Effect and appearance

I have an old laptop running ubuntu linux and have seen programs called Compiz and Beryl which help you to change the appearance and effects of applications etc, i was wondering if there are any similar programs avilable for the mac ?
i Mac 2.16 GHz intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) Packard Bell running Ubuntu

Theming like shape-shifter is a very basic thing no different than standard desktop themeing for Linux (the basic functionality of GNOME and KDE themes is the same as what you get when you buy Shapeshifter).
This person was inquiring about something that provides GUI customization similar to that of Beryl and Compiz: rubbery windows, virtual desktops mapped onto the facets of a cube, water effects, etc. (see for an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLTHhgtP3WU or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1W4Ja2uCyU ).
I think the short answer is that there isn't yet any equivalent under Mac OS X or any Microsoft OS, including Vista.

Outline Stroke, Effects, and Appearances.

Dear Adobe Users, Please come to my aid, I am at my wit's end.
I am trying to recreate the effect described here (http://opentype.info/blog/2012/08/09/the-google-maps-effect-in-adobe-illustrator/) - to whit, a a non-destructive, merged series of paths with a complete outline, with paths that can be resized at will without affecting any other paths, and any overlap areas should merge.* I have only been able to replicate it once and I cannot seem to do it a second time. Every single time I go to Effect > Path > Outline Stroke, nothing happens: an ‘outline stroke’ effect tab is added on the appearance panel, but nothing at all happens to my lines, they don’t change in the slightest.
I can add all the outline stroke effects I want (in the appearance tab) - no effect. I can double click on the outline stroke - nothing happens. There's nothing to edit. I can move it around - no effect. I can get OBJECT > Path > Outline stroke to work, of course, but that is not non-destructive: it destroys my paths, and I can't add new paths or anything.
I cannot copy-paste the successful attempt into new layers. I cannot duplicate the layers into new files and have the effects still work. I cannot copy existing paths into the layer and use the eye-dropper to copy the effects.
Please, someone, come to my aid! What did I do right, and how can I do it again?

* I am aware that the article is from 2012 and was thus done on CS5, not CS6, but like I said, I did get it to work once in CS6 already.

I tried that, it didn't work. It just adds another stroke under the first - it doesn't work as an outline

Hello, Miryam Maria.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

Ilife Sound Effects and Final Cut Pro Sounds are not appearing in Final Cut Pro X anymore!?

Hello,
I am new to the app Final Cut Pro X. And recently when I have gone into the Music and Sound Folder in final cut pro the option for Ilife Sound Effects and FCPX Sound Effects do not appear. I have read other forums and they have said to drag the sound files into FCPX but that isn't even a option. It onlt has iTunes options, please reply back someone this is stressing me out. I don't know if it is because of Mavericks or whatever but it is driving me insane and I need help!
This is what it looks like .

This is a known issue in FCP X 10.1 and you will find many posts about it in the forum just do a search. Several solutions have worked for different users. Try the following:
1. Open and close GarageBand then relaunch FCP
2. Open and close iPhoto then relaunch FCP
3. Close and reopen FCP
4. Trash FCP preferences then relaunch FCP
Any one of these may work. Just try them in any order. Be aware the problem may recur.

I am new to After Effects and Motion 5 and I have a question

Hello there,
I am currently working on a personal side project for a family member. She would like me to make a video with recorded audio and pictures from the 1920’s for my grandmother. I would like to give the parallax and 2.5D effect a try but as I never used After Effects or Motion before I am a little overwhelmed.
I have about 80 images to animate. Right now I am in the ‘Photoshop phase’. I am going through each image and separating the foreground, mid-ground, and background, into separate layers and saving the .psd files to eventually bring into Motion 5 (or After Effects) and animate.
After seeing this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrYyX3bHI8
I really wanted to animate the images I had in a similar fashion. I really loved how they seemed to move and know that I can accomplish this appearance with the pin tool in After Effects. After seeing this video however, I continued looking into the 2.5d effect and found this movie for Motion 5:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxlm2nkVLA
I bought Motion 5 because I thought the interface seemed more user friendly to newcomers (like myself), the effects were similar, and because I couldn’t afford to pay for After Effects every month.
But now I am kicking myself. Motion 5 is lovely and I do like the camera effects but I don’t think I can accomplish the ‘puppet’ effect with it like I can in After Effects. Does anyone know if it is possible? Is there a plugin for Motion 5? Can I send my .psd files into Motion 5, set up the timeline and cameras, save it, and then move it into After Effects and then use the pin tool to manipulate the images and layers?
I have read that some say it is hard to move Motion files into After Effects? If this is the case, could I save the Motion file, open it in Adobe Premiere, and THEN open it in After Effects and play around with it?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much in advanced.

