How do I get rid of black shadows around layered sparkles in file imported from Illustrator CC to After Effects CC?

I have a background with a logo that will have various stars or sparkles around the logo. I eventually want the sparkles to flicker on and off around the logo in my Premiere Pro video.
I created my layered logo/sparkle artwork in Illustrator CC. Each sparkle is on a separate layer. The sparkles came from clip art. In Illustrator CC the sparkles are white or yellow. In After Effects CC they have a black background around each sparkle, almost like a drop shadow.
I want to get rid of the drop shadow/black background.
Any suggestions?

Check the problematic layers in the comp by soloing them and then press the u key twice to reveal everything that is not set to the defaults. Make sure there are no layer styles or other effects checked. If all is normal but the art still looks odd open up the footage interpretation, Click the More Options button at the bottom left. and set the anti aliasing for vector art to More Accurate. You can do similar in Preferences>Previews and set Zoom Quality to More Accurate.
Here's another tip for using Illustrator files for video. Any stroked artwork must have a minimum stroke of 1 point or 1 pixel. 2 is better. Fine details in your artwork should be drawn with the snap to pixel option enabled in Illustrator and artwork should be an even number of pixels (points) high and wide.
If none of that works, save out just some of the problematic layers in you AI file and send us a link so we can check out the file or post a screenshot of the problem viewed at a zoom factor of 100% with resolution set to Auto or Full and the properties of your layer with problems revealed.

  • HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

    How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

  • How do I get rid of a shadow using PS Elements 4.0

    Hi, I'm using Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Windows. I suck at Photoshop, but I need to get rid of a shadow that is cast on my son in a picture I have. If anyone could take time to help this pathetic guy I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Kevin,
    None of the 4 methods worked in your case.
    Here is what I did instead:
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1ee9uCehSnJYqaifYrjaS4w9p0DSRg
    For the shadows on the baby's body I used the Clone tool with a brush size to capture as large an area as possible on each shoulder, then cloned away. I did this on a new layer so that I could Erase (with a hard brush) any portions of the clone that drifted off the baby's body. I also erased (using a soft brush) the clone off his neck.
    For the shadow under his eyes I use the Clone with Mode set to Lighten and Opacity to 35%, and cloned areas just below the shadow.
    For other areas of shadow I used the Dodge tool. This takes a lot of trial and error. Experiment with different brush sizes and Range values. In some cases I found that rather than simply "painting" over the shadows I got better results using low Exposure values and incrementally dabbing the shadow; each dab lightens it a bit.
    I also used the Clone on other areas that the Dodge tool couldn't fix.
    After all is done you can use the Blur tool to smooth out the edges of any cloned areas.

  • How do I get rid of various lines around text boxes when using navigation panes

    How can I get rid of these various lines that are displaying sporatically around different text boxes . . . but only when the navigation panel is displaying?  I previously had the issue and changed the text box properties to no fill.  It fixed the problem in the document with no navigation panel, but once the navigation panel is displayed the lines appear.  And yes, I fixed the text box properties before creating the bookmarks for the navigation panel.

    Every device, browser and browser version has its idiosyncrasies.
    Just using a stroke and a drop shadow should not have been enough to require Muse to convert the page fill to an image. Were/are there also other effects on the page? Are the page corners slightly rounded?
    Bevel and Inner Glow definitely require an image to be created. Most other effects/properties do not.

    You should be able to delete them from the bookshelf in the iBooks app via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If they show on the bookshelf with a cloud symbol on them then try turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'. Is that what is happening ?

  • How do i get rid of black space at the end of a video presentation?

    After creating a project in iMovie and burning it onto a DVD, I realized that when the movie was finished, it did not return to the Menu right away and instead it played 20 or so seconds of blackness that I can't seem to get rid of. Has anyone else had this problem? And how do i fix it? I have also checked if my any audio or narration tracks lengths were that long, and none were.
    Please help.

