I added an adjustment layer. Now it only letting me export as AAF?!

What does that mean? Alpha channel? I added an adjustment layer, black and white effects to my entire video. Now its only letting me export as AAF. It's also asking me whether to "embed audio" or "save as legacy file". What in the world does that mean and what should I choose? This is just a draft to show to client.

Ann, when I go to Export, I only get "AAF" and "Final Cut Pro XML" options...I don't see "Media" so that I can choose my options. In one movie, I have an adjustment layer on top of all movie. To make the movie black and white.
But another movie is just plain. And still I get only "AAF".
The first tim I went to export this movie, regular, I exported as .mov Now it's not letting me do that. What's going on? I have to show this to my boss in few hours...
Thank you so much.

Adding an adjustment layer

I need help… I go to add a adjustment in cs5 then layers. i moves my mouse over the to tabs to select my selected colour shade . in my case i was to darken a area in my image. I press ctrl i. all works and my layer is created. now i go to the brush tool and select and then when i go to go over areas on my image nothing works as it did earlier. I am sure i have pressed something but i have no idea what. Can anyone help me? I have a hat on a persons head that is too bright and i need to darken it.

Things to check:
Check to make you have the correct layer selected
Check which is selected the image or the mask icon on that layer.
Check what the opacity and fill levels are for that layer
With the brush tool selected, check to see what the blend mode is, in the top tool bar.
Check the Opacity of the brush

[Photoshop CC 2014] Click&hold-move-release doesn't work when adding adjustment layer from the layer panel

When selecting a menu item I used to click the left mouse button and hold it down, move the pointer to the desired menu item and release the mouse button. Everything works fine in the mine menu, but there's a problem when adding new adjustment layer from the layer panel: when I release the button nothing happens, I have to press the button again. In previous PS version it worked fine. How can I fix this?

I don't think that is user fixable, meaning you'll have to wait till adobe fixes it with an update.

Image not appearing after adding adjustment layer?

My image layer isn't showing after adding an adjustment layer. I'm trying to turn a JPG picture of a nuclear explosion into a 3D/Camera effect.
I've added one solid layer below the JPG which is just grey. The JPG is in the middle. The adjustment layer is on top, with Colorama Get phase/Add phase from alpha channel. Plus turbulnce display added.
Whats going on? Or am I meant to do something else to the JPG first?

I figured out what was wrong- it just didn't appear in the static preview, but it was fine when I clicked composition>Preview. Is this how it looks normally?
I was attempting to make a weird 3D spinning pictures of nuclear explosions and bombs which panned/zoomed in and out of the images.

I reopened the case for there was no fix Adobe contacted me and told me it would be fixed is some future release of Photoshop and once again case # 181675168 was closed over my objection.
I was vocal about Adobe poor excuse for support in forums. I then was contacted by Jeff Tranberry of Adobe he was asked to contact me by John Nack to see if he could change me. We exchanged some e-mails ending with Jeff writing unfortunately, you issues has been deemed low impact and has been deferred.
May 7, 2012 I called Adobe to find out if this bug was fixed in Photoshop for I did not want to buy CS6 if the Bug was not fixed. After about an hour on the phone talking to many Adobe employees including Adobe Support referenced case # 181675168 log as Bug # 2737069. I was told the bug was not in CS6. So I ordered CS6. FedX dropped off Today I installed it only to find the bug introduced is CS4 reported in CS5 is still in CS6.
Adobe when will you fix this bug # 2737069????