2.5D is fairly easy to do in Motion... that's the good news. The bad news is: if you don't know what you need to do to accomplish it, it's practically impossible to do easily or well.
The first problem to overcome is perspective, and the other problem is parallax.
These two tutorials (by Mark Spencer) will give you all the information you need dealing with moving Photoshop Layers in Z-space. Even though the point of the tutorials is a "fly through", the same information applies to creating 2.5D. Just animate the camera laterally (sweep) instead of dolly.

No After Effects and Premier

Hi!
Already purchased Adobe Creative Cloud. I opened it on Adobe application manager, there were 14 Applications that were shown, none of them are for video. Adobe After Effects and Premier aren't there.Please Help
Thanks,
Adrian

Both Premiere Pro and After Effects require a 64 bit processor running a 64 bit operating system.
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/aftereffects/tech-specs.html
If you're running a 32 bit operating system such as Windows 7 32 bit, neither AE nor PP will appear for download since they won't run on your system.

Blur control disabled for Drop Shadow Effect and Filter

Win2k Pro
2GB Ram
AICS 11.0.0
This is odd: the blur control in the Drop Shadow Effect and Filter dialog boxes is disabled. It seems to me there was a time it was ENabled.
This is the situation for both vector and bitmap objects. I've played with Document Raster Settings.
Truth be told, I _did_ reinstall Illustrator last year and have not used it much since.
Any insights you can share?
Thanks

After upgrading to Mac OS Lion, even after installing Java manually, some web pages don't download and appear blank whereas Firefox works

After upgrading to Mac OS Lion, even after installing Java manually, some web pages don't download and appear blank whereas Firefox and Opera work. Can someone help?

Might be a third party Safari addon that was compatible with Snow Leopard but not Lion that's preventing pages to load. That add on may not have any effect on the other browsers, just Safari.
Read here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Also, if you have Little Snitch or Peer Guardian or anti virus sofware installed on your Mac, that might prevent pages to load also.

Dynamic link after effects and adobe media encoder

Hello,
I recently downloaded After Effects cc (yesterday). I am running a mac pro with OSX 10.9.3 2.3 ghz intel core i7 with 16 gb 1600 MHz DDR3.
On previous versions of AE I was able to render straight out of AE, I know this is not the case with CC anymore. I am trying to use AME to export however I am having issues.
When I try to send to AME from the Composition tab in AE it looks like it is doing something and then nothing happens. I then opened AME separately and tried to "add after effects comp" from the file menu in AME the error message displayed was "Could not connect to Adobe After effects. Please verify that Adobe After effects and Adobe Dynamic link components are installed".
I have also tried to drag and drop my composition directly from AE to AME and the following message appears "Dynamic link error - Source is empty"
I have read a multitude of threads on this issue and this is definitely not a firewall issue. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

> On previous versions of AE I was able to render straight out of AE, I know this is not the case with CC anymore.
Why do you think that? You can still use the render queue in After Effects to render and export directly out of After Effects.
That said, there are some formats that Adobe Media Encoder handles better.
> and this is definitely not a firewall issue
How have you determined that?
Does exporting to QuickTime (.mov) format from After Effects work? How about the 3D Camera Tracker and Warp Stabilizer effects? The reason that I ask about these is that they use the same communication mechanism that Dynamic Link does, so if they also fail, then it tells us something about where the problem is.

Effects and component skinning

Dear all,
I've got two (hopefully) simple questions - related to RichFaces - but probably not very RichFaces specific:
1) simpleTogglePanel contains a style class called: rich-stglpanel-body to modify the appearance of the body.
My question: Is it possible to modify the style without changing neither the application's CSS, nor the richfaces.skin, nor writing a custom style class? just e.g. by using style="rich-stglpanel-body.background-color:white;"> ?
2) I would like to enhance the simpleTogglePanel's look&feel with one of the rich:effect elements. This works just fine by using something similar to:
<rich:simpleTogglePanel switchType="client" label="Test">
 <rich:effect event="onclick" type="BlindDown" params="duration:0.5">
 <h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <rich:panel>
 Content and other JSF Components here
 </rich:panel>
 </h:panelGrid>
</rich:simpleTogglePanel> Well as I'm using other jsf elements on the panel I'm having the problem, that the onclick event also affects their behaviour.
My question: So what I'm really looking for is to tell the simpleTogglePanel to use an effect onexpanding and onclosing. Is this possible?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it very much!

After Effects AND/OR Premiere Pro CS5 ?

