Hanging Ornaments effects

Hi, could some, how to make this effect in Motion?.
http://vimeo.com/16285916
Thanks

ok, here's a really quick thing. Well I say quick it took an hour to render, had to turn motion blur off in the end. There are some glitches, and something funky was going in with the z depth and I could get any shadows cast, didn't have time to fix it.

havent posted project as I didnt think it was good enough, but I think it shows it could be done, with more time and better graphic elements.

Mac Mini hangs at hardware boot and at wake-up

I've got a brand new Mac Mini Intel Core 2 duo 2GHz with 2GB RAM.
50% of the time, when I power it on, there is no "start" sound and
the screen remains dark. The "power on" LED is however switched on.
After a force shutdown, I can start it fully OK. The same behaviour
is observed in 50% of the wake up from sleep: LED on no longer blinking
and dark screen. Force shutdown and power on again solves the case.
I've already reset the PRAM twice without any visible effect.
I've tried the SMC reset procedure also without any visible effect.
The Apple Hardware Test detects no hardware failure and the disk
verification ends up with no problem detection.
The Mac Mini is connected with a 2-year old Eizo L557 flat screen
with a resolution 1280x1024. It worked fine with an older G4 Mac Mini.
I have an Apple pro keyboard in version 4.10 and a 3-button+scroll wheel
Logitech wired optical mouse.
Once started, the Mac simply works fine.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be ?
Many thanks in advance

I have the same problem I am hung up right now color wheel spinning around, color wheel cursor, and I have a dark screen I guess I have to hold in the button or something to restart? What do you think? My macMINI is only 2 wks old has 1 gig ram its the 2.0 gHz intel C2D I'm going in tomorrow get upgr extra gig makes 2 gig. I'm not really insightful with this machine how do I turn it off or reboot to get out of this hang'n effect? Do I need to optimize the HD how do I do that I'm from win platform is there a scan/error fix disk / defrag procedure or disk clean we do on the mac what is the procedure on this. It seems your suggesting maybe mem error causing this hang'n on the mac, is that right? Even though I've had the cmptr only two wks I've only used it 4 to 5 days since I was over seas for 12 days.

topic via google...hence my post on this forum. Check out this
image effect:
http://www.letitbleedbook.com/photography
Does anyone know of how this may be done? If anyone can
recommend a tutorial that they have seen on their flash travels
that would relate to this effect this would be truly awsome!
I'm all ears folks so i look forward to what you may have to

X-fi, no EAX in BF 2

Hi all.
I have a X-fi Xtreme Music.
I have the settings on X-fi, Ultra and EAX on.
I also have my sound setup on Gamer.
Eax is checked on. Not sure this should be so after reading some posts.
And CMSS 3d is on.
I hear no EAX working at all.
Tested all over the place.
In buildings out of buildings.
In hangers and out.
Jeep honking outside, dri've into building, same sound
Sound never changes.
Friends of mine have EAX going with thier audigy cards and there is a big difference with those sounds.
Any help would be great, TY

DAD_23,
I got X-Fi XtremeMusic like you for BF2. I went in today to see if I could clearly hear EAX working. Just to make sure it was working as much as possible I went into the "Creative Audio Console" program and went to the "EAX Effects" tab and moved it all the way up to 2db. I then went into BF2 and went to Dragon Valley (32 player map) because I knew of some spots I should hear EAX working. On the Chinese side at their base flag there is a large hanger where there is an AA vehicle and a tank. If you go in there and stand on the platform next to the tank and AA and listen you will hear EAX working and noises outside sound like they are echoing around the hanger. If you step in the GROUND in the hanger the effect seems to disappear! Also, on that map there is a flag next to the ri'ver with a Heli pad and a shed with an armored vehicle and a Jeep. If you go in the shed and jump on the ledge right next to the wall you will hear echo effects from EAX. If you stand on the ground INSIDE the shed still it'll go away. I guess I don't know why the EAX effects are kind of "wrong" right now. It might be a "bug" with BF2 itself since I can hear EAX reliably if I do certain things. It doesn't seem like Creative's fault in this case to me? I tried turning off CMSS 3D and that didn't change the behavior. My guess is that in BF2 they said the shed was EAX echo and that the ground everywhere is not programmed to be part of the shed, so there's no EAX echo. Maybe DICE/EA will fix this in the BF2 .03 patch or at some later date?

