Effects heard only on playback

I have Logic Express 9.1.8 with a Roland Cakewalk UA-25ex USB interface. When selecting effects from the library, i.e. electric guitar, crunch delay, crunch analog delay pedal I don't hear them as I play but only on playback after recording.
Is this normal and by design or should I be able to hear any of these effects? how would I set this up to hear all the time?

I found the answer to my problem. Under the core audio preferences software monitoring must be checked to hear the out put in real time. Hope this helps others as it drove me nuts for a while.

I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

Using effects on only a portion of clip

Is the best way to use an effect on only a portion of a clip to use the blade tool? the reason i ask is i am trying not to split up clips because i usually add in cross dissolve transitions at the end to all clips. I then need to find the split clips and remove the transitions.
Any comments are appreciated,

I once thought that the range tool could do that. But it does not. As far as I know therer is no option other than Blade tool. Maybe you coould turn it into compond clip after using the blade. Others may have the right solution.

Hi-I have an old Adobe Audition 1.5 and I used to be able to hear as I was recording. After updating computer and reloading Adobe Audition 1.5, can no longer hear as recording but only on playback. Please advise.

All the monitoring is done through your sound device, not Audition. When you updated your PC, the sound device playback settings would have been reset. One of them includes input socket monitoring, and it's this that you need to reinstate. Since we don't know what sound device you are using, that's as much as we can tell you, except that if it's an internal device, you'll need to open the volume control options and alter it there. This varies between OS versions though...

My After Effects CS4 only sees 2.7GB. But my MBP has 8GB...

I'm running XP under Boot Camp on a 8GB Macbook Pro 5.1 (Intel duo 2009).
After Effects CS4 only sees 2.7GB.
What's the fix?
Cheers!

Ah, my bad entirely. I'd forgotten that XP limitation.
Would upgrading to Vista allow my system to see any more?
EDIT My bad again - reading the link above tells me I'd gain nothing.
Thanks for the info.

How to apply effects to only a portion of a track?

I recorded drums through a presonus firepod audio interface and my 2,16Ghz MacBook Pro on 4 different tracks.
There are some parts on the tracks where i'd like to apply some effects (like am radio kind of effects) but i can't seem to apply it on only the selected part. It seems to apply to the whole track...
Anyone wants to tell me how to do that?

To further expand on John's advice...
One way to do this with automation, is to send the outputs of your drum tracks to an Aux. Then set that Aux track as an input to another Aux track.
Put the radio effect plug-in on that second aux track, and mute it.
Using automation, you leave the first Aux track unmuted for the majority of the song, but when that section comes up, you unmute the second aux track, while you mute the first aux track. After the section passes, revert the mute status back to the way it was originally.
Using automation, you can fine tune this so it becomes seamless...
Just one of many ways to skin this proverbial cat...

Swf won't load on web but ok locally (believe only video playback issue)

Hi all,
I am very new to flash....literally first day into it.
I converted a mov into flv and imported the flv with playback component. When I publish, I am able to see both (via the swf and the html) from my browser. Once I uploaded the swf and html onto my webserver (both files are stored in the same folder just like how I had it locally), the swf won't display the video.
Now, I have a button (when clicked, it skips the playback and go directly to the site) and the button works fine. So, I think it is only limited to the video playback.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Ned,
I was just fiddling with it and it seems to be working now. I think your advice of putting the flv there helped?!?! Thanks a billion!
http://www.astoryconcept.com/index1.html
The only minor issue that I need to fix and not sure how yet:
-it stops during the initial playback (I guess my flv is a little large 4mb and I might have to optimize it to a smaller file)
-it didn't center itself when I drag the browser larger/smaller
Now that it works, I want to see if I could optimize it. Wandering if there is a "BETTER/EASIER" way to take me to a url at the end of the video playback.
What I did in here:
I created a cuepoint at 23 second (that's the end of the video) and it will take me to a url (here: adobe.com). Below is the actionscript I had in there (using code snipper) [One is for "Skip Intro" that will bring me to cnn.com; and the other one is the cuepoint that will take me to adobe.com):
================================================================
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
skip_intro_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.cnn.com"), "_blank");

import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
video.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, fl_CuePointHandler);
function fl_CuePointHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void
// Start your custom code
// This snippet code displays the cue point's name in the Output panel

var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");

Newbie M5 question - How does the Censor effect blur only the inside of the circle?

I'm brand new to Motion 5. I'm trying to understand how an effect like "Censor" applies the blur to only the inside of the circle. I opened the Censor effect in M5 and studied it, but the answer is just out of my grasp. Can someone explain it to me, or point me to an article that will help? Thanks.
Dan