    In the course of your editing you may inadvertently have left a tiny scrap of audio or video way out at the end of your time line, with a large gap between it and the last clip in your movie. Your movie will play out until it reaches that scrap, leaving a large black gap at the end of the movie. Sometimes these scraps are so tiny that they are difficult to see and can be overlooked in normal view. Expand your time line view to its fullest extent and check to see if you can find such a scrap, left over from editing, and then delete it. It's worth a look, though you may not find anything. That's all I can think of, unless for some reason you have a 20 second long black clip at the end of your movie that you forgot to delete. (Don't laugh--it happened to me once.)
    Good luck in resolving your issue.

  • How do I get rid of a border around a link?

    I made a 'twoColFixLtHdr.css' document. I inserted .png files
    (button images) into the sidebar and have these linked to documents
    using the 'Browse for File' icon in the Properties window. In
    Safari and IE the pages look fine in that there is no blue border
    indicating that the files are linked. In Firefox, however, there is
    a blue border surrounding the files. Is there any way to get rid of
    this border so that it doesn't show up in Firefox?
    Thanks for the help,

    Get a tutorial/book about CSS. Learn how it relates to HTML
    and which
    things you can affect through CSS by changing properties.
    Learn how to
    address specific elements by using selectors. These selectors
    are the
    most powerful, but IMHO also the most underestimated feature
    of CSS.
    It's really not that difficult. With just some basic
    knowledge, rules
    like
    a img {border: 0}
    become almost trivial to write and understand.

  • How do I get rid of myself and other users and just be working from the hard drive?

    Hi all,
    I know this sounds odd, but bear with me...
    I've just bought a new Macbook pro 10.7.4, as my loved old one died. At the store they tranferred all my old info to the new one, but my problem is this: Now I am a user on my computer and there are options for shared users. That sounds confusing, but on my old computer it was just me using it. No sign in or log in, and when I opened my finder window everything was just there in the one bucket (my hard drive): library, apllications, programs, etc. Now I open my finder window and find duplicates of things in all places( i.e. things on my hard drive are also (or not, maddeningly, such as library) there, and then they are also in users or shared.) It is only ever me using my computer, so I don't need all this extra clutter everywhere, or have to go searching for things in different places. Old system was like opening a drawer and finding all your posessions neatly arranged in there, in the one place. Now i feel as though I walk into a room filled with cupboards and things are in some drawers that are also in others, and duplicated.
    I apologise for my long rant, but I had to find a way to explain it!
    Basically, I want to get rid of other user or shared options on my mac, and myself as a user, and just have the one system staright off the hard drive, no other log ins, but still obviously retain my permissions (password etc) for making changes or installing. Is this possible?

    Well, you're going to have two Library folders - one for yourself and one for the System, but you can delete other users and you can enable automatic log-in for yourself using "Users and Groups" in System Preferences. No need to turn on Sharing or have any other users. You'll still need to make yourself an administrator, of course, but if you delete any other users, you delete their home folders, too.

  • How do you get rid of black AMIBIOS screen?

    my sister was trying  to figure out how to turn on my touchsmart computer and when i turned it on she turned it off and on again then i got the black AMIBIOS screen.  I don't have the blue hp screen anymore.  Can I do a full factory recovery to see if I get my blue hp screen back again?  Or do i have to send my computer to hp again to have it fixed like I had to before when i had the black bios screen.

    Hello panda349:
              Welcome to HP's forum. Champ no problem. I going to guide you through your first back restore. It would be nice if your parents would help you with this as well. First I like you to turn off your computer then turn it back on and press hold down on F-8 key. It will display safe mode screen. Now use your arrow keys and select safe mode with network. Let it load in files sceen. Now every thing is going to be large. This is normal alright. I want you to close Help and Support window. Now go to all programs search box and type in recovery manager click on it soon as you see it above listed. Now it shoud opened up. Now select Microsoft System Restore  click yes in next window now you will see a list of dates please choose a date that was before your sister messed up your computer as close as can. Click next. Let it do its recovery. Once it is completed close out recovery message window. You should be back to normal and all set.
               If f-8 method failed to open please have your parent perform a force shut down procedure. Turn on your computer now with the computer still on disconnect power cord  from power cord box. Plug it back in and turn on your computer this will automatically put you in safe mode. Please follow the above direction but leave out f-8 key part. Continue with back restore directions.
                Please let us know if you still need more help. Thank you frrw.