NOTES & RESPONSES

CS5 has a bug recording and playing Actions that add Adjustments layers. Old actions recorded before CS5 and actions recorded with CS5 may or may not Play/Work correctly.
Before there was an Adjustment Panel all Adjustment Layers were added applied to all layers and you needed to clip them after the were added if you wanted it clipped. The new adjustment panel made it possible to add a adjustment layer clipped to the current layer. However a clipping parameter is not recorded by the action recorder just the type and setting are recorded.
When a make adjustment layer step is play it is either clipped or not depending on the state of the adjustment panel's clipping icon. If it not in the same state as it was when the action was recorded it will be add incorrectly. It would also be impossible to create an action that added some adjust layer clipped and others that are not.
I feel the is a serious bug which needs to be addressed. I believe the solution is simple and even old actions will also work.
Two patches are needed.
One in the Action recorder. If the step being recorded is make adjustment layer and the adjustment panel icon state is clip to layer this needs to be recorded in the action step record. If the layer is to be applied nothing extra needs to be recorded in the step record just leave it as is like actions prior to the adjustment panel.
The second patch in the Action Player. If the step that is about to execute is a make adjustment layer. The Player needs to save away the state of the adjustment panel icon. Then check the adjustment step record to see if it is to be clipped. If so set the adjustment panel icon to the clipping state else set it to the all layers state. Then do/call the add adjustment layer function/routine on return restore the adjustment panels icon from the saved state. Proceed to the next step.
I have been trying to report the bug for days. Please at least acknowledge you received my bug report.
Thanks
JJ

Custom support had me fill out a bug report at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm? name=wishform which I did but that was not even acknowledged. I demonstrated the bug to customer support by sharing my screen.

simpler then I first thought. Upon more investigation this is what I see.
I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS4.
Action that add adjustment Layers clipped to the current layer that step is recorded Make adjustment layer with Clip.
Action that add adjustment Layers not clipped Step records as Make adjustment layer.
When a step Make adjustment layer with Clip is played back that is what Photoshop does.
When a step Make adjustment layer is played back what Photoshop does is look at the adjustment panel clipping icon state and and if it is clip to current layer Photoshop does clip the adjustment layer to the current when is should be applied to all.
Many of the actions I have created add adjustment layer applied to all then later clip them to the current layer. These actions generate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped clipping it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I wanted it to be. But actions I recorded where I want the adjustment to apply to all are clipped and the is no error message just wrong results.

Create a one step action that add an adjustment layer that applies to all layers.
Play that action with the icon in the adjustment panel is set to apply to all layers. Change the status of that icon to clip to layer and play the action again.
You will find the first adjustment layer was added correctly apply to all layers like it was recorded the second adjustment was added clipped to layer when it should be applied to all...

July 2 Adobe support called me once again they share my display and I demonstrated the bug for a second time. This time the stated they were recording my demo. After I demonstrated the bug they put me on hold for a while. Upon returning they informed me that there was still no circumvention or fix for this problem. They wanted to know if I was at the latest software level they were still sharing my display so I did a Photoshop Help About Photoshop to show I had the latest update Photoshop version 12.0.1. Told me they were not capable of handling this problem and would have to refer this to senior technical support that they would determine if it was a bug. What a joke Adobe junior technical support can not even recognize a bug when it has been demonstrated to them on two occasions now and also received several case update from me. Adobe you need better support personal.

Hi John ,
Thank you for getting back to us.
I would like to apologize for the delay in providing you a faster resolution to your issue and appreciate your patience with us.
I would like to inform you that your issue has been logged as bug so the workaround is obviously to make sure the clip to layer is not enabled prior to running any of these actions.Also my Product Team and Engineering Team are working on this issue you can use the work around as mentioned above.
This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue.

Any work around does not solve my problem. Thousands have downloaded my actions. There is no way that I can contact them to make the aware of any work around. I can code around this bug but again I have no way to get the update to those that have downloaded my actions for they are free. All that is logged is the number of downloads. No registration is required so there is no way to contact the users that downloaded my actions. The problem will only be resolved when adobe updates Photoshop and fixes the problem.