In Motion, in the Censor effect project, if you turn off the Effect Source (lowest layer) you'll see the "circle" used to "limit" the effect.
Actually, this is just an illusion:
The original Effect Source (in FCPX, that's whatever clip this effect is applied to) is Cloned (the layer is called "Mask"): a clone is basically a "rasterized copy" of the original -- what I mean by that is that Clones not only copy original objects, but also all their filters and other layers/effects if you clone a group of objects -- reducing them all down to a single layer copy. This copy can be treated just like any other object in Motion (with an interesting exception*): you can add masks and other filter effects and/or behaviors to create new actions while the original source of the clone is left intact.
In this effect, there is a Circle Mask applied to the Clone, as well as three different Filters: Pixellate, Gaussian Blur, and Brightness. These three different filters are turned on and off separately by use of a "pop-up" rig so that only one of the filters is applied to the clone at a time. The gear shaped objects are Behaviors, in this case Link behaviors that "link" to the Circle Blur filter properties that is attached to the Effect Source which control the location in the canvas and the scale of the mask (Radius to Scale-X and another to Scale-Y). The Circle Blur filter has Onscreen Controls of a center point and a "radius" and those property values can be shared to other objects in a project via these link behaviors. The Circle Blur filter effect is turned off in this project because it *only* needed as a *source* for the onscreen control properties (and those can be turned on for use in FCPX [Publish OSC] whether the filter type is used or not.) All of the visible action in this project is created by applying other filter effects to the Clone copy and masking the area so that the rest of the source is uneffected while this effect (Censor) is active in FCPX.
The *interesting exception: Clones can be "retimed" -- even timed to go in reverse. No other object (other than actual video) can be made to do the same. What does this mean? It means that you can create, basically, an "in-project" video of other objects in animation (without exporting the animation first) and retime them to loop over and over, go in reverse, speed up, slow down, etc... Clones are a very useful tool in Motion (not to mention "light-weight"). Their only drawback: they *flatten* 3D animations, so you can't apply "more 3D" effects to them because they'll just look flattened on a plane if you do. So any time you feel you need to duplicate something, ask yourself if you would be better served by a clone instead.

After Effects cs 5.5 Playback jumpy

I'm trying to do a simple effect using After Effects 5.5 it is a "pan" of a slogan on the bottom of a photoshop graphic. When rendered out, or even after ram previewing it, it seems to studder, or jump, it just isn't smooth.
I've exported it as and avi, tiff sequence, etc, but it just doesn't play right. I even brought it into premier, which I thought was the problem but have traced it back to AE.
It's not just this, I've opened other projects and nothing is playing back smoothly.
thanks for any help.

The first problem I see is that there's no motion blur applied. The second problem is that it doesn't follow the six second rule.
Try this. I'm assuming that you rendered to something other than a swf or flv. Import a rendered clip and change the frame rate to a higher one. If your clip is 24 or 25 change it to 30. If the frame rate is 30 change it to 36 or even 50. Now drag the clip to the new comp icon in the bottom of the Project panel and render this clip using Jpg compression. Playback the file. I'll bet that it will be smoother. It's impossible for me to test the clip because you provided a flash file. If you could post a quicktime rendered from the project I can probably get you a file that will playback smoothly.
If there's really some jumps in the render you'll see them if you step through your render one frame at a time.

MP4 File in Adobe After Effects CS4 Only Plays Audio

So, I recorded some videos of Just Cause 2 on my PS3, and transfered them over to the videos section, I then put the videos on a USB flash drive, and put them on my computer, where I tried to open them in Adobe After Effects CS4, it didn't work. xD
It pretty much has no video, only audio.
But if you play the actual file with a player like Windows Media Player, it'll play fine.
I've tried changing the file extension to Mov, WMV, AVI, and every other one I could think of. And it'll only give me an error saying it's probably not a supported file type xD.
Oh, and I also have other mp4 files that will open in AE fine.
Any help would be awesome.

Transcode the file using tools like SUPER©, MPEGStreamclip, ffmpeg and so on. There are too many flavors of MPEG 4 out there that AE could handle them all and this seems to be exactly one such case.

Sound icon is greyed out at start up (though sound can be heard); only workaround found so far: plugging in/out earphone, then sound icon is reactivated

Hi,
On my new MacBook Pro / Lion, Sound icon is greyed out at start up, as well as the output volume in System Preferences (though sound can be heard, you just can't change the volume); only workaround found so far: plugging in/out earphone, then sound icon is reactivated.
Do you have any idea? Concurrent access to sound output from another software? (Skype, Growl...?)
PS: in Windows 7 / bootcamp, volume settings work perfectly from start up
Many thanks,
Fred

Hi macwzrd, I followed your procedure and... IT WORKS!! I rebooted several times now, and I still have a true black sound icon in the menu bar. So the issue seems to be fixed, thanks!
BUT now, _coreaudiod process is taking *much* of my cpu resources (136 coreaudiod _coreaudiod 114,7 5 3,4 MB Intel (64 bit)) and the fan keeps turning on and on like mad...
Any ideas on how to stop this strange behaviour?

My Effect preset only animates for the first 5 seconds....

Greetings-
(After Effects CS5, Mac OSX)
I have a comp that is two minutes long. I dropped a preset effect ("Indigestion", in this case, but others produce the same result as well) onto a solid layer. The effect will animate for the first five seconds only, after that it remains static. There appears to be keyframe markers between the zero and five second mark. Why doesn't it animate for the entire duration of the clip? And, why does it decide to place keyframe markers at these points?
Thanks-

An effect preset simply adds keyframe and expressions to your layer. If you want the effect to last longer adjust the position of the keyframes.
These are basic concepts. Are you new to AE? If so please go through the Getting Started documents found here.

Apply effect to only one video line

Does anyone know how to apply a transition to only one video line? Check out my video for further explanation.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPCs8lsJR3Y

Can't do that with that transition. It will always effect the adjacent clip coming in ot going out.