Hi guys,
I am quite new, I have only done one videoproject and that was in Premiere Pro CS4. Now I got a new machine and have both Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects. I have started learning AE from some videos and it is quite impressing what you can do there. So I hope I can use AE to improve my videos.
My question is, shall I do the project in PPCS5 and then connect to AE for making special effects on clips or shall I do the whole project in After Effects ?
If I choose AE for the project, will I miss some functions from Premiere Pro?
Many thanks in advance !
Sven

Thank you guys!
You put me on track, expecially with the link!
From beginning I am just taking care of old videos that noone look at because not edited so most of the time just crap.
I want to edit them, try to improve color and sharpness but also add some funny elements so they are more interesting to watch.
I have 30 videos from my daughter, each 1 hour and 8 of my own (really crap) and 8 VHS from a friend. That is just to start with.
Start Adobe Premiere Pro from within After Effects and capture footage for use in After Effects. (See Use Adobe Premiere Pro for capture (Production Premium and Master Collection only).)
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with After Effects compositions in Adobe Premiere Pro without first rendering them. A dynamically linked composition appears as a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with Adobe Premiere Pro sequences in After Effects without first rendering them. A dynamically linked sequence appears as a footage item in After Effects.
Start After Effects from within Premiere Pro and create a new composition with settings that match the settings of your Premiere Pro project.
Select a set of clips in Adobe Premiere Pro and convert them to a composition in After Effects. "
So with a testvideo I will start using these 5 different methods so I learn when to use which one!
And I also have 4-5 videolessons to watch.
Thanks again!
I probably be back soon with more questions!

After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro

I thought After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro were part of the cloud. Neither appeared in the download manager and I'm not able to install.

This question gets asked a lot because, rather than putting a simple, clear explanatory note into the Application Manager, Adobe confusingly opted to simply omit apps not supported by your operating system from the download screen thereby leaving users such as yourself bewildered as to why those apps are not available for you for download.
Many people often think their Application Manager is somehow broken or corrupted.
I take it that you're running Windows XP 32 bit or Windows 7 32 bit?
Neither will run PP or AE unfortunately so those apps are not available for you to download.
64 bit operating systems only.

Menu tabs disappear completely after login and appears if only i press on item node at hire level

I'm using a Menu Model to Create a Page Hierarchy in my adf application on Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
it is in three levels level 1 have 2 item nods (home - Help) displayed as buttons
                            level 2   contains 5 item nods about the managements displayed as tabs
                            level 3   is about reports displayed as list
the point I have apply security in the application using Adf security wizard and i assign roles and users and grants
all works fine but level 2 tabs disappear completely after login and appears if only i press on Home item node at run time
I create 2 users (admin) has all roles and can view all tabs in level 2 of my navigation and another user (emp) which can view one Tab page in level 2
Point 1 --the item nod are rendered according the #{securityContext.regionViewable['oracle.view.pageDefs.RentManagPageDef']}     (EL ) expression language
and other item nod render property are set as the same but in the page name definition
it works fine
_ Point 2 in my page template I set #{menuInfo.rendered} for renderd property of the command navigation item
it works fine
- point 3 I add a go link in my template to explicit perform log in log out from the app and redirect the user to the required page
Destination is
#{securityContext.authenticated ? "/adfAuthentication?logout=true&end_url=/faces/wearhouse.jsf" : "/adfAuthentication?success_url=/faces/company.jsf"}
and its also works fine
the problem is in the level 2 navigation tabs which is diaper after explicit log in the app directs the user to the correct page successfully
But the tabs are not rendered till I press on home button on Level 1 navigation it appears and it appears correctly cording the logged in user validation
in another words i log in as user (admin) i get directed to the successful log in page in the link go but level 2 tabs are invisible or not rendered at all    I click on Home button in level1 navigation the tabs
become rendered or viewable and i navigate normally
I log out as admin the level 2 tabs becomes invisible again
then I log in as (emp) i get directed to the successful log in page and level 2 tabs are still invisible or not rendered
I click on Home button in level1 navigation the only one tab the user emp authorized to it gets rendered (appears)
and its semi correct behavior because this is what I want him to see only
my tries to find solution
I tride to use
#{securityContext.userInRole['division']}
on the menu node item   I found same behavior level 2 tabs gets hidden till i click on home link at run time
I tride to use #{securityContext.authenticated} to control item nods rending
all tabs remains visible and i dont want that ain adition if user clicks on a tab of page he has no authority on it i recive server error
I read 30.7 Creating a Login Page in the Fusion Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework to finde about redirecting user
and it is using the same as i did from adf tutorials
I tried to make new navigation app on fast
maybe i made incorrect change in any stage of my original app
but I found same behavior
I tried to set disabled property instead of rendered property the tabs are always rendered   but I got server error when I click on a tab which a user does not authorized
So I doubt maybe problem in the El or the way I use to control rendering item node
or there additional step to stop all the tabs disappear after login
I hope please some one Help or tell me what i have to read about in the developer guide or interface developer guide or article on the web
I'll be gratfule
I know maybe it is small issue but help me please

Hi,
have a look at the sample that comes with this article: Oracle ADF: Security for Everyone It uses resource remissions to authorize panel tabs.
One test to run is to print the outcome of the security evaluation (e.g. output text) to see what it returns.
