Hatch Effects

Hello all,
First post here.
I have posted this question on other Illustrator forums.
Is there any plug-in available to bring the Hatch Effects from the late Illustrator 10 back to us Mac users?
It seems PC users can simply drop their Pen and Ink plug-in folder from Illustrator 10 right into their Plug-ins/Illustrator Filters and they are golden.
No joy for the Mac users though. I have been missing this filter a lot lately and decided to ask a few forums for advice about a third party plug-in or any other way to bring this back.
I was given false hope when I heard someone say they just copied the plug-in from 10 to CS3. Then they started posting pics of work they've been doing with it in CS3. I was very excited. However, most of the forums I visited are not platform specific. It soon became apparent that only the PC users were having success.
Any suggestions for the Mac community?
Thanks
Chuck

Hi,
unfortunatley the hatch effects do not work with Illustrator CS4 anymore. This is because they removed the "Filter" Menu. It seems like the filter is recognized (I read it at start up, when modules are loaded), but there is no menu to use it in CS4...
Anyone has a solution for this?
regards
Tobias

Fear the worst. Strange marks on display

Hi,
2005 iMac (PPC) on 10.5.8. When viewing a picture in Preview or iPhoto get this strange column-like hatching effect on screen. Also, occasionally the whole display freaks out and looks like a dog's (cat's?) regurgitated breakfast, until a restart which seems to right things for a while. Afraid the graphics card is heading south, can anyone confirm please? Is it fixable or am I looking at a hole in my wallet? Many thanks for any any advice :-)

You may have a problem with the video chip.
Here is how to tell...
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Bootup will be longer.
Wait awhile while you harddrive is being checked.

Runs OK in safe mode...
Running in Safe mode leaves out some video drivers. Which results in your machine not using advanced video hardware. As luck would have it, you can run the safe mode video drivers in normal mode.

Photoshop CS5 for Windows - Image resize/shadow detail

Hi
I have a problem I am experiencing more often that I could do with some help on.
My problem is that, if I reduce a photograph in size, the shadow details becomes distorted. The distortion when viewed at 100% looks like a feint grid hatching effect.
My workflow consists of Adobe lightroom - I shot in RAW, then prep in Lightroom. Then I use photoshop if I need to do some additional work on the photo.
Its very odd. I can reproduce the problem in photoshop as soon as its opened from lightroom. Meaning - I havent applied anything in photoshop like adjustment layers or filters.
Can anyone offer a steer on this, or has anyone come across this before? I can post an example of this when I get home (I am at work at the moment)
I was hoping someone else may have come across this issue and perhaps offer a workaround.
I am patched uptodate with all available patches.
Thanks in Advance

Oh, that's possible. I went and read the detailed specs for my computer and it seems like it has both Intel and NVIDIA. Could that be it? (Computer hardware issues are not my area of expertise.)

Strange corrupted screen and hanging 10.8.5 Early 2008 Mac Pro

For the past couple of days (and also a couple of times in the past I remember) I've been getting a strange corrupted screen and the computer freezes. I can still move the mouse around but nothing clicks and the computer is completely non-responsive. I can't force quit and programs or the finder and the only way out is to restart the computer.
Yesterday, when this first started happening the computer wouldn't actually restart properly and hanged at the grey screen/apple logo .
I did all the usual like booting in safe mode, which booted up and seemed to work OK but I didn't try for long enough to see if the crash happened again.
But when I tried to reboot in normal mode the same grey screen/apple logo and no further, just the mouse pointer which I was able to move around the grey screen.
I did disk utility in safe boot mode, repaired disk permissions, reset the PRAM/NVRAM ( think I've got that right).
I even did a new install of 10.8.5 - but not a complete clean install wiping the disk etc, but re-install on top.
That solved the problem or so I thought - the computer started up normally and I was able to carry on working.
But since then I've had about 4 crashes throughout the course of the day - I've been able to get work done but every so often the screen (apple cinema display) will get a funny hatched effect on part of the screen or a corrupted screen - I've attached pictures so you can see.
I've set up a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow but wondered if anybody has any suggestions before then?

The strange thing is that a Apple Hardware Test (run from the original 10.5.8 install CD) shows no problems with the hardware.
Yes, the screen corrupted when starting up from a completely different drive and from the recovery disk this morning - suggesting to me that the fault is definitely not with a corrupted hard drive/software but on the video side of things.
How can I definitively find out if it the graphics card that just needs replacing as opposed to a new HD which my repair centre have suggested is at least one of the problems?
Confused now as to the next step forward.