Deadlock in Oracle/Linux

We are developing an application using Oracle 9.2.0.1 on Linux AS 2.1 and Developer 6i.
Very often when multiple users retrive records it gives an error "Can not reserve record ..retry..." or hangs.
Effectively it is working in single user environment and not in multiuser enviornment. The same application works well in Oracle 8i for windows 2000.
This is an integrated application with all the constraints enabled. There are many primary key and foreign key links across the application.
Can anyone suggest solutions.

After Effects CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6 Long Startup and Application Hang

Problem:
After Effects and Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS6 are very slow to start all of a sudden. Around 5 minutes to get to/by the intro dialogue box. For AE, the majority of the time is spent on the "initializing user interface." Then, if I can make a comp, and even a layer inside that comp, it will "Hang" if I attempt to open AE's General preferences for example (no preferences window ever comes up). This "hang" is what the Event Viewer in windows calls it, with the faulting module being afterfx.exe. Premiere is not much different. It makes it to the new project window fast, but after setting project parameters and creating the first sequence, I can't get into the preferences either and the application hangs. It is important to note that if I have another application open, like Chrome or Firefox for example at the time the application hangs, they will freeze as well. As soon as I kill the Afterfx.exe process, they come back to life.
I have read nearly all threads on the subject, and am struggling to find a solution:
Deleted preferences folder under my username's appdata.
Turned off Firewall (network traffic from dynamiclink, qtserver, etc was allowed, but what the hay)
ran windows system file checker/malwarebytes/rkill/rootkit detection.
checked for windows compatibility checkboxes under the file.
Uninstalled Wacom Tablet drivers
Disabled Aero
Started with ctrl-alt-shift to delete pref.
uninstalled video driver and replaced with one 6 months ago.
uninstalled, reinstalled, and tested various quicktime versions back to version 7.69
moved plugins folder
moved opengl's plugin out of the folder temporarily
Disabled all 3rd party codecs (xvid was the only one installed and for months)
reinitialized default directshow filters
checked for adobe font list (none found) and removed any fonts from 1 month ago to present.
used msconfig to selective startup without other applications/services running.
Uninstalled all adobe products, and reinstalled.
I performed all of these in a systematic manner, trying to solve the problem. None have fixed the problem.
So it doesn't seem to be a network issue, a codec issue, a plugin issue, a driver issue, font issue, or conflicting application. Any thoughts?
System Info:
PC Windows 7 pro 64-bit SP1
Core i7 - 960 24GB ram
AMD Radeon 6750 v12.10
Adobe CS6 Master Collection

Who's says that Microsoft can't debug?
I used msconfig, first disabling startup items, -same result.
Enabled all startup items, disabled all non-microsoft services - AE worked!
I re-enabled each service in turn until AE crashed.
The fault was related to an item for a video streaming device I have in my house. It was Monsoon-multimedia's Vulkano Service. Sometimes under the old name of Hava, this is an app that acts like a sling-box to send my Cable TV to my screen. It does load a couple of virtual devices in device manager, and uses a proprietary codec.
I uninstalled the vulkano streamer application and rebooted the external Vulkano device. I reinstalled the Vulkano and verified it connected to the device and could stream. Once it did, I tried AE again and IT WORKED!
I wonder if simply rebooting the Vulkano would have fixed it. Its like opening the garage door to turn on the refridgerator.
Thanks for the help!

We had this problem for a while now, the Splash screen hang with the message 'Converting Scrap…' in the info panel.
Our old work around was deleting the preferences folder in "C:\Users\Adminsitrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects" and replacing it with a backup of this folder, removing the cache folder and doing a reboot.
Today that didn't work either - so I followed the instructions from the Error Log (Check Aplication Log in the Windows Events Viewer) and found a tool called 'Action Center' in the Control Panel.
Inside the tool click on 'Troubleshooting' > Programs > Program Compatibility Troubleshooter   .. and follow the instructions.
It will run your application in some kind of safe / compatibility mode; and for us that did the trick!

