users will understand why adding a colour tag to a layer cannot be maintained when all they're doing is choosing to apply a layer option.
In my case I was organizing 20 small images on the canvas and found the colour tags very useful in that I could view and align/distribute various groups as per their assigned colour. I then decided that resizing was needed so I changed them all to SO's and that's when all the work I did assigning colours was lost. If the colour tag is being offered as a layer organization feature then it should be maintained when a common layer operation is performed.
Your explanation sounds as if converting a layer to a SO should also cause it to lose any name we've given that layer. But a layer name is not lost and remains intact. So why not the colour?

How to delete part of a duplicated layer?

Hello ... it's me again .... OS/PC-Windows 7 64 bit
So, today I find myself a bit confused ... this is what I am doing ...
I am learning to make an enevelope and the tut calls for me to make little scewed rectangles around the edges which are to be colored red and blue every other rectangle.
Draw the Rectangle > Ctrl + T > Right click > Skew > and then
Ctrl + Alt + T to Duplicate > press right arrow key to move and repeat until the end of the envelope > and then
Duplicate Layer > change color from blue to red
Here is where I am lost:
I am suppose to select every other rectangle and delete them in order for the rectangles to be blue, red, blue red ...
I have no idea how to go about doing this and I have been unable to find a solution in faq's or other posts within the forum(s). I'm not even certain how to ask the question so, that may be part of my quest denied
In Inkscape I would just ungroup them so that I could manipulate/delete them as individual shapes and then (if needed) use the rubberband to recollect them and click a regroup button. I cannot seem to find anything similiar to this in PS.
Would someone please either link me to a solution, get me pointed in the right direction or if you have time & are willing would you tell me how I can go about this process? Please and Thank you so very much
Have a wonderful day/night
Kara

ooops I meant to edit not delete that last note ... if you saw it then this makes sense ... lol ...
Any way, The Lasso tool just deleted all the rectangles.
Just saw the other two post so I will go try those. Thank you so much everyone I appreciate your time