Scribble fx - curve setting without looping

when choosing curvy in scribble fx, it loops the ends of hatchmarks, can we have a curvature setting that doesnt loop the ends? I wanted a natural curved hatching effect with sharp pointed ends, not looped ends,
i`ve used envelopes and clipping masks to cut off the ends but it leaves straight blocked ends as opposed to sharp points,
also the envelopes warp the whole shape not just the curves that fit perfectly inside the shape when using fx scribble. and I dont want to convert expand as again to warp these hatchings with warp tool would ruin the outer contour shape...

>Learn the M audio!!!! <
I KNEW IT!!! LOL!
I just KNEW someone was going to say that. Yeah, $400 and a year later it is sitting in a drawer. I don't have the time. The "manual" is even worse than Creative's "user guide". It is assumed if you spend $400 you have a clue. I'm a Guitarist! Not a keyboard player. We walk into the studio, plug in, play our parts, get paid, then go out for pizza.
It took me long enough to figure out Acid, Waves plug-ins and T-Racks before I finally had some quality production values. I can't speed another year learning M-Audio's firewire "controls".
Come on. Someone must know what is up with the "value".
Do I need to reinstall the drivers? What?

Placing a hatched or window pane effect on a photo in the album

Iam in the middle of making an album as a gift, one of the photos was placed with a window pane effect on it, I know how to remove it, but would like to place that same effect on a different photo in the album. Unable to find out how to do it. Tjank you for your help.

What version of iPhoto? I assume you mean you're making a book, right? Can you take a screenshot of the photo with the effect and post it (use the camera button in the tool bar). What does the photo look like back in its Event? I don't know what you mean by a window effect but it might be one of the Effects options in the Edit mode
Select the photo in it's Event and use the Photos ➙ Revert to Original menu option if it's not grayed out. That will remove any edit done in iPhoto.

Recent issue on multiple PCs: Preview and Export flicker/banding/moire effect

Recently we discovered one of our PC's flickering and banding in the preview window during playback and on exports. Shortly thereafter, the same issue appeared on another workstation. What we are seeing is a variation of issues that include but are not limited to the following within the preview window and more importantly in our renders:
Flicker - Video changes in brightness
Moire effect - Can see a cross-hatch pattern during playback
Banding - You can clearly make out horizontal or vertical lines, or sometimes both.
Seeing layers beneath 100% opacity layers. When two layers are stacked with footage, you can see the footage below as if the top layer is at 97% despite the actuality of it being at 100%.
These issues exist on multiple machines with differing specs, in all projects. This is neither a project or machine-based issue. All effects removed from clips within the timeline; source footage looks great in standalone player. These issues occur with a new project with a blank color matte.
Just spent 3+ hours in live chat with an Adobe Rep who remotely team-viewed to see the same issues testing project base solutions to no avail. Everything was tested from render containers/codecs, local vs server, project managing, cache clearing, etc. These same projects did not exhibit these issues a week ago.
All of these situations lead me to believe that this is a Premiere issue, something changed with how Premiere is handling our files and this is a huge issue. We are unable to deliver finals to clients due to this problem.
Ticket # 0185909669

Ran some tests. Wiped everything with Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Reinstalled the previous iteration of CC (not 2014), version 7.0.0 base. The issue exists here as well. Updated it to 7.2.2, same thing. Wiped everything again with the cleaner tool, installed CC 2014 Base, 8.0.0 and had the same issue, updated to current version no difference. These issues did not always exist, this is of recent coming.
We are running multiple Windows 7 and 8 machines at 64-bit. Their hardware varies per computer and all produce the same results.
We are having to make all renders from ONE mac that does not exhibit the symptoms described in the first post. This is HUGELY restricting to our business and we are having to wait on queues of renders to deliver due to this.
Exact same issue in post here: Re: Weird Horizontal Interference in Exported Video (check out the YouTube link)

Cross-hatched clips in sequence timeline?

I'm seeing a strange problem in one of my sequences which was working fine but on reopening the project, I see that all but the first 7 seconds of the edited clips on the timeline are now cross-hatched. There's no video or sound when I scrub over the cross-hatched portion. I've tried removing all effects and transitions but no joy. There are several other sequences in this project which are all working normally. Any ideas?

I had the same problem importing from Prem CC on editors ext HD (also mac) to Prem CC2014 on this computer.
Attempting to relink media hasn't fixed it.
Looks like i have to rebuild the edit at this end, luckily the footage wasn't media managed so have all the source files. However, it looks like a lot of the clips that "look ok" ie not crosshatches, actually have incorrect inpoints media wise.
However, I have the old version of Premiere CC on my computer, when opened in that it does the same thing. So i suspect that this is the much vaunted "reconnect media accurately automatically" feature that i watched in a promo last year kicking in, rather than a CC -> CC2014 issue

Preview of loops has effect on it (digital delay)??