CS5 Premiere, After Effects, and Encore hang on splash screen - Solution

I just installed Production Premium CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit system. The install went without a hitch, but when I attempted to start Premiere, After Effects or Encore, they would all hang at some place with the splash screen showing. I spent 2 hours on the phone with Adobe and they never solved the problem. They had me uninstall iTunes and Quicktime, upgrade my nVidea driver and upgrade to a newer version of Quicktime. None of this made a difference and at that point I realized they were not going to fix my problem. The first woman was an idiot and the guy I spoke to next was a lot better, but no solution. Premiere was hanging when loading the Quicktime plug-ins.
Then I had an Aha! moment. I shut off User Account Control, rebooted and then everything worked. I could also get the programs to work with UAC on if I changed the shortcut to "Run as Administrator" but then there would be a UAC prompt. By the way, I was running as a user with full administrator privileges.
I am astounded that Adobe has never encountered this problem before and did not have an immediate solution. Once again, Adobe Tech Support has continued to provide pathetic tech support.
Steve

The plug-ins that were involved in the hang on the splash screen were:
ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm
ImporterQuickTime.prm
The splash screen would hang for 5 minutes on each of these and then if PPro started it would only be a plain white window with the Menu Bar and then there would be no further response.

After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder CS5 Both Hang on Start-Up

I've got problems with After Effects hanging when I start it up on my Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz. (OS X 10.6.7 with 20 Gb of RAM). The program starts, but hangs when MediaCore is initialized.
The same thing happens with Adobe Media Encoder CS5, but it hangs when ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle loads.
I have tried repairing permissions and repairing my hard drive, but neither program has responded.
Anyone have an idea on a way around this for either program?
Thank you!
David Biddix

I'm having this issue as well, I've spent all morning researching what the problem is, but nothing is working for me. I deleted everything from my Quicktime folder because I read it could be a codec problem to no avail (thankfully I backed it up beforehand), I don't have a firewall, I can't think of any reason that it would freeze.
I'm running this on a MacBook Pro 15 inch version 10.6.7
Processor: 2 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I bought this computer two days ago mostly to run AE and I'd really like to get some work done!
My firewall is set to allow all incoming connections.

After Effects Hangs on Initializing Media Core and Only Uses .40 GB or RAM

I actually have either 2 separate issues or one that effects both. The fist one is that once After Effects loads, I generally can't RAM preview for 1080p quality, and about 6-20 frames for 720p, depending on if I get lucky or not. I went into Memory and Multiprocessing in the preference and no matter what I set the RAM per CPU to, the Actual CPUs that will be used is always 0, so then I go to details and it says "Installed RAM: 11.99 GB." "Current RAM Usage: .28 GB" "Allowed RAM Usage: .40GB." Whenever I render a video it always uses up to 3% or 4% of my RAM but never any higher.
And the second problem...
Whenever I start After Effects CS6 (and it happened in CS5.5) Trials it hangs on Initializing Media Core, for about 5 minutes, then it says Quicktime isn't installed. To fix that problem I have tried everything I could find in the 30+ hours I have spent on that problem. Turning off all firewalls, anti-virus, etc, updating, reinstalling, and everything in between. (Also I see dynamiclinkmanager.exe and AfterFX.exe but not QT32.exe or PProHeadless.exe which need to be allowed through firewalls and such)
I'm using After Effects CS6
Windows 7 64-bit
12 GB of RAM
Quicktime 7.7.2 and Itunes 10.6.3.25 Any ideas would be very much appreciated, thanks! ^.^

Ok, well I installed updates to my graphics driver, After Effects, and Windows, and unfortunately nothing worked, but from reading other forums, when I am using After Effects I should see QT32server.exe right? That doesn't show up in processes, but also I installed Premiere Pro to test dynamic link, and I always get an error "Failed to connect to Dynamic Link Manager." and when I hit Ctrl + Enter it says the same thing. ( I actually don't know what that hotkey does ) any ideas at all would be very much appreciated
Edit: I started thinking about it, my driver is an Nvidia GeForce GTS 450, which I didn't see on Adobe's supported list, is this the culprit behind the render problems?