This case should not be closed till there is a fix for this bug. How can Adobe Support close a bug report when Adobe acknowledges its a bug where Adobe Support does not provide a fix. Blowing smoke with statements like "if in the future a resolution or fix is possible, it will be available from the Adobe Systems product update web site". Photoshop CS3 work correctly Adobe broke the Action Player in CS4 and its still broken is CS5. "if a fix is possible!"!!! Are you joking? What kind of support is that? Do you get a bonus for closing bug reports without fixing the bug? Does it make you look good inside Adobe. I can tell you from the outside there is a foul stench emulation from Adobe Technical Support.

Dear John ,
Thank you for getting back to us with the required information and we appreciate your patience in helping us to resolve your issue as soon as possible.
I would suggest you to please go to through the KB document to move actions from Photoshop CS4 to CS5 given below :
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86020.html
Please make sure about the loaction of actions which you created or saved in Photoshop CS4, go to that location and make sure you have all the actions there.
Did it ever work in Photoshop CS5?
Try to make a copy of the action that he is trying to run, remove the 'Hide' command and re-record hide in PS CS5, put it into the action, and see if that works.
Or try making a short action along with Hide command . If this works, then something might have got changed between the version.

Adjustment layer on top of 3d layer

Hi all, how do you make ae adjustment layer work with 3d layer? For example I have a red colour solid layer (with 3d turn on) and on top of it i have a adjustment layer with hue and saturation effect added, but when i play with the effect slider the solid colour doesnt change...
Thanks for the help

This sounds like one of those cases where it's much better to apply the effect directly to the layer in question than to use an adjustment layer.
In fact, it's good practice to limit adjustment layer use to only those times whan they're absolutely necessary. If you use them as a crutch, you'll run into problems eventually.
Like now, I guess....

Changing opacity in an adjustment layer to affect just one video track

Premiere Pro CS6
Hi,
I have a sequence of images in one video track that creates an animation and I've added an ultra key effect to remove the background of every image one by one (not sure if there was a better way to do this but anyway). Now I want to introduce this animation slowly with an opacity change but I can't seem to make it work. I've tried adding an adjustment layer and changing the opacity but this didn't work, I only want to change the opacity of this animation, not the other video track as well. So then I added a transform effect to the adjustment layer. I adjusted the opacity within this transform effect in this adjustment layer but I can't seem to make this work well either.
I've tried exporting the animation as a separate file so that I can bring it back to my project as one clip, but I'm a bit lost as to what kind of file to export it to. I tried an AAF file but that didn't load into my main project at all well and I had to force PPro to close.
Thanks.

Make your animation in its own sequence.
Then bring that sequence into the EDIT SEQUENCE. ( a Nest)

Apply adjustment layer to different layer?

Warning: I know just enough to be dangerous. And barely enough to explain myself. I've just managed to create exactly the effect I want, but...
I have a layer (HEADER) to which I applied adjustment layers (curves and levels) using "Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask". So now, above my HEADER layer, I have the adjustment layers (with linked masks) with the little black right-angle arrow pointing down to my HEADER layer.
Is it possible to copy these adjustment layers and apply them to a second layer (e.g. FOOTER)?

Shoot, I knew someone would hone in on those names. This is an image originally created by a design agency. "Header" and "Footer" refer to "swooshes" across the top and bottom of the image. So ignore the meaning of the names...
And I'm sure I'm overlooking something really simple... OK, I have the HEADER layer at the top of my layer stack. Above it are the Curves and Levels adjustment layers (actually there is a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer also), with the little black arrows pointing down indicating that the adjustment layer is applied ONLY to the Header layer. (At least I think that's what those black arrows mean.) Cool.
Then there are about five more layers of other stuff. The adjustment layers don't affect them. Cool.
Then there is the Footer layer. There are several more layers below the Footer layer. I would like to take all three of those aforementioned adjustment layers and apply them to the Footer layer also. So I duplicate, for starters, the Curves layer. "Curves copy" appears above the original, with it's little black down-arrow. But when I drag it to be above the FOOTER layer, it loses its little black arrow and is now applied not only to the FOOTER layer but also to all layers below it. Not cool.
Does that help? Thanks for taking me on...