Previewing my drum loops (all music loops actually) ... I'm picking up digital delay. Where is it coming from?
When I drag the loop to the arrange window the effect is still there ... even though there is no effect assigned to that particular audio track.
I'm just getting up to speed on this Logic update. So I'm at a loss. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.
Ben

Aha!!
This is only happening when I am using the beat mapping. I have a piece of audio I've 'beat-mapped'. Now I want to add a loop to it. But the loop previews, and the loops when I add them to the audio track, have some weird digital delay effect on them.
This isn't happening if I'm NOT doing a beat map. Everything is normal.

How do I get loops to keep the effect settings I hear when previewing?

When I place loops into a new track, the effects settings go away and it is simply a dry signal. How can I move a loop from the browser into a new track and have it keep the effects settings that I hear when I preview the loop?

If you drag a green MIDI loop onto the Arrange window space, it should create a Software instrument track with all the required plug-ins for the sound, so don't drag it to an already existing Software instrument track.
If you drag it to an audio track it will convert it to an audio file, so obviously the instrument/fx plug-ins wont be in the channel strip.
If that's what you mean?

I am trying to install after effects, but no matter what version I try to download, there is always a different error not allowing me to open or use the program after I have already installed it.

I have recently repurposed an iMac from late 2009 as an editing machine, and have been trying to install preferably After Effects CS6. When I install and try to open it for the first time, the program quits unexpectedly and continues to do the same every time I try to reopen the program. After no luck experimenting trying to fix the problem, I attempted to download the trial of After Effects CC 2014 to see if the problem was with the computer or with the application. After installing CC, there was another error when I attempted to open it. My final attempt was taking After Effects CS5 from an old hard-drive and attempting to open it on the iMac. When I open CS5 I am greeted with another error message telling me to reinstall After Effects. After reinstalling I get the same message.
I am confused to whether my computer can handle After Effects, or there is another error occurring.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Open and Close Shelf Effect

Relative newb to Flash and not sure what the issue is but I have a shelf opening and closing effect The timeline is 45 frames long and when the shelf is out it has this AS3 code in it:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
ShelfOpen,addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShelf);
function closeShelf(evt:MouseEvent){
gotoAndPlay(17);
Once clicked, the shelf closes and only a sliver of the shelf appears.   The person can re-open it by clicking the sliver at frame 30 using this code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
ShelfOpen,addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openShelf);
function openShelf(evt:MouseEvent){
gotoAndPlay(31);
In the last frame (45) I have the code:
gotoAndStop(16)
which should return the shelf to its open position and allow the user to close it again if they click in the shelf, but it seems to be listening at at frame 30 and just running the Open Shelf motion again. I would just like the user to be able to open and close the shelf as they like. Any help would be apprecaited.
-DC

See if removing the event lsteners in the event handlers helps, as in...
ShelfOpen.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShelf);
function closeShelf(evt:MouseEvent){
   ShelfOpen.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeShelf);
   gotoAndPlay(17);
(similarly for the other)
and make sure you are not using commas after ShelfOPen like you did in the code you posted.

After Effects CS5.5 Wont Open - Application Just Bounces In The Dock.

Hi all,
I appear to have encountered a problem with After Effects... I was working on a project earlier today which usalizes a VideoCopilot plug-in called Element 3D. After a quick break I came back to the project and attempted to load in the 'Free Earth Project' by VideoCopilot. (http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2012/08/free-earth-project-for-element-3d/). As their site suggests, I had to place a downloaded project folder called 'Earth' into Element 3D's 'My_Models' folder. Immediately after this I tried loading After Effects and encountered the issue. I'm not sure if it's couincidence or directly related which is why I am posting here.
After Effects does nothing but bounce in the Dock. When I right-click the application I'm met with a 'Force Quit' option, and a message saying "Application not responding". I'm on OS X 10.7.4. I'm not able to tell you what version of AE I'm running, only that it's CS5.5, as I cannot lanch it to find out. All other Adobe products work with no problem.
I have already contacted the support team at VideoCopilot and they have sent me an updated build of Element 3D in an attempt to resolve the issue, unfortunately though this did not work. Addiitonally, I have tried booting into Safe-Mode and tried to launch the application from there, as well as using Disk-Utility to 'Repair Permissions'. All of these steps have failed to get AE working again.
If anyone knows of a way to fix this I would be most grateful. I'm working to a very tight deadline and am afraid that I will miss it. Additionally, if anyone has any fixes that doesn't require reinstalling applications that'll be a bonus!
I've also attached a crash-report to this post incase it's of any use in determining the cause of the problem (I couldn't find a way to attach it directly, so the file is hosted on my website - I apologise in advance if this is against forum rules!) - http://www.starfireindustries.org.uk/uploads/8/6/6/1/8661295/ae_error_report.rtf
Thanks in advance,
John.