After Effects hangs on "initializing Media Core"

I might be off subject here, but my AE CS6 would not complete the start up and simply hang at "INITIALIZING MEDIA CORE".
After finding some info about that, but for CS5, apparently a Quick Time codec problem, I got rid of PERIAN, and all is well now, it start right up.
I am using an old 2007 2.66 dual core, with 9GB and a 5770 graphic card. Not ultra spiffy, but does the job...

After Effects Hanging on Initializing Media Core

I downloaded the trial for After Effects CC 2014 to make sure it would work on my computer, but when I try to open it the start up screen hangs at initialing media core. I made sure that After Effects was allowed through the firewall, but it's still not working. I want to buy it, but I can't if it won't start. Please help!

I can't promise this will help and I have email from Adobe support that specifically says this won't work and isn't the problem. So if you want to try this, it's just working advice from some shlub who wants the software to work and doesn't care whose feelings are hurt. This response fixes all versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro in the CC and CC 2014 series. The file ExporterAVI.prm is bad. It has had a flaw since around 2013. Now you can fix this taking no chance with your computer or installation, so if you follow this carefully you'll do nothing to hurt your setup and if it doesn't work, just change it back.
Each application has it's separate copy in it's separate folder, so just go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\(Media Core Plug-ins)\Common
Find the file called ExporterAVI.prm and rename it (I always just rename it to ExporterAVI.prmold
Now run After Effects CC. If it loads, you found the problem. If it doesn't rename it back to it's original name and, no harm, no foul.
If it does load, know that you can't export an AVI file. You need a PRM file that works. I always keep one saved. It will work for the CC version and the CC 2014 version. It is from an old copy of the original CC version of both programs.t is 159Kb and dated 8/20/2013. The properties detail tab actually says it was created on 3/27/2012. Every time an update come out that affects this, it will stop working, so just rename it again and put back in the old file and you'll get full functionality. I've had to use it six time since the update after 8/2013, but I have full functionality of all four versions of both programs, but it won't work with the current version of ExporterAVI.prm. So far, that means every time it loads an update, I have to fix the file in the After Effects CC, After Effects CC 2014, Premiere Pro CC and Premiere Pro CC 2014. The same file is used in Prelude, Encore and Media Encoder, but I don't use those programs. so I don't know if they freeze up or not.
Also look at the last entry in your plugin loading.log file, it should say something like:
Loading E:\Win8\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\Common\ExporterAVI.prm
Invalid registry entry found so the plugin will be loaded from disk.
Loading from disk...
and then the log ends and the program freezes.
p.s. If you don't have a copy of the old version of the file, call Adobe, don't ask me - I can't give copies of it to anyone, I just make them because I keep backups before every update.

Livetype from FCE HD 3.0 hangs up on effects

On Leopard Livetype 1.2.1 hangs up on Effects; so I turn to the other Mac with Tiger 10.4.11 - just the same.
Which update did this? How can I continue?
____ br, Karl

The users are working with different versions of the OS and are having problems. It's not OS related. Some people are not having problems using 10.4.11. You should not assume that an OS upgrade is the cause of your problems. Simply rebooting the computer might have affect something in the software. The person who began the thread is having a problem while working in 10.4.7. Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling all the Final Cut software form the disc?

Unable to enable DirectX effects (hangs at 92%!)

When I try to enable DirectX effects, Audition first refreshes the effects list. It does this fine until it gets to 92%, then it hangs, stopping at the same effect (JetAudio Sound Effector V3) each time. Audition is still running but nothing happens, it just doesn't go any further, and I have to force close the program.
Can anyone think of a way I can stop this one effect from loading? I searched but couldn't find any file with that file name.
I am unable to enable any of my DirectX effects. Thanks for any help.

Dodgy DirectX has always been a bit of a problem. Unlike VSTs, which are essentially DLLs that sit somewhere nice and sensible, and you can install and delete them easily, DirectX has to use an installer, and heaven only knows where it puts the appropriate files... although I understand that the real issue with removing them is that they end up as registry entries, and not necessarily straightforward ones either.
Probably the most useful thing I can suggest is that you look at this thread on the KVR forum, where there are a couple of suggestions.