Huge Bugs with Many Legs Still Living in Premiere Pro - (Border from Sharpening & Flickering from Adjustment Layer)

I haven't edited video in awhile. While working on a new project I've run into a bunch of what I suppose are well known issues in Premiere Pro CC 2014. It seems Adobe has know about these issues for some time, but that for some reason, nothing is being done about them. Here is my most recent experience with editing a video using PP:
1. Found that color correction tools in Premiere Pro for setting White Balance Suck for folks who don't edit video 8 hours a day.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: White Balance in Premiere Pro CC on Vimeo
The dude shows you how to use the Cyroce Color Neutralizer plugin from After Effects - but sure enough the current version of the plugin that ships with AE CC 2014 doesn't work with premiere any more so you have to download the old version from dude's website here: http://www.sternfx.com/tutorials/136
Thanks to the DUDE!
2. Found out that adding an Adjustment layer can cause flickering in footage.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: PP CC 2014 - adjustment layers flickering problem : Adobe Premiere Pro AND Re: image flickering from adjustment layer
Added mask to control flickering. More specifically, I turned each effect in the adjustment layer on and off until I found the particular effect that was causing the flickering. Then I created a mask in that effect which covered the entire frame. Mystically the flickering disappeared. Learned that if you make any changes to adjustment layer effects, flickering will return and you have to delete/recreate the mask once again. Ridiculous.
3. Thought all was good and that I could now peacefully continue to finish my project. I was wrong. Found that adding sharpening in adjustment layer causes a small border to form around the entire frame. The pixels seem faded or translucent or something.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: Sharpening bug Premiere Pro - - Fourmedia
So now I've learned that the sharpening effect needs to go on it's own adjustment layer. Awesome.
Flickering returns because I made a change to adjustment layer 1. Re-mask. Sweet.
That's it. Pretty sure this post will help folks out, but man I am going to run out and give another NLE a shot. None of these operations should be this difficult. Makes me wonder if Adobe even attempts to use their own programs. I don't see how anyone could possibly let a huge tool like Premiere Pro suffer from these issues -- and for so long a period of time. Absolutely ridiculous. Adobe truly seems to be asleep at the wheel. This is some amateur crap here.

Thanks for this post. It would be cool (since Adobe doesn't seem to use their products) if there were more posts like this that I could read before I upgrade. I'm having the flickering w adjustment layer problem you mentioned in #2 - and this post is over month old! Aghh

Cc opacity keyframe on black and white adjustment layer doesn't work

hi
i use premiere cc under w8.1 pro
well i noticed a strange behavior
i added an adjustament layer , black and white effect , and several keyframes
seems that premiere reads only the first one
for example
1) keyframe -> @0% the second keyframe @100% the video is all in color ,doesn't matter how many keyframes i add
2) first key @100% second @0% (opacity) the video is all in black and white , again doesn't matter how many keyframes i add , only the first is read
i tried the black and white effect , on video ,titles and so on and it works perfectly , it doesn't work on the adjustament layer
i tried others effects on adjustament layer and they work
is a bug ?
is there an known bug in prev. versions?
thanks

thanks i do it, saturation
but can't understand why this happen with adjustament layer only
may i know which cc version do you use?
sometime i think to buy c6 , i have cc subscription

Animate transform of sequence and adjustment layer

New to AE - trying to use it to rescue some time lapse footage taken in very dusty conditions. Lots of sensor dust
So far
Exported sequence as tiff's from LR
Imported as tiff sequence in AE
Created "New comp from selection"
Set the comp to 1080p24
On the footage layer - scaled down to 46% to see all the image
Added an adjustment layer
Added small ellipse masks over each dust spot to the adjustment layer
Feathered all masks to about 10px
Applied the dust and scratches filter to the adjustment layer and set to radius 30
This looks very nice. It's worked for all 6 sequences so far.
What I want to do now is a false pan or zoom by using different parts of the image - after all - the tiff sequence is far larger than 1080p.
I tried creating a new comp - embedding the original comp as a layer and then keyframed the position and scale of the layer. This gives me the effect I want and holds the footage and adjustment layer transform in sync - but - I'm seeing poorer quality as I scale closer.
I suspect that if I applied the scaling to the original footage layer in the original comp I'd not see this degredation (in other words - instead of scaling the outer comp from 100% to 130% I reckon that I should scale the footage layer itself in the inner comp from 46% up to 80% or so). This would also be more flexible as I could move across an image with position transform rather than just scaling.
But I just can't quite see how to also scale and position the adjustment layer in sync so that the masked ellipses stay over the dust spots over time.
I'd thought I could simply manually apply the same transform to both layers - but the footage layer starts at 46% scale - the adjustment at 100% (looks like it'd work for position tho).
Would be glad if someone could point me in the right direction

That looks perfect. Didn't even know it existed - but it looks like it does exactly what I want - control the inner params on each layer from the outer comp.
Will give it a try.
Then I just have to get quicktime rendering not to crash but that's a different question

Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer problems

I posted earlier about having problems printing with new color laser printer and colors printing wrong. It is not the printer, the printer prints perfect color from what I see on my screen (calibrated). Have narrowed it down to a hue/saturation adjustment layer. When I open and print a scrapbook paper (brownish color jpg) with out doing anything to it, it prints perfect color. When I add an hue/saturation adjustment layer (to change the color to blue) then it won't print the right color. I have checked "colorize" and unchecked "colorize" when adding an adjustment layer. I have tried flattening the image and merging the layers before printing. I have unclipped the adjustment layer to the layer below. It prints the wrong colors only when I add a hue/saturation layer
What am I missing? This is driving me absolutely crazy!!!
Thanks!

You could try Layer - Flatten just for the moment of printing (don't forget to undo it afterward).
Seems too basic a problem, though... I more strongly suspect a color management problem.
Is there a difference in the way you're opening the file that prints well vs. the one that's a problem? Or is this one and the same file?
What is your document profile?
What do you have set in the Photoshop print dialog for color management?
What do you have set in the printer driver for color management?

Adjustment Layer Issue in CS3 & new Mac Pro

anyone having the following issue:
when adding an adjustment layer to a file I get a spinning beachball for 10-30 seconds before the adjustment layer is applied. Strange behaviour never seen before. New Mac Pro Dual Quad 3.2ghz, 10gb Ram, Nvidia Gefore 8800GT.
S.O.S.
Thx!

How did you update to 10.5.3?
Via Software Update; or from the COMBO?
[I notice that MacFixit are also now strenuously urging people to stay away from SU and to use the COMBO instead.
[Pace Stockholm!]
And did you run DiskWarrior and Repair permissions both before and after you installed the new software?

Adjustment layer to apply to a previous layer mask

i want to use a separate adjustment layer (curves) to apply to the previous layer luminance mask only rather than to the layer as a whole -
possible or no -
i can't see a way to separate applied curves from the mask -
ta,
d

thanks for the quick replies - here is a more detailed explanation of what i want to do -
i've made a luminance mask (command/alt/tilde) and applied it to the layer (to apply sharpening in highlights only) - now, i can also apply curves to this mask for a more precise application of the mask - i'm fine with all this - however -
i'd like to make all of this into an action, still no problem - but i'd like to have the curves (applied to the luminance mask) as a separate layer so that they could be varied after different pictures are put thru the action -
when i try to make a curve adjustment layer it will only apply to the complete picture + mask layer below - i want it to apply to only the mask so that it is tweakable after the batch action -
does this make sense now, and if so is it possible, have i missed something -
thanks,
d

I added an adjustment layer. Now it only letting me export as AAF?!
